The Ritual Has Begun ...
Please schedule a half hour (or more)
for your Pre-Wesak Soak

For your wellbeing, purification, upliftment
and our common harmonic alignment ...

Hyssop, Sage and Lavender

Hyssop aligns one to receive the bestowings of grace.
The cleansing herb of the Old Testament: Purge me with hyssop
and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (Psalms 51:7)

Sage

The great Present Timer: momentary wisdom. Sage severs our ties
to external vibrations and so (for a spell) destroys illusion.

Lavender

Suggestions: For a pre-Wesak ritual bath, we recommend blending these three herbs mixed together ~ in 1/2 part Sage, to 1/4 each parts Hyssop and Lavender, or whatever portions feel right to you intuitively. A total of about one cup of the dry herb combination is recommended, which is steeped in boiling water, and can be varied  according to your preferred strength.

1. A half hour or more before dressing for this year’s Wesak celebration:
   Put a quart of water in a glass or enamel pot.
   Stir in these sacred herbs.
   Set heat on high.
2. Run your Buddha Bath (candle, incense, celestial music optional).
3. Just as the pot boils, turn off heat and let steep ‘til bath is ready.
4. Pour contents through a large strainer into the bath, then run water through herbs in strainer.
5. Get into it.
6. Know that you are being Spiritually Cleansed for purposes of

At Onement
Illumination
And Service to the Most High ...

While soaking, immerse yourself three times with a
personal prayer for spiritual cleansing and illumination.

*In 2008 the Festival of the Wesak full moon in Taurus
