The Rue plant, often referred to as the “herb of grace,” is celebrated across Africa and the world for its spiritual powers. Known for its ability to cleanse negativity, protect against envy and jealousy, and promote harmony, Rue has been used for centuries in rituals and spiritual practices. In this article, we’ll explore three Rue rituals, ranging from basic to complex, to help you remove negative energies and restore balance in your life.
Why Use Rue for Spiritual Cleansing?
Rue is a sacred plant deeply rooted in African spirituality and other cultural traditions. It is believed to:
- Cleanse negative energies and blockages.
- Protect against envy, jealousy, and gossip.
- Remove the evil eye and harmful intentions.
- Harmonize relationships and resolve arguments.
- Transform negative energy into positive vibrations.
Governed by the planet Mars and associated with the fire element, Rue’s energy is powerful and assertive, making it ideal for removing deeply rooted negativity.
1. Basic Rue Ritual: Rue Tea Cleanse
This simple ritual uses Rue tea to purify your energy.
What You’ll Need
- Fresh or dried Rue leaves.
- A pot of water.
Steps
- Boil a handful of Rue leaves in water for 10 minutes.
- Allow the tea to cool.
- Use the Rue tea to wash your hands and feet while visualizing negativity leaving your body.
- Pour the leftover tea outside, away from your home, to release negative energy.
This basic ritual is ideal for quick cleansing when you feel mildly overwhelmed by negative energy.
2. Intermediate Rue Ritual: Rue Smoke Cleansing
This ritual leverages Rue’s smoke to cleanse your space and aura.
What You’ll Need
- A bundle of dried Rue.
- A fireproof dish or incense burner.
- Matches or a lighter.
Steps
- Light the Rue bundle and let it smolder, producing smoke.
- Carefully move the smoking Rue around your body, starting from your head and working downward.
- Walk through each room of your home, allowing the smoke to reach all corners while repeating an affirmation like: “I release all negativity and invite peace and protection.”
- Extinguish the Rue bundle and store it for future use.
This ritual is excellent for deeper cleansing of both your energy and your living space.
3. Advanced Rue Ritual: Full Body and Home Cleansing
This comprehensive ritual combines multiple cleansing techniques for maximum effect.
What You’ll Need
- A bouquet of Rue (male or female Rue).
- Rue essential oil or sandalwood essential oil (or your daily perfume).
- A small container.
- A prayer or affirmation of your choice (e.g., a prayer to Archangel Michael, St. Benedict, or any entity you have faith in).
Steps
- Energize the Rue Plant: Take the Rue in your hands and add a few drops of Rue essential oil or your preferred substitute. Hold the plant and repeat your full name three times to transfer your energy to it.
- Set Your Intention with Prayer: Offer a prayer or affirmation, asking for cleansing and protection. For example: “Archangel Michael, cleanse me of all negativity and surround me with your protective light. May envy, jealousy, and harmful energies be transformed into peace and abundance.”
- Sweep Away Negative Energy: Gently pass the Rue bouquet over your body, starting from the top of your head and moving down to your feet. Pay special attention to areas where you feel tension or blockages.
- Cleanse Your Home: Use the same Rue bouquet to sweep negativity from your home. Walk clockwise through each room, focusing on doorways and corners.
- Dispose of the Rue Safely: Once done, the Rue will have absorbed negative energy. Avoid touching it again and dispose of it far from your home. Clean your hands and the container thoroughly.
This advanced ritual is perfect for times when negativity feels deeply ingrained or widespread.
Additional Tips for Using Rue
- Rue Water for Home Cleansing: Boil Rue leaves in water and use the cooled liquid to wipe surfaces in your home. This practice removes lingering negativity and promotes harmony.
- Rue in Charm Bags: Place dried Rue in a small pouch and carry it with you to ward off jealousy and gossip.
- Plant Rue in Your Garden: Having Rue near your home creates a protective shield, keeping negativity at bay.
