Rue (Ruda) Soap is a traditional cleansing bar loved for its “clear-out” energy. It’s commonly used to wash away negativity, break stagnant conditions, and support strong personal boundaries—especially after heavy days, stressful interactions, or spiritual work. A proprietary soap created by Michelle for spiritual cleansing.

Spiritual Uses

• Spiritual cleansing & uncrossing: Many people use rue in wash work to help remove unwanted energy, bad luck, or lingering negativity.
• Protection & warding: Ideal before ritual, prayer, or going out into crowded spaces—often used to help “seal” the aura and strengthen energetic boundaries.
• Road opening / resetting: A great choice when you’re starting something new, moving through a difficult season, or wanting a fresh spiritual reset.
• Home + personal clearing: Use as part of a cleansing routine alongside floor washes, smoke cleansing, or protective candles.

Self-Care Uses

Rue is valued for a refreshing, clarifying wash that helps you feel “clean and reset.” Many customers enjoy it for:

• Muscle & joint comfort (topical rub): Commonly used diluted in a carrier oil and massaged onto areas of tension (neck, shoulders, back, legs).
• Aromatic support: When used in a diffuser (if it’s essential oil) or lightly on the body (properly diluted), it’s often chosen for a sharp, “wake-up” scent that can feel clarifying.
• Post-stress body care: Some customers like it as part of a self-care routine after long days—more for the “reset” feeling than a medical effect.

How to Use

Lather in hands or on a washcloth and cleanse as you normally would. For spiritual work, many people set an intention while washing (example: “Remove what doesn’t belong to me and leave me protected.”).

Rue (Ruta graveolens), often referred to as the “Queen of the Herbs,” is a powerful and highly respected botanical in many spiritual traditions. This title reflects its long-standing reputation as one of the strongest herbs for protection, uncrossing, and reversing negative work.

Traditionally used to break hexes, remove the evil eye, and send back harmful energy, rue is commonly worked with in spiritual baths, floor washes, and protection rituals. It is especially valued for its ability to cleanse crossed conditions, clear spiritual blockages, and strengthen personal protection, making it a staple herb for rootworkers and practitioners alike.

Rue is also used to bless spaces, strengthen energetic boundaries, and promote spiritual clarity, making it essential for maintaining balance and protection in both magical and everyday practice.

Rue is often used in road opening work as a powerful uncrossing and cleansing herb that prepares the path before new opportunities can flow in. In hoodoo and folk traditions, it is commonly worked with to remove spiritual blockages, negative conditions, or crossed energy that may be preventing progress. By clearing away these obstacles, rue helps “clean the road,” making it easier for true road-opening herbs like lemongrass or abre camino to do their work. It is frequently used in spiritual baths, floor washes, or rituals prior to road opening spells, while also providing ongoing protection to keep the path clear and free from interference.

In traditional herbal use, rue has been valued for its stimulating and supportive properties, often used in very small, controlled amounts. Historically, it has been used to support digestion and circulation and applied externally in some traditions for its soothing and antimicrobial qualities. However, rue is a very potent herb and should always be used with caution, as improper use can be harmful.

Uses:

• Spiritual cleansing, protection, and uncrossing
• Reversing negativity and breaking hexes
• Warding off the evil eye and harmful intentions
• Used in witchcraft for protection, banishing, and spellwork
• Blessing spaces and strengthening energetic boundaries
• Traditional herbal support for digestion and circulation (with caution)
• External use in herbal preparations (traditional use)
• Road Opening workings.

Antonio Pagliarulo explores the phenomenon of the Evil Eye: what it is, its origins and causes— and, most crucially, how to avoid, repel, and remove it. Rich with cultural anecdotes and traditions, mystical lore, and modern concepts, The Evil Eye offers practical advice for shielding yourself from the destructive and lingering power of this mysterious and persistent force.

• Defines the Evil Eye and traces its roots into antiquity and across an extraordinary breadth of cultures and traditions
• Shows readers how to diagnose the Evil Eye, how to cure it, and how to cast it on others
• Explores the use of amulets and talismans bearing the “Evil Eye,” including its remarkable prevalence in popular jewelry designs
• Includes the history and use of various talismans such as the Hamsa; the Italian cornicello and mano figa; the azabache stone; the Kabbalah red string; mirror pendants; and many others

Reviews:

“Finally, there is a book written by an actual practitioner, in plain language, with warmth and compassion, that takes the Evil Eye and the misery it causes seriously. If you have been wondering about the Eye; if you fear it or think you have been struck by it; if you feel drawn to Evil Eye jewelry, this book is for you. May it provide you with safety, relief, and happiness.”
—from the foreword by Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells and Pure Magic: A Complete Course in Spellcasting

“I highly recommend Antonio Pagliarulo’s contemporary exploration of this ancient and globally recognized, yet persistently enigmatic subject viewed through the lens of his own culture and experience, as well as those of people from other cultures. His writing is approachable and relatable without skimping on the requisite academia. The Evil Eye: The History, Mystery, and Magic of the Quiet Curse is an excellent resource for anyone interested in folklore and folk magic.”
