3 Self-Love and Self-Care Rituals
As witches, our well-being needs to be our number one priority to focus and be in tune with our craft. Psychology studies have shown self-love and compassion are key parts of healthier and better mental health. If we have not taken care of our minds and bodies with self-love, empathy, and respect how can we get stronger as witches? Today I will be explaining 3 rituals that will help you feel beautiful once again!
These are spells and rituals I use but you can always change, add or take away ingredients, the amounts, or just make your own. Remember your craft is unique and should speak to you.
1: Full Moon Self-Love Bath Ritual
*Ingredients/ Materials:
1 cup Epsom salt
1 jar of moon water
10 drops of lavender essential oil
5 drops of lemon essential oil
A pinch of dried lavender leaves
A hand full of dried (or fresh) rose petals
Pink, red, and white pillar or tea lite candles
*Directions:
The first step is to cleanse your space. I love to do a smoke cleanse with rosemary and rose petals but you can use any incense, crystals, and herbs. Step two is to start the bath water and put each of your ingredients one at a time, set your intentions for each ingredient when you drop it in the bath, and stir clockwise. When I do my intentions I usually tell myself: "I will love myself", "I am a strong woman", and "I respect my body and life" and I picture myself looking in the mirror and feeling my self-love coming back to my body. The third step is to get in the bath, take deep breaths, let the spell do its work, and keep positive and loving vibes running through your body. After you are done with the bath ritual take out any herbs or flower petals you used and discard them. Now you have finished your first full moon self-love bath ritual!
2: Self-Love Spell Jar
*Ingredients/ Materials:
Rose petals
Rosemary
Pink salt
White Sugar
Lavender
Jar
Red, pink, and white candles
*Directions:
The first step is to mix all the ingredients while setting your intention then place them in the jar. The second step is to pour candle wax over the jar with your intentions. After you get done pouring place the jar in a personal space. Shake the jar once a day while setting your intention after you feel like the spell jar worked discard it as you wish.
3: Self-Confidence Ritual
*Ingredients/Materials:
7 Taper candles- different colors each
Roses
Rosemary
Amaryllis
1cup of olive oil
An empty heat restraint container
(This spell is 1 week long; recommend starting 6 days before a full moon)
*Directions:
The first step is to select 7 colored candles representing each day of the week and put your intentions on each candle while dressing the candle with herbs and petals. I recommend picking colors that fit your personality. Step two is to light a candle at the end of each day and envision how that color represents you and your soul as you do this say your affirmation. My affirmations are "I deserve to feel happiness", "My life has a purpose and value", and "I am intelligence and strong". After the candles have burnt out you need to place them in the same container, and on the seventh day charge them under the moonlight. You can discard it after the ritual is done.
In conclusion, I hope this article inspired you to bring more self-love, confidence, assurance, and self-care to your witchy life.
