Church Soil. 1 oz

Cemetery dirt (often confused with or used in similar contexts to "churchyard dirt" in syncretic practices) is valued in Santería and related religions for containing the energy of the dead, ruin, and transformation. It is primarily used in protection rituals (through ancestor worship) or for magical workings, including the breaking of relationships or defense against enemies.

• Connection with ancestors: It can be placed on altars dedicated to the dead (egun) to ensure their presence and protection.
• Protection: It is used in specific rituals for self-defense, often asking permission and using dirt from specific graves.
• Workings for change: It is used in "imitative magic" rituals to cause closings, endings, or drastic changes in life situations, harnessing the energy of finality that death represents.
• Necromancy and divination: It is used to conjure or attempt to gain knowledge from the spiritual plane through connection with the deceased.
