Shower Disks for Attracting love

So you have seen our lovely bath magic spells but you cannot take a bath. Maybe you don’t have a bath in your current residence, maybe you are physically unable to use bathtubs, maybe you’re just super stretched for time but want to get in some extra magical umph. Recreational Witchcraft is here for you.

Shower disks are traditionally used in the aromatherapy world to relieve congestion and other flu-symptoms while showering via the use of essential oils, but we will be bumping up their magical potential.

Basic recipe:

1 cup baking soda

1 tablespoon corn starch

1/3 cup of water

Muffin tins and muffin liners

Attracting Love:

vanilla extract

essential oil of jasmine

essential oil of ylang ylang

apple seeds

1 lavender flower

pinch of cinnamon

Combine baking soda and corn starch (making sure there are no clumps), then slowly add in the water. Fill lined muffin tins about third of the way, then add in dry herbs and spices. Leave out to dry for at least 24 hours. Carefully take disks out of the liners, add your essential oils, and place your disk somewhere in your shower that will allow them to dissolve slowly while you shower. Bam, you’re done.

Note: This spell should not be used to circumvent consent or change someone’s will. Do not send us messages about the ethics of love spells.

I remind myself time to time to allow things to flow its path and to never force anything no matter what it is. I have to let things be. If it’s meant to happen it will happen when it’s suppose to.

Tereska was a child who grew up in a concentration camp. Following World War II, she lived in a residence for disturbed children. In 1948, when asked to draw ‘’home’’, this was the result. This shows how the horrors that took place at the concentration camp warped her mind.

Well, that’s finished. The woman who cherished her suffering is dead. I am her descendant. I love the scar-tissue she handed on to me, but I want to go on from here with you fighting the temptation to make a career of pain.
