Mum gifted us some excess lemons she had, and these kinds of situations are normally a subtle nudge that maybe I can work with them. It also reminds me of Amalfi Coast Travels and the post-dinner limencello, yum. (I made it once, it was so super sweet!!!).
From Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs: Feminine, Moon, Water with Powers of longevity, purification, love and friendship. Lemon juice mixed with water makes a great cleansing wash for negative energies, as well as many other witchy uses but I feel for me this is probably going to be its most common use.
From the Wisdom of TCM: lemon is a yin food, Cool; acid and sweet properties. Channels of entry are stomach and lungs. Beneficial components include limonoids, vitamin C, hisperidin. Lemons regulate digestive qi, and it is often recommended to drink in warm water first thing upon rising.
And from my spell book the Nine Nail Lemon Evil Eye Charm.
So this is pretty straight forward, cut up, squeeze and add to virgin water (gathered directly from rainwater). I'm going to Lunar-Charge this one given its affiliation to the Moon. The acidity in it is a natural preservative too so easy peasey this one.
Plus the general more commonly known health benefits.
Arrivederci x
