Cleansing is one of the oldest gestures in magic: the decision that a room, a body, or a mind has become crowded, and that it is time to clear a little space. This is a book about making that decision and then doing something about it.
$12, sold through Etsy. Both paper sizes come in the one purchase, so there is nothing to choose at checkout.

Twenty-one rituals and spells in four parts, each one written out in full rather than listed as a line in a contents page.
- Part one — Foundations What cleansing is and how it works, choosing a time and place, the tools you actually need, and how to prepare. Aura cleansing, space cleansing, releasing what you carry, and intention as the frame for everything after it.
- Part two — Basic cleansing rituals The simple ones first: salt bath, smudging, chanting and singing bowls, visualisation, and two versions of an aura cleansing.
- Part three — Advanced cleansing rituals The longer ceremonies: the shadow banishing ritual, the elemental cleansing bath, crystal grid cleansing, full moon cleansing, and smoke cleansing room by room.
- Part four — Herbal cleansing and protection spells Lavender spell bag, lemon balm, rosemary infused oil, rosemary floor wash, peppermint tea, sage, the mugwort dream ritual, St John's wort oil, thyme tincture, ginger foot bath, and a lavender and sea salt bath for relationships.
The shape of every spell
What it is for. What you will need. The steps in order. The words to say, where there are words. And its own safety note, so you are never guessing about the thing in your hand.
There is a contents page, an index, and a safety section near the back, because a book you use at a table with a candle and a bottle of oil should have all three.
Who it is for
People who already work this way, and people starting out who would rather learn from something written plainly than from a video with a candle in the thumbnail. If you keep a book of shadows, print the pages, punch them and file them in your own order. If you would rather read it on a tablet by candlelight, it works that way too.
It is typeset, not a template pack and not a set of colouring pages — a real book with a foreword, a contents page and an index.
Who it is not for
It is not a book of promises. No guarantees of outcomes, no curse to buy your way out of, no claim that a bath will fix a medical condition. What you get is method: what to use, when to do it, how to prepare, and what to say.
A note on safety. This book describes traditional spiritual and herbal practices. It is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and it does not promise a cure or a particular outcome. Herbs, oils, tinctures, candles and crystals each carry a plain warning. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care, speak to a qualified practitioner before using any herb or oil. Never leave a flame unattended.
About the book
