It’s that time of month! Time for the full moon!
The full moon officially is tomorrow, but the influence begins today (it extends for three days – the day before, the day of, and the day after) and so it’s the perfect to create some holy water. Here’s how to do it!
- Get some water. The better quality, the better – rain water or natural spring water would be best, but if all you’ve got is tap or hose water, that will work too.
- Put it into a nice bottle or jar – something translucent or clear is best, so that light can penetrate it.
- Place sacred herbs and stones into the bottle or jar along with the water.
- Place the bottle or jar outside in the sacred moonlight.
- Leave it out in the sacred sunlight the next day as well.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 for up to the three full days of full moon light. One night and day is plenty, but all three pack more oomph!
- Place your hands over the bottle or jar and say a prayer of thanks to your chosen source, creator, or deity.
- That’s it!
Those are you 8 simple steps to making holy water!
Holy water can be used for all sorts of things. Cleansing, charging, sanctifying, blessing, washing, anointing, etc. If you make a nice big batch, it’ll last a long time!
Oh, and one last tip – if you live somewhere it gets hot during the day or where there are a lot of bugs, leave the stopper on the bottle or jar so the water remains inside (instead of evaporating) and no bugs get inside.
There you have it!
