Handmade soap made in small batches! Each bar is deliciously scented and can be used for ceremonies and everyday use. We created these soap bars for the ultimate bath experience in the shower or the tub.
Soap bar ceremonies are especially effective because the effect of working with them is cumulative, the longer you stay in your ceremony!
Soap bar ceremonies will last as long as your soap bar does, generally between 4 and 6 weeks, so plan accordingly! The power of this ceremony is in the diligence of stepping into it every time you shower. It leverages the power of elemental water to help you transform little by little over a longer period.
Empowering and Preparing your Soap Bar
- Spell Candle (color based on your intent)
- Incense and Oil (based on your intent)
- Soap Bar
- A cleansing herb – sage, palo santo, mugwort, juniper, etc are all good choices.
- At your altar, cleanse and consecrate the area with your cleansing herb.
- Create sacred space in your preferred way. Use your cleansing herb to cleanse your candle and soap bar. Light your incense.
- Focus on your intent and charge your candle with it, using your preferred oil. Once your candle is charged, run it over your incense smoke. Light your candle.
- Run the soap over the incense smoke and ensure it saturates it.
- Sit with your soap, candle, and incense for as long as necessary. This is a great time to journal about your goal.
- Once finished, let the candle burn down and leave your altar and the soap bar undisturbed for at least 24 hours.
Using Your Soap Bar
Be sure when you decide to begin your ceremony, you are ready to follow through with it. It doesn’t require much, but you must be in the right mindset when you step into the shower. I generally like to put a Post-it note on the shower to remind myself that I am in a ceremony at every shower or bath.
- Before showering or bathing, clear your mind and focus on your goal.
- When you step into your bath or shower, do so with purpose. Feel the water and the soap propelling you towards your goal. No matter what happened during the day, you are now releasing all of it and returning to your goal – you are once again believing in yourself and allowing yourself the space to grow and change.
- I generally like to reaffirm my goal by speaking into the soap about what I work towards before the shower. This keeps me focused and reminds me of my current work.
- If you do not want to work towards your goal in a particular shower or bath, use a DIFFERENT soap – this way, you do not break your ceremony.
- Your bathing ceremony should not take longer than 2 moon cycles (i.e., do not skip your shower ceremony daily).
- Save the soap pieces once you have a sliver of soap left, which is not enough for a shower. Bring them up to your altar to conduct the ceremony closing.
- During the ceremony closing, create sacred space as usual in your altar area.
- Hold the soap slivers in your hands, and thank you for the work it has helped you do. Wrap the slivers on paper and tie them off in a small package. You can then bury the package or discard it.
