Lustral Bath for Initiation

  • 2 parts Rosemary
  • 1 part Sandalwood chips
Mix equal amounts of the recipe (by weight not volume) with sea salt. Bundle into a cheesecloth or fabric with a weave no looser than burlap and then tie the end; Used in the lustral bath prior to Self-Dedication and Rites of Initiation.

Tip: When drawing the lustral bath, do not use cold water. Instead, turn the hot water on such that it is absolutely scalding. Then add to the bath your herbal bundle, and let it soak until the water is comfortable enough to enter.
