New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| A lot of rituals suggest you take a ritual bath beforehand, but many people prefer to take showers. Here is a way to do a ritual shower. If possible, have incense and soap of the same fragrance-lavender, sandalwood, or cedar are good. If you can't find a soap to match your incense, use plain unscented white soap. Take a stick of incense and use it to cense the bathroom. Fill the tub with warm water and get in. Wash your legs and feet, saying:
Blessed are my legs, that walk in the ways of the Goddess. Wash your arms and hands, saying: Blessed are my arms, which do the work of the Goddess. Wash your torso, saying: Blessed is my body, formed in the image of the Divine. Finally, wash your face, saying: Blessed is my face, which shines with the light of the Goddess.. Rinse off, dry, and put on clean robes or clothes. |
