Is it Bath Time?

Three new bath salts! Put about ¼ cup into a warm bath to help manifest energy and positive thinking. Enjoy for relaxation, purification, and meditation. 

Stress Relief ~ 1 cup epsom salt ~ 1 cup sea salt ~ 10 drops lavender essential oil ~ 1 tbls dried lavender ~ 1 tbls chamomile flowers

Cleansing and Purification ~ 1 cup epsom salt ~ 2/3 cup sea salt ~ 3 ground bay leaves ~ 3 drops lemon oil or extract ~ (optional) 2 drops salt water

Ritual Amplification  ~ 1 cup epsom salt ~ ¼ cup sea salt ~ 10 drops pomegranate oil ~ 1 tbls rosemary

Today I ground too much coffee at work and they let me take the grounds home. Knowing that Mabon is soon approaching on the 21st, I decided to do some easy magic in preparation! I unfortunately will be very busy that week house and babysitting so celebrating/participating may be very minimal, with my extra coffee I decided it's only natural to make some coffee sugar scrubs so I can banish unwanted energy and invigorate my week with cozy fall energy!

I will be listing below two seperate recipes I made. One is a Mabon corresponding sugar coffee scrub. The second is a Psychic Protection sugar coffee scrub, best for protecting yourself from unwanted energy.

These scrubs are great for Mabon or Samhain! The ingredients are safe for the skin during any bath or shower ritual, you can even slice apples crosswise to reveal their hidden pentacle and add to your baths as well to enhance your experience and add a witchy mood!

MABON SUGAR COFFEE SCRUB

1 1/2 cups of sugar- to attract sweet things to you

1/2 cup of olive oil- to ensure your Mabon and Autumn Equinox is blessed with good intent

1 tbs of ground coffee (you can use dry or wet, I used dry dark roast coffee)- to break curses and ground you.

Small handful of ground whole cloves- for friendship

1 tsp of Honey- for beauty and self love

1 Ground whole cinnamon stick- corresponding with Wednesday, and to represent bonfires of fall.

10 drops of skin and body safe pumpkin spice essential oil (I was heavy handed because who doesn't love pumpkin?)- for wishes being granted

10 drops of skin and body safe orange essential oil- for prosperity

A sprinkle of sea salt - for protection

PSYCHIC PROTECTION SUGAR COFFEE SCRUB

1 1/2 cups of sugar- to attract sweet things to you

3/4 cup of olive oil- to anoint/and bless yourself.

3/4 cup of liquid coconut oil- corresponding to the moon and purification.

1 tbs of ground coffee (you can use dry or wet, I used dry dark roast coffee)- to break curses and ground you, also aids in divination.

Small handful of ground whole cloves- for friendship

1 tsp of Honey- for beauty and self love

1 Ground whole cinnamon stick- corresponding with Wednesday, and to represent bonfires of fall.

1 tbs of lavender buds- divination clarity, protection, and cleansing

1 tbs of dried rose petals- psychic power and divination

10 drops of rosemary essential oil that's safe for skin and body- healing, power, and protection.

10 drops of rose essential oil that's safe for skin and body

A sprinkle of sea salt- for protection

Crush the whole cloves/cinnamon in a mortar pedestal until fine, combine with all dry ingredients in a medium to large bowl and give a good stir. Stir with your intent in mind. You can transform these into very protective or courage invoking scrubs.

Next add in your oil and honey, stir in slowly, making sure to scrape the sides and get all the sugar mixture well incorporated. Stir counter clockwise to banish evil spirits or negativity, stir clockwise to draw in good energy and happiness toward you. Invision it and see it happening in real time.

As Aggie Cromwell in Halloweentown says, "Magic is really very simple, all you've got to do is want something and then let yourself have it!"

Spoon into a mason jar and seal the lid tight. This also makes great gifts for others, I'm giving one to my mother as her birthday ends on Mabon and she loves PSL/Fall.

Hope you all enjoy it! You can also use the coffee, oil, sugar base for any type of scrub. 🔮💖

I decided to make a Joyful Relaxing Bath

Ingredients:

Orange slices

Lemon slices

1/2 cup Cornstarch

1/2 cup Baking soda

A pinch of cinnamon

1/4 cup of rice powder

Edit: make sure that the rice powder is extra fine grain. If not, just use a muslin bag. Less of a hassle to clean up and clogging your drain.

Witchy Baths Masterpost

Here is a big masterpost of different types of baths for different types of witches! Use these baths before or after witchcraft to pump yourself up or to wind down. And you do not have to be any specific type of witch to use any of these baths. Any witch can use them.

Note: Many of these baths call for crystals. Research crystals before getting them wet. Many of them listed you should not put in water, instead keep them at the edge of your tub or near it.

Sea Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (1 tsp)

Sea Salt (½ tsp)

Coconut Oil (1 spoonful)

Coconut Water (½ cup)

Sea Glass, Sea shells, aquamarine, ocean jasper, abalone, pearl, larimar, coral, sand dollars and/or clear quartz

Wood Spoon

Blue and white candles (optional- ocean scented ones)

Steps: Light your candles before filling the tub. Once you start filling the tub add your coconut oil, coconut water, sea salt and kelp powder. With your spoon stir clockwise to help mix in the powder, which can take a bit. The water should turn a faint green tint (the more kelp you add the greener it gets but also the stronger the smell gets). Line your tub’s edge with your sea glass, sea shells, and gemstones. Be sure not to let the gemstones fall in the water, especially if they are ones that can’t get wet. Get into your tub and enjoy.

Note: Kelp powder smells very strongly of kelp, it is a scent I personally like but a lot of people don’t. Air out your bathroom a bit after the bath to disperse the smell. Also if you do not wish to smell like kelp yourself, rinse off after your bath quickly.

Swamp Witch Bath

Kelp Powder (2 spoonfuls)

Clay or Bath Mud like Moor Mud (read label for how much to use)

Green and brown candles

Wooden Spoon

Snail shells, alligator teeth, rounded rocks and any green gemstones you may have

Optional- Moss if you have potted moss to keep on the edge of the tub (or a moss bathmat)

Steps: Light your candles then begin to fill your tub. Add in your kelp powder and the mud, using your wooden spoon stir clockwise to mix. Depending on the type of mud/clay you are using the water will either turn very green to a dark brown. Line your tub with your gemstones, rocks, teeth and snail shells. If you are bringing in a moss plant or other plants keep them near the tub. Get into the tub and relax, if your moss is a stepable type of moss and in reach you can rub your fingers in it as you relax.

Note: Like the sea witch bath, you may want to air out the bathroom after your bath. This bath will smell much stronger of kelp and you may want to shower afterwards to avoid smelling strongly of kelp. You may have to rinse your tub to rid of mud used.

Add your tea bags into the water, line your tub with the pinecones and get in.
