**you can toss this in the bath itself or light it and let it smoke out while you bathe or you could even wave it over yourself in the tub for the effects, your call

-

[ now what? ]

light up your candle(s) and arrange your crystals around the bath accordingly, add everything into the bath water itself that you’ll be adding, and if you’re using the epsom salts make sure you use the right amount to actually get the detox benefits! i recommend letting the candle light be the only thing lighting up the bathroom but ofc that’s not necessary if you can’t/it spooks you out

-

really hope everyone enjoys this bath spell! i’m definitely gonna be getting lots of use out of this one, of course as always feel free to ask any questions about the spell/process!

Hagging Out July 2021

First let me say I genuinely hope no one was expecting a postapaloosa from me this month, because well, it is not coming. I only managed so-so with the theme and only have pics of finished products, rather than a step by step and no actual full ritual, because I did not finish it yet :(

This month I have decided to perfect the art of making herb bundles for smoke cleansing. The problem I have faced before was never being able to get the bundles tight enough when the herbage is still fresh, causing the bundles to be very loose. On How-To pages etc., they usually tell you to just rewrap them once in a while, but as the herbs dry, they begin to crumble and it is just not right. 

So I got an idea. After leaving them hung upside down for a day, to let them wilt a bit, I made the bundles and tightened them all around by using a paper towel and tied them on the outside. I left them to dry like this hanging for about a week, before unbundling them and rewrapping them with the final cord and tightening them some more. 

I am very pleased with the results :)

I made four kinds of sticks, but since this months theme is purification, I’d like to talk a little bit more about two of the herbs I have chosen:

Mugwort and St.John’s wort.

I know St.John is not typically considered a cleansing herb, but hear me out. 

In a couple of days, I am turning 32 and I thought putting together a purification ritual (which was originally supposed to be a part of this post) before then would be nice. 

I’d use mugwort for a general cleansing, both of my person and of my apartment, from all the shit that has piled up in the last year (and on top of the pandemic, there was ALOT). Mugwort is a wonderful herb in my opinion, being not only a great ally in all things divinatory, feminine mystery-wise and so on, but above all a great cleanser of all residual human stuff that one may carry of their shoulders or have lurking around their space. 

Saint John’s wort on the other hand, is a very Solar and Martial herb and the second part of my cleansing will go along the route of the Sun casting away shadows, bringing light into a somewhat darkened life, while at the same time fighting some personal stuff away and healing old wounds. On top of that, in the for of tea it’s a great mood stabilizer :) 

For that purpose I chose to prep it three ways:

Incense stick (cleansing)

Blood of Saint John Oil (healing)

Dried herbage (harmony, balance)

Lughnasadh themed smoke cleansing bundles:

Mint- Prosperity and Success and I love how well it cleanses negativity.

Rosemary- Rememberance and solar energy

Corn Husk- leftovers from crafts with the kids, protection, insight, abundance, and stability.

Yellow Rose- joy, solar energy, good luck, friendship and well being.

Sunflower- solar energy (Helios specifically), longevity, faithfulness, the search for truth.

China Rose- Energy, joy, positivity, vitality.

Cattail- Peace, harmony, because they can be used like torches when soaked in oil I also associate them with light and hope.

Gathered ingredients today to make these small herb bundles for smoke cleansing

[tea-rabbits]

Read this book today and it has some awesome ideas for spell-specific herb bundles.

However…. I’m not sure how to buy the herbs I am not able to grow in my garden? Like, I can buy them in ground-form for tea, but how do I get a sprig of yarrow or a handful of eucalyptus branches??

If you have advise, let me know!!
