Rainwater

Ritual rainwater is a beautiful way to be used during a Full Moon ritual or prayer for cleansing and protection. Try collecting as much from nature as possible such as stones, pebbles, crystals, etc. You can always buy crystals and protection stones but be sure to infuse it with your own energy buy anointing them with appropriate protection oil such as lavender, Ylang Ylang, Basil, Angelica, Rosemary & Bay Leaf to name a few.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Clean a wide-mouthed jar or bowl that's wide & deep
Stones, Sea Shells, Crystals
Coffee Filters
Decorative Bottles
9 White Candles
Sage Smudge Stick or Frankincense Incense
Sea Salt

Step 1

Clean a wide-mouthed jar or bowl that's wide & deep. Add stones, crystals And sea shells to the bowl as well. Set it outside during a rainstorm.
Step 2

When bowl is full, remove stones & crystals. Strain Rainwater through a coffee filter and transfer water to special bottles sealed with a tight lid, or cap. Label each bottle as to the contents, the Moon phase & date it was collected. Take them to your altar. This does not have to be a Wiccan or Religious Altar. it can be a special place you have created putting all that is personal to you.
Step 3

Leave the bottles there until the Full moon. On the night of the Full moon, place nine white candles in the same bowl that you collected your rain in ( dried out of course) and fill with salt about 1/3 full. Place candles to form a circle on your altar or sacred space with the bottles of water inside the circle.
Step 4

Light the candles. Burn a smudge stick or frankincense incense and wave the smoke over the bottles to further purify them, and chant nine times; " Full Moon Goddess anoint this rain,
Power and goodness it shall gain. " OR any prayer that is special and sacred to you.
Step 5

Leave candles burning until they are spent. This sacred water can be used for sprinkling the four corners,(for Wiccan practice) around the edges of ritual circles or sacred space and blessing & cleansing of tools, stones, and crystals or used in any of your other spell working (If Wiccan or other Pagan Spirituality) If you don't use the water within a year, pour it into your plants.
