Savannah’s War Water

USE: I use War Water in Protection rituals, banishing spells, and in other types of cursing works.

INGREDIENTS:

• Urine
• jar
• Nails
• sulfur

Sometimes I forget to share the basics, such as a recipe for War Water, as I feel I’ve already shared it in some other video, or blog post. Or perhaps it’s because I’ve been doing various styles of witchcraft for so long, I assume everyone else would have this type of magical tool in their collection.

Regardless, today I’m going to share with you my version of War Water. You probably have a version of this type of water yourself, and maybe you just use water instead of urine in your mix. When I create a batch of war water, it’s normally in a large mason style jar, and this jar lasts me for years. At the end of the jar, I don’t throw out the old remaining mix, rather I add new materials into the same jar. If you have ever made home-made yogurt, you always keep the culture from the last batch and fold into the new batch. This is the same concept.

I use urine and not water. And to be more specific, I capture the first urine of the morning for the war water, to make the war water as disgusting and potent as possible. Naturally, if you’re a male, this will be an easy process for you! As a female, a tip would be to collect your urine into a jar while standing in the shower recess.

Nails are also an important component, and rusty nails are best. If you don’t have rusty nails, but you do have time, add in your freshly purchased standard nails, but make sure you leave the nails in the urine for as long as they take to go rusty. Perhaps your grandparents, a builder friend, or someone who has a country property, would have some old nails lying around, and all you need is a handful.

On my Sydney property, I have an old outdoor barbecue that nobody has used for a decade at least. This barbecue has a lot of rust, and I add this rust directly to the war water (Rust is also an important component to my DUME base.) If you have something rusted, maybe you want to add this to your war water base.

The other ingredient is sulfur. Add a good handful to the mason jar.

That’s it! Done.

TIPS:

• Once I have added all the ingredients, I like to leave the jar outside in the sun. Maybe for a week or two? Just depending on if I feel it has enough energy for what I need.
• I don’t leave the lid open to assist in the oxidation of the nails, as one would if only water was in the jar. The smell is quite pungent.
• I advise you to ALWAYS & ONLY open the jar in an open space, as the fumes will always be quite overwhelming.
• I decorate the jar and the lid with war style sigils
• I should also say that I collect urine on a Tuesday under the energy of Mars. It’s good practice to always create whatever you’re making with consideration to the planetary correspondences.

Too much? If you don’t want to make the warm water yourself we do sell War Water in our black magic witch store.

Traditional War Water

Ingredients

1. Water: Clean, preferably spring or distilled water.
2. Salt: Sea salt or kosher salt for purification and protection.
3. Vinegar: White vinegar or apple cider vinegar for cleansing properties.
4. Herbs: Optional herbs such as:
   • Rue: Known for protection.
   • Basil: For purification and protection.
   • Cayenne Pepper: To add a kick and enhance protective qualities.

Equipment

• A clean glass jar or bottle with a lid.
• A small saucepan (if using herbs).
• A stirring utensil.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Water:
   • Start with about 2 cups of water in a saucepan.
2. Add Salt:
   • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt to the water, stirring until it dissolves.
3. Add Vinegar:
   • Pour in about 1/2 cup of vinegar, mixing well.
4. Infuse with Herbs (optional):
   • If using herbs, add them to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This helps infuse the water with the properties of the herbs.
   • After simmering, let it cool down, then strain out the herbs.
5. Bottle the War Water:
   • Pour the liquid into your clean jar or bottle. If you used herbs, ensure you strain them out before bottling.
6. Charge the Water:
   • Place the bottle in a sunny or moonlit spot to charge it with energy. You can also hold it in your hands and focus your intention on protection and purification.
7. Usage:
   • Use the War Water to cleanse spaces, anoint objects, or sprinkle around your home for protection. You can also use it in rituals or spells.

Storage

• Keep the War Water in a cool, dark place. It can last for several months, but if you notice any changes in smell or appearance, it’s best to make a new batch.
