I was thinking of using the We All Come From The Goddess Chant, but maybe I can write something. Weāll see.
Silver Bear,
I just wanted to say how much LOVE I feel coming from this space. I just wanted to tell you I got a spark of in my heart that is warm and sweet. I am glad to have a person that is of LOVE that gives me the desire to want to give my love back! This was a wonderful intention. This will be a great give away!
THANK YOU YOU LOVE BEAR! I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG!

Heres a few crystals to work with that are water safe. If youāre not comfortable with having them physically in the water thats okay you donāt have to! Having them sitting on the ledge of the tub or a side table still works and will have the same effect.
- Amethyst
- Rose Quartz
- Citrine
- Clear Quartz
- Tiger Eye
- Aventurine
Hereās my entry for this weekās challenge:
I mixed sea salt (purification), lavender essential oil, loose lavender (calming), an amethyst and rose quartz (for the calming and self love properties).
I started the water, set the crystals in the bath. Ran the warm water over the bath mixture and I said " Under the waxing moon light, I ask that these calming properties grant me a good night." ( Quick and easy lol)
I lowered myself into the water and closed my eyes and imagined laying in a field of lavender just smiling and being so relaxed. After I was finshed, I used the remaining ingredients for compost outside where my garden would be (bc itās way too cold in NY to have anything grow properly).
I thanked the Universe and I slipped under the covers, said a prayer and fell off to wonderland.
Hereās my entry for this weekās challenge!
Rub-a-dub-dub, a fat woman in the tubā¦ Just kidding!
Seriously, hereās my new Shower Chant. Itās just two lines long, so I can remember it in the shower.
Water, water, take down the drain,
All my illnesses and my pain.
Hope thatās enough for the challenge, I just donāt dare use herbs and when I tried getting in there while a crystal I knocked it off the ledge. And salt is not going anywhere near me until I get my boo-boos sorted. LOL.
All that dirt donāt hurt
Because know I can sing
I feel clean
It feels like a dream!
I am new again
Ready to put my armor on again
Today I let go of all the uncertainty
Tomorrow I can sing
Today I let go of all my anxiety and fears and tears!
Jeannie
Blessed be!
I went and picked up some Lavender salts from Safeway so I could have a cleansing bath. I didnāt do a chant, but I would like to try that next time. My bath was taken after a long session on wow so it was somewhat enchanting. I almost fell asleep in the tub. Looking back on this, another thing I shouldāve done was light a candle nearby. Oh well though. I came out afterwards and went straight into bed for a nap and had a nice little sleep. Thanks for reading.
Thanks Kassie your chant is do amazing !!!
Love your guts girl you are good all the time!!

Thank you, darling! Iām glad you like it. Iām trying to take care of my legs, Iām going to the doctor with them again today. Blah. I hate going to the doctor but itās a must.
Hello my lovelies!
I had an absolutely GORGEOUS milky moon bath last night!
- 2-3 cups of milk added to the hot running water
- Honey (Iāll guess a few tablespoons worth? - I just squidged it from the bottle)
- Rose essential oil
- Rosemary essential oil
- Rose petals
- Fresh rosemary leaves
- White candle
- Moonstones and rose quartz on the edge for some added crystal magic
Swishswishswish
Soaked in there for ages - it was absolutely divine! My skin was so darn soft afterwards!
Whilst in the tub I had a little chanting and meditation moment with my crystals and candle (I wrote this before I jumped in as Iād never remember it otherwise):
"Beautiful Goddess Moon above,
Shining and Glowing, full of Love,
My Mother Moon, so full and bright,
Help me, hear my wish tonightā¦
(at which point I meditated on my wishes of love, peace and happiness)
By the North, the East, the South and West,
May this wish now manifest.
By the Earth, the Air, the Fire, the Sea,
and Mother Moon, So Mote it be."
I had to really perform some kind of acrobatic contortionist stuff to get to see her from my window - but I caught a glimpse just before the fog hit!
A song has been in my head this week while showering. It isnāt a spell but there is a chorus that I have been repeating as many of my friends and I go through end of the year struggles. Itās from a Christian group but I donāt sing the whole song, just the chorus and I thought I would share that here.
Iām ready for the rain.
Iām ready for the chance to grow.
Itās those showers from above,
that make the rivers flow.
Iām ready for the rain.
Iām going to face the storms head on.
Though they drive me to my knees,
thatās where Iām made strong.
Iām ready for the rain.
Cancer is my sign and water is itās element. All of my life I have been drawn to water and itās power to create life, take life, carve canyons, and wash away dirt. It is used for divination, for rituals in all sorts of faiths, and cleaning things.
Ancient cultures talked of water flowing from heavenly mountains to fill the lands with every good thing. Only the highest gods had such power. When I worship The Lady, I remember water is both chaos and wisdom used to order the chaos. So I routinely pray to her when in the shower.
This week I have remembered the chorus of that song when doing spell work of any kind, but especially when in the shower. So many are struggling so I have performed many spells for them and for me. I even lit a blue candle in the bathroom to run while in the shower. Since it runs for 2.5 hours, and I have a water bill, I will run it again and again during showers throughout December as a reminder of this challenge and the experiences and knowledge all my friends on here shared this past week.
@Amethyst Thatās perfect! I have been taking soaking baths for two days trying to ease the pain in my leg and hip from an old injury. I even did and Egg Cleanse in case it was something else. It was normal.
I like this chantā¦ I can do thatā¦ this morning I was singing to myself an old hymn. Anything to draw on that higher power.
That first one is certainly appropriate for me tooā¦ LOL
Iāve decided that tomorrow is the day for my magically refreshing shower. I could use it after the holiday and weekend following. Today was a particularly tough day, so taking some time for myself tomorrow.
Beautiful sounding bath @Limeberry! Milk and honey is always a good start.
Nice song, @praecog29! I bet itās one of those that get stuck in your head.
Youāre welcome @berta! I hope it helps you out!
I hope a good long shower helps you @Susurrus! Canāt hurt.
It is a catchy chorus. Iām thankful the coven is open to my āChristianā/Wiccan syncretism.
On a completely random note, and I hope I donāt take us too far off course, youāve got to see my shower head. All of my friends have to deal with my idiosyncrasies.
That was me yesterday. Sunday was terrible, after a decent three days off with family before then. I needed the ritual shower to help me. I hope you get the relaxation and peace you so richly deserve.
BTW, thank you, @BryWisteria, for the excellent timing of this challenge. I imagine many of us needed this with the hectic holiday season.
Thank you Trace Witch you inspired me! Thanks everyone love u all! Have a blessed blessed day!
Jeannie
Limberry thatās tight! I absolutely love ur moon bath!
Way to go girl!
