The ritual bath is important to signal your subconscious mind to get to work. The bath helps you let go of negativity and distracting thoughts and focus your mind.
It gives you the opportunity to reflect on your self and your intentions. Time in the bath is also enjoyable and refreshing!
You should take a ritual bath before you do any formal ritual, especialy magick, to make sure you don't have any negative energy stuck on you. Use the ritual bath to reflect, meditate, get grounded and connect with deity.
To prepare your ritual bath, put essensial oil and/or herbs in the water. Use only a few drops of oil, because you want only a subtle essence of scent.
CAUTION - Be careful with pure essential oils - they can burn your skin if not diluted properly.
Choose your herbs and oils based on your personal preference or on the kind of ritual or magick you plan to do.
When you feel ready, get up slowly. As you are stepping out of the water, let go of any negativity. Imagine it has stayed in the water and that you are letting it flow down the drain away from you.
This way when you emerge from the tub, you will be cleansed physically and mentally. Put on your clean robe or clothes, and you are ready for ritual.
