Recipe for Holy Water

-taken from "To Ride a Silver Broomstick" by Silver RavenWolf with some minor changes by me.

Items Needed:

• 1 tsp rose water (can be purchased at any occult store)
• 3 tbsp sea salt or Kosher salt
• 1 sm. bowl spring water
• 1 clean glass container
• 1 new compact mirror
• 1 sm storage bottle

Timing:

Should be performed at night outside, under the full moon, or inside by a window when the moon can be seen.

-Cleanse and sterilize bowl and container with boiling water.

-Insure that you have total privacy during preparation.

-Take 5 or 6 deep breaths to relieve stress of the day.

-Cast a simple circle:

-Hold your arms in the Goddess position (arms outstretched toward the sky and feet separated), and say:

"In the cloak of the midnight hour
I call upon the Ancient Power.
I seek the presence of the Lady and Lord
to bless this water that I will pour."

-Feel the energy of the Goddess and God move about your feet and head. Feel your own energy expand around your navel and then unite with Divinity.

-Add the rose water to the spring water.

-Pick up the water and hold it to the moon and say:

"In my hands I hold the essence of the Gods.
I hereby cleanse and consecrate this wter to Divinity,
that it may be used for positive acts only
and may aid me in my magickal work."

-Feel the energy of the Moon Goddess pulsate down into the water. Imagine her silver light descending from teh heavens and impregnating both the water and yourself. You will feel a 'glowy' sensation.

-Set the water down and pick up the salt. Feel the power rising in your arms as you lift the salt to the moon. Say:

"In my hands I hold the essence of the Earth Mother,
she whose beauty sustains all living creatures.
I hereby cleanse and concecrate this salt to Divinity,
that it may be used for positive acts only
and may aid me in my magickal acts."

-As with the water, imagine the energy of the Goddess emmpowering the salt.

-Set the salt down and pour a little into the bowl of water, and stir clockwise 3 times.

-Repeat this process 2 more times.

-With the bowl in your left hand and the mirror in your right (reverse this if you are left-handed), reflect the light of the moon off the mirror and into the bowl. After a few minutes, say:

"This liquid is now pure and dedicated to the Lord and Lady.
It is free from all negativity in any time and any space."

-Set the bowl and mirror down and hold both of yor hands, palms down, over the bowl, about one inch above the water.

-Let the vibrations of your body come alive. Open your third eye chakra (if you don't know what this is, just imagine a third eye opening in the center of your forehead), and imagine a glowing purple light emanating from it. Form an open triangle with your hands over the water and project the light into it. In your mind, see the water change color and glow. Feel the power and energy flow from your head down through your arms and up from you feet adn out from your arms simultaneously. When you feel teh energy begin to dissipate, slowly lower your hands and say:

"As I will, So mote it be.
With the free will of all and harm to none,
This formula is done!"

-Ground your energy and you are done!
