Bath Spell Work and Rituals
Cleansing Bath Ritual
A simple cleansing bath ritual is a great way to get rid of negative energies and soothe your mind and body. It can bring you back to a state of mind that is ready to manifest your amazing self again at full throttle.
Instructions:
Fill up your tub with warm water
As the tip fills, prepare your space by cleansing the area with Palo Santo, Sage, or any other herb of your choosing. You can also light an incense stick and leave it for the duration of your bath ritual.
You can put up music and set up crystals along the edge of your tub or floor. I suggest using water safe crystals for this.
Now that your tub is almost full to where you want it, throw in your bath salt shot into the water and say a few words to put out your intent onto the universe. Saying your intent is optional :) Do it if it feels right.
Once you have let your elixir steep for a bit and your water has turned a pale pink, its time to descend into the water like the goddess you are.
Enjoy your bath and meditate.
That's it! It's a simple and effective way to cleanse yourself with a bath ritual.
I hope these bath salt blends bring you an amazing bath experience. You can use them in conjunction with spell work to get rid of negative energies, cleanse and so much more. Remember that spell work can always be modified to suit your needs. Even though this blend contains many amazing herbs and salts, if you are wanting to focus your energy into just a few, it can still be used and help achieve the manifestations you seek. Witchcraft's most important tool is YOU :)
