Witchy Baths Masterpost

Here is a big masterpost of different types of baths for different types of witches! Use these baths before or after witchcraft to pump yourself up or to wind down. And you do not have to be any specific type of witch to use any of these baths. Any witch can use them.

Note: Many of these baths call for crystals. Research crystals before getting them wet. Many of them listed you should not put in water, instead keep them at the edge of your tub or near it.

Sea Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (1 tsp)

Sea Salt (½ tsp)

Coconut Oil (1 spoonful)

Coconut Water (½ cup)

Sea Glass, Sea shells, aquamarine, ocean jasper, abalone, pearl, larimar, coral, sand dollars and/or clear quartz

Wood Spoon

Blue and white candles (optional- ocean scented ones)

Steps: Light your candles before filling the tub. Once you start filling the tub add your coconut oil, coconut water, sea salt and kelp powder. With your spoon stir clockwise to help mix in the powder, which can take a bit. The water should turn a faint green tint (the more kelp you add the greener it gets but also the stronger the smell gets). Line your tub’s edge with your sea glass, sea shells, and gemstones. Be sure not to let the gemstones fall in the water, especially if they are ones that can’t get wet. Get into your tub and enjoy.

Note: Kelp powder smells very strongly of kelp, it is a scent I personally like but a lot of people don’t. Air out your bathroom a bit after the bath to disperse the smell. Also if you do not wish to smell like kelp yourself, rinse off after your bath quickly.

Swamp Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (2 spoonfuls)

Clay or Bath Mud like Moor Mud (read label for how much to use)

Green and brown candles

Wooden Spoon

Snail shells, alligator teeth, rounded rocks and any green gemstones you may have

Optional- Moss if you have potted moss to keep on the edge of the tub (or a moss bathmat)

Steps: Light your candles then begin to fill your tub. Add in your kelp powder and the mud, using your wooden spoon stir clockwise to mix. Depending on the type of mud/clay you are using the water will either turn very green to a dark brown. Line your tub with your gemstones, rocks, teeth and snail shells. If you are bringing in a moss plant or other plants keep them near the tub. Get into the tub and relax, if your moss is a stepable type of moss and in reach you can rub your fingers in it as you relax.

Note: Like the sea witch bath, you may want to air out the bathroom after your bath. This bath will smell much stronger of kelp and you may want to shower afterwards to avoid smelling strongly of kelp. You may have to rinse your tub to rid of mud used.

Forest Witch Bath

Pine Needles

Pinecones

Pine essential oil (2 drops)

3 bags of green or black tea

Green sachet

Mint

Cedar Chips

Green Candles (optional- tree or plant scented ones)

Steps: Light your candles and begin filling your tub. In you sachet add 1 part cedar chips and 1 part mint. Tie it shut and add to your bath as it fills. You may then add the pine needles to float freely or you may add them in a sachet as well. Add your two drops of pine oil once the tub is half filled to ensure it is well diluted in the bath. Add your tea bags into the water, line your tub with the pinecones and get in.

Note: essential oils can be harsh on certain skins, dilute the oil with a carrier oil and test on your skin to see if it affects you. If your skin is too sensitive for pine oil omit it from the spell.

🌟BEARBERRY (UVA URSI) - tea made from the leaves of this is said to aid in psychic ability and divination. Certain Native American tribes use the leaves, bark, and berries for various purposes!

📖 Ideas for Studying Tarot 📖

First of all, a quick reminder: you don’t need to know everything about tarot to start reading – in fact, it’s not necessary to memorize anything at all! It’s perfectly fine to look up interpretations as you read, and does not lessen the legitimacy of your practice in the slightest. 

Tarot isn’t a test you need to cram for, there’s no deadline to meet. What I love about tarot is that there is always more to learn and discover, both by researching the work of others and developing your own personal interpretations. Here are a few things I like to study order to develop a more nuanced, complex understanding of what each card means to me personally, and hopefully it provides inspiration for ways you can start or continue your tarot jourey! 

✨Key Words ✨

Without a doubt the most popular method of learning the cards, and with good reason! Learning the most basic, simplified meanings of the cards provides a great foundation to build more complex interpretations. 

✨Reversals ✨

A common misconception is that reversals always mean the opposite of the upright card definition, but this doesn’t need to be the case. Reversals can indicate delays, the card’s energy is being blocked, the energy is being taken too far or otherwise twisted, etc. 

✨Symbolism ✨  

What are astrological associations of the card? Numerological? What symbolism exists within the imagery of the card? What are the dominant colors in the image, what could those mean? If there are people in the card, how do you interpret their facial expressions and body language? 

✨Contexts ✨  

 What does the card mean in the context of love? Career? As a person? As feelings? As a situation, obstacle, opportunity, etc.?

✨Combinations ✨

What are some cards that echo or reinforce the card’s meaning, and how about some that typically contradict it? What might those powerful combinations suggest if they show up together in a reading?

✨Advice ✨  

What is the “lesson” of the card? What advice does it offer, what warnings does it hold? 

✨ Extremes ✨

What is the most positive interpretation of this card, and what is the most negative? 

✨ Quotes and Pop Culture ✨ 

What is a quote you associate with the card? How about a song/lyric, character, scene from a book/movie/etc.? How about people or situations from your own life?

✨ Preceding and Following Cards ✨

How does this card relate to the cards before and after it? What progress or development has happened in the card, and what still needs to happen? 

….and this is how I ended up with a Google Doc of my tarot research that’s 100+ pages and growing, haha!

Bedroom Witch Tips

🌿Herb sachets hung above your bed (request herb sachet recipes from me if you’re interested).

🌿Hang Dry herbs upside down in your bedroom (Lavender helps for anxiety and depression… it is very calming or Mugwort for dreams. Mugwort is very invasive, you can find it growing everywhere).

🌿Herbs placed inside your pillow sheet (I place Mugwort leaves inside to active lucid dreams).

🌿Setup an Altar near your bed: add elements of earth, fire, water and air. You can also use your windowsill as an altar.

🌿Place Black Tourmaline under your bed: shields you energetically by taking the electromagnetic frequencies, and instead of absorbing them, tourmaline changes, redirects, cleanses, and purifies the energy. This is how it handles negativity, even energies of psychic attack too!

🌿Place Sigil writings or powders for protection and restful beauty sleep under your mattress.

🌿Keep a dream journal under your pillow! Dreams can help us get a glimpse into our subconscious and the more dreams you write the easier it becomes for you to remember them.

🌿Unless you are allergic, sleep with the window halfway open or cracked to let good energy move around and circulate in your room and keep skin hydrated during the night.

🌿Drink herbal tea before bed each night. (Request free herbal tea recipes from me if interested) Mugwort tea is great to have in the evening before bed to reach high levels of lucid dreaming

🌿Smoking Herbs before bed is great as well. I recommend this book for further reading: Smoke Plants Of North America by M.R. Ross. (Request free Smoke Blend recipes from me if interested). With reverence, Rosemary Milk 🌹

hi babes, I’m back! wanted to make a quick post on my manifestation routine and some of the essential steps necessary for the law of attraction to be effective. for those of you who don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about, the loa states that our thoughts, beliefs, and intentions create our reality. there are various methods, of course, but this routine has worked beautifully for me! I’ve manifested an entire business, a dream job, $2k in 24hours, my soul family, & so much more! let’s jump into this shit! 

1. get in a high vibrational state of being! what does this mean? it means focus on eliciting positive emotions and feelings at the start of this process. when we raise our vibration, shift our mood, we’re more in alignment with what we desire. in a high vibrational state, you’ll feel bubbly, happy, and excited! do anything that you can to achieve a higher vibration! listen to music, watch some R.IP vine compilations on youtube, dance around your room, etc. do whatever the fuck you gotta do. struggling with depression or anxiety? it’s okay! this state only has to be maintained for a couple of minutes for it to be effective. 

2. set your intention! what are you trying to bring into your life? to set your intention, all you have to do is write it or speak it out loud. pro tip: instead of saying ‘I want to manifest xyz’, say ‘I am ready to receive xyz’. the word ‘want’ creates more lack and will keep you in a state of ‘wanting’. another ex: “I am manifesting my perfect partner” vs. “I am going to manifest my perfect partner. 

3. visualize your desire manifesting. this is the fun part! vividly imagine and feel what it would be like to hold the desired amount of cash in your hand. what emotions would you feel if you were given what you asked for? being able to truly envision having your desire is going to make it a reality in your mind and put you in alignment to receive it in the physical.

4. detach from the outcome. definitely the part that everyone fucking hates. it’s important to let go of any attachment and trust that the universe will deliver what it is that you’ve asked for. surrender and allow it to unfold. don’t stress about when, where, or how it will manifest. just trust that it will happen. this is the one area where most people get stuck!

5. act as if you already have what you desire. this is also a pretty fun part! how would you feel if you had everything that you wanted? probably pretty fucking fantastic. acting as if sends a message to the universe that you are ready. 

6. & finally, take action! sometimes the universe will just drop blessings right in front of us, yes, but not always. you’re probably not going to find the love of your life if you spend all day in your house. you’re not going to become a famous actress if you don’t get up and audition! the universe can do so much for us but we also need to work with it. don’t just wait around for something to happen. search and be open to receiving the opportunities that you ask for. 

THANKS, THAT’S ALL I GOT FOR YOU BBYS !! hit me up with any questions and reblog with your manifestation tips or stories! share the good vibes. 💖💖

Visualize yourself with this desire! Such an important one but often overlooked because it sounds funny or unnecessary! If you can see yourself with this thing you want, physically, see yourself this way with your desire, the universe will make it so! Imagine how it would be to have your dream job or dream car or dream lover/spouse. Imagine how it would feel. Let yourself be enveloped by the feelings of having it! You have it. It’s yours. It’s your birthright to have what you desire. When you imagine it, you see it. When you see it, you believe it. When you believe it, it happens!

“so what do death witches do?”

good question!

before i jump in, i wanna emphasize that there’s no right or wrong way to do death work. i know i’ve struggled for a long time with the idea that i’m not “witchy enough” or don’t spend enough time with the craft, so don’t take this as any sort of shaming of your practice or the time you spend with it! this is just what works for me.

that said…

we do a lot of things!

ancestor work

spirit communication

divination

comforting the living left behind

attending to the dead, emotionally or physically (as in mortuary workers)

work with cycles of change

healing

shadow work

lots more!!!

if you’re interested in anything specific that i listed, let me know and i’ll work on a separate post about it!

here’s a rundown of how i incorporate these things into my life:

ancestor work is my primary practice. i honor long-gone ancestors, but also close relatives who have died. “honor” can look very different for many people, as can “work,” but i do things like tend to my grandparents’ grave, talk to my ancestors about what’s going on in the world they’ve left behind, and petition them for favors.

to attend to the dead, i tend other graves in the cemetery. 

this story is of those moments where i’m like “wow, willow, how did you not know you were a witch” – when i was first driving and spent a lot of time with my grandparents’ grave (moment 1), i had a strong affection for another grave of someone unrelated to me and would regularly tend to it and place flowers on it, despite not knowing them, because it was regularly unattended and i felt that he deserved the comfort of being cared for (moment 2).

other death witches attend to the dead by working in mortuary sciences!! a great book on this topic is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, by Caitlin Doughty, about facing her fear of death by working in a crematorium.

now, shadow work is one of my favorite topics. essentially, you work with the darkest parts of yourself to integrate yourself as a whole person by facing what you fear about yourself. this can be done through divination but also with self-reflection, journaling, and mindfulness.

divination itself is one of the oldest ways i’ve practiced witchcraft. i’ve been reading the tarot cards for 10 years now and also dabble in pendulums, oracles, shufflemancy, osteomancy, curio casting, and tons of other forms. in death work, divination can be a form of spirit communication, where you speak to spirits of the dead or other types of spirits, or it can be fortune-telling, self-reflection, and many other things.

some people think healing is strictly the place of green witches or light workers, but you can’t have light without shadow. for example, many witches think of Hades as just a “death deity,” without recognizing how He can be a healing force by helping us reckon with our fear of death and knowing when it’s our time. it’s also working with the cycles of change.

other cycles of change include observing the wheel of the year, or my personal take, observing the local changes of season. i have my own associations and my own calendar related to the midwest climate, but practicing the wheel of the year is an excellent way to tap into general seasonal shifts and have a community to help!

finally, comforting the living left behind is one that many people practice without realizing it’s a form of death magic. not only are you honoring the deceased by helping their loved ones, but you’re helping create change, or death of the old, within the living.

i hope this helps any budding death witches! ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿

Don’t forget...

Everyone has bad days, even witches. And it is on these bad days that we find it hardest to remember those things that are fundamental about ourselves. 

So if you are having a bad day, take a moment to remember these things: 

You are cosmic. Literally. You are made from stardust that has comes millions of miles, over billions of years, to be collected and made into you. You are part of the universe, made from the universe and belong in the universe.

You are powerful. As a witch, in some form or another you have take up the belief that you can influence the energies and outcomes around you. And that takes an extraordinary amount of power. In doing this, you are pulling on the strings of the web that binds all of existence. This is no easy feat, and yet you are capable of this. As such, you recognise and have access to power within yourself that many only dream of getting their hands on. 

You are wise. You know things that others don’t and see things in ways others can’t. You have the wisdom of a thousand years of ancestors coursing through you at any given moment, even if you don’t feel like you do. You know what to look for in the night sky, what plants to use to calm or excite, you know what stones enhance and blunt the power of the psyche. 

You are unique. Of course, everyone is unique. And within the realm of witchcraft we can see this more starkly than anywhere else. Even if you belong to a coven, the practices and beliefs within that coven will be unique and individual to each witch. On a wider scale, you are unique because you can think for yourself, chose for yourself and know yourself in a way that others simply can’ access by virtue of the fact that you chose your path. You thought about it and decided it was right for you. You initiated yourself, you learned for yourself and you will continue to learn for yourself. You have the ability to choose, without being pushed. 

You are not alone. There is an entire community of individuals out there who you can connect with and talk to. They just take a bit of seeking out, but once you have found them, they’ll be there, as they will understand your struggles and triumphs to a much greater degree than others. 

You are loved. You are loved by your community, your deity and the wider cosmos. You are loved because, in these places, to these beings, you are important and valued. 

I know that in hard times, these things are difficult to remember, but you are a witch! Witches have undergone hard times and come out fighting. Witches are built for bad times, ready to do battle with these dark days, and more capable than any other, of bringing back the light. We are powerful, capable, awesome beings, with an answer for almost anything.   So, when you’re having a bad day, first thing to remember is that you are a witch.

Dream work tipz from my experience

if you’re practicing lucid dreaming it helps to find one method that you like and repeat it over and over again instead of jumping from one technique to the next

You know the meaning of your dreams better than anybody else can

If you have to overanalyze them and really dig for meaning they’re probably not that significant. If they mean something it should be readily apparent and kind of jump out at you

Not every dream means something

Not every intense or emotional dream means something

Not every dream means something spiritual, but can still be indicative of psychological things

If you’re having frequent nightmares it helps to address the underlying issues. Like if you have nightmares about public humiliation frequently, you probably have a confidence issue and should work on boosting self esteem.

Subtlety is key. This is really hard for me to articulate but the dream world™️ kind of has its own rules and it helps to play by them and not go and change things drastically. Kind of like Inception.

You can work through trauma and other problems in dreams

Practice.

Grimoire tip

Put your name and contact details inside the front cover of any and all of your grimoires/Journals. I tend to add “Will happily give reward for return if lost!”

I take mine with me places quite often and left it at a cafe recently. Was distraught when it was missing from my bag because I’d been multiple places and would need to figure out where the most likely place I left it was. Lo and behold I got a call about 10 minutes later from an incredibly lovely woman who’d found it under her coffee table where it had fallen from my bag. She asked if her reward could be me shouting her a coffee. I happily obliged and joined her for a chat. It’s the first time I’ve ever misplaced one of my books, ever. Was so relieved to have it returned safe and sound.
