Bathing is sensational magick to use to reunite with the element of water. Baths and showers can be effective in assisting the sick to heal, promoting self love, enticing good fortune as well as purifying the body, mind & soul.. Adding some salt, bath salts, herbs and oils to the tub and soaking enhance your magickal intention and cleanse the body of negative energies.
