The Spiritual Significance

Rue, known as arruda across the Portuguese and Spanish speaking world, is tied in folk magic to the planet Mars and the element of Fire, and has been used for centuries as a powerful herb of protection. It is especially associated with guarding against the evil eye, mal de ojo or mau-olhado, and with clearing jealousy, envy, and ill will sent your way. Practitioners burn it to shield themselves and their homes, to break and banish negativity, and to cleanse a space of unwanted influence. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and wards the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to guard a space, turn back the evil eye, or clear jealousy and ill will.

How To Use

1. Set the stick in a holder. Place it in a heat-safe incense holder or ash catcher that will catch the falling ash.
2. Light the tip. Light the coated tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the ember smolders.
3. Ward the space. Move the smoke through your home or around yourself, focusing on protection and clearing as you go.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, let the ash cool fully before disposing, and never leave burning incense unattended.
