Various religions use holy water for various purposes.Holy water can only be sanctified by an ordination of a priest, according to many people.Depending on your faith, you may not be able to create authentic holy water.You can make your own holy water by following Catholic rituals and prayers.There are a number of pagan rituals for making holy water.
Step 1: Put your salt into a container.
You will need to create holy salt before you can make holy water.First, make it sacred or holy.Take some pure salt and put it in a container, such as a small bowl or jar.The Roman Ritual says that our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.I exorcise you by the living God, the true God and the holy God who ordered you to be poured into the water so that your life-giving powers could be restored.To become a means of salvation for believers, I exorcise you so that you may bring health of soul and body to everyone who uses you, and to drive away from places where you are sprinkled with evil.If you are consecrating the salt in front of witnesses, invite them to join you in prayer.Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.You can find the text of The Roman Ritual online or in a book from a Catholic bookstore.There is no requirement for the container you use for salt.If you keep holy salt that you do not mix with the water, make sure you mark the container so you don't confuse it with regular table salt.
Step 2: It is possible to get some water from a natural source.
You can get your water from a nearby lake, stream, or river.Try to avoid tap water since it may have some harmful substances in it.You don't want dirty holy water if your water is obtained naturally.The water should be placed in a large bowl.If a natural source isn't available, you can use tap water or bottled water.Store-bought distilled water is a good choice.
Step 3: Get rid of the water.
You will need to perform an exorcism over the water to combine the salt and water.Take these words from The Roman Ritual and apply them to you.Through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will come to judge the living and the dead, you will be able to root out and replace the Enemy with his apostate angels.In front of witnesses, have them join you in the following prayer: "O God, Who for the salvation of mankind has built the greatest mysteries on this substance, water, in your kindness hear our prayers and pour down the power of your blessing into us."May this creature become an agent of divine grace in order to drive away evil spirits and sickness so that the homes and other buildings of the faithful may be free from harm.No disease-bearing air should remain in these places.May the enemies prove to be no match for them.The safety and peace of those who live here should be put to flight by the sprinkling of this water, so that the healthfulness obtained by calling upon the holy name may be made secure against all attack.Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.Amen.
Step 4: The salt should be poured into the water.
The final step is to combine the salt and water.As you pour the salt into the water, it becomes a cross.The salt and water should be mixed together in the name of the Father and the Son.If you are performing the ritual in front of people, you should say "The Lord be with you" and invite them to join you.The Holy Spirit may be with us wherever we are, if you please grant us mercy.Amen.
Step 5: The water is holy.
You can use the Novus Ordo Book of Blessings to bless your holy water once you have made it.You can buy the book from a Catholic bookstore or find the text online.
Step 6: Your holy water can be used to bless you and your family.
Once you have made your holy water, place it in a container of your choice, such as a plastic spray bottle.You can use it to bless yourself or a family member when they go to bed at night, or you can sprinkle it around different rooms in your home.If you don't want to use holy water that you blessed yourself, go to a priest and ask for some.You can fill a container with holy water at some churches.
Step 7: Sea water can be used for cleansing and purification rituals.
Sea water is sacred in many traditions.If you want to use sea water for blessings and rituals, you should gather a little in a small bottle and leave an offering of thanks.For example, you could leave some fresh flowers or fruit for the animals in the area to eat.
Step 8: Rainwater can be used for rituals of purity, fertility and abundance.
If you want to use water in fertility rituals, set out an open container, such as a glass jar or chalice, to gather some rain.You can get the water from a well.Water gathered during a lightning storm is thought to have powerful energy.Morning dew can be used in rituals relating to beauty, healing, and rejuvenation.
Step 9: Add salt to the water.
Salt is believed to help ward off spirits and entities.If you want to make holy water, place it in a chalice.Say prayers over the salt and water that are appropriate for your particular Pagan tradition, then combine the 2 ingredients together and say a final prayer to bless the water and make it holy.If you dip your fingers or a magic wand into the water, you can say a prayer.I want the water to be blessed and made holy.In the name of Goddess and God, in love, light, peace, and trust.I want this salt to be consecrated and blessed.In the name of Goddess and of God, in love, light, peace, and trust, add a pinch of the salt to the water and stir in a clockwise direction.As the water is holy and as the salt is sacred, may the union of these two be blessed and consecrated.In the name of Goddess and of God, by the power of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, may this now be holy water, to be used in goodness, love, light, peace and trust.Any kind of water or salt will work for this purpose.It is believed that you can use this type of holy water to bless and purify your body by gently rubbing it on your skin.
Step 10: It is possible to make it holy by leaving water outside in the dark.
Many people believe that exposing water to moonlight can make it holy.You can put any type of water in a container that will get plenty of light.You can use this water in a variety of ways, from love spells to purification rituals.If you want to hold spiritual energy, you should use a silver or glass container.Say a prayer or chant as you set out the container of water.You could ask for a blessing of love, purity, or protection.
Step 11: Adding silver to the water will help with lunar blessings.
If you put a piece of silver metal into the water, you can bring extra lunar blessings.Drop any silver object, such as a ring or a coin, into the water before leaving it in the moon.If you want to get a sunlight blessing, you can add a piece of gold to the water and leave it out in the sun.Add silver to a bowl with snow and ice and charge it with an intention such as freezing your enemies or getting stuck energies to flow.The water can be put out in the light of the full moon to make it holy.
