Tumblr won’t let me edit my own posts so I had to make a new version!

A collection of categorized links for your Mabon needs! What is Mabon? [X] Mabon is celebrated between September 21st to September 29th (March 21st to March 29th in the S. Hemisphere) and is also called: the Autumn Equinox or the Second Harvest Festival.
For many of us, taking baths/showers is physically exhausting or impossible. Here are some ways to incorporate bath magic into your life without actually taking a bath or leaving bed!
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.
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 washcloths/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:
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 + ingredient magic for in the tub:
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!
Sorry, not the alcohol type drink, but you can find a masterpost for that here! This masterpost is organized by purpose/need. The ones involving coffee are bolded, since most of them are teas!
As a spoonie witch, using magic to help regain my mental and physical energy has been extremely helpful. I decided to compile some resources to make life easier!
For those of you who don’t know me, I suffer from a chronic illness and I spend a LOT of time bedridden. I also happen to be a witch! I don’t let being trapped in bed stop me from practicing my craft. Here are some resources I’ve compiled from my personal experiences and the help of others ❤
Hellenic Polytheism can be a bit daunting to start off – and it’s hard to know where to find the right information or what to research! Hopefully this post will help to give you a starting point – but please don’t base all your information off of one person! NOTE: I may link posts with conflicting information/methods. I leave it to you to decide what feels right and fits for you!
Note: Some areas are certainly lacking in the information department, please add resources if you have them! I’ve included all I could find as of late 2018.
