Witchcrafts

Whenever spell work is planned most of us try to begin with a ritual bath or shower, and in my mind the raising of energy can actually begin then.  That is what lead me to the making of ritual bath soaps that are charged at the time of their making.  In addition to charging these I use corresponding herbs, oils, and scents to help as many of the senses to be involved as possible.  I also like to add color, body glitter, anything that helps the user truly begin the process in the bath or shower.

Melt and pour soap base is carried at all most all large craft stores and you can get all kinds, goat milk, olive oil, and suspension blends to hold the herbs in place, to name a few.  You can use it as needed, and as long as it’s not exposed to a lot of humidity it keeps well.  If you are only buying it for personal use, a pyrex bowl and your microwave are really all you need, and the tins for bite size muffins work great for a mold.  If you want to customize them there are all kinds of molds available.

I have found the most commonly requested ritual soaps are either for prosperity, love, or protection, and with that in mind, and since space is limited, those are the three I am including here:

Love

For this soap I use rose petals, and either the scent or oil, as well as some vanilla.  You can add pink or red soap coloring, and body glitter if you wish.  It really does seem that the more senses you involve the easier it is to raise energy.  I use the following charge:

Rose of beauty you lend the scent

To find true love is my intent

A companion strong and true

This is the task I ask of you

Prosperity

For this I like bayberry oil, a light green color and gold body glitter.  You can substitute any other oils or herbs that symbolize prosperity as you desire.

Gold that glitters, rich green light

Shine down upon me

Clear and bright

A change of luck, prosperity

Is my intent please let it be

Protection

For this blend I use dragon’s blood oil as well as finely ground resin.  I also like to add sandalwood or myrrh oil since the dragon’s blood is not very strongly scented in this form.  Color is kind of a toss up, for me a dark red conjures the best image.

Dragon timeless, creature bold

Send your protection

As in days of old

Kindly lend your energy

This is my will so mote it be

You can also use epsom salts or sea salt, and add your oil, scent and herbs if you want.  Another good thing about having the soap base around, you can use it for gift giving.  If you have people that are not Wiccan on your list, oatmeal and milk, or lavender are pretty popular.  For the oatmeal and milk you can use plain oats that come in the round containers, and a little dry milk.  Add the milk first a pinch at a time, and if you end up with some that does’nt blend in, it’s simple to use a small spoon and skim it out, once you feel there is enough in the base.

There is no limit to the different recipes you can make whether they be for ritual bath or your kid’s teacher, and almost alway’s if you end up with a scent you hate there is someone in your life that will love it.
