Holy Water: A Traditional of Healing Right at Your Fingertips
3 T. sea or Kosher salt
1 small bowl of spring or rainwater
1 clean glass container
a hand mirror
a small bell to ring in ceremony
1 storage bottle
Cleanse and sterilize the bowl and decanting bottle.
Insure that you have privacy.
Time: Night, during a Full Moon phase.
Place: Outside under the moon, or near a window that shines the light of the moon.
Set up your sacred work space with all the ingredients.
Take as many deep breaths you need to relieve the stress of the day.
Cast your sacred circle. Hold your arms outstretched in the Goddess position, arms out at the sides like you are cradling the Universe, palms up. Ring the bell 3 times saying:
Bathed in the cloak of the shine of the moon
At this timely full moon hour
I call upon the Ancient Power
I seek the presence of the Lady and Lord
To bless this water and make it holy.
You can substitute any words you prefer. The idea is to acknowledge the power of the universe as creative and holy.
Feel the energy move through you. Feel your own energy expand around you, uniting you with Divinity. Acknowledge the power the moon has on water through the tides and know that you are infusing the energy of life & healing into the water under the gaze of Her by the light of the moon. Take your time.
Add the rose water, if desired, to the spring water. Pick up the bowl of water, hold it toward the moon, and say:
In my hands I hold the essence of the Goddess, and all the abundance She gives in life. I cleanse and consecrate this water to Divinity that it may aid me in my sacred work.
Feel the energy of the Moon Goddess draw down into the water. You may feel a sensation. Honor sacred mystery through joyous prayer and uplift your heart, mind and soul into the bathing light.
Sit the water down and pick up the salt. Feel the power moving in your arms as you raise the salt toward the moon. Say: In my hands I hold the essence of Earth Mother, She whose abundance sustains all living creatures. I consecrate this salt to Divinity that it may aid me in my sacred work.
