Salt Cleansing Spells

Salt is the single most powerful and consistent aura cleanser. Sea salt, processed as little as possible,
is most powerful, although many magical traditions, not necessarily Jewish, prefer kosher salt, as it
bears the aura of being blessed. However, in extremis, any type of salt is effective.
Salt Cleansing Bath (1)
This is a quick-fix cleansing, perfect for spontaneous needs:
1. Add at least one cup of salt to a bathtub filled with warm water. 2. Soak thoroughly, allowing
yourself to air-dry, when the bath is over.
Salt Cleansing Bath (2)
1. Dissolve at least one cup of salt into a tub of warm water. 2. Add at least one cup of vinegar. 3.
Slice one lemon and one lime in half. Squeeze the juice into the bathwater. Toss the rinds in also. 4.
Rub the squeezed-out fruit halves against your body as you soak in the tub.
Salt Cleansing Spell (3)
There are many ways to benefit from salts cleansing powers, including bath salts. The basic
formula for bath salts consists of two cups of sea salt blended with one-half cup of baking soda.
This standard formula, alone, added to the bath provides effective cleansing. The cleansing may be
enhanced and strengthened by adding essential oils. The following increase the potency greatly:
frankincense, lavender, manuka, rosemary, thyme linalool, and sandalwood. Dried powderea
ingredients may also be added, especially dragons blooa powder, powdered rosemary, and
lavender.
Salt Scrub
A salt scrub provides a more concentrated cleansing. For maximum effect, add bath salts to the
water and then apply the salt scrub directly to the body. The Standard Salt Scrub formula consists of
a blend of approximately one cup of salt and one-half cup of oil. The actual quantity depends,
however, upon the desired consistency and the sensitivity of your skin: if youd like a softer, less
abrasive scrub, increase the proportion of oil. Because salt is purifying and protective, every salt
scrub inherently provides aura cleansing. However, the purpose and added effects of a salt scrub
may be adjusted through the addition of essential oils. Rosemary, clary sage, frankincense, manuka,
benzoin, thyme linalool, and sandalwood all intensify the cleansing effect.
Scythian Cleansing Spell
Once upon a time, the Scythians dominated the European and Central Asian steppes. At the peak of
their power, their influence ranged from the borders of China to the borders of Egypt. The Scythians
left no written records, only beautiful gold ornaments, much of it in the form of magical animals.
What we know of their culture derives from archeological analysis and surviving reports by their
literate contemporaries. According to the Greek observer Herodotus the Scythians didnt bathe with
water, instead favoring vapor baths similar to the Russian bathhouse or Native American sweat
lodge. Women however also used this cleansing method:
1. Pound cedar, cypress, and frankincense into paste. 2. Apply this to the body and leave on
overnight, removing in the morning to impart spiritual cleanliness and beautiful fragrance.
Seven Flowers Miracle Bath
This bath is ideal for when youre very tired, very jaded, very drained or very bitter. Seven different
fresh flowers are required for this bath, the magic number associated with hope and miracles.
Choose whatever flowers are available or whatever flowers appeal to you. Float the flowers in the
bathtub and soak while focusing on regaining innocence and optimism.
Seven Roses Bath
This spell requires: Seven red roses A handful of sea salt A splash of vinegar A squeeze of lemon
juice A splash of pure spring water or substitute a splash of either Marie Laveau or Notre Dame
Water.
1. Fill the tub with water. 2. Throw all the ingredients into the tub. 3. Spend seven minutes in the
bath, rubbing yourself with the roses, submerging yourself periodically and focusing upon your
goals. 4. Dry off with a clean towel, white or unbleached cotton if possible, and put on fresh
clothes. 5. Dont clean the tub out right away; let it sit for at least an hour while your aura cleansing
stabilizes.
Seven Waves Ocean Cleansing
Immerse yourself in ocean waters to achieve aura cleansing. When seven waves have passed over
you, the cleansing is complete.
Spirit of the Sea Magic Spiritual Cleansing (1)
If you suffer from a real sense of defilement, petition the spirits of the sea to provide healing and
cleansing. Although there are many such spirits, Aphrodite and Yemaya are particularly powerful
and benevolent. Petition either spirit or both. They are compatible with each other.
1. Journey to the beach with a bouquet of roses. (Six yellow roses for Aphrodite and/or seven white
roses for Yemaya.) 2. Stand in the shallow water. Dip each rose in sea water and then massage it,
gently, one at a time, over your body, stroking downwards: down your legs, down your arms, as if
you are removing something. Use a light touch. 3. Toss each rose into the sea after youve used it to
cleanse yourself. 4. When all the roses have been given to the ocean, enter deeper water and allow
significant waves to pass over you, seven for Yemaya, six for Aphrodite. (If youre afraid of the
deep water, sit or recline in the shallows and let the water pass over you.) 5. Ask these beautiful,
benevolent spirits to cleanse you and replenish your aura and energy. 6. Turn around and walk out
of the water and go home.
Spirit of the Sea Magic Spiritual Cleansing (2) Yemaya
1. Bring seven empty bottles to the beach. 2. Catch ocean water from a separate wave in each one.
3. Place seven watermelon seeds inside each bottle, together with sprigs of mugwort and mucura
and a small clear quartz crystal. 4. Seal the bottles and bring them home. Each bottle will be added
to a separate bath to be taken over seven consecutive days. Ideally the bath should be initiated at
either 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. and repeated daily at the same time. 5. Add the contents of a bottle to your
bath. 6. Accompany by burning a blue or white candle until the final bath, when seven candles are
lit.
Storm Water Cleansing (1)
Sacred springs, especially steaming hot springs, were the initial primal sources for spiritual
cleansing Unfortunately these are not accessible to all, especially on a regular and consistent basis.
The most accessible wild water tends to be rainwater.
1. Collect rainwater to provide a similar spiritual effect, especially water from a strong downpour. 2.
Pay attention to the after-effects of the storm: if the air feels especially clean, then you know youve
collected powerful water. 3. Add this water to your bathwater. 4. Use it to cleanse your hair.
Storm Water Cleansing (2)
1. Collect storm water in an iron cauldron. 2. Heat it up until it simmers and steam is produced. 3.
Stand naked beside or over the cauldron, whatever is comfortable and safe, wafting the steam over
you, directing it with your hands.
Tlazolteotls Cleansing Spell
The Spirit of Garbage, Tlazolteotl is the terrible and beautiful Aztec spirit of love and Queen of
Witches. A fierce spirit, her domain includes sex, romance, magic and healing. Tlazolteotl cleanses
Earth of psychic garbage. She eats it, thus removing it from Earth. Tlazolteotl is capable of
absorbing any filth, providing a purified aura instead. Tlazolteotl invented the temescal bath, the
brick Aztec sweat lodge. Outlawed by the conquering Spanish, temescals have recently been
revived and are emerging as chic additions to the bed and breakfast inns of Oaxaca and Mexico
City, in addition to retaining their traditional healing and spiritual purposes. Erect an altar dedicated
to Tlazolteotl. Decorate it with her attributes: obsidian, smoky quartz, turquoise, spools of cotton
thread. Her favorite animals include bats, owls and ravens. Speak to her, describe your experiences
in detail and request that she provide cleansing and renewal. This is best done before going to sleep,
so that the actual cleansing as well as any messages from the spirit may be received in your dreams.
A visit to the temescal may also be in order. If this is not a realistic option, try a steam shower with
fragrant herbs, like sage, spearmint, chamomile and rosemary.
Cleansing Objects and Ritual Tools
Any object may be spiritually cleansed using the various cleansing techniques; just make sure that
the technique will not harm the object. (Sprinkling Indigo Water on a crystal, for instance, is fine. If
you soak fabric in Indigo Water, on the other hand, it will turn blue.) Pass objects through incense
smoke Fumigate them using a smudge stick Asperge with cleansing waters: Holy Water, Marie
Laveau Water and Rose of Jericho Water are particularly effective, however choose what suits your
purposes best. Salt water provides a strong cleansing, providing the object will not be damaged by
salt Singing bowls will cleanse objects as well as areas and individuals
Balancing Cleansing
Myrrh represents the female principle, frankincense the male. Although most frequently theyre
blended, this spell suggests alternating between the two. Burn myrrh and burn frankincense
simultaneously but separately. Pass ritual tools through myrrh smoke and then through
frankincense, alternating between the two until the spell feels complete, for cleansing, charging, and
balancing.
Desert Sage Cleansing
Pass ritual objects, crystals, and mirrors through desert sage smoke to cleanse and empower them.
