Cleansing, Reversals, and Calling St. Martha.

This isn't a Hoodoo working perse but some of these ingredients for this bath are used in a traditional hoodoo bath and if you follow me you'll recognize some of them.

This working is a bit of New Orleans voodoo one, it's used to not only reverse the bad but to protect you while your doing it and afterwards.

COFFEE & REVERSING OIL SPIRITUAL BATH

Ingredients: 1–2 cups used ground coffee or coffee grounds. This is used for “drawing out” negativity.

1–2 teaspoons Reversing Oil

Optional: a handful of blessed salt (sea salt or Epsom) for extra cleansing. It can be blessed by a lay person or yourself saying the 23rd Psalms.

Prepare The Bath: Fill the tub with warm water. Mix the ingredients: Add coffee grounds, salt, and herbs to the bath. Add Reversing Oil: Sprinkle a few drops into the water while focusing on the intention: “All negativity, harm, and bad luck leave my energy and return to their source harmlessly.”

Recite Psalms 23

Soak and visualize: Enter the bath and soak for 15–20 minutes. Visualize dark energy being absorbed by the coffee grounds and leaving your body.

RINSE (optional): You can rinse off in plain water. To give you that fresh energy.

After The Bath: Dry off naturally or air dry if possible, and imagine yourself wrapped in protective, golden light.

Step 2: Reversal Candle (Neutralize & Send Back Negativity)

Dress The Candle: Rub a few drops of Reversing Oil to your candle. Set intention: Focus on sending back any harmful energy safely. You can use a prayer or affirmation like: “All negativity, harm, and bad luck directed toward me return to its source. I am cleansed and protected."

Light the candle in a safe, undisturbed place. Meditate or focus for 10–15 minutes, visualizing harmful energy leaving your client and returning to its origin.

Let the candle burn safely for several hours, or extinguish and relight daily until complete.

Step 3: (Protection & Empowerment)

In New Orleans voodoo we also used Saints and St Martha is a good one for protection.

Now in this last step you could follow up with a St. Martha candle ritual to seal the reversal and invite positive energy or use a protection candle with protection oil with the 23 Psalms.

But for this post let go with the Saint

Place her candle on a safe surface, ideally on a small plate or altar. Light the candle and focus on their intention: “St. Martha, powerful helper and protector, remove all harm and misfortune from my path. Turn every obstacle into blessing and guide me in strength, peace, and victory."

You can meditate quietly for 10–15 minutes while the candle burns. If burning the candle fully is not possible, they can let it burn for a few hours each day until completed. Offer a simple gift afterward (like water or flowers) and thank St. Martha for her guidance.
