If you feel you've been hexed, or perhaps someone is sending you some other nasty energy, this spell is for you.
When making your War Water base, the only things you'll really need are these:
✨ x1 Jar to keep your water in
✨ Some iron nails (or other bits of iron, though I prefer the symbolism of nails over anything else)
✨ Some disgusting water. The filthier the better (please stay sanitary though!)
✨ Some moss
I *strongly* advise filthy water for making your base. Some will say this isn't necessary, but I disagree. Wicthcraft is all about intention and symbolism. For a tool of hexing, what can be more symbolic than flinging filth? Swamp water, pond water, or some dirty, murky water would also work. If you simply don't have access to those things, you can't go wrong with water from a puddle!
Now, let's get into how to actually make your War Water once you have all the ingredients. Typically, War Water is used for hexing. There are alternatives to for it though such as the spell we are working with today. Ultimately, what it can be used for rests in the intention it's created with.
Begin by adding the nails and moss to your jar of water, keeping the intention in mind as you do so. Consider what you want this to do for you. In this case, we are seeking protection and to undo a spell cast at us. Allow your intention to fill your jar alongside the ingredients. I find it helpful to place this out on a Tuesday.
Periodically for the first week or two, open your jar and close it. This allows oxidation which rusts the nail(s) and will cause the moss to rot. Your War Water will become progressively darker and nastier after doing this for a week or so. Once it has been about a week of this, then leave your jar open for another week or two.
Always remember to be sanitary as well! Do not do this without wearing the proper safety equipment like gloves, glasses, or any other items which might protect you from germs. Under no circumstances should this be consumed.
