Empath Bath Salts
When you’ve spent the day bathed in other people’s energy, it can be good to take a relaxing bath of your own. I created this bath salts recipe as a way of detoxing, uplifting and centering one’s self.
I started with Dr. Teal’s Eucalyptus Epsom Salts, because that’s what I had on hand. Otherwise, I could’ve picked up plain Epsom Salts at a dollar store. Use whatever you have on hand.
Ingredients:
Epsom Salts Basil Mint Frankincense oil Lemongrass oil (the best part)
This blend of herbs and oils is meant to cleanse you of negative energy, uplift your mood, and center your mind.
It comes out with an amazing sent. So good!
**Great for non-Empaths as well :-)
A little beauty-bath spell I made the other day!! Super quick and simple.
Ingredients: ½ cup of Epsom salts ½ cup of sea salt 1tbsp of cinnamon 4 drops of pure vanilla extract A pinch of dried rosemary A handful of shredded rose petals
As you mix the ingredients, picture yourself becoming a goddess. Repeat to yourself that you are beautiful and strong.
Soak in this bath for as long as you please and you’ll be feeling like a goddess in no time!!
Goddess Glamour Bath
If you want to look stunning - and I mean head-turning, Helen of Troy, most-beautiful-person-they’ve-ever-seen stunning then do I have a spell for you. This spell was first made by the two of us, and it turned out far more successful than we could have imagined.
The primarily magical crux of the spell lies in the bath salt mixture, which should be made by (your) hand for best results.
Combine in a mortar and pestle:
- A handful of sea salt
- A handful of epsom salts
- 3 crushed up dried red rose petals
- Essential oil of sweet orange
- Essential oil of rose
- Essential oil of jasmine
- Some (body safe!) glitter
- A dash of cinnamon
Grind together while envisioning your intent (which is to become a goddess incarnate).
For the spell itself, you will need:
- The salts you just made
- Several gold, pink or white candles
- Items you find pretty
- Dragon’s Blood incense
- A small mirror
- Lotion you like
- A great, empowering, playlist (optional)
Practical Steps to Bathing Yourself of Unwanted Energies
Hygiene is VERY important in order to stay clear & centered in our own optimal energies. For those of you who are ultra sensitive, there are several things you MUST do after being in a stressful environment. The first thing to do is to wash your hands or if you are able to you are to bathe. If you are unable to bathe at the time that you are feeling overwhelmed, you may do so at the end of your day in the privacy of your home bathroom. (If you’re at work, even putting your hands under running water in the bathroom, as you visualize stress leaving your body from your hands & washing down into the earth, which can cleanse & transmute the energy.)
One of the best ways to healthfully & easily clear our energy fields from unwanted influences, is to take a salt bath, or use a salt scrub in a shower. Use natural sea salt & not iodized table salt & use anywhere from ½ cup to a pound of salt in your bath. You may also use epsom salts or dead sea salts or a good land salt.
If you’re an energy healer, or even if you’re not, taking a bath a couple of times a week is a game changer!

Bath/Candle Witchery

Abitwitchy’s Bath Bag
Materials:
-1 coffee filter
- string or a rubber band
- basil
-rosemary
-cloves
-sage
-sea salts or bath salts
Instructions:
1. Flatten out coffee filter
2. Put herbs and salts in the center of the coffee filter. For salts, I used pink Himalayan sea salt, but as it said in the materials list, I sometimes use actual bath salts. Here’s a picture because it’s a really aesthetically pleasing step.
3. Carefully pull up the edges, try to keep everything inside the filter, and make it into a little bundle around the ingredients, binding it at the top with the string or rubber band. String looks prettier, but it’s easier to bind it with a rubber band and there’s less of a chance of stuff slipping out while it’s in the bath.
Here’s a picture of the final product.
Now just stick this baby in the bath and relax! It’s kind of like a tea bag for a bath. It helps bring luck, strength, and beauty, as well as cleanses/purifies and drives away negative energy. Hope you enjoy!
How To Relieve Post-Workout Strain, Tired Muscles & Overall Stress
Free People writes:
We all live with our own aches and pains. A twinge here, a pulled muscle there. Some of us more than others. Personally, I look upon the able-kneed with a great deal of envy, my own lower joints nearly spent after years of cross country running, skiing, snowboarding, track, lifting and general living of life. You’d think that, after two decades of dealing with joint pain and flareups, I would have learned by now how to take the time for a little self care post-workout. Learning to slow down can be a slow process, but a new workout routine this fall led me to discover my latest obsession, one that’s put an entirely new spin on restorative post-gym recovery: Epsom salt soaks.
Now, I’ve never been much of a bath person, always preferring the speed and efficiency of showers over a long soak, but Epsom salts are truly a cure all and worth, well, sitting around in a tub for. Contrary to the name, Epsom salt is not actually a salt at all, but a naturally occurring mineral compound made up of magnesium and sulfate. These two materials (a chemical element and a polyatomic anion, respectively) are readily absorbed through the skin, reducing inflammation, aiding in the absorption of nutrients, easing migraines and flushing toxins from the system (to name but a few of their many benefits). Along with soothing tired, achy muscles and reducing muscular inflammation, Epsom salts can boost your mood and ease stress by replenishing your body’s magnesium levels, which helps produce serotonin and lessen the effects of adrenaline.
While Epsom salts work beautifully on their own, for this simple and effective DIY beauty treatment, I’ve paired them up with a few other stress-relieving, mood-boosting ingredients:
Love/Beauty/Sleep/Relaxation/Healing Bath Potion
Things to add (optional)
Lavender in oil form or flowers
Rose Petals
3 cups of Epsom salts or general bath salts like dead sea but I love Epsom salts
Crushed Frankincense
Marjoram oil or flowers to relax muscles
Orange Oil
Cup of Milk and Some honey (Egyptians used milk in their baths)
Cup of Crystal Charged rain or spring water (Rose quartz, Amethyst, Clear Quartz
Make sure you only use a few drops of the oils and do not apply directly to the skin

Violation Bath Salts
This Bath Salt Recipe is made especially for anyone who has felt violated, experienced anything that crossed their personal boundaries or challenged their autonomy. It is made to cleanse the user of any feeling of violation or memory of someone else’s hands or eyes upon them.
We are sharing this spell in hopes that it will offer healing and peace for its users.
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Epson Salts
- Baking Soda
- Basil for Courage & Protection
- Eucalyptus for Healing & Repair

Mix the ingredients together, add to a warm bath. Visualize the salt dissolving away the dead skin from your body, and the negative memories being sloughed off with the old skin. Where your skin becomes soft you are renewed. Envision the herbs and oils settling over your skin and infusing it with its power. The dead skin is gone, you are new, clean and strengthened.
Repeat as necessary, or use with Violation Salt Scrub.
