From time to time we all need to cleanse our sacred space where we connect to spirits and the divine. When this happens for myself, I brew up a little something I like to call Séance Water. This water is meant to cleanse surfaces or mirrors that are used in divination or any type of trance. It keeps your area cleansed of physical and spiritual dirt while simultaneously allowing the good woo woo back in. Here’s how you can make some:
I like to start off with a nice cast iron cauldron or dutch oven. If you don’t have one that’s okay. Put your cauldron on the stove and add the following:
2 cups water
¼ cup vinegar (I like to use apple cider vinegar)
1tsp lemon juice
1tbs dried mugwort
1tsp dried juniper berry
¼ cup dried rose petal
Once you have these ingredients in your cauldron, you want to just warm them up. Don’t boil them as this isn’t good for cast iron, just heat them on low for about ten minutes. I like to give them a good stir at this time and make sure my herbs are being blended into the mixture. Once it’s warm remove from heat and add 7 drops of Rosemary essential oil and 7 drops of Cypress essential oil. This step is optional of course.
Let the mixture cool some and then strain (or don’t) into a bowl, jar, or spray bottle where you can easily distribute the mixture onto a wash cloth. Saturate your wash cloth in the potion and cleanse away all of those spiritual, and physical, nasties. I find that this solution works wonderful on highly, let’s say used, surfaces and mirrors. Once the surface is clean, allow to air dry.
You of course have the ability to change or substitute any of the listed ingredients. I would say only that I never like to use salt or white sage in my Séance water or any cleansing solution that is for dealing with objects connected to my spirit guides. We wouldn’t want them to leave forever, now would we?
