Simple Spells And Herbal Magic

Water Spells

MOON WATER: Moon Water is just water that has been magically charged using moonlight. Moon Water isn't just created under the Full Moon. It can also be created using any phase of the Moon.

What You'll Need:

Glass Jar

Filtered or Spring Water

Label

What to Do:

Begin by filling the glass jar with filtered or spring water. You can also use water from a local source, such as a river, lake, or ocean you have developed a relationship with. Once it is full, wait until night and place the jar somewhere it will receive the most moonlight. Leave it out for as many hours as possible. Don't allow the Sun to touch the Water. When ready, bring inside and label the jar with the date, Moon phase, weather, and astrological events. Each of these will affect the properties of the Moon Water. Store in a dark place away from the Sun.

SUN WATER: This water is similar to Moon Water, but you will be using the sun to magically charge the water. Sun Water is great for spells that have to do with strength, power, courage, happiness, l**t, and love. Use it in your solar energy spells, rituals, and baths, or as anointing or blessing water.

PURIFICATION PROTECTION BATH:

This bath combines the power of water with bay leaves and anise seeds to purify and protect. Water and salt are great at washing away negative vibes and unwanted energies, while bay leaves and anise seeds are potent purifiers and protectors. Take this bath before a ritual, especially if you plan to work with spirits, or whenever you are feeling stagnant.

What You'll Need:

10 Bay Leaves

2 Tablespoons Anise Seeds

2 Cups Boiling Water

1 cup Sea Salt or Epsom Salt

What to Do:

Bring two cups of water to a roiling boil. Add the bay leaves and anise seeds and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the infusion to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, fill your bath with warm water and add the salt. Stir the bath water counterclockwise for banishment three times, then stir it clockwise three times for protection and luck. Hold your hands over the water and try to envision the bath filling with golden, purifying light. Strain the infusion and pour the strained water into the bath. Bathe for as long as you wish, imagining the negativity washing away while a protective shield forms around you.

If you don't have a bathtub, this mixture can easily be poured over you in a shower or you can use a washcloth to bathe your skin in the water before washing off. The infusion is potent and should not be allowed to sit on the skin very long.
