The beach has always felt magical to me, even before I knew what real magic was. I love the smell of the water, the rhythmic crash of waves, and the breeze that tickles my shoulders as I soak in the sun.
Whether you live near the ocean or travel there on vacation, make sure you take some time between your sandcastle-making and your boogie boarding to perform a spell or two. Such a majestic place will almost certainly give your spells a power as big as the ocean itself.
Here are thirteen things every sea witch needs to make her summer more magical.
1. Vegan, crystal-powered bath products to soothe your sun-soaked skin.
Crystal Bar Soap is a female-owned business that offers handmade, natural soaps, bath bombs, and other bath products that smell amazing and are great for your skin. They are also just beautiful to look at, and each product comes with a tumbled crystal.
You'll love the Offering From The Sea bath bomb, which according to the company smells like "magic fresh waters made for mermaids" and comes with a cocoa butter seashell to nourish your dry summer skin. It also contains a tumbled Angel Aura crystal, which "helps one to be a beacon of inner beauty, peace and spiritual awareness during ones journey in this world".
2. A nourishing body butter to stay moisturized.
Days out in the sun and on the windy coastlines can really do a number on your skin. Witch Baby Soap creates unique and intricate soaps, bath bombs, and body butters.
Try the Third Eye Body Butter, which smells like "beach side psychic shop, neon lights after dark, and the moon rising gently over crashing waves". There are three different sizes to choose from, and two of these come with a tumbled clear quartz. The eco-friendly glass jar can be used afterwards to store your treasures.
3. A delicate sea glass jewelry piece from the shores of Hawai'i.
Sea and Glass crafts jewelry out of sea glass. Each piece is unique and they also offer custom designs.
Buy a beautiful necklace to show your connection to the ocean. Or a stunning driftwood and sea glass mobile to hang in your home or garden (if you can get your hands on one, they sell out fast!).
4. An abalone shell to rest your incense or smudge stick.
Abalone shell is said to bring peace and calmness. It's also reflective and lovely to look at, it's blue and green swirls reminiscent of the ocean.
Check out this abalone shell available from the Hood Witch, perfect for your crystals, palo santo, incense, or smudge sticks.
5. Lay out on a woven towel or use it for your layout.
As an avid beachgoer, I swear by Sand Cloud towels. There are so many different designs that will appeal to everyone and these towels do not hold onto sand and water like a traditional bath towel does. They are perfect for a day or evening on the beach (Get $15 off your order).
6. A witchy float to chill on in the pool or river.
KillStar has many cool bathing suits, sunglasses, and towels that are ripe for the summer. But you'll really die for this XL batwing floatie.
7. An electric jellyfish bag to carry your sunscreen or small treasures.
This bag features a jellyfish design and an adorable crescent moon zipper charm. Perfect for your makeup, sunscreen, or the goodies that you need by the sea.
8. A hair mist to untangle your unruly beach hair.
From Fat and the Moon, the Spirit and Salt Mist is a tincture of rosemary and saw palmetto that includes the hydrating superpowers of hyaluronic acid. A few mists spritzed like a halo around your head will give you a nice bit of texture and wave.
9. A mini treasure chest for your altar or to bury a hex.
This small wooden chest from J. Southern Studio will make you feel like a pirate who just discovered buried treasure.
10. A hand poured candle to burn on your altar.
These lovely hand poured soy candles from Mystical Ritual on Etsy smell like the ocean and are full of shells, crystals, and dried plants.
11. A witchy sticker pack to decorate your world.
These adorable stickers from ScreamPrint Shop on Etsy are perfect to show off your sea witch pride.
12. Crystallized shells to help you connect to the universe.
The Ritual shop offers different shells for your needs. The high vibration moonstone mermaid shell is for connecting to our intuition, the moon, and dreams. The crystal mermaid shell is the mermaid's ear of the sea and helps you connect to the water element.
