Bathing with intention runs through nearly every tradition that has water and a tub: the spiritual baths of Hoodoo and the botanica, the herb baths of European folk practice, the ritual washing of a dozen religions. The logic is a good one. The body is the thing you actually live in, and washing is something you do to it deliberately, so whatever you name while you are in the water goes on you rather than merely being thought about.

Aimed at love, the bath is best worked toward yourself: your own openness, your own readiness, your own sense of being worth loving. That is not a consolation prize, it is the part of love work that reliably does something, and it does not require anyone else's will to be bent.

1. Cleanse first if you feel blocked; clear the ground before you draw on it.
2. Draw a warm bath and dissolve a generous handful of the salts, swirling until they are gone.
3. Name what you are inviting: your own openness, a willing connection, the warmth you want more of.
4. Soak, and work the water upward toward the heart, the drawing direction.
5. Air dry if you can, and carry the intention into the day.

• Love Bath Kit: the candle, crystals, and ritual card for the same working.
• Love Sachet Powder, 3/4 oz: the dressing powder in the same register.
• Love Soy Votive Candle: a flame to light beside the tub.
• Pink Rose Petals, 1 oz: the classic love flower, to strew on the water.
• Complete Book of Baths by Robert Laremy: a working reference for ritual bathing.

How much do I use?

A generous handful in a warm tub. Five pounds is a bulk supply, so it will carry a long run of baths.

What is a ritual bath?

A bath taken deliberately, with an intention named while you are in the water. The practice runs through most traditions that have water, on the logic that what you name lands on the body you are washing.

Which direction do I work it?

Upward, toward the heart. Drawing baths pull toward you, the reverse of a cleansing bath, which washes down and off.

Can I use it to draw a specific person?

The bath works best aimed at yourself: your own openness and readiness for love. That does not require overriding anyone's will.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

It is a scented bath product for external use. Patch test if you have sensitive skin or known fragrance allergies, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
