Charging Sea Shells

saltwaterwitchery:

Let’s charge some sea shells to aid us in our spell work, sea witches and hags!  The simplest way is to give them an ocean bath and to give them purpose once more.

YOU WILL REQUIRE

  • sand
  • salt water (I also add storm water mixed in)
  • seaweed (optional)
  • a glass bowl
  • large spoon

SPELLWORK

1.  On the night of a full moon, you will take a large bowl fill bottom with sand.  Place shells in the sand and bury them about halfway into it.  If you have seaweed, now would be the time to also place it in the bowl.  

2.  Take your bowl outside and fill the remainder with your saltwater.  Place both hands on the sides of the bowl and chant:

Mother Ocean and Lady Sea–

Once more, I return these children of yours

to the comforting embrace of sand and water.

For one night, let tides churn and cleanse them

of all energy amassed on land.

Bless them by the light of the Moon,

which turns your heavenly waters

from which we came.

3.  Using your large spoon, you will give your bowl a stir three-times clockwise.  With each turn, you will say:

Tumult of riptide, strip away negativity.

Serenity of wave, increase tranquility.

Darkness of depth, deliver vitality.

4.  Leave the shells to charge overnight.  In the morning, remove them from their watery bed and rinse them with more saltwater.  Leave them out to dry outside until twilight and then they will be ready to use once again.  Cleanse shells once a month to keep them energized!
