    Hi Mary
    Glycerin is a clear syrupy liquid obtained from vegetable oils. It is a humecant used in moisturisers due to its water binding capabilities that allow it to draw and absorb water from the air.
    You can buy vegetable glycerin here http://www.getprice.com.au/Melrose-Vegetable-Glycerine-200ml-RRP$5-95-Gpnc_531–41650129.htm You can also buy it from aromatherapy supply shops, health food stores as well as some pharmacies be sure to double check it is vegetable glycerin and not synthetically made from animal fats or propylene glycol

Self-Love Spell Bath Bomb: Venus Ritual for Witchcraft and Beauty Spells

In modern witchcraft, self-love is a revolutionary act of magic. Whether you’re deep in shadow work or simply craving a moment of softness, crafting a bath ritual around self-worth is one of the most powerful spells you can cast. This Self-Love Bath Bomb Spell channels the energy of Venus, Aphrodite, and divine feminine beauty, helping you draw in love, radiance, and inner peace.

Using sacred ingredients with metaphysical correspondences like rose, vanilla, and pink Himalayan salt, this spell bath bomb turns your tub into a temple of unconditional self-devotion. This is glamour magick from the inside out.

Purpose

To open the heart, boost confidence, and draw loving energy to yourself. Best used on a Friday (Venus day) or during the waxing moon.

Scent Meaning

  • Rose: Romantic, soft, divine feminine energy
  • Vanilla: Comfort, sweetness, emotional warmth

Color & Ingredient Symbolism

  • Pink Himalayan Salt: Love, purification, emotional healing
  • Strawberry or Hibiscus Powder: Passion, sweetness, beauty
  • Rose Petals: Attraction, self-devotion
  • Pink Color: Love, compassion, Venus and Aphrodite energy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered strawberry or hibiscus
  • 1 tsp dried rose petals
  • 10 drops of rose essential oil
  • 5 drops vanilla oil
  • Witch hazel in a spray bottle
  • Rose quartz chip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Mix essential oils into a small amount of melted carrier oil and stir into the bowl.
  3. Add pink mica or beetroot powder for color if desired.

  2. Light a pink candle and place a mirror beside the bath.
  3. Gently speak or chant affirmations into the water.
  4. Gaze into the mirror and say your name with love.
  5. After the bath, write a letter to yourself as if you were your own soulmate.

Self-love spells are not vanity—they’re soul nourishment. By setting time aside to bathe in sacred energy, you’re reminding your heart of its inherent worth. Keep a journal nearby, and write any insights that surface. This witchcraft beauty ritual is more than skincare—it’s sacred spellwork for your soul.

Use this bath bomb any time you feel disconnected, unloved, or in need of a magical reset. The more you love yourself, the more the universe responds in kind.
