Water Magic

After twilight, before the moon comes up glowing, with the cool night air on a January day - it's time to run a warm magical bath. We can take comfort in a heavenly bath, luxuriate in the water element. Under candle light, perhaps with rain falling outside or stars sparkling in the celestial sky, take sanctuary for the soul in a safe haven of a bathtub. Escape from the storm of the pandemic in these unusually challenging covid times. We can find hope, remedy, beauty, badass resilience and nourishment as we sink into the water - whilst the 2021 storm whistles on outside. 

Bath Magic with water is a simple spell, a ritual to step out of chaos for a short while and self soothe, to find a veil of wellbeing. Water is a spirit, an element that clears and washes away. It is therapy. Lush, milky, silky treats for the body. Take a date with yourself in the bathroom. Slow, soft, safe, wild and natural. Be a queen and goddess. 

I use rose, jasmine and lavender. I let hope spring inside, grab a glass of merlot in my ocean of calm. I soak in oils of apples, bayberry, sage, winter pine and cedar delights. I mix in salts, bewitching cherry, strawberries and tumbled stone crystals. 

Life is a blessing. Snuggle up with it. Splash in the joy. Close your eyes, harness your inner magic, be slow and just be. Be real and present, wash the troubles away. Let the water flow, immerse and let go.
