Magic Bath Vol. 1 zine re-printed! Available in online shop

just coffee!!

The instruction for this bath is verbatim from Draja's book, Spiritual Cleansing. I found it pretty energizing and beneficial for myself. If you find sickness take a long toll on you then I recommend doing this bath. Anecdotally personally speaking, I found the sickness recovery time to cut in half or in third of the usual time I take to recover from cold and flu with this bath. If it takes me 3-5 days then I found last bout(this current time I am sick) to take a day and half to recover from it. Definitely take your medicine and all other herbal remedies you do, rub yourself in tiger balm yadda yadda not a medical advice.

Personally I vouch for this bath! it's really good and I recommend it if you're feeling sick right now considering the change of weather, season, and sickness around.

The Bath

Coffee

A coffee bath will assist in revitalizing an individual in the process of recovery from any physical illness. It may be used while the individual is still in a weakened condition, but recovering. This bath is an exception to most spiritual baths, in that if it is the first tub bath taken after the onset of an illness, the coffee can be added to a soap and water cleaning bath. All you do is add 3 to 6 cups of strong coffee to the bath water and soak in it for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Please respect your bath, and make the coffee from scratch. This is not the time for any instant brand!

Coffee Hard Work Bath

Here's another spiritual bath to try. If you need help to heal spiritually, physically and emotionally. First draw a bath add in a little Hyssop and Rue. Then light a white candle, don't matter if it's glass or stick.

Light the candle and pray the 23rd Psalms.

Get in the tub and soak, used your hands and wash yourself, get the herbs on you. After a little while uncork the drain. BUT don't get up, I want you to sit there while the water is draining. Let everything drain down with the water and you'll fell it pull off you. Let all the problems your carrying drain with the water.

This is a good before bed bath ritual. It will make you feel very relaxed and clean before resting for the new day to come.

I gathered my elemental candles and all the herbs and flowers I wanted to include into my bath. I also had a new bubble bath that I wanted to use.

I usually grab myself a snack and a drink when I take a bath because it is supposed to be a long and relaxing process for myself. I chose salt and vinegar chips with some hot mint tea and my trusty water bottle.

I set some incense to burn to get into the mood, detox, and cleanse myself.

This ritual was very much improvised so until I revisit these steps, it may seem a little all over the place.

I lit my candles and set them around my bathroom (you can have them around your tub, I just don’t trust myself to not knock them over), let my incense burn and fill the bathroom (fan on of course), I ran my water and visualized what I wanted to come of this bath.

I ran the bubble bath under the water and as it foamed I added blue food coloring for fun and to represent calmness and various herbs and flowers that either caught my eye or had a magical purpose. Quite honestly, I was getting tired quick so I just threw in what looked nice.

I love making my baths nice and pretty, it just feels good.

After settling into the hot water, I released all my tension and let it just melt away. Let all that you have accumulated in the day, week, moon phase, or month just dissolve into the water. Feel yourself being cleansed and reborn.

Once I felt I had decompressed enough, I began to meditate in the tub. Often when I meditate, I mainly focus on my breath and energy. It’s very difficult for my mind to quiet down completely, so my current form of meditation is to give my mind one thing to focus on at a time. I hope to practice more and allow my mind to stand still and relax.

I let my palms face upward in a comfortable position and I focus all my energy and concentration on my breath.

I visualize these great big breaths of color moving in and out as I breathe.

I allow myself to visualize these colors however feels right, sometimes it manifests in my hands, around me, on a certain chakra, or through my lungs.

Allowing myself to slip into this trance like state has been incredibly beneficial to my mental health and overall well being.

For those who prefer not to meditate or can’t meditate, there can be alternatives to this quieter state of mind.

Reading a book and truly absorbing the words and meanings.

Listening to music and focusing on the notes, lyrics, and rhythms.

Drawing whatever may come to mind without planning ahead.

These are all great alternatives or easier ways to slip into this zone.

I didn’t time myself for this meditation, but I feel like I successfully meditated for about 15 minutes.

Once I was finished, I allowed myself to play with the water, bubbles, and flowers as a way to connect to my inner child as well. Baths were always a safe space for me as a child where I didn’t have many safe spaces.

You can add more of whatever you feel is needed to your bath. For example, when I am overwhelmed I like to hold my breath and rest under water and feel everything wash over me completely. When emerging, the water falling off of me feels like it’s taking everything with it.

I always do an actual shower after bathing, especially after a bath with lots of material in the water.

After cleaning myself off, I step into a fresh towel and pat myself dry and sit and allow myself to feel the heat from the water still.

This is a great time to begin getting ready for sleep. I brushed my teeth, did my skincare, brushed my hair, etc. I headed to bed with a book, and read by candle light until I was unable to keep my eyes open 🛌.

The next morning, I made sure to make myself a good breakfast and good cup of coffee to continue the good vibes I accumulated the day before.

This ritual will become a staple of mine, it felt so good to practice and get things done on a beautiful New Moon Sunday.

Magical Valentine's Bath Soak for whomever you love weather it be your mother, sibling, friend or lover.

What you will need:

Smudge or anything you you to cleanse the area you will be creating your soak

Candle: you can use specific colors that speak to you such as yellow, red, or green.

1 cup powdered oats or full fat powdered milk

1/2 cup Epsom salt

1/4 cup rose petals

5-7 drops rose essential oil

Red food coloring (optional)

1-2tsp Natural glitter: got mine off of Etsy from Gaia Glitter. They have all sorts of colors and isn't made of plastic!

Measuring tools

1 medium bowl

Whisk

Glass jar

Muslin bag

I also suggest adding a personal touch. Maybe switch up the essential oil to something that your loved one particularly likes or put different dried flowers in like chamomile or lavender buds

Putting it together: after cleaning the area ask your highers, angels, ancestors for guides to assist in your spell. Light your candle. I often turn on music to help set the mood.

Then in a medium bowl add epsom salt and powder oats or milk then mix. Then add in the petals, essential oil, and food coloring (if using) whisk until all blended. Then add glitter, be careful it can get everywhere!

Put it in a mason jar with a muslin bag.
