This is a little spell I came up with intuitively with what I had lying around.
White candle (tea light is best. You’ll need one that can float)
Aquamarine (multiple pieces) *the idea here is to surround yourself in a certain energy. Aquamarine just makes me feel connected to the sea. This can be changed subjective to the witch. Any crystal you have a lot of/feel strongly connected to, you can use. As long as it holds positive, peaceful meaning to you.
Plenty of sea shells (to be placed around the bath. Have them in a container beforehand)
Sea Salt/Pink salt/Regular salt (whatever you have access to)
Your favourite incense (optional)
Extra candles for a relaxing affect, calming music (optional)
Some Optional tips I thought worth mentioning:
My sea deity is Yemaya. I always ask for her blessing during bath rites and spells. For this, I light a blue candle and evoke her energy. You can do this with this spell with whichever deity/sea deity you connect to.
For me, to really feel the peaceful affects of this spell, I do a little meditation. And yes, in the bath tub. Now, a word of caution! I can easily stay meditative in the tub, because: A) I am hella tall! my legs stop me from sinking downward when I’m relaxing. B) I am able to stay conscious of my body, and comfortable enough that I can meditate in the bath and still stay awake. So please, be very careful if you wish to meditate in the bath! Now, the meditation I like to do is just to close my eyes for a few minutes and imagine myself at the beach, swimming (as a merman through the reef), being on the beach during a sunset. Whatever I feel will help me feel internally peaceful.
Add some essential oils. I, unfortunately, have two. Yes, TWO. Lavender (which I use to help me sleep) and Rosemary, for multi usage. Oil is expensive in the suburbs D:
The incantations used below can be altered to your liking. I thought they’d be useful, as they rhyme and I find that rhyming spells are much easier to remember and say as you visualise.
Feel free to add any bubble baths, bath bombs, bubble bars etc. Whatever’s gonna add to the energy of the sea for you, to relax you!
Let’s get down to bathing!
Preferably, I like to sink myself before this spell. (Sinking is the alternative to grounding, connecting to the ocean’s energies) So, if you feel you need to take in some energy and cleanse your internal flow, do so now.
In a bowl or container, have the aquamarine (or crystals of preference) and seashells. Visualise any colour energy flowing into the objects from you, place your hand over the bowl. Empower them, send them energy, as you say:
“Healing Power of the sea, I call upon thee,
give these shells and stones your strength,
to surround me in light and peace”
Have the sea salt in a bowl/container. Again, empower the sea salt. Say:
“Healing powers of the sea,
peace, healing and purification is given from thee.
Blessed sea salt, bring me peace,
And as I bathe, set me free.
Heal me well and good,
Take away that which makes me feel stuck!”
Run your bath, add your sea salt to the water. Visualise the salt adding cleansing and healing properties to the water as you pour/sprinkle it in.
Take the t-light, hold it in your power/dominant hand, send white light into it and say:
“White light of flame and moon,
Shine around me now,
to instil the peace that will ensue!”
Place it in the bowl of moon water, light the candle. Visualise the light is releasing the soothing energy of the moon around you, through the candle.
Place the shells, stones, candle, extras etc around the bathtub on the rim. Play some nice, chilled music. Maybe some ocean sounds or, if you’d like a suggestion, I love Eivor. She’s an amazing artist with a beautiful voice!
Relax and enjoy. You could even empower your favourite incense to bring you comfort, peace, calm etc as it burns whilst you’re near it.
I hope this is helpful! Being a landlocked sea witch, bath magick is my go-to to feel relaxed and connected to the ocean. Also I like to meditate on the sea’s energy and surround myself with ocean imagery. Happy bathing! <3
