Rue has a long history of use in spiritual and folk traditions for cleansing, protection, and the removal of unwanted influences.
Use Rue Oil when you want to clear away negativity, break up troublesome energy, or strengthen spiritual protection around yourself, your home, or your belongings. It is especially appropriate after difficult encounters, periods of conflict, or situations that have left you feeling that something unwelcome is lingering around you.
Rue Oil may be used to dress candles for protection, cleansing, uncrossing, and obstacle removal; applied to appropriate ritual objects or charms; or incorporated into personal spiritual work intended to clear away harmful influences and restore a cleaner, more protected atmosphere.
Traditionally, rue is also associated with warding off envy, the evil eye, ill wishes, and negative intentions directed toward you. When using the oil for this purpose, focus not on returning harm, but on removing its influence and preventing it from taking hold.
Use Rue Oil when it's time to clear away what doesn't belong, strengthen your defenses, and move forward without carrying unwanted energy with you.
