Self-care spells for Spring
Some people run a bubble bath and wear a face mask. Some like a long walk in nature. For some it’s a delicious meal and a favourite TV show.
But what if you want to give your self-care a bit of a witchy touch? These self-care spells are perfect…
Cleansing Spell
This one is for when you’re feeling drained, spiritually or energetically. It’s great for those days where it’s cool enough outside to want a warm bath, too!
What you need:
- White candles
- Sage (dried or fresh)
- Epsom salts
- Peppermint essential oil
- A clear quartz
Light your candles and add the other ingredients to your bath water. Peppermint oil helps to reverse a negative mental state and regain mental clarity, while sage is used to build and heal emotional strength. Clear quartz also enhances mental clarity and is always useful in restorative and protective work.
Healing Spell
Good sleep is an essential part of caring for yourself – when we’re tired, it’s difficult to do any of the things that bring us peace and joy.
What you need:
- An amethyst
- Chamomile
- Lavender
- A white candle
- A small bag or pouch
Blend the chamomile and lavender while visualising restful, energising sleep. Put the herbs in the pouch and place in front of the candle, laying the amethyst on top. Light the candle and say out loud your intention to sleep well, deeply, and for the whole night. Sit for a moment watching the candle flame, breathing deeply and letting your body relax.
Blow out the candle, place the pouch under your pillow and the amethyst beside your bed. Settle down and sleep beautifully.
Energising Spell
Sometimes we need to infuse our space with the things we need so that we can breathe them in and absorb them. This one is great for gaining energy in a way that’s restorative and beneficial.
What you need:
- A large pot
- Water
- Lemon oil
- Bergamot oil
- Ginseng or rosemary
Place all of your ingredients in the pot and put on the hob/stove. Bring it to a gentle simmer – you don’t want it to boil but you do want the steam and scent to rise. Stir the mixture clockwise and visualise the steam as positive energy rising up to surround you.
