Different Ways to Use Waters within Your Witchcraft

• Rituals
• Spellcraft
• Water Energy
• Elemental Energy
• Cleansing
• Relaxing
• Rejuvenating
Water is often thought of as the most essential of the Elements for sustaining life. Humans, animals and plant life cannot live without it. Before the construction of roads, water provided humans with the most efficient way of travel, and this is still widely performed on Earth today.
Associated with the Moon, psychic abilities, dreams and emotions, the Water Element is a shape-shifter, moving easily throughout the world by following the path of least resistance.
It can exist as a solid in the form of ice, or as tiny particles of gas in the air. It takes the form of puddles after rain, only to disappear again in the sunshine. Water is a great traveller itself as it flows in our seas and down our rivers, sits in our lakes and travels through the sky creating our clouds and rainfall. When it rains, I often wonder where this water has been from around the world? What has it seen & felt as its transformed from solid to gas then back to liquid again?.
Water is represented by lakes, streams, rivers, oceans, and rain. It’s very beneficial in its cleansing, purifying, healing and nourishing qualities.
Yet it does have a destructive side when it manifests as stormy seas and great tsunamis, floods and severe rainstorms. The Water Element is powerful when interacting with the other elements, as it can extinguish Fire, flood the Earth and combine with Air to corrode and dissolve metals. Generally speaking however, Water is one of the more soothing Elements when it comes to the human spirit.
Connecting with the Energy of Water
One of the nicest ways to enhance your energetic connection with the Element of Water is to go swimming! Natural bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, ponds, the ocean are ideal, but swimming pools also work well. Take a moment to notice how
you feel before, during, and after your time in the water and you’ll get a good sense of the power of this Element. If swimming isn’t an option, take a soothing bath or refreshing shower, noticing the way the water feels on your skin.
Make a point of appreciating the water you drink, giving thanks for its life-sustaining properties. Take a walk in the rain or just listen to the sound of it falling outside your window. You can also play recordings of ocean waves, bubbling brooks, rainfall or thunderstorms to get the essence of Water flowing in your life. Finally, soaking in a ritual bath before celebrating Sabbats and Esbats, or before magical work always enhances your personal power.
- Moon Water -
Moon water is water that is charged by the energy of the moon. Preferably a full moon or supermoon, where the energy is heightened. Making full moon water can be a monthly tradition in your home and magickal practice, which you can literally use for everything, from attracting abundance, spiritual cleansing, bathing, cooking and also drinking.
- Solar Water -
A great deal of emphasis is placed on the moon in modern witchcraft.
Many nights we gaze up at the twilight and wait for the wavering, milky white lunar body to appear so that we might harness its power.
This cycle of the moon as an anchoring symbol in spell work is so ingrained in our thinking that we tend to forget the sun’s energy can be used in a similar way.
Solar Water is highly charged water to use in spells calling for ego, honor, dignity, power, and pride.
If you have spells to increase your self-confidence, improve your leadership abilities and increase your vitality, using Solar Water to enhance these types of spellcraft is perfect.
Just as the sun brings so much life to the earth, Solar Water breathes new life into spells used, which incorporate this powerful water. You can of course drink this water to help bring vitality and strength to your wellbeing. Use the Solar Water like you would Moon Water but in the opposite way to bring extra fiery charge to your workings.
- Selecting Your Magickal Vessel -
First, you will want to select a vessel to hold your magickally charged water. It will need to be able to seal completely, and it is best if it is made of glass. Your vessel can be any color you like.
