House of Roots and Bones: Advanced Spiritual Bathing and Cleansing Department

XX. ADVANCED SPIRITUAL BATHING & CLEANSING
Cleanse. Protect. Restore. Prosper.
HORB CLE 501 — Seven-Day Spiritual Bathing Protocols
Examines multi-day bathing as a treatment sequence requiring diagnosis, consistency, observation, disposal, prayer, and follow-up. Students learn to select ingredients, timing, clothing, and disposal according to the condition being addressed. Practical exercises develop the ability to prescribe and document a complete seven-day course of spiritual baths.
HORB CLE 502 — Hyssop & Biblical Cleansing
Examines hyssop through Biblical cleansing imagery, especially Psalm 51, and its place in Hoodoo. Students distinguish Biblical plant identification from commercial substitutes while studying confession, cleansing, repentance, and removal. The course teaches when hyssop is appropriate and how to incorporate it into modern spiritual bathing practice.
HORB CLE 503 — Uncrossing Baths
Specializes in baths prescribed after a crossed condition has been established. Students formulate mild, moderate, and intensive cleansing protocols with proper prayer, disposal, and protection. The course integrates baths into complete condition-removal treatments.
HORB CLE 504 — Road-Opening Baths
Examines bathing for movement, opportunity, and removal of obstacles. Students diagnose the true nature of blockage and select materia, prayer, and timing accordingly. The course teaches bathing as one part of a larger road-opening strategy.
HORB CLE 505 — Prosperity & Drawing Baths
Studies bathing to support favor, money, employment, opportunity, and beneficial conditions. Students choose materia based on what is being drawn and the client’s actual circumstances. The course integrates bathing with prayer, practical action, and follow-up.
HORB CLE 506 — Protection Baths
Teaches bathing for strengthening, guarding, and fortifying the person. Students distinguish cleansing from applying protective conditions and select materia according to specific vulnerability. The course includes protocols for routine protection, pre-conflict preparation, and post-uncrossing fortification.
HORB CLE 507 — House Washes & Floor Washes
Specializes in spiritual washing of floors, doors, windows, porches, walls, and household surfaces. Students learn cleaning direction, water preparation, prayer, disposal, and safety. The course integrates physical cleaning with spiritual treatment for cleansing, protection, peace, drawing, and restoration.
HORB CLE 508 — Smoke, Incense & Fumigation
Examines smoke, incense, burned herbs, and fumigation for cleansing, blessing, protection, attraction, and environmental treatment. Students study ventilation, safety, and proper use alongside historical practice. The course develops competent fumigation skills without compromising household health.
HORB CLE 509 — Cleansing After Enemy Work
Addresses cleansing after hostile work, reversal, graveyard work, or adversarial conditions. Students develop protocols for the worker, client, tools, clothing, home, and disposed remains. The course integrates protection and restoration so cleansing does not leave the person vulnerable.
HORB CLE 510 — Designing a Treatment Sequence: Wash → Protect → Restore → Draw
Teaches order of operations in spiritual treatment. Students learn to determine when to remove, when to protect, when to restore, and when to draw, with case studies and practical exercises. Completion demonstrates the ability to design a coherent, effective treatment plan rather than unrelated or disorganized workings.
