Mars Blood Bath Bomb

Ritual bathing has a long history in ceremonial magic and magical practices worldwide and is one of the key methods of maintaining spiritual hygiene. Prior to ceremony, the priest or magician would bathe in perfumed waters in order to symbolically wash the material impurities off of their bodies. These impurities are not necessarily moral or religious sins, but anything that could separate one from the divine spirit the priest or magician is seeking to contact.

In contemporary magic practice, it is more common to find ritual baths being used as a separate mini-ritual on their own. Utilized in order to clear away malefic energy or foreign attachments that one accumulates throughout their day while interacting with other people and places. This use of ritual baths is certainly within the spirit of pre-ceremonial washes that also seek to scour away spiritual, physical, and emotional gunk.

Specifically within the practice of astral theurgy and astrological magic, ritual baths can be used by selecting proper herbs, scents, and salts to spiritually align oneself with and bathe one's body in the spiritual essence of a specific planet or celestial spirit before the theurgist even steps in front of the altar. To this end, Medieval Astrology Guide offers these handmade, ritual bath bombs.

Each bomb is created with specifically chosen herbs, scents, and oils to enhance their connection with one of the seven traditional planets. While only single scent is used per bomb for simplicity's sake, mixing multiple in a bath is encouraged. Our Mars BloodBath Bombs feature crushed dragon’s blood resin (daemonorops draco) to help soothe a warrior’s battered body and is made with a dragon’s blood fragrance oil so one can savor the sweet scent of victory. Sesame seed oil is also utilized as a carrier oil within the salts, adding to the bomb’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties .
