#charged waters

solar eclipse: occurs during a new moon when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned - the moon passes directly between the sun and earth, causing the sun to be obscured by the moon. at this point, the only visible sunlight stems from its corona, or the outer aura of plasma that surrounds the sun.

associated with: transformation, rebirth, change, renewal, reflection, shadow work, spirit work, as a catalyst, binding, and cursing

lunar eclipse: occurs during a full moon when the moon passes directly behind the earth into its shadow, or umbra - sunlight is blocked by the earth's position in front of the sun and the only visible light is that which is refracted through the earth’s atmosphere, causing a reddish hue to appear on the moon.

associated with: illumination, reflection, introspection, revealing secrets, unveiling hidden knowledge, truth, clarity, release, healing, cleansing, protection, and divination

items: 

clean, clear container with a flat top lid (a mason jar would be great)

clean water (distilled, purified, filtered, etc. avoid tap water if you want this to last)

three small crystals to represent the earth, sun, and moon

a sigil or statement of intent written on paper

instructions: 

on the day of your chosen eclipse, fill your container with water and set outside or in your windowsill before the peak of the eclipse (the time will depend on your location) 

program the jar to absorb energy from the eclipse

write down your sigil or petition and place the paper underneath the jar

on the top of the lid, align the crystals in order, depending on the type of eclipse you're working with: sun, moon, and earth for solar eclipses; sun, earth, moon for lunar eclipses

allow to charge for the duration of the eclipse

when finished, remove the jar from its original location and store in a cool, dark place for later use

Charged waters Solar water

Solar Water – Solar Water is highly charged water to use in spells calling for ego, honor, dignity, power, and pride. If you have spells toincrease your self-confidence, improve your leadership abilities and increase your vitality, using Solar Water to enhance the efficacy of the spell is perfect. Just as the sun brings so much life to the earth, Solar Water breathes new life into spells used, which incorporate this powerful water. If you time the period of gathering around peak sunspot activity, it gives the Solar Water and extra boost. Solar water can be used in cleansing baths and tea’s as well as floor wash solutions.

You will need Jar with a lid Water Clear quartz (optional) And sunshine of course!

How to 1. Fill jar with water, filtered if you have it otherwise tap water is fine

2. When the sun begins to rise in the morning, place your jar filled with water outside in a secure place. If you are using a clear quartz place it inside the jar as well

3. charge your water using your intention (whatever you want your water be used for)

4. Leave your water outside until just before sunset

Remove the petals from a few fresh roses, place them in a small pot, and cover with approximately a quarter of an inch of spring water.

Simmer gently until a visual change is observed: the petals will become limp and pallid. (If in doubt, a minute longer may be preferable to a minute less.)

Strain and allow the liquid to cool. If not used immediately, refrigerate any left over.

This formula may also be used to create any type of fresh flower water—orange blossom or jasmine, for instance—providing the flowers are not poisonous or toxic.

This formula is designed to bring serenity to a troubled household. As peace is so elusive, it should come as no surprise that Peace Water is much more difficult to create than, say, War Water. It takes a skilled blender to concoct true Peace Water and it may be the one formula you are better off purchasing than making by hand. However, you need to understand the product in order to obtain or create the real thing.

True Peace Water is visibly identifiable. There should be three distinct layers: two light blue liquids with a clear layer in between. (Some versions only use two layers: one blue, one clear.)

The theory behind Peace Water stems from the biblical phrase regarding spreading oil over troubled waters. The natural propensity for oil and water to separate creates the layers. At its best, Peace Water is aesthetically a very beautiful product, with the light blue color evoking a sense of serenity. The mere visual presence of fine Peace Water is believed magically able to maintain a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere.

Blue layers may be made with Indigo Water or with any of the blue components used to create Indigo Water.

The clear layer may be made with Holy Water, Rose of Jericho Water, or Notre Dame Water.

The tricky part is layering the oil and water so that the three layers remain distinct.

Peace Water is used in a variety of house blessing, cleansing, and healing spells. To use it, shake the bottle, so that the layers disperse. They should return to their positions once the bottle is at rest.

May Wine is acknowledged as the ritual potion for Walpurgis Night or May Eve.

Woodruff, also known as Queen or Master of the Woods, is the required ingredient.

Although there are complex methods of creating May Wine, at its simplest: steep sprigs of sweet woodruff in white wine for several hours. Bruised strawberries and/or sugar may also be added. Serve and enjoy.

This can only be created on the fifth day of the fifth [month of the Chinese calendar], the only day that ordinary grass allegedly possesses special magical properties. The instructions must be followed exactly.

Rise early on that morning.

Walk exactly one hundred paces into a field without turning your head.

Pluck exactly one hundred blades of grass.

Take these home and place them in a pot of spring water. Bring it to a boil.

Strain, reserving the liquid and discarding the grass.

Boil the liquid once more, let it cool and bottle.

Hundred Grass Lotion is used as a remedy for aura repair, nervous disorders, and headaches that resist other cures. It is not to be confused with Hindu Grass Oil, which is a Hoodoo formula similar to Van Van.
