Hi just wanted to share a recipe i made for Self-love and protection . To me personally, self-love, protection and banishing negative energy go hand-in-hand especially when things are taking a toll on us spiritually and mentally, so of course protection a major part, but sometimes we forget we need to show ourselves self-love to ensure we can rid of that lingering negative energy. So with out a further a do, here is my own recipe i made which has incorporated two different rituals.
Self-love, protection and banishing negative energy bath ritual
You will need:
Small bag (to hold contents)
Blue, black and white candle (white representing positive energy, blue representing self-love, and black representing protection. Can be tealight or if not available 3 white candles work)
*Any Bath salt (i used a brand called Epzen- Calm soak which are magnesium bath flakes infused with essential oils: Patchouli- representing love, geranium- representing calming and balance, and lavender- representing healing, purification and psychic protection)
Dried rose petals (self-love and beauty)
Dried rue (protection)
Rosemary (protection)
Dried Chamomile (healing, love and beauty)
The sources i used and edited are:

If you are feeling a little unforgiving to yourself, he followng chant can be used:
Element of water, please lend you help,
And assist me to forgive myself.
Elements of fire and of air,
Help me aee i deserve forgiveness and care.
Elements of spirit and of earth,
Hold me safe as i discover my worth.
From the mistake i made, i vow i’ll grow,
So self-firgiveness can now flow!
I remember those days! It’s hard with kids to get any alone time. Now that it’s just me and my boyfriend and the dog and cat I have plenty of alone, quiet time.
I think that’s my boyfriends issue too. He hasn’t said it out loud, but I think it scares him just a little. . He knows I do hexes, but I have told him I would never hex him. Not sure he believes me. Lol
A lovely bath blend, and I really like the chant too! I hope you enjoyed your self-care time and that the positive energy continues to flow for you. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I usually substitute when the ingredient list is short. But in this case, between the candles, salts, and herbs, there are so many things. I’m happy to skip.
Your welcome and can you believe it or not, i haven’t found the time to even take a bath yet as i started my studies this week and it has been a lot to take in on top of my family commitments and karate commitments to, but i will defiantly find the time and by then i would have needed it badly
I think ours is only meant to fit one person, too. Only one of us can have our shoulders under the water at a time, so we usually just sit at opposite ends and try not to stab each other too much with our toes.
But it’s worth the Tetris-ing to sit there and read together. Especially with candles lit, too. My partner loves them more than I do while having a bath now.
The toes part got me lol But i am sure you can make it work I always imagined having a bath like how they do in the movies where there is a wide deep tub and the couples can sit back to back but trust me that is the biggest lie unless you have that type of tub because years back i tried in this tub and is was not only awkward, but i felt so unattractive with my belly poking out (Mind you i was 113kg back then and my hubby was chubbier too
I must be watching all the wrong movies because I’ve never seen that. But that would have to be a huge tub.
I remember, during our trip to Japan, there was one hotel where we had a spa bath kind of tub that would have fit four people. But that’s the only time I’ve ever been in a tub where it didn’t take Tetris moves to fit more than one person.
For sure, as always movies exaggerate things where everything is perfect… Until i see it in real life i dont believe in massive bath tubs in real life maybe as you said
