🌿Spring Glamour Shower Spell🌻

A perfect spring glamour spell for my fellow i-don’t-have-a-bathtub witches.

 Recommended to cast during: Waxing Moon - Full Moon 

 Needed: 

🌸 Fresh or dried flowers. (PLEASE, for safety reasons, do not use poisonous flowers.)

Bonus: Pick flowers that are significant to you in a positive way. Magickal correspondence wouldn’t matter for this spell since this is something for yourself. 

🌼 Clear shower gel that has a pleasant scent for you (The flowers look hella beautiful in it)

🌸 Music that makes you feel sexy and beautiful. 

 To Cast….

🌸 Carefully place the petals inside your shower gel bottle and chant: 

 Beautiful spring blooms I see, 

 Beautiful flower I shall be. 

 🌼Play your beautifying music and prepare to take a shower. 

 🌸Clean whatever it is you need to clean and leave the shower gel last. 

 🌼 When you’re done cleaning yourself, apply the gel and be immersed. 

 🌸 Rinse after.

Self Care Magic

✨Drinking iced raspberry tea infused with rose petals, or a pumpkin spice latte for the cinnamon allspice and clove but also just because you really like it

✨Power songs played during the morning commute and singing as loud as you can without worrying about other drivers seeing you, getting yourself fired up for the day

✨Banishing spells cast on toxic lovers and friends, because even though it hurts to let them go it also feels freeing as hell

✨Self cleansing rituals that make you feel recharged, whether it be fancy ritual baths, or that good smelling face wash that you use every morning

✨Wrapping yourself in the love of friends and family deity when you’re not feeling up to it yourself, they will love you no matter what so relying on them is okay and good

✨Going to a secret spot to be alone, or to watch the world go by and just be still, from a secret pond miles into the forest, to the quiet spot by the window in your favorite cafe

✨Protection spells cast before going out drinking and dancing to keep off the creeps and their unwanted advances, because you just wanna dance and that’s the last thing you need

Leave offerings for the moon 

Cleanse any tools, crystals, or other witchy items 

Cleanse yourself in the bath or shower - visualize any negative energy being washed down the drain (using soaps, shower gels, or bath oils that consist of scents like citrus, lavender, lemongrass, or anything else you associate with cleansing)

Cleanse your home

Put up new wards or renew wards that are currently in place

Take a ritual bath using herbs and oils that represent the moon (jasmine, lemon, sandalwood, honeysuckle, for example)

[brookethehedge]

Ritual Cleansing Bath

1 c raw honey (To help draw in divine energy) 2 c whole milk (To summon protection) 2 bags chamomile tea (To aid relaxation/heighten receptiveness) 2 tsp lavender essential oil (Aids in opening one to the messages of the divine) Rose petals (attracts healing and understanding)

Preperation

-Bring 1 cup of water to boil and mix in honey until fully dissolved -Take off heat and steep tea for 5 minutes -Add milk and lavender oil -Fill tub with hot water ((but not too hot that it’s uncomfortable)) and add mixture and Rose petals -Relax in water for at least a half hour. Play soft music and light candles if you wish

Notes

This mixture isn’t just good for cleansing your mind and soul. Each part of it also has healing aspects. The mixtures can help calm an anxious mind, relieve muscle aches, and detox the body. You can also add Epsom salt to help with an achy body 

I use this bath before trying to connect to the gods and it helps me a lot. Sometimes I will add some element representative of the god I wish to connect too such as a coin for Hermes or my pendulum set on the bath edge for Apollon and so on

a bit of celestial bath magic~ ☄️ 

☄️ for this ritual, gather a bath bomb, some sea shells, and a blue candle. 

☄️ light the candle, arrange the seashells around the edge of the bath, or in the bath. if they’re in the water with you, be very careful not to hurt yourself on them

☄️ optional, evoke aphrodite and ask for her influence to fill your life 🐚

☄️ evoke the power and influence of the planet venus ♀️

☄️ wash the old energies away

☄️ add the bath bomb, soak in the tub and bring in new, calm energies

(O) Aang’s Revival (O)

*A Ritual Bath/ Shower and Meditation based on Aang returning from being frozen in the iceberg to restore and refresh yourself*

Ritual Bath/ Shower

What You Need

A couple calming songs

Your favorite scent of soap (bar or gel, doesn’t matter)

If you can, get a shower disk or bath bomb or loose herbs. (Things like lavender, basil, chamomile, lemon balm or green tea are good for cleansing and refreshing.) *MAKE SURE YOU AREN’T ALLERGIC AND THAT THE HERBS YOU”RE USING ARE SAFE*

A blue candle (wisdom, calm, protection)

A white candle (healing, purification)

What To Do

Turn on the music, light the candles. Start with colder water (as cold as you can comfortably start with) and let the water wash over you. As this is happening, the chill that you feel, visualize it solidifying around you. Everything you are, mind, body and soul, visualize it encased in that cold, as if it were a giant sphere of ice. 

Say “Rest now weary soul, in cold water deep. Dream of a better tomorrow, in your needed sleep.”

Now, turn the water temperature up. Hot, but not so hot as to burn yourself. Add the herbs, and wash yourself at this point. Relax. Be at ease. Let the warmth slowly take over your entire body. Imagine that sphere of ice melting away, as it does, and as you wash yourself, imagine the negativity, anger, sadness, anything that you no longer wish to feel, being washed away. 

Say “I rise above the water’s tides, and I no longer wish to hide. As warmth returns to my bones, I am revived and I am reborn. The troubles of the past rinse away, and I will be refreshed today.”

Continue washing yourself and when you are done, simply relax and enjoy the warm water and cleanliness. Once you feel ready, get out and put on comfortable clothes to prepare for the meditation.

Meditation

What You Need

The same candles from the shower, serving the same purposes.

Natural light if you can, and fresh air, if it’s warm enough out to be outside or sit in a room with open windows

Sage incense for clarity

More of the calming music if it helps you meditate

What To Do

Get comfortable, breathe slow and even.

Close your eyes. The darkness around you is not scary or oppressive. It is safe and warm. At the center of the this darkness is an orb of light. 

You realize, you are at the center of that light, encased in that orb, protectively. 

This you within the light is the you with the potential for growth and change. The clean slate of yourself that is ready to become more than you were before. 

Slowly, with every breath, the orb rises through the surrounding darkness, which is still neither scary nor oppressive, it simply is. You are safe within the orb of light. As it rises, you realize it is rising toward the surface of the darkness.

As the orb finally breaks through the surface of the vast ocean of darkness, the orb becomes solid, as if made of glass or ice. You are still safe and you are now warmer, as the light from above joins the light emanating from within the orb, from within you. 

Open your eyes. Reach out, touch the orb/ bubble that surrounds you. As you touch it, it pops, bursting into a thousand tiny diamond droplets, each reflecting the light from you and the sun in a brilliant rainbow all around you. 

Breathe in the fresh air. Feel the warmth of the light on your skin. You are free of the troubles of the past. You are refreshed and reborn. You can become anything you wish. 

It is done.

-This is an adaptation of one of my personal meditations for renewal and refreshing. A meditation to leave behind the old, accepting what was and is, and move forward into the future knowing we are capable of anything-

Good Luck and Happy Casting Witches!

Were Viking warriors ever ashamed of their scars?

No.

They were proud of them, because it meant that they had survived.

So remember that when you mess up, and you get hurt, and you find yourself scarred do not ever ever be ashamed.

If you fought and survived you have a right to be proud.

Love your scars. Honor the pain you’ve endured, and know that you deserve joy.
