RITUALS: Wiccan Rites
At bedtime: brew a strong cup of senna and chamomile tea. (Many markets carry chamomile tea, while senna can be found at health food stores.) Drink it down. It should work the next morning. Move on to the next step after you have emptied your bowels.
On an empty stomach:
Fill the bathroom with white candles. Strip.
Run a hot bath and add rosemary-water (made by infusing a woody branch of fresh rosemary in water for a day or so, until it releases its oils.) Pine bath products may be substituted.
Add sea salt, enough for buoyancy. (Salt from the Dead Sea is particularly good for this).
Take a long, luxurious bath in water that is hot enough to steam your pores open. Meditate on purification. Shave. Wash your hair. Rinse off in ice cold water. Dress in white clothes.
