| Bath salts can be used when taking a ritual bath before rituals and spells or just used when you want to relax in the tub. Supplies: Epsom salt - at any drug store or department store Baking soda Table salt or sea salt Jars or a bag to hold the salt Take three parts of epsom salt and add two parts baking soda and one part regular salt or sea salt. Mix them all together and you have the base. You could just use this if you wanted, but its more fun to use herbs. You can add essential oils to this too. Make sure they are true essential oils and not perfume oils because perfume oils can bother your skin and give it a rash. Just find a blend that you like, ex: for love you can add lavendar, jasmine and cinnamon oil. Just find the right kinds of oils for what your doing. You can also add herbs to it too, but this is a bit messy. The herbs will need to be cleaned out from the tub afterwards, so it would be good to make a small bag out of cheese cloth or regular cloth and put herbs in there, tie it up and put them in the tub with the salts, so that way you dont gets bits of herbs floating freely around the water.
