Bay Rum Cologne

Bay Rum – Spiritual Cleansing & Intention Wash

Bay Rum is one of those old-school spiritual staples you can keep around because it can be worked in so many different ways. Traditionally used as an external body rub and cologne, spiritually it is commonly incorporated into cleansing, protection, refreshing the spirit, spiritual baths, floor washes, altar work, and intention work.

What makes Bay Rum especially useful is that you can load the bottle with herbs according to what you’re trying to accomplish. Think of the Bay Rum as your base, then choose herbs that match your intention and allow them to infuse.

🌿 Ways to Load Your Bay Rum

Protection & Cleansing
Add rue, rosemary, basil, hyssop, or a small piece of High John root. Use when you need to spiritually clean yourself, strengthen your protection, or clear away unwanted energy.

Money & Prosperity
Add cinnamon, basil, allspice, bay leaves, or five-finger grass. Work it when calling in prosperity, business success, opportunities, and financial movement.

Road Opening
Add abre camino, lemongrass, basil, bay leaf, or master root. Great for removing stagnant energy and spiritually preparing the way for new opportunities.

Love & Attraction
Add rose petals, lavender, damiana, or catnip. Use when working on attraction, sweetness, confidence, self-love, and drawing loving energy toward you.

Spiritual Strength & Ancestor Work
Add tobacco, rosemary, bay leaf, or a small amount of an appropriate spiritual herb connected to your practice. Bay Rum may also be used to refresh spiritual spaces and in certain ancestor or spirit workings according to your tradition.

How to Use It
Once loaded, allow your herbs to sit and infuse. Pray over the bottle and clearly state what you are asking it to do. It can then be incorporated into spiritual baths, cleansing work, floor washes, or used to refresh your hands and spiritual tools when appropriate.

✨ Omi Tutu Tip: Don’t just throw every herb you own in the bottle. Give the bottle a job. Choose your intention first, then select herbs that support that specific purpose.

For external use only. Contains alcohol and menthol. Do not ingest. Avoid eyes, sensitive areas, broken skin, and open flames. Patch test before applying to skin. Herbs added to the bottle may increase the risk of irritation or allergic reaction.
