Rivers, lakes, seas and oceans

Rivers, lakes, ponds, seas, oceans and any other names for large bodies of water and all with immense magical powers.  Water is a necessity of life, never underestimate its power.

Rivers and streams have the ability to ‘flow’ they bring movement so they are brilliant for removing or getting rid of things whether it is spell work that focuses on removing or dispelling or whether you just want the water to carry your spell away to ‘do its thing’ but please remember not to drop anything into any water system that won’t safely degrade – not plastics or chemicals please! 

If you don’t have access to a natural running water area then the household sink tap works well for cleansing and purifying and the flushing toilet is absolutely brilliant for flushing away spell work.

The oceans and seas work well because of the power they have and the fact that they have built in cleansing and purifying properties because they are salt water.

Ponds and lakes are slightly different because they don’t tend to move much, they don’t usually have waves and they don’t flow like rivers but they still hold the natural magic of water.

Water

A bit obvious I know but rivers, lakes and oceans are all made up from the element of water which is a huge powerhouse of nature, never underestimate the power of the ocean…

I love nothing more than retreating to the shores of the ocean to release any worries and issues and come home refreshed and renewed.

Rain water can be collected in your garden in pots and buckets and water collected from wells is often classed as ‘sacred’ and water from the ocean is obviously already imbued with salt so it packs an extra cleansing and purifying punch of energy. 

It is totally an intuition thing but I work with water for:
