A deeper look
Rose of Jericho
WhaT exactly is a Rose of Jericho Plant?
The Rose of Jericho plant, AKA the resurrection plant, it a plant that when submersed in water for a period of time will flourish and grow but once removed and left in a dry space will return to its seemingly dead ball appearance. Symbolically, like the resurrection returning he who was dead to life, so this plant can resurrect itself with only one ingredient.
Metaphysically speaking to find the plant that bonds to you and to set your intention for a resurrection in a relationship, a job, a feeling a rejuvenation of sorts, this plant becomes your partner.
While caring for this plant during this process I like to change the water daily (some say change it weekly). Whatever you choose save the water to be used for other ritual type processes.
Some ideas on how to use the water you collected from your Rose of Jericho plant.
The water you have collected from your Rose of Jericho plant can be used in many ways. Some are listed below but you are encouraged to follow your intuition and explore new ways as well.
For general blessings, use the water as you would “holy water” to bless your home, your office or business, your vehicle or other places you wish to protect or bless. This can be used by sprinkling it around the area you wish to protect or bless, use on door frames, or even use it to wipe down key areas. The benefit of this is to welcome good luck and blessings and or to protect from negative energies. Which ever way you choose to use it in your space one of the most important steps is to set the intention as you distribute the water.*
Often I use my Rose of Jericho Water to water plants, add to my bath, wash/wipe off tools I will be using for ritual work (Candles, bowls, crystals)
Wash the outside of your candles before burning, cleanse water safe crystals, use on jewelry like your wedding rings when things feel off.
