Adding herbs to the bath is certainly one of the easiest forms of Magic. In essence, a tub of water containing a bath sachet is little more than a huge pot of herb tea in which the bather brews. When herbs are placed in warm water they release their energies as well as their scents and color. As such, baths are powerful tools in gaining psychic awareness, drawing love, speeding healing and granting personal protection.

All Ingredients!!!!!! below need to be put into a sachet bag. Do not put these into your bath loose.

Magical Sachets-also know as herbals charms (or amulets and talismans)-consist of herbs and other materials tied up in bits of cloth. They can be worn every day as a personal power booster or placed on the altar to magically represent you. Sachets are easily made and have a long history. Cloth hasn't always been used. Herbs have been carried in horns, seashells, leather, fur and lockets. Magical rings were made into sachets by placing an appropriate herb below the jewel. Thus, the energies of both gem and herb worked toward the magical goal. Herbs were also sewn into clothing for protective purposes.

Creating Sachets For most sachets, a handful or less of the empower herb mixture is more than enough, depending on its desired size. Household sachets tend to be larger than ones designed to be carried on the person. First, mix the herbs. Empower them with your magical need. Know that the herbs are pulsating with specific, programmed energies that are being released toward your goal. Next, select the properly colored cloth. Choose a natural fiber material such as felt, wool or cotton. Synthetic materials such as polyester seem to disturb the herb's frequencies. Cut the cloth into a square from four to nine inches across. Place the empowered herbs on the center of the cloth, gather up the ends and tie them firmly together. You've trapped the herbs within the cloth. Use a natural cord such as wool yarn or cotton twine to shut the sachet.

Using Sachets If it is a personal charm, hold it in your hand, squeeze it gently to release its fragrance, and carry with you at all times. If the sachet is designed for the house or car, squeeze and place it in the most appropriate spot. Replace with freshly made sachets every three months or so, disassembling and burying the old ones.

"Break the Habit" Bath

To rid yourself of negative, baneful habits as well as their root causes: Place the sachet in the tub. After it has colored the water, step into it. Lie back in the water and visualize yourself happily avoiding the habit or other negative condition-smoking, drinking, drugs, depressions, obsessions and so on. Visualize the water absorbing your desire and need for the habit. See in your mind's eye all the energy you've been giving to this negative condition seeping out into the water. When you've visualized all that you can, pull the plug and sit in the tub until the water has drained out. Splash fresh water onto your body, washing away all traces of the taint. Repeat daily.
