Making Magical Washes – Workshop

The use of blessed water is an important magical tradition all over the world.

In this online workshop, green witch Hannah Sanders teaches students how to make and employ magical washes. Frequently used in works of protection and cleansing, blessed water can be a potent substance for healing rituals and banishing spells. The class also explores the benefits of ‘collecting’ water in various locations, from vials of morning dew to samples from lakes and ocean. Designed for both the beginner and experienced practitioner, expect to blend several types of sacred water and learn a core skill in magical practice.

Students will craft: Tool Consecration Wash, Blessing Water, Hydrosols

Please bring rosemary, mint, spring water and sea salt. Optional: dill.
