Since ancient times, people bathed to clean their bodies and to purify their spirits. Water is cleansing, healing, renewing, and refreshing, it acts as a conduit for spirit, awareness and therefore enhances our connection to the universe.
Think about Cleopatra bathing in warm water infused with botanicals and salts.
Our bodies are made up of 85% of water which responds to the intentions we place within it. Intentions are then transmitted into our bodies as we bathe.
Bathing also boasts several scientific backed health benefits such as:
Warm Evening Baths Help Promote Restful Sleep. Taking a bath before bedtime elevates your body temperature, forcing it to drop when you get out and mimicking the natural decrease that happens at night, better helping your body shift into sleeping mode.
Baths Soothe Joint and Muscle Pain. Add the right blend of salts and botanicals to the equation and feel the magic happen.
Passive heat therapy and hot water immersion shouldn’t replace exercise, but they can have similar cardiovascular benefits for those who may not be able to exercise. A study published in Heart in May 2020, found that Japanese men who bathed in a tub more frequently had a lower risk of heart disease compared with those who bathed less frequently.
The energies of Imbolc are deeply connected to purification, renewal, and awakening. It marks the transition from winter’s stillness to the early stirrings of spring, symbolizing hope, light, and new beginnings. A ritual bath during Imbolc channels these energies, cleansing both body and spirit in preparation for growth and transformation.
Beltane is the Celtic sabbat of fire, fertility, and sacred union, marking the height of spring’s energy and the return of life’s full vibrancy. It is a time of passion, creativity, sensuality, and abundance, when the veil between worlds is thin, particularly between the human and fae realms. A ritual bath during Beltane helps align with these potent energies, awakening vitality, desire, and connection to nature’s wild magic.
Lughnasadh (or Lammas) is the Celtic sabbat of the first harvest, honoring the abundance of the earth, the sacrifice of the grain, and the cycle of giving and receiving. It is a time of gratitude, strength, and preparation for the waning of summer. A ritual bath during Lughnasadh invokes these energies, helping you align with the rhythms of nature and cultivate personal abundance.
Samhain is the Celtic sabbat of death, rebirth, and the thinning of the veil, marking the end of the Wheel of the Year. It is a time for honoring ancestors, deep reflection, and transformation, as the nights grow longer and the world shifts toward winter. A ritual bath during Samhain helps attune to the mystical energies of the season, providing a sacred space for spiritual cleansing, divination, and ancestral connection.
