Turmeric
(Cucurma longa)
Turmeric is a perennial plant with long tuberous roots; it is this part that is used to make the spice we are familiar with.
Dissolve turmeric and salt in water to make a blessing and purifying liquid to sprinkle around your home, work place or ritual area. Be careful as turmeric does stain, unless you want everything to turn bright yellow…
Put a piece of turmeric root above your threshold to protect your home.
Use turmeric in incense blends to purify and bring peace to your house.
