As someone who both practices witchcraft and is chronically ill, I find it important to be able to practice my craft even when I’m physically restricted, such as being bedridden. I hope this list inspires you to practice the craft in a way that fits your lifestyle ❤

*Bathtub magic without the bathtub :)*

Using wipes:

Wipes come in a variety of types, making them perfect. There’s usually a good fit for everyone, I personally enjoy the Burt’s Bees brand. I use correspondences to give my wipe-down a little oomph! I’m making this Burt’s Bees specific but you get the idea!

• Cotton: Purity, healing, luck, protection. 
  
• Cucumber and Sage: Recovery, growth, soothing. Protection, cleansing, wishes. 
  
• Grapefruit: Cleansing, purification, energizing, healing.
  
• Peach: Vitality, love, longevity. 
  
• White Cypress: Grounding, purification, soothing. 
  
• White Tea: Cleansing, clarity, blessings, glamour.
  

You can also draw sigils on the packaging, charge it with crystals, place the package in the sun/moonlight, etc.

Using wash clothes/hand towels:

When I’m stuck in bed for a while, I keep a stack of washcloths and a vessel of water nearby so I can wash my arms and legs, or to put on my forehead to cool down. There’s a couple different ways to make this witchy!

• Color correspondences for the washcloths themselves.
  
• Use water charged in the sun/moon, or rain/storm water.
• Charge your water with crystals or sigils. 
• If you put the crystals in the water, which is not required, here is a list of crystals that cannot go in water:  [X] [X]
• Infuse your water with some herbs beforehand.
• If I’m placing it on my forehead, I’ll add a couple drops of diluted essential oils. 

Using a spray bottle: 

Sometimes you just gotta mist yourself, which is especially helpful for the hair or days when it’s stuffy. 

• I love adding some herbs or a bit of rosewater into the spraybottle.
  
• Once again, you can use sun/moon and rain/storm water.
• You can also charge the bottle with crystals or sigils.
• I like to say a little chant: “Like the rains cleanse the earth, let this water cleanse me/my body/my mind”.
• Sometimes I just spritz myself with rosewater.

Other things:

• Dry shampoo. Use to refresh, glamorize, etc. Charge it beforehand if you so desire.
  
• Lotion. Use to rejuvenate, heal, etc. Scent/ingredient correspondences!
• Deodorant. Charge, scent correspondences, you get the idea!
• Brushing your teeth. If you can’t make it to the bathroom, I like to keep a travel sized kit by my bed and spit into a cup (definitely different than the one I drink from). Don’t underestimate the cleansing and refreshing powers of brushing your teeth!
• Anything else you can think of!

Low energy ingredients:

• Pour some Epsom salts in there. Bonus points if they’re infused with anything. You know the deal, correspondences. You can also do this for a hand/foot soak if you’re able to access the floor and have a bowl!
  
• Plop some tea bags in the bath. Mint really helps me with migraines and stomach stuff! You can also place them over your eyes/on your forehead.
• Essential oils. I like to put a couple of drops in a bowl on the edge of the tub, it works really well with steam!

Bringing bits of your existing garden in:

• Jars of your garden soil.
  
• Give the smaller, weaker plants you pulled a second chance!
• Make a terrarium using soil, rocks, water and plants from your garden.
• Dry flowers and herbs from your garden in your bedroom.
• Keep containers of seeds from your plants nearby.

Creating an accessible garden (inside):

• If you don’t have good lighting, get a grow light. There’s bulbs that screw into normal lamps if you don’t have space for one of the bar lights. [X]
  
• The seed-starter trays are a super simple system and often have trays underneath so it’s okay if you miss a day of watering.
• Window garden boxes are awesome, but not realistic for a lot of people (including myself). 
  
• Planting your plants in plastic pots can be an easy way to control their environment and ensure they’re getting enough root space (plus if you’ve done any gardening before you’ll have tons, please don’t go out of your way to buy plastic products!).
• Place a bowl or tupperware container underneath each pot/planter so water doesn’t drip and you can fill them up so the plants become self-watering.
• Self-watering pots also exist.
• If a watering can isn’t realistic, use a pitcher or a gallon jug.

What to grow?

• These plants can (easily) regrow in a couple inches of water: Scallions, Lettuce, Garlic Sprouts, Basil, Lemon Grass. 
• These herbs do well inside: Basil, Lemon Balm, Mint, Chives.
• These herbs do okay inside: Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme.
• These flowers do well inside: Begonias, Jasmine, African Violet, Christmas Cactus, Mini Roses.
• These flowers do okay inside: Marigold, Pansy, Geranium, Impatiens.
• Cacti, succulents and air plants are all very low maintenance as long as you have enough lighting!

Witchy things to do:

• Influence seedlings with different energies and see which grow fastest.
  
• Use sigils to help your plants grow well.
• Using correspondences, make a tea or cold-infusion with herbs based on your needs. 
• Put crystals with your plant babies.
• Make bouquets with your flowers based on their magical properties, and enchant them! You can dry them too.
• Water your plants with different types of water (moon, sun, rain, stream, storm, etc.)
• Let watering/caring for your plants help nourish you.
• Make infused oils. 
• Make a terrarium that mimics your home/garden and use it to bless/ward your home.
• Decorate your pots/containers with color correspondences, sigils and witchy art!
• Use your plant’s energy to help gain growth, warmth and energy from the sun and soil.
• Plant seeds when starting new things and to bring change into your life.
• When you tend them, focus on what they represent.
• When you’re ready to move on, or take the next step – harvest the plants if that’s realistic. If not, allow them to be a reminder of what you’ve worked for. 
• Allow the magic of growth and life to enter your home!
