Baths and Body Care Recipes

Basic Body Scrub

This exfoliator works as well as the expensive, store bought ones.

The sugar is mildly anti-bacterial and helps heal minor skin irritations. The salt is an efficient body buffer, and the oatmeal soothes the skin as it gently removes dead skin cells.

Magickal ingredients include:

PLANET ELEMENT ENERGIES
OATMEAL Venus Earth Money
SUGAR Venus Water Love
SEA SALT Earth Earth Purification, Grounding, Protection

Celebration or Ritual Use : Use this scrub before initiations, anniversaries, weddings (handfastings), protection rituals, and in preparation of spells for money and love.

4 Ounces Granulated White Sugar

4 Ounces Finely Ground Sea Salt

4 Ounces Coarsely Ground Oatmeal

Mix the ingredients in a large bowl. Transfer to a jar with a screw on lid.

To use, pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and massage into dampened skin. Rinse thoroughly.

The mix is gentle enough to use everyday.

Basic Body Oil

Grape seed oil has a light texture. If used sparingly, it will not leave sticky traces on clothes. The wheat germ oil is rich in vitamin E and is a natural anti-oxidant, therefore it prevents spoilage by rancidity. They are considered "blending oils," so they have no magickal properties listed

Magickal Ingredients Include:

PLANET ELEMENT ENERGIES
LAVENDAR ESSENTIAL OIL Mercury Air Love, Protection, Purification, Peace
SANDALWOOD ESSENTIAL OIL Moon Water Protection, Love, Peace, Healing

Celebration or Ritual Use : Spring rituals for love, anniversaries. Any ritual for protection or healing
