HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN FLORIDA WATER FOR SPIRITUAL PURPOSES
Florida Water is a cherished spiritual cologne used across many traditions for cleansing, protection, blessing, and energetic renewal. Its bright citrus and floral notes are believed to lift heavy energy, invite clarity, and create sacred space.
While you can purchase premade Florida Water, crafting your own allows you to infuse intention, intuition, and personal energy into every bottle.
This guide walks you through creating your own spiritually charged Florida Water in a simple and meaningful way.
WHAT IS FLORIDA WATER (SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING)
Spiritually, Florida Water is used as a tool for energetic purification. It is often used for:
• Clearing stagnant or negative energy
• Spiritual protection and warding
• Aura cleansing
• Ancestor work and altar offerings
• Cleansing tarot cards, crystals, and ritual tools
• Home blessings and floor washes
It is commonly used before rituals, prayer, meditation, or whenever energy feels heavy or unsettled.
SPIRITUAL INGREDIENTS AND THEIR MEANINGS
Base Ingredients:
• High-proof alcohol (vodka or rum) – Preserves the blend and carries intention
• Distilled water – Keeps the energy clean and neutral
Traditional Spiritual Additions:
• Orange peel – Joy, cleansing, solar energy
• Lemon peel – Clarity, purification, protection
• Cinnamon sticks – Protection, warmth, spiritual fire
• Cloves – Grounding, protection, banishing
• Lavender – Peace, calm, spiritual balance
• Rose petals – Love, heart energy, blessing
Optional additions include bay leaf (manifestation), star anise (intuition), or mint (renewal).
HOW TO MAKE FLORIDA WATER (SPIRITUAL METHOD)
What you will need:
• Glass jar with lid
• Citrus peels and herbs of choice
• 1 cup high-proof alcohol
• ½ cup distilled water
• Strainer or cheesecloth
• Glass spray or ritual bottle
Step 1: Set Your Intention
Before you begin, take a moment to ground yourself. Hold your jar and set an intention.
Example intention:
“I cleanse and bless this creation. May it carry clarity, protection, and peace wherever it is used.”
Intention is just as important as the ingredients.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
Place citrus peels and herbs into your jar. Pour alcohol over them until fully covered. Add the distilled water and seal the jar.
Step 3: Charge and Infuse
Allow the mixture to sit for 7 to 14 days. Shake gently once daily. You may place it on your altar, in moonlight, or near spiritual items. Each time you shake the jar, reaffirm your intention.
Step 4: Strain and Bottle
Strain out all herbs and peels. Pour the liquid into a clean glass bottle. Label it with the date and purpose, such as “Florida Water – Protection and Cleansing.”
HOW TO USE FLORIDA WATER SPIRITUALLY
• Dab on wrists or neck for aura cleansing
• Lightly mist altar tools or ritual objects
• Cleanse tarot or oracle decks
• Add to mop water for spiritual floor washes
• Use during prayer, meditation, or energy work
A little goes a long way.
A NOTE ON SPIRITUAL RESPECT
Florida Water has roots in folk magic, ancestral traditions, and spiritual practices across cultures. Approach its use with respect, mindfulness, and intention.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Making your own Florida Water is more than a DIY project. It is a ritual of intention, presence, and spiritual care. When crafted mindfully, it becomes a powerful tool for cleansing, protection, and grounding.
Trust your intuition. Let your hands create what your spirit needs.
