Employed in numerous spiritual cleansings and ceremonies, Haitian Vodou frequently utilizes Pompeia for attracting love, fortune, prosperity, and for soothing baths and ablutions. In this tradition, Pompeia serves as a gift to the Rada Lwa, particularly Erzulie Freda. It is often sprinkled on sacred spaces dedicated to the Lwa and applied to one's body as an anointment prior to participating in a ritual.
