Tar Water ☾ Trouble-Blockin’ Protection Curio
Old Southern folk conjure, bottled in a dropper.
⚠︎ Do not ingest. External ritual use only.⚠︎
Tar Water is one of the oldest folk recipes whispered through the South—swamp-born protection, pine-slick warding, and spirit-banishing power. This isn’t sweet perfume magic; it’s raw, gritty conjure water brewed for cleansing, uncrossing, and keeping haints at bay. Handcrafted with pine tar, distilled water, mugwort, and hyssop, it carries the strength of fire, smoke, and swamp. A little goes a long way.
My Lumbee and African ancestors once labored in the pine swamps of the Carolinas, gathering resin and burning pine in kilns to make tar and turpentine. This backbreaking work carried the spirit of survival and deep relationship with the pine. This Tar Water honors their hands, their endurance, and the protective power of the swamp-born pine.
✦ Ritual Tip – The Haint-Stopper Drop
Add a few drops to a mop bucket for a protective floor wash, or place in the corners of a room to drive out lingering energy. Carry it in your bag or anoint thresholds with intention. This water is for crossing out trouble and sealing your space.
☀︎ Traditional Uses of Tar Water in Conjure & Hoodoo
• Spirit Banishing: Sprinkled in corners, across thresholds, or around property lines to run off haints (restless or malevolent spirits).
• Evil Removal: Used like a spiritual disinfectant—drives out crossed-up energy, curses, or bad juju left behind by people.
• Protective Warding: Added to mop water or floor washes to seal and protect the home after cleansing.
• Boundary Work: Poured at doorways, windows, and gates as a barrier to block gossip, envy, or witchcraft sent your way.
⚡︎ The Catch
Tar Water is strong stuff—it doesn’t discriminate. It clears out everything, good and bad. After using it, many rootworkers follow with a sweeter or more inviting product (like Florida Water, incense, or a honeyed wash) to welcome back good spirits, ancestors, or benevolent energy.
☾ Ingredients & Plant Allies
Pine Tar (banishing, warding, fire-born protection)
Mugwort (sight, spirit work, uncrossing)
Hyssop (biblical purification, protection)
Distilled Water (carrier of intention)
Organic Grape Alcohol (natural preservation)
✦ Why Tar Water?
For centuries, Tar Water has been poured at thresholds, mixed into floor washes, and scattered at graveyards as a defense against curses and spirits. In hoodoo and Southern conjure, pine tar is revered as a swamp-forged shield—thick, dark, and uncompromising. When bottled with herbs like hyssop and mugwort, it becomes a potent ally for cleansing and protection rituals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes. I occasionally take on custom requests. If you’re looking for a special bundle, ritual set, or curated gift, message me to discuss your idea.
Sizing details
Soaps are hand-cut, which means each bar may vary slightly in size and shape. Most bars average around 4–4.5 oz. Oils and fragrances are poured to fill the bottle (by volume, not weight).
Care instructions
Keep soaps in a cool, dry place and let them drain fully between uses to extend their life. Store oils away from direct sunlight, and give them a gentle shake before use. Candles and incense should always be burned with care and never left unattended.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Yes. All orders are wrapped eco-consciously with care. If your order is a gift, you can leave a note at checkout and I’ll include it.
Wholesale availability
I’m open to wholesale orders for shops and boutiques aligned with my values. Message me to discuss details.
Can your ritual oils be used on skin?
Some oils, yes. MOST blends are skin-safe and can be worn as perfume, in baths, or used to anoint candles. Others are ritual-only (like ZeroGrace) and not intended for skin contact. Each listing notes this clearly—please read carefully. Always patch test if you have sensitive skin.
Custom and personalized orders
There’s no single “right” way. Trust your intuition. Soap can be part of a cleansing ritual, oils for anointing or daily wear, candles and incense for setting sacred space. Use them in the way that resonates most with you.
Custom and personalized orders
Yes. Everything is crafted in small batches with clean, conscious ingredients and packaged with sustainability in mind. Always cruelty-free and created to honor both you and the Earth.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
No. Because many Wildfresh creations are used for personal care and ritual, they cannot be returned once opened. They’re meant to bond with you and carry your energy. For both hygienic and energetic reasons, I cannot accept them back.
If something is wrong with your order, please reach out—I’ll always do my best to make it right.
