9 Different Types of Magickal Waters

Water is a powerful conduit for energy, transformation, and intention. Different types of natural waters carry unique energetic properties, making them essential tools in spellwork, rituals, and spiritual practices. Whether you’re working with the moon’s gentle glow or the fierce energy of a storm, these magickal waters can enhance your craft.

Moon Water

Moon water is water charged under the moon’s light, absorbing its mystical energy. Each phase of the moon carries its own influence, so experiment by creating moon water at different phases.

Full Moon Water: Used for intuition, dreams, and divination. Ideal for enhancing psychic abilities and emotional healing.

New Moon Water: Perfect for shadow work and beginning anew.

Waning Moon Water: Great for banishing, releasing, and protection spells.

Waxing Moon Water: Supports growth, attraction, and manifestation.

How to Use: Add to baths for spiritual cleansing, use in teas or sprays for intuitive work, or anoint candles for lunar-aligned spells.

Sun Water

Sun water is water charged in the sunlight, infused with vibrant solar energy. It radiates confidence, vitality, and success.

How to Use: Use in morning rituals for motivation, spray around your space to invite warmth and positivity, or incorporate into spells for personal power and manifestation.

If you’re feeling especially witchy, make some sun tea by placing a jar with water and tea bags outside in the sun. It will infuse the tea with the sun’s invigorating energy.

Stormwater

Stormwater carries the raw, chaotic energy of nature’s tempests, making it an excellent tool for transformation, protection, and high-energy spells.

How to Use: Use stormwater in spells for breaking through obstacles, charging sigils with fierce energy, or empowering banishing rituals.

It makes for a great base in war water or as an ingredient in jars when you just have to put a bitch in a jar!

Rainwater

Rainwater is a cleansing, renewing force, symbolizing fertility, healing, and emotional release. It washes away stagnation and nourishes new growth.

How to Use: Add to floor washes for home cleansing, use in fertility rituals, or anoint tools for spiritual purification.

You can also collect rainwater for your indoor plants, bringing even more nature inside.

Dew Water

Dew water, collected in the early morning, is gentle and mystical. It carries the essence of new beginnings, youthfulness, and fae magick.

How to Use: Use in beauty spells, anoint your Third Eye chakra for inspiration, or incorporate into rituals to attract fae energy.

Snow Water

Snow water embodies stillness, patience, and the slow, transformative power of winter. As it melts, it carries the energy of gradual change and clarity.

How to Use: Use in spells for endurance, inner peace, and long-term manifestation. It’s also great for freezing negativity in place.

Ocean Water

Ocean water holds the vast power of the tides, deeply connected to emotions, the subconscious, and the Divine Feminine. It is excellent for healing, banishing, and working with moon cycles.

How to Use: Use in spells for emotional release, sea witchcraft, or rituals honoring deities like Yemaya and Aphrodite.

River Water

Flowing river water is linked to movement, change, and manifestation. It helps push stagnant energy away and encourages progress in life.

How to Use: Use in spells for career growth, travel, or releasing obstacles. Write an intention on paper and let it float away in river water to set it into motion.

Swamp Water

Murky and mysterious, swamp water is a powerhouse for shadow work, spirit communication, and ancestral magick. It carries ancient wisdom and the energy of transformation from decay to rebirth.

How to Use: Use in spells for uncovering hidden truths, deep healing, or enhancing spirit work.

Collecting & Storing Magickal Water

• Use glass bottles or jars to store water for longevity. Label each one with the date and intention.
• Charge your water by placing it under the moon or sun or using it in a ritual setting.
• Add natural preservatives like a pinch of sea salt or a few drops of alcohol (vodka or witch hazel) to keep it fresh if you’d like.
• Keep track of your waters’ uses and energies in your Grimoire or Book of Shadows.

Magickal waters are simple yet powerful tools in any practitioner’s repertoire. Whether you’re channeling the nurturing energy of rain or the fierce force of a storm, water connects you deeply with nature and your own inner power.
