You may not think of your bathroom as a very magickal place, or a place to do spells other than Ritual Bathing. Check out my previous post about the Bathroom and see some ideas and tips for thinking of your bathroom as a sacred space (along with tips for cleaning it)
One type of magick that is perfect for the bathroom is Banishing. As this is where we quite literally wash away dirt and grime, and ermmm... "release waste and toxins" from the body, we already have subconsciously related the bathroom to Banishing. Let's bring that correspondence to our conscious mind and utilize this space for some magick!
- Pretty obviously, you can set the intention to banish or release stress and negativity every time you wash your hands and face or take a shower or bath. You could even choose a soap that is infused with an oil or herb with banishing qualities and bless that soap with the intention of removing negativity every time you use it. You can find soaps or face washes with Aloe, Blackberry, Cedar, Cinnamon, Clove, Coconut, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemon, Lime, Peppermint, Raspberry, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Tumeric, and Witchhazel - all of these have banishing properties as well as benefits for the skin!
- For washing away a bad habit, get a bar of soap and carve the name of the bad habit deeply into the soap. Use the soap every day during a waning moon cycle and as the words carved in the soap fade so will your bad habit. (intention and willpower are also important here!) When the words have faded completely, throw the remaining soap away.
- Detox - find some bath salts, face mask, or body mud that have detoxifying properties. As you use these products, visualize the product not only drawing toxins out of your skin - but drawing out negativity and stress too. Light some candles and bring some gemstones in your bathroom that absorb negativity - like Obsidian, Onyx, or Black Agate. (check out these awesome detox bath and skin products!)
- Flush it! For a quick banishing spell, write down what you want to banish on some toilet paper. Examples; "stress", "debt", "illness", "depression". Sprinkle some banishing herbs or spices on the toilet paper, wad it up and Flush it down the toilet! This can be really empowering as you visualize your problem being flushed away. Add some power by saying,
"Problem of mine, you cannot stay
Problem be gone, flushed away!"
