HOW TO CLEANSE TAP WATER FOR SPELLWORK
1. Run tap water into an empty bottle and immediately pour it out
2. Fill the bottle again but this time seal the bottle.
3. Draw out a cleansing sigil. I use this one HERE
4. Tape it to the outside of the bottle.
5. Arrange four white tea lights and a long candle into a pentagram with the long candle at the apex.
6. Place the bottle of water at the centre of the pentagram
7. Light the long candle and use it to light the tea lights in a clockwise rotation.
8. Place a clear quartz on the bottle
9. Place your hand over the clear quartz and allow your positive energies to flow through it. Imagine the quartz like a magnifying glass and your energy the sun.
10. Finish your spell with your preferred method. I blow out all the candles and say “so it is”
Witch Tip #9: Snow / Snow Water
Everyone talks about rain water and moon water in the craft but other forms of water are swept under the rug, I believe. We just had a snow storm the other days so I figured why not give you the run down!
Water in all its forms is a symbol of knowledge. Descending water represents the transmission of knowledge from a higher to a lower place, the flow of information from teacher to student. On a cosmic level, rain and snow reflect different ways in which divine energy flows to us from a higher spiritual plane.
Snow is water. It’s cold and it’s frozen, but it’s water nonetheless. Water is a feminine energy. Used for healing, cleansing, and purification, Water is related to the West, and associated with passion and emotion. You can gather snow and use it for different purposes–for instance, wet, sticky snow gathered during a raging blizzard might be used in workings related to high energy and power. A jar full of light fluffy snow collected during a soft, quiet snowfall could be incorporated into a ritual for peacefulness and tranquility.
You save snow in a jar and freeze it to have access to it throughout the year when you my not have it on hand or you could let it melt and keep it in jar.
*Some may say that once melted it looses certain properties, HOWEVER you put the real intention into your materials. It’s your craft and you can create your own properties for items. Always go with what feels right!
water salt
encourages calmness, protection, healing, renewal, and understanding. use to represent the element of water for an alter/spell.
- sea salt
- rose
- chamomile
- eucalyptus
grind together with a river stone until combined (sub for whatever you have on hand if you can’t get one ofc), charge using crystals of your personal association, by having it on the windowsill during a heavy rain/storm, or with a blue candle to reawaken before use.
