BATH SPELL FOR PROTECTION AND PURIFICATION
Steep one teaspoon of dried basil in a cup of boiling water.
Leave for five minutes, and then strain.
Add the liquid to your bath water to bring a protective and cleansing influence.
This herbal bath is particularly useful to rid oneself of the negative feelings left by contact
with those who are controlling.
A PEACE BATH
Draw a bath for yourself. Pour a tablespoon or so of milk into a large bowl of water and say:
'Water ripples on the breeze...'
Add several rose petals (fresh or dried) to the bowl of water and milk.
Say: 'Thistledown flies through the air...'
Stir the water, milk, and rose petals with the index finger of your right hand. Say:
'Silent as the mighty seas...'
Gently pour the mixture that you have created into the bath. Say:
'Peaceful here without a care.'
Step in. Bathe for as long as you wish.
Let the water absorb negative thoughts and worries. Allow yourself a few moments of healing peace.
Do the same with the mint. Rub it into the body and hair and chew on a leaf or two.
(You should be physically clean before taking this bath. Do not soap off when you're done.)
Let your body and hair air dry, now dress for your date.
The combination of orange and mint will make you irresistible!
