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)

Add your tea bags into the water, line your tub with the pinecones and get in.

To Rid Yourself of an Unwanted Admirer or Ex-Lover Who Will Not Take No for an Answer

You will need:

A gray candle and a white candle close together

Timing:

Three nights, beginning on Saturday

The Spell:

Light the gray candle for yourself and say: "No more notice me. I am free, surrounded by the mists of invisibility."

Move the unlit white candle away from yours, saying: "No longer desire me or seek connection. My rejection though kindly is clear. Find love and life new, the binding is through, and you shall no longer be near."

Blow out the candle.

On night too, light the gray candle, repeat the first words, and moved the unlit white candle farther away from yours, repeating the second words.

Again blow out the candle.

On night 3, move the unlit white candle as far away as possible from yours, saying: "Follow your own path in joy; no longer walk along mine."

Like the white candle and let it burn through and then like the gray candle, saying: "May the mists of invisibility remain between us perpetually as you go your way and I mine."

Extinguish the gray candle and dispose of it and any wax from the white candle.

🌙🔮💔

For Cutting the Ties of a Destructive Relationship or One That is Going Nowhere

You will need:

A dark blue pillar candle

A length of thin red curtain cord or strong thread

A container of soil

Timing:

Saturday after dark

The Spell:

Light the candle and say: "By the power of fire, I am set free."

Tie a knot in the center of the cord and say: "Tie and wind and seek to find freedom from [name the destructive person or situation]."

Hold the knot over the flame with the cord taught in both hands.

Say: "The cord between us was long. The cord between us was strong. But now it is decaying, fraying, burning, breaking."

Drop both burned halves into the pot of soil, letting the flame burn out, saying: "The link is broken, and I am free."

Bury the charred cords where nothing grows, still in the soil from the spell.

🌙🔮💔

A Hand-Parting Spell

You will need:

A dark red cord about 3 to 6 and 1/2 yards long

A tree

Timing:

The hour before sunset

The Spell:

Wind the cord around a tree nine times, securing it with a very loose not, looping the over other end over your hands.

Slowly unwind the cord from the tree, moving in circles farther and farther from the tether, chanting: "Hand part, my heart; hand fast, not last; let go, unwind, unbind, untie, release, too tight bonds now must cease."

With a final tug, pull the knot free, unloop your hands, and as you do so, say: "Unbound, unwound, hand parted, and so life begins anew; the ties are through."

Loop the cord over the trees so that it will decay naturally.

🌙🔮💔

A Second Rainy Day Ritual to End a Destructive Relationship When a Lover or Ex Won't Accept That it's Over

You will need:

A large circle of green paper

Draw a jagged line down the middle and cut the paper circle in half.

Place the half representing the relationship from which you wish to be severed in the rain, saying, "Not to harm you, but to calm; you must let go, it shall be so. New love you'll fine when you release me from your heart and mind."

Leave the half representing the relationship in the rain until it has dissolved.

Color the image of yourself in bright patterns and right across it, I AM FREE.

Pin it on a wall until you find new love and forge a new life without your ex.

Light the candle.

Put on the copper ring or bracelet, touching it and then your heart with the index finger of your dominant hand, and say, "Lady Venus, morning star, call gentle love from near or far. Send me to a lover new, who will always to me be true."

Take off the ring, shake the bag of rusty nails hard, and say, "Lady Venus, fierce evening star, this old love does my future mar. Release me from my broken heart, for shattered I am that we did part."

Drop the nails one by one into the bowl, then say, "No more cruel love, for I grieve you. By the light of Venus, my thoughts you shall leave."
