Bath spells are very common for witches today, and with good reason. Who doesn’t love a nice relaxing bath, and using candles and herbs to set the mood has been done for years. Like a lot of magic the main difference between a bath spell and a bath with candles and good smells is intent. I’ve heard of a dozen ways to do bath spells, mostly involving putting different herbs in the bath to enhance it. This is something you can either do loose in the bath, as a sachet, or as an incense burned nearby; I’m a fan of the sachet method for myself, just for the ease of clean up.
Adding candles and stones around the edge of the bath can also be a great way to bring magic to your soak, but of course if you’re doing anything with fire always put your safety first. If you can’t place a candle safely on the edge of your bath, a nearby counter top with line of sight can work just as well.
Now you’re probably saying, “Hey! You promised us a masculine witch blog, baths aren’t very manly”. To which I can only say, “So?” While it’s true that baths don’t fall under the typical view of masculinity that doesn’t mean they should be avoided, I like to use baths to loosen my muscles up after tough workouts, or meditate in a relaxing environment.
That being said, here’s a few ways to make your bath spells more manly:
1. Take a shower instead of a bath, you won’t be able to enjoy it for nearly as long, but if you put your herbs in a sachet and hang it from the shower head you’ll get a similar experience.
2. Use scents that you consider more masculine, I don’t use scented candles often but when I do my favorite scent is tobacco; basically what I’m saying is you don’t have to come out of a bath smelling like flowers if you don’t want to.
3. Drink beer or whiskey while you bathe, obviously don’t do this one if you’re underage, but I find a nice rye while I’m soaking is a wonderful way to get me to relax and let the spell do its job.
4. Listen to a podcast, a lot of people recommend music to relax in a bath, but I always find I don’t like any of the usual “relaxing” music because it’s too slow; instead I’ll listen to gaming podcasts.
5. If none of those are masculine enough for you then I recommend this: Don’t bathe alone, you won’t get much magic done, but a soak with a partner never fails to relax me.
That finishes up my ramble on bath magic. Practice safe and Ret'urcye mhi!
I apologize for my recent absence, I have been suffering a lot with seasonal depression but things are starting to get better now that the sun is coming back out. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is a love and lust bath ritual.
this little scrub is great to use in the shower after work or after dealing with any other stressful event i.e meeting up with toxic family, running errands, etc! it helps soothe that hectic feeling and provides a healing and comforting energy
what you’ll need;
sugar
thyme
chamomile
optional;
rose quartz helps this process move along and charges up the spell perfectly if you have some on hand! i like to charge the scrub with it as i’m grinding everything up and/or hold it over my chest with the scrub sitting on it for a moment, but literally none of this is necessary i don’t even do it every time i just use it for a little kick when i need it
just mash everything up together neatly and methodically, meditate on the state of mind you’d like to work towards and how you’d like to feel. then take your scrub and work it clockwise over your heart and work those intentions in, after that just scrub all over and proceed how you normally would! i usually end up curling up in bed under a fluffy sheet right after this scrub, it always makes me feel so cozy and safe <3
this bath potion is dual use, it can help release stress and tensions from your day, built up emotions and worry; but it also serves as a wonderful muscle relaxer~
muscle relaxer, soothes tension/stress/nerves, detoxes the body of negative energies
-lavender & rosemary bundle
lavender serves to soothe, comfort, and add a soft healing love to the bath, while rosemary serves to invigorate, renew and protect your spirits and mindset
**you can toss this in the bath itself or light it and let it smoke out while you bathe or you could even wave it over yourself in the tub for the effects, your call
-
[now what?]
light up your candle(s) and arrange your crystals around the bath accordingly, add everything into the bath water itself that you’ll be adding, and if you’re using the epsom salts make sure you use the right amount to actually get the detox benefits! i recommend letting the candle light be the only thing lighting up the bathroom but ofc that’s not necessary if you can’t/it spooks you out
-
really hope everyone enjoys this bath spell! i’m definitely gonna be getting lots of use out of this one, of course as always feel free to ask any questions about the spell/process!
this potion is great for invoking self love, healing, and calming; it allows you to become more patient and gentle with yourself, encouraging an environment of forgiveness and an inner sense of comfort.
you can pour some in a bath or use culinary grade ingredients and keep refrigerated to drink as a potion, you could keep a bottle by your nightstand, or gift a bottle to a friend/partner, and this would serve as a wonderful alter decor/offering for aphrodite or even fae, there’s plenty of ways to incorporate the potion into your craft!
love, calming, power punch, healing, regeneration, detoxification of negative energies or thought patterns
-
*for this potion pink or red rose petals would work best but i suppose you could use any! white is also a good option here
**if you don’t have sea/pink salt don’t worry about substituting it’s better to just leave it out at that point, its not for the salts protective qualities but for the calming & healing effect sea/pink salts have!
[now what?]
this one is super simple to put together, all you’ve gotta do is get everything in a pot and simmer it on crazy low heat (barely any action just enough to coerce the infusion together)
strain and bottle up! you alternately could brew it in a bottle on a windowsill perhaps but don’t leave it there too long it’ll go rancid! be careful!
-
as always feel free to ask any questions about the potion/process! i really love this potion and i hope you guys do too!
