useful to witches for spells, rituals, sabbats, cleansing, and more.

Magical Love Water

Roses are beloved by many Gods and Goddesses of love.
Rose water is also useful in psychic and protection spells.
Florida Water ( Watch for bugs, snakes, lizards and alligators )
It’s been used as a perfume and cleanser for centuries and smells very clean.
Holy Water:
Ingredients:
a glass or bowl
water from a natural running source (spring, river, creek)
a pinch of salt
jar or bottle for storage
Add a pinch of salt to the water and visualize the salt acting as a mega-cleanser. It is purifying the water of all impurities.
Over the bowl of water, draw a symbol of divine power
War Water (Caution, cursing ahead)
This is possibly damaging to your karma, depending upon your use.
popular in the Hoodoo folk magic tradition in the American South.
used to remove disruptive forces from your life and restore peace
ingredients
Cut iron nails
Spanish Moss
Water (swamp water or pond water is preferable)
Place iron nails and Spanish moss into a jar of water, and cover. The jar is then allowed to sit for a period of several weeks, breathing it (opening it to allow oxygen in) occasionally to speed up the oxidation process during the first week only. The nails will rust and the moss will decompose leaving the water a red or black color and smelling very swampy. Traditionally, to use war water you would break the jar on the land, doorstep, or at your enemy’s feet, and whoever walks through it will have the curse laid upon them. If breaking a glass jar on someones porch seems a bit much to you, however, there are other ways of using it. The spell works just as well if you simply pour the war water out on their land or, alternatively, you can sprinkle it around the outside perimeter of your own land as a preemptive protective measure.
Historically, I didn’t find too much information as to dates but most of these special waters are very old.
As far as involving the gods? If it’s raining I pray, Please Goddess, make it stop!
In the north and it’s snowing…again! Please, Goddess, make it stop!
Otherwise, you roll the ‘bones’ and take what you get!
That’s it for me this week kids. Have a good week.
