Water Magick: How To Perform A Ritual Bath

Immerse yourself in magickal water rituals with these sacred herbs, tips, and ingredients.

At Enchantments, we always recommend taking a sea salt bath before performing magick (or for any occasion). Usually a good Uncrossing bath (or scrub) is all I need to feel “back to myself,” but since NYC has been on lockdown and the store temporarily closed, I realized I didn't have any left in the house. When this happens, I normally add a few drops of Uncrossing oil to plain sea salt or Epsom salts, but even my oil vial was empty. This meant I had to improvise – as witches do. 

After cleaning my small bathtub, I decided my intention would be purification, healing and love. I focused on this as the tub filled with water and went searching in my kitchen for herbs and items to promote those intentions. 

This is what I gathered...
  • Clear and rose quartz (for clarity, healing, love)
  • Sea salt (which strips away spiritual negativity. My sea salt is blended with pepper, which is also good for repelling negativity)
  • Coconut water (known to cleanse and protect your spiritual aura. You can also use coconut milk, as an alternative)
  • Lemon and orange slices (They not only act as a mild disinfectant and astringent, but are great for clearing and happiness.)
  • Green tea bag (to promote healing)
  • Basil (for love and protection)
  • Bay (for purification, strength, healing, protection)
  • Rosemary (for healing)
  • Dried roses (for love)
  • Sage (for cleansing, healing, protection)
  • Rosehip seed essential oil (to promote love and also heal damaged skin)
  • Vanilla extract (to promote love, balances mood and reduce stress)​ ​

With all my magickal tools in place, I lit incense (Van Van, for this occasion) and tea light candles around the tub. I charged my crystals by visualizing my energy and aura being fused with each one. I then held each herb and said aloud what its job would be for my ritual. I combined the tea and a pinch of all the herbs in a cloth sachet bag and added it to the water. Lastly, I added the sea salt, oil, coconut water and fruit slices (with a bit of juice squeezed out) to the bath. 

Now it’s time to create an incantation. Sometimes I use a quote from a book I’m currently reading or a ritual poem from ancient folklore, but for some reason I was feeling something different that day. I went to my playlist on my music app, hit shuffle, and “Alive” by Sia started to play. Perfect! As I sang along with the vocals, I saw my tub as my lifeline. I saw the water as my medicine – meant to cure my spiritual and emotional turmoil. I visualized radiant, rainbow colored light filling my body as I lowered myself into the warm, magickal water.

The circle was cast. 


As my anxiety began to melt away, I could let down my psychic protections and feel the energy of my intention enter my aura. I continued to sing, I continued to visualize. I focused on releasing all the negative energies within my psychic body, and as this energy flowed out of me, it would be replaced with my healing intention.

When I’m ready to end my bath and feel relaxed and fully myself again, I allow the tub to empty completely. This ensures that the dirty water that is now holding the negative energies is washed off entirely. I then put out the candles, step out of the tub, and dry off my body as I chant affirmations like “I am safe, I am healthy, I am loved.”

Sometimes it’s good to follow up your water bath with a sound bath or short meditation session to affirm your magickal intention. You can also place your sachet of bath herbs on your altar until it completely dries out and reaffirm your intention each time you look at it. After it dries, empty the cloth bag and re-use in your next bath (up to 2-3 times). 

Cleansing is only one step in the process and spiritual hygiene involves more than just purifying yourself and space. I always recommend doing some kind of protection ritual and attract positive energy after you do a cleansing. Candle magick is always a good follow up to bath rituals; in this case, I carved myself a Peace and Protection candle after I was done. 

Here are some other ingredients you can add to your bath...
  • Coffee or coffee grounds (for banishing and stimulating  the senses)
  • Pineapple juice (for energizing, to dissolve dead skin cells, and for use as an astringent)
  • Milk of any kind (for purification and Goddess energy. Plus, it softens skin)
  • Aloe gel or juice (for protection, luck, to soothe skin irritation, and restore the skin’s natural pH)
  • Vinegar (for banishing. Can also be used as a mild cleanser and astringent)
  • Calendula/Marigold (to invoke calming vibes. Also an anti-inflammatory)
  • Chamomile (helps calm anxiety and soothes irritation)
  • Cucumber (for healing and to hydrate skin)
  • Eucalyptus (for healing and to open up airways)
  • Fennel (for healing, cleansing, skin hydration)
  • Ginger (for healing, luck, wealth, grounding, and to relieve aches)
  • Lavender (for love, protection, purification, and to soothe skin)
  • Witch Hazel (an excellent astringent)
  • Beer (to invoke abundance)
  • Wine (used for consecration and blessings)
  • Vodka (as an astringent)
  • Coins or money (to welcome in wealth)
  • Stones or rocks (for protection)
  • Locks (for security and safety)
  • Nut, bolts, and screws (to ensure success in projects)​​

This is an amazing article simply because you taught me how to have a ritual bath! Of course, this makes me happy because it is something that I haven't tried before. Though there are hundreds of ingredients needed to pull it off, I am still willing to try it, of course it doesn't mean anything but I am looking forward to try it anytime soon. I am sure that it's done delicately so there is a need to be careful. I am hoping that I could pull it off.

Thanks for reading! You don't need hundreds of ingredients for a ritual bath – just use what you already have in house (like the author did). The main point is to use your herbs and sea salt with the power of intention!

Yes, definitely. Add sea salt to a bowl of warm water (and herbs, if you'd like) and pour it over yourself in the shower.

Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to him as he's the best in his field.. You can contact him via

HOW TO GET YOUR EX BACK WITHOUT PANIC THANKS TO GREAT PRIEST ANNE FOR SOLVING MY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS WHATSAPP : +17405177939


How I got my wife back after she left me and our son for another man. My name is curtis jackson , from the United States. My wife and I have been together for about 17 yrs now. We were happily married with a 4yrs old son. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and few weeks later I found out that my wife is seeing someone. She started coming home late from work, she hardly cares about me or the kid anymore, Sometimes she goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Priest anne guidance can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should try him out. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 24 hours later, my wife came to me and apologized for the wrongs she did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family and I are living together happily again.. All thanks to Priest Anne.

Some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I'm a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it's been 8 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Lord Meduza spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 72 hours, Lord Meduza provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Lord Meduza, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $42.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Lord Meduza because he truly keeps his promises.

The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues.  He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful.  I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure.

I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo. I am forever indebted to him for fixing the problem I had in my marriage. kindly contact him for fast and urgent Help, text him on WhatsApp via: +2348133261196 or review/contact him from his webpage: https://isikolo-temple.com
