• Saying a chant over it
• Asking the moon to bless your water with her magick or Asking the sun to bless your water with his magick.
• Whatever feels right to you in the moment is the best way to invite the energy to infuse your water.
- Other Magickal Waters -
Storm Water is water that’s been collected from a thunderstorm. This magickal water has been charged with all the powerful energy of the storm from which it came. The lightning, thunder, wind and pressure have all added their energy to the storm water. Use to super-charge your water magic spells.
Snow Water is water that was collected in snow form that has melted. Many witches collect a bit of snow from the first snow of the season, then store it in a jar to use throughout the year. It has all the magickal properties of the element of water, with the added properties of ice.
It can be used to “chill” out a chaotic situation or angry person. Bathe in it to cleanse negative vibrations and bring peace to yourself. Snow water is a magickal water that also holds transformation properties (i.e. water has been transformed into a solid form, then back again).
Holy Water has different definitions depending on the religion and individual. In Catholicism, holy water is a magickal water that’s been blessed by a religious official. Its used in baptisms and spiritual cleansing. Holy water in witchcraft means any water charged with pure magical intent. Holy water is used in witchcraft to cleanse and consecrate tools and your own energy, in baths, sprays and home cleansing rituals. It is charged with pure divine energy and therefore carries healing, purifying, and strengthening powers.
Rose Water A magickal water that’s been infused with the essence of roses is called rose water. Rose water is popular in many magickal traditions including hoodoo and has been used as medicinal headache relief in years past. There are different ways to make rose water, but the more traditional involves infusing the rose essence into water via heat.
Florida Water is a magical water that’s not an actual water, but a combination of essential oils mixed with a solvent. It originates in Florida and was inspired by the fabled Fountain of Youth which was supposedly located somewhere in the state. It’s been used as a perfume and cleanser for centuries, but magickal people have caught onto its cleansing power. Bathe in Florida Water on a New Moon to cleanse away negativity. Anoint your altar and tools with it. Bless your home.
War Water Similar to Florida water, war water is popular in the Hoodoo folk magic tradition in the
American South. War water is used to send someone far away, to essentially end a “war”, so to speak (or begin one). Traditionally, the war water is made by placing nails, spanish moss, and water in a bottle then allowing it to sit for a few weeks. The nails will rust and the war water will turn a red or murky color. Then the practitioner throws it at a person’s door, porch or property. The jar breaks to release the war water’s magick.
- Using Your Magickal Water -
Once you have your magickal water you can use it for all manner of witchery.
• Add a few drops to your bath water for a magickal moon/sun bath.
• Use it to wash or rinse your hair as part of a glamour working.
• Bless or anoint yourself, your home, and/or magickal items (tools, crystals, jewelry, etc)
• You can use it to represent the Goddess (moon) or God (sun) on your altar.
• Bless and/or water your Witch's Garden to add lunar/solar influences to your magickal space.
• If you have/use a diffuser or humidifier you can add the magickal water to transform any area into a magickal space.
• Add magickal water to leftover incense ash, and mix it together for a potent magickally charged 'paint' for drawing sigils and magickal symbols.
• You can even drink a few sips or add a few drops of this magickal potion to your tea or regular water to Ingest the energy of the Moon and the Goddess or the Sun and the God.
- Storing Your Magickal Water -
Be sure to label your magickal water with the date, moon phase/sun time, and if you know it, the astrological sign that the moon/sun was in at the time.
Many choose to store their Magickal Water in a dark place so as not to dissipate the magick contained, allowing only lunar/solar energy to ever ‘touch’ it. Some even wrap it with a magickal cloth or meaningful scarf so that it stays in the dark.
You can always store it in the back of the refrigerator. Keep in mind though that the back of the fridge is often the coldest, so if you do choose to store your Water in the fridge but sure not to fill it all the way to the top. Leave some room for expansion should the water get cold enough to partially freeze.
I hope this has helped you with all the information you need for the use of water within your witchcraft. Blessed Be
The Wonky Witch
