How to do a full Uncrossing ritual bath

1 Reply

This is a guide to one way to do an Uncrossing bath ritual.
For this ritual you will need
2 small white candles
A bathtub
A mixture for Uncrossing
Water
A cup or small tub
Uncrossing oil

Extras (may not may not be optional)
A cooking pot, medium to large in size

The first step is preparing the bath mixture. If you are using a mix of herbs, such as a 13 herb bath, you will need to steep the herbs, like a tea, and you will also want to strain out the herbs before adding the herb infused water into the bath. A simple muslin sack, or putting the herbs into a cheese cloth and making a sachet with it is quite effective. A medium to large cooking pot can be used to heat the water and steep the herbs.
If you have a different mixture that will quickly dissolve in water, then you can skip this part.

There are many bath mixtures. Some are purely herbs, others might be pure water soluble minerals, like a mixture of salts and soda. Some can be a combination of both. A simple way to make your own is to pick three herbs for Uncrossing, any three, and just use that. Or pick three minerals, or a combination of 3 items.
Here are some suggestions
1) mint, eucalyptus, hyssop
2) Rue, Nettle, Verbena
3) Salt, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda
4) Salt, Epsom Salt, Blueing
5) Hyssop, Pine, Eucalyptus

Draw the water in the bathtub. Use a comfortable temperature. As the water fills in, you should add the bath mixture.
As the bath continues to fill, take your two white candles, and anoint them with Uncrossing oil. Place these candles at opposite ends of the bath, so that you step between them when you get into the bath. Light the candles.

You should have your cup or small tub with you, possibly sitting on the ledge of the tub (away from the candles, but not in your way). Disrobe and get into the bathtub.

Now, while you are in the bathtub, here is a question of what you do. In a Christian tradition, you would recite a prayer related to your work. If you have been cursed, it is common to use Psalm 37. If you are seeking purification, it is common to use Psalm 51. You can also use Psalm 23 for just about any purpose.
If you are not a Christian, what should you use? Well, you can still use the Psalms if you want. If that is really contrary to you, then there are some other options.
If you are familiar with spiritual energy work, there are many practices which involve cleansing your spiritual channels and centers, your aura, etc. You can do that while in the bathtub.

If you are a really old school occultist, this would be the time to attempt the bathing ritual from the Greater Key of Solomon. I am not going to write that all down, when a perfectly good website describes it all, clearly. Just google “Key of Solomon Concerning the baths” and go to the website named Esoteric Archives. If that doesn’t show up in the first page of searches, I don’t know what to tell you.

This is also where you could write your own incantations for curse removal and spiritual cleansing.
An affirming declaration of “I am clean, clear, whole and restored” repeated regularly while sitting in the bath can do the job.
You could also combine all of these methods in any way and get a very good Uncrossing.

When you feel you are finished, take that cup or tub, and take some water from the bathtub. Set it aside, and get out of the tub. Let the water drain away.  Allow yourself to air dry. This can be assisted by going on putting on fresh clean underwear and underclothing. The clothing will absorb the water, and then rapidly dry out from your body heat. You can also turn on a heater or a hair dryer if it’s really cold and you want the extra warmth. If the weather is hot and dry, just stand in front of a fan and you will be dry in no time.

Finish getting dressed in clean, fresh clothing, and then take that cup of water and go outside. Find a large, healthy tree, and while facing East, pour the water out onto the tree. A Christian would “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” while doing so. Another person can just say “SO IT IS”. Once you dump the water, turn around and walk away without looking back.
For truly best results, I highly recommend doing the whole bath before sunrise so that when you are dumping the water on the tree, it is sunrise, or shortly thereafter.

You will also get very good results repeating this ritual bath several times. Especially if you have been crossed a long time ago and are finally removing it, or it was a very nasty and fast acting curse. A very bad situation might require a full lunar month of ritual baths, with only short breaks during the full and dark moons.
3 days can be enough for more simple issues like an unexplained streak of bad luck
7 is good if you have strong evidence that someone has cursed/crossed you.

If you want to really commit to doing magic, spells, and rituals, I highly recommend taking up a practice of regular, monthly, Uncrossing ritual baths. I personally did such baths every Saturday for many, many years. It has brought a lot of positive changes in myself and in my life.

Planetary Magic of the Moon

For this spell, you will need:

Two 1st Pentacle of the Moon from the Key of Solomon
Two keys
Water from 3 or 7 different sources
A clear glass bottle or jar that can hold quart to a gallon of water
Two large clear glass cups or clear glass bowls.
Master Key Oil

The first step is to collect the water for the spell. At a minimum you should get water from a minimum of 3 different sources. They can come from natural sources, or holy water from a church. They can all be similar, like spring water from different springs, or different sources, like river water, spring water, rain water etc… You can also get all holy water from different churches. 

Once you have your waters, combine the waters into one clear glass container that should be clean. At a minimum you want a quart of water, but you can make more.

Then take this water, and on the night of the full moon, expose the water to the light of the full moon.  If you can expose it all night, that is good, but even just 5 minutes is enough to enchant the water with lunar light.

This next step can be done at any time afterwards, but it should be done either the day before, the day of, or the day after the full moon. So you can do it right after making the moon water, or you can wait for the next full moon or many full moons later to do it.

Take the 1st Pentacle of the Moon talismans, and set them down. On top of each pentacle, set a glass cup or bowl so you can see the pentacle through the base of the glass. Fill the cups with your special moon water. Take one key and insert the tip and blade of the key into the water of one glass. Turn the key as if you are opening a door. Take the other key, and put the end into the other glass of water, and turn that key as if you are locking a door. As you do this with each key recite the verse from Matthew 16:19,


I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Remove the key from the water and dry it off. Take three sips of the water from the water that you opened with the key. You can bathe or rinse yourself in this water, sprinkle the water inside your home, and use it for other beneficial aims to open “metaphorical” doors for you for any purpose. You can also drink this water, or infuse it with herbs to focus the water on a specific goal, such as good luck, money, or love.

With the water that you locked,  you can use this to protect your home by locking out your enemies, and sprinkling it outside around your home, or in the paths of enemies to lock them out of good fortune to cross them up. You can also infuse herbs for protection into this water for yourself, or infuse crossing herbs to focus the water to cross up and lock up your enemies.

Take the keys, and anoint them with Master Key oil. These keys are now lunar talismans that can help you to unlock or lock up things. Keep them someplace secure and use them in your rites as desired. You can also wear them as talismans that will bring you good luck and avert misfortune and enemies.

Planetary Magic of the Sun

For this spell you will need

A piece of jewelry with a sun design on it.
A piece of blank 8.5×11 paper
A pencil, a yellow colored pencil or a regular pencil
A ceramic plate or bowl
7 yellow candles
A gold colored candle holder
Sun oil
Frankincense or Copal de Oro resin
Sun bath salts
Angelica
Bay leaves
Chamomile
Spring water
A clear glass jar
A small clean towel, like a tea towel, or a towel for drying dishes, 

Acquire a piece of jewelry with a sun design on it. Any kind of jewelry. A ring or pendant is recommended, but earrings or an earring is also good.

Take the spring water, and pour it into the glass jar. Add a teaspoon of Sun bath salts to it. Close the jar, and set it into a sunny place where it will sit in sunlight for at least an hour, before midday.  If you can place the jar in the sun at dawn, that would be ideal, and if you did this on a Sunday, that would be even better. Once the water has been suitably exposed, you now have Sun Water.

Take the paper and the pencil, and draw an image of the sun on the paper. It should fill the paper. A simple circle with 12 rays of light coming from it is enough. 

Set up the paper on a flat, steady surface, and in the center, place a bay leaf. Sprinkle pinches of angelica root, and chamomile onto the bay leaf and the sun design. You should have this prepared before the next step.

On a Sunday, at dawn, take the jewelry, and dip it in the sun water. Then dry it off with the towel, and anoint it with the sun oil.  Cover it with your plate upside down, and take the yellow candle. Anoint it with Sun oil, set it into the golden candle holder, and set it on top of the overturned plate. Light the candle.

Prepare incense charcoal for burning incense. Put either Frankincense or Copal de Oro to burn on the charcoal.

As the candle and incense burns say the following: 

Oh Noble Sun, exalted and resplendent. May you be blessed! Oh Mighty Sun! By your names I call to you, Shamash, Sol, Helios, Surya, As all the planets reflect your light, I ask that I may also reflect your light, and be made fortunate, exalted, and splendid through your power and grace. Imbue your dazzling radiance into this jewelry, transmit your light that it may shine through me when I wear this jewelry, granting me dominion and exaltation, that all people will look upon me with favor, and people with authority will elevate me to an exalted and sublime position, and that all manner of good luck, good fortune and blessings will abound upon me.

Then let the candle burn until it goes out.

You will repeat this spell, with dipping the jewelry in Sun water, anointing it with sun oil and burning the candle and reciting the prayer each day of the week. Each day it will be done at the Hour of the Sun in the morning for that day. You will need to identify the Hour of the Sun that happens before or at noon each day.

On the final day, Saturday, after the candle has finished, you can take the jewelry and begin wearing it, as your personal Sun talisman, You can wear it constantly, or only wear it when you feel that you need it to bring you success, good fortune and good luck, and to bring favor from people around you, especially people in positions of authority over you, like bosses, managers, executives etc…

Take the paper with Sun design and the herbs, and carefully fold it up into a little packet. You should keep this packet, and store the packet and your jewelry together when you take it off. 
You can keep the water and sprinkle it around your home, to fill it with blessings of the sun, or pour it over yourself, for a quick boost of Sun energy when you want it.

It is best if you do this spell when the Sun is in Aries or Leo, but it can also be successful when the Sun is in Sagittarius. You should avoid doing this when the Sun is in Aquarius or Libra.

Harvest Home and International Day of Peace

Leave a reply

September 21st is the Autumn Equinox. Another old name for this day was Harvest Home before Aidan Kelly decided on the name Mabon.
In the mid 20th century, the United Nations decided to name September 21st as the International Day of Peace. I find this an interesting choice and a fascinating overlap. The first thought that came to mind was how the equinox is the balance point and the days surrounded it are more or less equal hours of day and night. A moment of peace between one the bright and long days of summer, and dark and long nights of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Whichever one you decide to observe, may you have a blessed day, and may these blessings continue to bring you more blessings in the future.

Happy Spring Equinox

Happy Spring Equinox! Personally I see this as “Mid Spring” as the Solstices are known as Midsummer and Midwinter respectively. Spring really begins on February 1st with Candlemas. The weather predictions done on the 1st and 2nd of February based upon snakes, or groundhogs, or just the weather being dark and gray or clear and bright decides if the first part of spring is going very much the idea of “spring” or just an extended winter. It seems this year in North America, it was much more a long winter, but then February first and second where I live was bright, clear and warm. So it seems the prediction was true.

I wish only that your personal lives can quicken, grow and blossom, as we leave the vestiges of winter behind us and move into the growing and hopefully flourishing part of the year. Things look grim in the world around us on a greater scale, but I wish we can all find what we need to not just survive, but thrive.

March 18 – Feast day of the Archangel Gabriel

Happy Feast Day of the Archangel Gabriel!
March 18 was the feast day of Gabriel until 1969. I still continue to observe this as Gabriel’s Feast day, including many others from different sects of Christianity.

As i have said many times before, in many ways Gabriel seems to be the overlooked archangel. Far more people will turn to Saint Michael for many things, and only think of Gabriel for the Annunciation, even though Gabriel appears many times in many stories.

As the angel of Annunciation, and many other appearances as bringing messages from God, Gabriel is a divine Messenger, an angel of angels in that the word Angel originally means messenger. Many people will pray to Gabriel asking for messages and guidance, and for help with psychic abilities, to reveal things that are hidden.

Some people are recognize Gabriel for the meaning of his name. His name comes from the Hebrew meaning Strength of God. If you are familiar with Kabbalah, and the Sefirot, the Sefirot Geborah is actually the beginning of the name Gabriel. the end -iel means of God. Thus, the Strength or Might of God. Gabriel as the Strength of God is called upon by someone people for Divine Strength and Might, or getting his power to help you in any number of situations. In a spell from the PGM, Gabriel is even called up to bring his power to make someone fall in love with the client of the sorcerer. But this divine strength can be applied to anything.

Another common sphere of influence for Gabriel is a commander of the celestial hosts. While some may think this applies to the angels, but I think this refers to the spirits who govern the celestial objects ie the planets and stars. This is why Gabriel is also considered the Angel of the Moon. As the Moon was considered to take all the celestial rays of the planets and stars and transmit them to the earth, so Gabriel is considered to command the spirits of the celestials objects. So, if you’re doing a summoning of astral spirits, you might make some devotions to Gabriel to help you with them.

Feast to the Queen of the Gods

I have never felt much of a connection to Imbolc and Brigid who is the more popular goddess associated with February and it’s beginning. In searching for alternatives, I found a connection to Juno. Having a preference for Graeco Roman divinities, this is who I choose to devote the first cross quarter feast to.
Juno/Hera often gets the short end of the stick in most popular media these days. Usually the stories of her vengeance on the bastard children of Zeus from his uncountable paramours is the most often told story, and for that she is painted as being cruel, wicked, evil, vindictive, a harridan, and generally a bad example of a woman. They often overlook her other qualities, and other stories about her.
One overlooked and rather important thing, that is often left out from modern retellings is that she was the divine patron of Jason of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason’s success in his journey came about because she favored him and helped him. As long as he held her favor, his ventures worked out for him. It wasn’t until he lost Hera’s favor, by screwing over Medea and breaking promises to her, and abandoning his own children, did his fortunes change and he ended up losing, hard.
The month of February is also named for an title of Juno, that of Juno Februa, or Juno of Purification. The month February in the old Roman calendar was closely connected with purification, which would culminate on the 15th of February with the Februa purification. After this it would become a time of feasting and honoring the Gods, the dead, the Lares, and the prosperity of the people and the city itself as evidenced by it’s stability and prosperity.
