Samhain Countdown Day 27

Samhain Bath

Bathing is a ritual in itself, although I will not be partaking this year, I usually enjoy a good Samhain bath. As with the incense and simmer pots, a lot of creating your bath is up to your preferences. I have given you a good starting point, however, you should make it your own.

Things you can add to your ritual;

• Sounds or music that you or your ancestors enjoy

• Incense to burn;

  • copal

  • sandalwood

  • mastic resin

  • benzoin

  • sweetgrass

  • wormwood

  • mugwort

  • sage

  • cloves

  • myrrh

  • patchouli

  • What you can add to your bath:

  • Epsom salts

  • Reusable tea bags

    • or you can just throw it in your bath but don’t let it go down the drain after

  • Dried apples

  • Bay leaf

  • Rosemary (for remembrance of our ancestors)

  • Sage

  • Lavender

*anything else that strikes your fancy just make sure you do your research and are not allergic to it

• Drink ideas;

  • ale

  • cider (hard or regular apple)

  • mulled cider with spices

  • wine (usually red)

Build your bath ritual on what calls to you.
