Begin with one gallon of water.
Cleanse and bless the water. Use your hand to make three counterclockwise circles over the water, and imagine the water filling with a beautiful yellow white light. Say something like “I exorcise you, sending out from you any impurity that may lie within!” and imagine any negative energy rushing out of the water, like little bits of darkness or some similar image.
Now charge the water. Use your hand to make three clockwise circles over the water, and imagine the water filling with a beautiful blue white light. Say something like “I do bless and charge you to my purpose” and focus on the vibration of the water raising -imagine it glowing brighter and brighter with the blue white light, and concentrate on attuning it to your purpose (that is, the creation of water for blessing and cleansing).
Now, to the gallon of water add once fluid ounce each of the following oils. You can add more or less than one ounce if you wish, according to taste, so that your mixture becomes unique.
Bergamot
Orange or Neroli (which is a kind of orange)
Lemon
Rose
Lavender
Jasmine
Cinnamon
Clove
Rosemary
Mix the oils gently into the water.
You can also, if you like, use the actual plants rather than or together with the essential oils -for example a sprig of rosemary, dried rose petals, grated lemon or orange rind. But if you do this then instead of a gallon of water you should use equal parts of water and vodka, or distilled alcohol, so that the plant material will not go bad as quickly as it will otherwise.
Now charge your Flower Water. Place your hands above or around the container and flood it with white light. Focus as much light into the bowl as you can, while concentrating on what you want the water to do -that is, to cleanse and purify. Make an incantation to seal your intent. You might say something like:
“I charge you, O water, to be an agent of purification, cleansing all you come into contact with of any negativity it may contain,” or words to this effect.
Now place your water into one or more bottles and seal tightly until use.
To use as a liquid: Prepare a bowl of plain water and cleanse and bless as above. Pour as much Flower Water as desired into the bowl of plain water. Add floater candles. As you light the floaters, repeat the incantation you used to charge the Flower Water, or something similar to it, and visualize the water filled with light. Asperse each person as they enter the ritual space, or allow them to asperse themselves.
One can also place the water in spray bottles to be used as a spray.
