A HEALING BATH
Take a lit silver or white candle, some salt, and a healing oil (such as carnation, violet,
sandalwood, or narcissus) into the bathroom. By the candle's light run a tub of very warm water.
Cast some salt into it, add a few drops of healing oil, and then step into the tub.
Relax. Feel the warm salted water sinking into your pores, through your skin, sterilizing the
sick portions of your body. Visualize the 'black worms' leaving it, if you wish, and when you
feel the water teeming with them pull the plug and let the water drain out. While it is draining, chant:
The sickness is flowing out of me,
Into the water, down to the sea.
Only when the tub is completely drained stand up. It is best to immediately splash your body with
fresh water (a shower is ideal) to remove the last vestiges of the disease of sickness-laden water.
Repeat as needed to speed your body's recovery.
BATH SPELL FOR NEGATIVITY
Place 1/2 cup vinegar, a bunch of fresh rue and 1 tablespoon of salt in your bath.

Feel the warm salted water sinking into your pores, through your skin, sterilizing and

entering the water. When you feel that the sickness has entered the water,
pull the plug and let the water drain out. Stay in the bath while it is draining and chant:
The sickness flows out of me,
Into the water, into the sea.

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...'

'Peaceful here without a care.'

Let the water absorb negative thoughts and worries. Allow yourself a few moments of healing peace.
