Purification Bath Herbs

Purification Bath Herbs is a traditional recipe based on the Key of Solomon recipe. I didn't understand why this formula featured Fennel seeds (a digestive aid) until I learned that they are used to purify the liver.

Purification Bath is formulated on either the Sunday or Wednesday following the New Moon, since both the Sun and planet Mercury offer excellent powers of purification. Purification Bath Herbs is appropriate for preparation prior to any Wiccan, Pagan, Ceremonial or Kabbalististic ritual or magickal working.

The herbs come in a cello bag with two cups per bag of beautiful fragrant herbs, Each package contains enough herbs for two or three baths.

To prepare, boil at least a quart of water. Fill the reusable muslin bag (included) about half full with herbs. Turn off the heat of the pot and throw in the bag of herbs. Cover, and allow to steep for a good 15 minutes, while you draw the bath water. Add the tea to your bath, and use the muslin bag of herbs as a washcloth. This is an ancient technique for ritual bathing that fills your bath with both the essential oils and water-soluble compounds of the herbs. You can make a bath that is hot or cool this way. Especially recommended for sensitive skin.
