Description

Also sold as Van Van herb, Zacate Limón and Fever Grass. Lemongrass is worked with for clearing mental clutter, sharpening focus, and resetting energetic direction. In spiritual practice, it supports fresh starts, mental alertness, and breaking stagnant thought patterns. This herb is often chosen when attention feels scattered or when intentions need refinement and clarity.

Plant Context

Lemongrass grows in tall, fast-moving clumps, spreading outward with ease. Its crisp scent and upright growth reflect its spiritual symbolism of forward motion and mental clarity. It thrives when trimmed regularly, mirroring the need to clear excess in order to stay focused.

In the Hand

Pale straw-green cut stalk, wiry and sharp-edged, with a clean lemon-ginger smell. This is the backbone of Van Van, the oldest and most-used formula in the hoodoo canon.

Work with it

Lemongrass is commonly used in clearing rituals, focus work, and intention resets. A simple practice includes preparing it before goal-setting or journaling sessions to support clarity and clean momentum.
