How to make sea, ocean, rain, stream, or river charged water that is safe to consume

I am so excited to finally put pen to paper about this topic! It’s something I’ve mixed into my craft for a few years now and something I’ve been meaning to post about since I brewed up this method. Over the years, I have seen many witchcraft practitioners consume water or oil infused waters that are not safe or healthy; it’s one thing to harm ourselves but another to rampantly spread misinformation. Not pointing fingers or placing blame, I’m not perfect either. 

I will preface this by saying, this does not at all involve or condone the consumption of actual water derived from these natural sources. Even when boiled, these waters are not to be consumed.** Bear with me, because I’m about to clear things up.

What you’ll need • a sealed water bottle or drinkable water and a bottle/container for it • the ability to access your desired water source • your intent(s) for this charged water …And that’s about it! Method • Allow your closed/seal container of water to come in contact with the water or submerge if safe/possible. Hold it (or secure steadily) and don’t leave it unattended, lest it become another piece of litter. • Leave it exposed to water or submerged until it feels right to you, or for as long as you are able to. • Pro tip: Consider how the type of natural water you chose will add to your charged water. Does it softly brush the lake shore, crash down into waves, cascade in endless river rapids, or flow slow & steady? Is it saltwater or freshwater? The clearer your intent, the more you benefit. Do this charging method in the day to harness the sun’s power, or at night to harness the moon’s power. Draw or place a sigil or rune on the container if you wish.

Ta daaa! You got yourself some naturally charged water that is perfectly safe to consume. This should go without saying, but don’t consume the water if your bottle or its seal is compromised.

I devised this method because it is either free or relatively cheap for most people.

**I know there are natural sources of running water that are perfectly safe to drink from, in which case, by all means, consume way! Do not consume rain water and please don’t consider consuming natural waters unless you’re certain of the purity. It’s not another’s job to figure out what’s safe for us. Use common sense and research everything! Don’t rely on others to tell you what is and isn’t safe.

🌿Plant Spirit Devotion: Herbal Altars

So this is alittle unorthodox but I've been keeping/tending an Altar specifically for my current Herbal Ally, atleast for the duration of my active devotional to that Plant Spirit (my post about Plant Spirit Devotionals). Currently my altar is set up for Rosemary pictured below. The Purpose of these altars is not to worship or revere the Spirit in the same way that my Persephone Altar exists to venerate the goddess. In my mind a Herbal Altar exists as a dedicated space for the spirit which acts as a reminder of the spirit throughout the day, while the aromatics of the Herbs themselves and the general energy of the Plant is allowed to suffuse the area.

My Rosemary Altar pictured above contains the following:

Fresh Rosemary: Personally I think the most important thing on a Herbal Altar should be the plant itself, ideally a living plant but when that is unavailable the best alternative is fresh plant matter.

Dried Rosemary: Failing fresh plant matter, dried herbs can work just as well.

Rosemary Essential Oil: An essential oil or similar product made using the plant represents the myriad forms the Herbal Ally can take in your Practice.

A Herbal Flash card for Rosemary: This card not only has beautiful artwork depicting the Herb but on the opposite side contains information revolving around Rosemary's mundane and magical properties allow with a short botanical dossier. This is a representation of the Plants properties and what you can learn from it.

An associated Tarot/Oracle card: In My case I like to have a representative Tarot card for my Herbal Allies, I use the Bottanical Deck by Jessica Bott which happens to have a Card for Rosemary.

A tea light candle dressed in Rosemary oil and dried Rosemary: A representative of the Herb role in rituals, and in my broader practice. I plan on burning this on the last day of my devotional.

You don't need to do anything to be a witch. Being a witch goes beyond the superficial images on social media. It's a profound journey of self-discovery, a daily fight to become who you aspire to be. It's about forging connections with yourself and the Earth, cherishing the blessings it offers and the abundance of resources it gives you.. Witchcraft is finding your community and caring for it while prioritizing self-care. No one has the right to define your journey; it's a deeply personal exploration filled with passion and purpose. That's your journey for you to decide.

🌿Plant Spirit Devotional: 15 Day Exercise

Here's my concept for a method to facilitate bonding with a Plant Spirit or Herbal Ally over the course of a month. Obviously this practice takes far longer than a month to create a lasting bond with a plant spirit but hopefully this exercise helps provide some structure to the practice of bonding with a Herbal Ally. Feel free to use this outline yourself or modify it to your own needs.

15 days of Plant Spirit Devotion. Day 1: Introduction to the chosen plant. Day 2: The plants native habitat. Day 3: Cultivation, Foraging and Preparation. Day 4: Mundane properties (Culinary, Medicinal, Poisons etc). Day 5: Art inspired by / incorporating the chosen plant. Day 6: Magical correspondences. Day 7: Folk names and their origins. Day 8: Folklore and associated myths. Day 9: Deity / Spirit associations. Day 10: Plant's role in ritual: Cultural and Spiritual Significance. Day 11: Tarot / Oracle associations: Card spotlights. Day 12: Personal Sigil for the Plant Spirit. Day 13: Current Relationship with the Plant Spirit. Day 14: Personal goals when working with the Spirit. Day 15: Exercise conclusion, Take-aways and final overview.

My current plan with this exercise is to complete it each month for a different plant spirit / herbal ally, starting with Rosemary during February. Generally my plan is to spend the first half of the month bonding with the herb and researching it and the latter half of the month completing this exercise.

This Exercise was inspired by this post: link by @noctivague about a 15 day deity devotional. Thanks for the amazing idea!
