As a healer, mystic and practitioner who uses her “powers” for good, one of my passions is passing on knowledge and information to my fellow empaths and other members of my "global vibe tribe" for the purpose of self-mastery, self-empowerment and self-healing.

Many of us “vibe tribers” know a lot. However, it is impossible to know everything, which is why sharing information on our online platforms is so invaluable, in my opinion. Perhaps many of you consider Aloe Vera to be a staple in your “witchy kitchens” and/or apothecary shelves at home. Perhaps many of you do not. But, for those of you who do utilize it regularly as a part of your medicinal and/or magickal practice, I’m sure that there are some additional ways in which other healers and practitioners use Aloe Vera that you haven’t yet heard of. Until now. 😊

This usage may be well-known among those of us who come from a long and blended multi-generational bloodline of Native American, African, and African American ancestors who were shamans, “medicine men & women” and yes, if you will—witches! As you know, many of our ancestors from past generations who practiced “the craft” did not have access to physicians and mainstream medical facilities like we do today. So, they relied heavily on their knowledge of and kindship with Mother Gaia and the herbs that she produced for their medicinal benefit. They understood intuitively and spiritually that “herbs are for healing.”

And so, fast forward to now, here I am, so fortunate and appreciative that this information has been passed on by my sacred ancestors, the “Spiritual OG’s” in my bloodline, who through oral tradition transferred this sacred and life sustaining wisdom, down to their “chosen light bearers” from generation to generation, all the way down to me. What a privilege! Even more of a privilege is that this sacred knowledge has also been passed down to me through the living consciousness of my blood and genetics, knowledge and codes which lied dormant, until a major catalyst for my spiritual awakening and memory of the magick inside of me “kicked in.”

Now, when it comes to healing, I am an advocate of preventative care and rely primarily on natural remedies. Over the counter remedies and pharmaceuticals have their place in society as well in the order of things, in my opinion. But for me personally, I only use mainstream medicine and/or medical care as a “last resort” where a quick aid is needed due to a lack of consistent application of natural remedies on my part, or because of a sudden stress-induced affliction where a natural remedy—due to the severity of the ailment—simply will not suffice.

So, with all that aside, here are six medicinal and magickal benefits of Aloe Vera (gel and juice included) that I believe my fellow healers, mystics and practitioners should know about:

1. Aloe Vera can be used to heal wounds:

Yes. Aside from wounds due to gun shots, knife stabs, and that random, “freakish attack” from killer bees, Aloe Vera (gel) can be used (topically) to heal minor wounds or skin rashes that stem from sun burns, bug bites, or minor burns. Say, for example, if you got a random burn one day from lighting one of your favorite candles because you were not paying attention while you were multitasking. Aloe Vera can help with that.

Or, perhaps you got sun burned from doing rooftop yoga one morning. You were so motivated to get into your morning routine that you forgot to apply some sunscreen. So, you went outside your house looking like one of my Latina vibe tribers, but an hour later, you came back in looking like one of my Nigerian vibe tribe sisters! *chuckles* 😊

In this scenario, Aloe Vera would come in handy as well in soothing and alleviating your extremely sun-burned skin! But better not forget that SP-15 next time. Unless of course you plan on marking a different box on the Census Bureau form in the near future!

In my case, I keep a refrigerated jar full of fresh Aloe Vera on deck to heal wounds that come from me constantly burning my damn finger while trying to light a piece of Palos Santos that has burned down to a tiny little stump. Because yes, I love my Palos Santos and I refuse to allow any part of it to go to waste!  So, until one of my fellow “vibe tribers” and creatives make a special “roach clip” for us Palos Santos lovers, I will continue to take that consistent finger burn for the team! 😊

2. Aloe Vera can also be used to help relieve digestive issues:

If you are a highly sensitive empath like me, then you are constantly dealing with tummy issues because your second, or “psychic brain” is located inside your solar plexus area, or your belly. Now, this hypersensitivity is good for when you walk into a room and your “gut instincts” kick in to alert you that there is a predator, an energy vampire, or your average, everyday attention-seeking asshole within 100 feet of you! Not so good, however, if you want to just relax and enjoy a nice meal, for example, at a busy restaurant by yourself, or with your spouse, loved-one, or business associate.

That’s where good old Aloe Vera comes in. I personally keep a small travel size jar handy in my purse so that I can slip a tablespoon of it before a business lunch with a new client/customer when I know that I am going to be around a lot of people, or on the weekends and evenings when I am dining out. It beats taking Tums or those other over the counter antacids because of the preservatives and junk in them. 

And, although the taste of Aloe Vera is indeed acquired, I’m a lot more at ease knowing that I am ingesting a more natural alternative to what’s available in the stores for tummy relief. Not only that, but after a few weeks of “downing” the wonder gel, you barely notice its somewhat bitter and tarty after taste!  Let the “global vibe tribe coven” say, Ase’! 😊

3. Aloe Vera can be used as a laxative or a natural colon cleanser:

If you are a holistic health enthusiast like me then you have learned, from experience, that “a happy colon is a happy you!” And, if you are also like me, you have also learned that striving for optimum health today with all the nefarious preservatives and chemicals present in our foods and water is damn near on the level of engaging in an all-out battle of spiritual and biological warfare!

Nearly everything we consume—not to mention the air we breathe is contaminated to some degree or another. For example, “they” tell you to drink lots of water for your health. But then most water is contaminated. So, you buy bottled water. Well, the plastic bottles seep BPA’s into your drinking water. That’s bad. So, you go out and buy an expensive, top of the line copper water bottle.

Well, later you learn that copper is toxic to the body. So, if you store your water too long in the copper bottle—some say more than three hours—you will risk getting copper poisoning. And you could die. That’s really bad. So, out of frustration, and to save a few bucks you go back to drinking tap water. That is, until you learn, after watching a “documentary for nerds” on You Tube that tap water is nothing more than “re-processed” and sterilized sewage water! The f**k?! Now you have nightmares about dying from consuming remanufactured toilet water before you actually die from the shit! *No pun intended!* 😊 You see where I’m going here folks?

And don’t even get me started on the war between the meat-eating mafia and the vegetable villains! Both sides are at war. Both sides also claim that their way of eating is healthier. Yet both sides are managing to kick the proverbial bucket equally to one another, while suffering from pre-existing health conditions that foods sometimes just can’t heal. But I’ll save that for another post. I believe you get my drift here when I say that everything down to the foods you choose to eat, or not, is a constant life or death battle.

With that being said, for those of us who are still in “the game” of trying to figure all this stuff out, we have at least learned that regularly detoxing the colon is beneficial. And, this is where good old Aloe Vera comes in yet again. Aloe Vera can not only be used as a mild, natural laxative, but it can also be used as a natural colon cleanser for those of us who are advocates of doing seasonal detoxes. That’s four colon cleanses a year for about a week or two in length. One for Summer, one for Spring, one for Winter and one for my favorite season of all time: Fall!  😊

But, ladies and gentlemen, Aloe Vera is not only great for medicinal purposes. It is also good for magickal purposes! *cues thunder sound effects and creepy horror flick laughter* 😊 Listed below are just a few of the magickal uses for Aloe Vera that you, my fellow empaths, healers and practitioners may find useful:

4. Aloe Vera can be used for protection:

Yes. My fellow witchlings! Aloe Vera can be used for spiritual protection for yourself and for your loved ones by warding off baneful magick cast against you by your known and unknown enemies, who may or may not be “practicing” black magicians.

One method of using Aloe Vera (the plant) for magickal/spiritual protection is to hang an Aloe Vera plant over your door way—which is an entry point, or portal to and from your home. This is to drive away malevolent spirits and energies, including the “evil eye” away from you and those who live with you in your home. If you are an empath, healer, and/or practitioner who host parties often inside your home, and/or if you just have that type of home with that “cozy vibe” that everyone loves to come to, then you should definitely use the Aloe Vera plant as a form of protection in your home.

As a norm, I require my guests to take their shoes off upon entering my home. I also smudge them! At first, they were a bit taken aback by my “eccentric ways.” But now, they understand why I do what I do, and many of them now do the same. Some of my loved ones and acquaintances even hire me to do cleansing rituals for their homes before and/or after hosting parties, or when they are planning to have relatives and friends at their homes during the holidays. And why? Because as empaths, healers, and practitioners, we all understand the importance of energy, and how it is transferable to both animate and inanimate objects.

For example, if a guest comes to my home and she has previously been in a heated and unpleasant argument with her mate or spouse before coming over, that “energy of strife” now has the opportunity to enter into my home via her auric field. And, if that lower vibrational energy is not neutralized or cleansed from my home immediately during, or after she and the other guests have left, it can transfer to my home and everyone in it to cause disharmony. Facts!

You could also place an Aloe Vera leaf under your bed for protection, and it would work similar to a dream catcher. It would aid in warding off nightmares or bad dreams as well as psychic attacks and astral projections from black magicians and workers of the craft who are sexually-deviant and perverse! Because, quick side note here: many of you may believe that incubus and succubus spirits are purely disembodied spirits or entities. 

And that is sometimes the case. But oftentimes, they are nothing more than workers of the craft who have astral projected into your home to commit astral rape! And yes, astral rape is a real phenomenon. But more on this later. I’ll save the details for another post, because I “feel” you wanting to know more about this topic!  And if so, just let me know in the comment section below that you are interested and I will write a post about it.😊

5. Aloe Vera can be used for love spell workings:

Many healers and workers of the craft, like myself also use Aloe Vera (gel, or juice) in love spell workings. This is because Aloe Vera is associated with Venus—the planet that rules love and passion, and the Moon which governs one’s mood and emotions. So, it would make sense to use Aloe Vera for love workings right? Exactly! 😊

Now, before I tell you how I use Aloe Vera in my love spell workings, let me first make it clear that, “I do not cast love spells on unwilling and unknowing participants, ever!” In fact, I wrote a blog post about it, so check it out if you have not yet read it. In the past, when I have used Aloe Vera for love spell castings, I have only used it with the permission or consent of my lover/mate. And even now that I am married and “happily off the market,” the rules still apply today. Ok? Good! So now that we are clear on that. Let’s proceed.

One way that Aloe Vera can be used in a love spell working is to make your lover or mate a tasty smoothie! Simply add about two tablespoons of the gel into your blender with the smoothie while citing your love incantation over the smoothie for the desired results. Most female practitioners would find it useful to use Aloe Vera in your partner’s “Love Smoothie” for the purpose of pro-longed stamina and energy, or to consciously purge him from potential outside “energies” prior to love making. 

I think you know where I’m going with this. So, I’ll say no more. And again, remember: Never, under any circumstance should you cast a love spell on your partner or lover without his or her permission! It’s neither cool nor kosher to violate another person’s free will, especially in the world of magick. Besides that, you shouldn’t do it simply because there is some major karmic backlash for doing that stupid shit! So, don’t do it! 😒

6. Aloe Vera is beneficial for working glamor/beauty spells:

Because Aloe Vera (gel) serves well in healing wounds and aiding the skin in its ability to retain its moisture, smoothness and vitality, it is an excellent “magickal” ingredient to use for glamor/beauty spells. For example, if you make your own “lotions and potions” like me, then you would be pleased to know that you can add Aloe Vera gel to many, if not all, of your handmade beauty potions for your hair, face and entire body.

Just make sure that if you have sensitive skin like I do, that you do a test first by placing some raw and natural Aloe gel to your inner wrist first. And if by the next day, you don’t have a little rash or a stinging sensation, then you are good to go! However, if your face is too sensitive, then limit your use of Aloe Vera in your glamor/beauty spells for your hair, nails, and body only. Also, remember to “charge” your Aloe Vera gel first, prior to adding it into your glamor/beauty potions for the desired effects.

And that, ladies and gentlemen are the 6 benefits of Aloe Vera for my fellow empaths, healers and practitioners! Now, of course you know that there are many more benefits than the ones I have listed here, and perhaps you know of some benefits that I don’t yet know about. If so, I am curious to know!
