Not a damn thing. Don’t douche.

Protection spell for people you don't want in your life anymore

The bond that we had

Shall forever be broken

No words

good or bad

Shall ever be spoken

They will be gone

And so will guilt and pain

So shall it ever remain

Powerful Self Cleansing Ritual

This is a very powerful ritual which calls upon elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Great for when you need to cleanse your mind and body from painful memories, experiences or just need to clear your mind due to excessive anxiety, depression etc! A large part of this ritual is fine-tuning your focus and become sensitive to the energies radiating from the elements that you come in contact with throughout this spell. 

First call upon element of Earth by acquiring a smudging stick, or any combination of cleansing herbs in a fireproof bowl (good ones are sage and rosemary, and thyme make sure they are dry or they may not light on fire). Smell the herbs and hold them in your hands whilst envisioning the power and energy of the Earth.  Repeat the following incantation: 

“Element of Earth, I invoke thee 

Cleanse my mind and body of all negativity”

Next light your herbs or smudging stick on fire and wave it around your body from the top of your head, down to your feet completely cover yourself in the smoke. As you watch the embers envision the powers of fire and feel the energy radiating from the embers and flames. As you wave the smoke around your body repeat the following:

“Element of fire, I invoke thee,

cleanse my mind and body of all negativity” 

As you breathe in the smoke of the herbs, focus on the element of air. Envision that which each breath you take you are inhaling positive energy and exhaling negative reaffirm this aloud as you say:

“Element of Air, I invoke thee,

As I exhale, carry away the negative energies that reside in my body

As I inhale, bring positive energies into my body”

Make sure to take big deep breaths as you repeat the incantation, picturing the energies flowing in and out of your lungs.

Lastly, the element of water. I find this to be one of the most powerful aspects of the spell and should be done LAST. Get to a body of water that you can rinse yourself in, stand in, splash in, whatever. A simple bowl of water will not be as powerful opposed to this method. I decided to take a shower (because it was convenient lol) you can feel free to run a bath if you like. Visiting a stream or river is obviously ideal but it is really the intent here that matters. Stand in the water and wash yourself whilst repeating:

“Element of water, I invoke thee,

May the water rushing over my skin carry (bad energies, and painful 

memories, pain, whatever it is you wish to focus on) away

Close your cleansing ritual by thanking each of the elements aloud.

Mint: Remedy for all sorts of digestive distress, soothing the muscles.

LOW SPOON SELF CLEANSING

This is by far the best method I have found for self cleansing as someone who suffers with mental illnesses and disorders. All it takes is the spoons to shower to do an entire self cleanse. The intent is already in the soap you make for your specific needs.

This Is also PERFECT for closeted witches!Glycerin soaps are really good for sensitive skins! It’s actually better for babies than the soaps you buy because it is pure and not hard milled so it doesn’t cause excess drying of your skin or leave soap residue on you. That alone is a good reason to try making it yourself. And it’s hobby lots of people have. You could easily mask it as another if your “I saw this on Pinterest and now I’m Martha Stewart” projects. Makes for great useful gifts too!

What you need:

Glycerin

Silicone molds

Herb/oil/flower/crystal(s) of choice

*

Directions:

Cut the glycerin soap into pieces to melt easier. Melt according to the directions on the package.

Slowly add in the essential oils or other oils of choice. *Oil Ratios: for essential oils use a 5 drop per ounce of soap. For any kind of other oil, such as coconut palm or olive oil, use 1 teaspoon of the oil or butters to each pound of soap.

Stir gently and slowly to prevent bubbles from forming. Gently rap the jar or container on the countertop to release any larger trapped air bubbles. Tip: spritz the top with rubbing alcohol to pop remaining bubbles.

Place the dried flowers or herbs into the mold before carefully pouring the melted soap base into them.

Plop in your crystal of choice. DO NOT USE CRYSTAL PIECES. THE SMALL SHARDS WILL SCRATCH UP YOUR SKIN AND ARE NOT BIODEGRADABLE IF THEY WASH DOWN THE DRAIN.

Let cool completely for about 1 hour. If they still don’t feel completely solid, leave them out until they are.

Pop out of the molds and package in plastic wrap or freezer paper (I like that because you can mark them that way) and store in an airtight container.

Note: Herbal products are made of natural ingredients! This means that the flower petals and herbs dried or not will go moldy.

But the shelf life if made correctly is usually several months. Calendula petals and safflower petals are the two main ones that won’t turn.

Lots of botanicals will soap completely brown over time, which personally doesn’t bother me because it’s just how its just cosmetic and it works just the same. But if you’re giving them as a gift or selling them you may want to exchange those ingredients for some kind of faux petal/ herb combo. They will last a bit longer but eventually the soap will discolor.

Pro tip: purchase “suspension formula” soap base. Your soaps will be less runny and will hold things in place much better.

Happy crafting!

do you have any suggestions for shower cleansing rituals? what you just posted about sounds like exactly what I need

Oh yes! I have some suggestions for you! First i’d suggest making this into a weekly sorta of thing I’d do it at the end of the week just before a new week begins. For me normally that’d be Sunday but my witchy intuition made me do it today without even realizing it (which means I really needed it). So I am calling this a ritual cause its sorta long I would plan your whole evening around this and self care.

Start by cleaning and cleansing your room. These seems annoying but really where do we go to rest after a long day? I know for me its my bedroom. The room collects all that negative and draining energy so coming back after your nice cleansing shower into a room with stale energy won’t help. Pick up whatever mess you have, do some laundry then follow up with a quick cleansing. For me I turned on my air diffuser that had some lavender essential oil and whispered to my diffuser to chase out any negative energy. OH and change your bedsheets to clean ones so you’re bed is cleansed too.

Grab a clean towel and head to the shower. It’s important to do your full shower. Some days I won’t shave or exfoliate or wash my hair. When you’re doing a cleansing you should do your full shower for full cleansing from head to toe.

I started with washing my hair (I like to leave my conditioner sitting on my hair during my entire shower). I began by asking my shampoo to clean my hair and to remove and negativity or illness clinging to me then i scrubbed my hair imagine black sort of slime just falling into the water and down the drain away from me and to be neutralized by the earth.  

Then I asked my conditioner to help strengthen and revitalize me (I like to kiss the bottles or hug them when I asked them for help. The i rub that in my hair and let it sit for the rest of my shower so it can soak in.

Now wash your body with your favorite soap and imagine more black slime coming off of you and going down the drain. As you wash imagine that underneath the black you are shining golden like a star. You want all of you to shine gold by the end of your shower. So shave and as you shave more gold is revealed (if you don’t shave, then skip that its not necessary i just like to shave). The exfoliate so that you’re taking off the dead skin and as you do that more gold is revealed you should be shining really bright right now. All of you should be golden and gleaming. Rinse off any soap and your conditioner and then wash and exfoliate your face. 

Now at the end of your shower thank the water for helping you be cleansed and rejuvenated. Then just stand in the shower for a moment reveling in your own golden light. Remind yourself you are rested and full of energy and that you are a beautiful golden star.

Now do your after shower routine. Put a gentle moisturizer on my face ( I used a rose facial oil and asked it to fill me with love and kindness for myself and others) then put product in your hair and lotion on your body. As you do this tell your body you are sorry for mistreating it. You want to be your body friend’s now. Recognize and tell your body thank you for everything its done for you. Tell your body you love it and are going to do your best to take care of it now. You will be gentle with it and speak to it with kindness and love (I put on a rose lip balm when I said the last part)

I finished with a gentle stretch and prayer thanking my God for all He has done for me and to fill me with His love and strength so that others can recognize him through me. If you are secular simply use this time to be grateful in all that you have and all that you have done. There is no need to involve a god if you don’t work with any deities. simply be in the moment and enjoy the stretch.

Use the rest of the night to relax and practice self care. I’ll be meditating later today and going to sleep hopefully early!

I am sorry this is so long but I hope it helps you! Sending love your way <3

When and how often should a spirit worker/witch cleanse themselves?? I cleanse my space of negative/icky energies pretty often, especially with the help of some of my companions, but I don't really cleanse myself? And I was wondering how to go about that

Hey there!

However often you feel you need to self cleanse, tbh. There isn’t any point to cleansing if you don’t feel it’s necessary, or there are no gross residual energies you need to be rid of. This post, [Do I Need to Cleanse?], should help you figure stuff out.

Maybe cleanse yourself as often as you do your personal spaces, or even while you do so? Depending on how you cleanse your space, you may be able to do a self cleansing at the same time, with the same method you use on your space.

Some simple ways you can cleanse yourself:

waft the smoke of a burning herb around yourself

alternatively, swirling incense smoke from a cleansing incense around yourself works just as well

visualize a bright cleansing light (in the color of your choice) surrounding you, glowing from inside your body and out, purifying any negativity

stand outside during a fresh rain

allow a strong breeze or wind to cleanse you

enchant your favorite shampoo or body wash

this can be done by surrounding it with candles, crystals, or drawing sigils upon the bottle

have a salt water / epsom salt bath

additional herbs can be added to the bath, while candles and crystals can line the edge of the tub for a boost

if you don’t have a bath tub, the salt and/or herbs can be tied up into a coffee filters and hung from the shower head

you can simply remove the negative energy from yourself with energy work - pushing it out of your body

alternatively, you can [transmute it]
