Lemongrass Cut, 1 oz (Cymbopogon citratus)

Lemongrass is a blade of bright, citrus-sharp green that folk magic turns to two ends: clearing the way and opening the sight. Cymbopogon citratus is worked for purification and psychic awareness, steeped into road-opening washes to sweep obstacles aside and burned to sharpen intuition. This cut grass carries that keen, lemony lift.

This ounce is the starter size for road-opening washes, purification work, and psychic charms; the pound size and matching lemongrass incense sticks go deeper. Reach for lemongrass when the path needs clearing.

The Spiritual Significance

Lemongrass is sharp, clean, and forward-moving, and its magic matches its scent. Its great working is purification of the road-opening kind: steeped into washes and swept across thresholds, it is used to clear obstacles, break up stuck situations, and open the way to opportunity, a bright cleanser that does not just clear a space but clears a path. It carries a strong reputation for sweeping away the stale and the blocked.

Lemongrass is also worked for psychic awareness, burned or carried to sharpen intuition, lift mental fog, and ready the mind for divination, and it is used to repel negativity and ill intent. It is a clarifying, opening, faintly lucky grass. Lemongrass is widely used in cooking, which is not what we offer it for; Plentiful Earth sells this cut grass strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a food, and it is not for ingestion.

How To Use Lemongrass

1. Brew a road-opening wash. Steep lemongrass in hot water, cool, and strain, then wash a threshold or floor to clear obstacles, for external use only.
2. Sharpen the sight. Burn a little over charcoal in a fire-safe dish in a ventilated room, within sight and away from anything flammable, before divination.
3. Sew a clarity sachet. Tuck lemongrass into a charm to clear mental fog and lift intuition.
4. Sweep a path open. Add it to road-opening and opportunity charms.
5. Store it sealed, in a cool, dark place between workings.
