A Ritual Bath for Unbridled Pleasure:

Prepare for a luxurious pleasure bath ritual to indulge your senses and honor the full moon in Scorpio, which rules the sex organs. This is where pleasure and desire reside. Our willpower and drive, creation, and creativity. It's important to nourish this part of ourselves as we move further into Spring!

Ingredients:

• Epsom salt or Himalayan salt
• Dried damiana or dried rose petals (or both!) 
• Essential oils (sensual blends such as rose, jasmine, or ylang-ylang)
• A candle (preferably red or deep purple)
• copal incense or a smoke cleansing wand 
• Crystals (such as garnet, rose quartz, or amethyst)

Begin by cleansing your bathroom space with an herb bundle or incense, releasing limiting beliefs and calling in the guides and allies that want the best for you. 

Add a few drops of your chosen essential oils to your salts, allowing their sensual aroma to envelop you. Mix well and set an intention while holding the bowl. My desires are safe and welcome; when they are named, they can be born. My desires will be brought to life. 

Draw a warm bath and add a generous amount of Epsom salt or Himalayan salt to the water. As you sprinkle the salt, visualize it cleansing your energy and preparing you for deep relaxation.

Scatter damiana or dried rose petals into the bath, infusing the water with their soothing fragrance. (use a teabag if you don't want to clean up a messy bath).

Light the candle and place it near the bath, creating a warm, ambient glow.

Hold your chosen crystals in your hands and set your intention for the ritual. Visualize yourself embracing pleasure, self-love, and empowerment.

Step into the bath and immerse yourself fully, allowing the warm water to envelop your body. Close your eyes and focus on your breath, sinking deeper into relaxation with each exhale.

As you soak, visualize the full moon's energy infusing your being, illuminating your innermost desires and empowering you to embrace pleasure and self-care.

Take this time to pamper yourself, whether it's by gently massaging your body with luxurious oils, listening to sultry music, or simply basking in the juiciness of the moment.

When you feel ready, slowly emerge from the bath, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply connected to your innermost self.

Blow out the candle, offering gratitude for the experience, and carry the energy of the ritual with you as you continue your journey.

As you drain the bath envision all those old stories that you shed like a snakeskin in your bath go down the drain. You are free to be your luminous self!

Jot down any thoughts or messages you get after the bath if any.

Remember, self-care and ritual is deeply personal and can look like whatever works for YOU. Feel free to adjust the ritual and spell to fit your personal preferences and intuition.
