Ostara 1998 Newsletter Purification - The Ritual Bath by Anake

Surround your bath with candles, light them, and maybe some incense. Fill your bath with warm water. Scatter flower petals over the water. Stand skyclad before your bath and meditate or say some words of power about relaxation and cleansing to purify your thoughts and your mind. Slide into the bath imagining the water purifying and washing the negatives from you. Feel the water lapsing over your body. You may want to play some of your favourite music and meditate with your eyes closed enjoying the bath. Enjoy your body as well, as it is being cleansed. As the water begins to cool, step from the bath seeing yourself re-born and renewed. Dry off with a fluffy towel.
