Hi I'm very new to witchcraft and Im a little confused on two things.
I'm practicing in secret and I'm unsure of a way to put my water outside (for making moon water) during the night without my parents finding it suspicious. Does anyone have any ideas?
What is the difference between white vinegar and apple cider vinegar for cleansing? Does only white vinegar work for cleansing or does apple cider vinegar work as well?
Thank you!
Hey, Lil' Turtle - I don't know what to say about the moon water aside from knowing some sources say you don't need *direct* moonlight, just keep a closed jar of water on the windowsill overnight and make sure to get it under cover before sunrise.
The main differences between white vinegar (WV) and apple cider vinegar (ACV) that I know of are that, while both are very acidic, WV is much more commonly used for cleaning because it's colorless, while ACV can possibly stain some surfaces/materials and sometimes will even have residue in the bottom of the bottle (part of the fermentation process) that can get in the way of cleaning things. While I've not gotten up the courage for a taste test, I've also read that ACV tastes better. :-)
Hey Brian,
Thanks for the information but do you know the differences between WV and ACV for cleansing not cleaning? Thanks again for the information!
I have to admit this is 1/3 research and 2/3 gut feeling... In a pinch, I think intent is the key, so either would likely work. That said, white vinegar tends to be a "purer" vinegar and thus lends itself better to cleansing because there's no residue (physical or energetic) like there is (at least physically) in ACV. Part of it -- and I didn't think of this until a few moments ago -- is the answer to, "What are you cleansing?" Good, clean water is usually the way to go in part because it's the foundation for most other fluids, the one thing necessary for all life as we know it on this planet, and more likely to absorb without destroying (e.g., even though some things are soluble in water, vinegar is acidic enough to physically attack the structure of almost anything it touches while water is not).
