How To Make Spiritual Soap

I discovered the joys of producing and using magical soap as a manifestation and attraction tool a few years ago. There isn't much difference between using candles and using soap in magic, except that the soap is more personal and the enchantment follows you after you leave your house. Soap magic, unlike amulets, mojo bags, incense, and other similar items, is imperceptible to others. Most importantly, it couldn't be simpler!

I create my magical soap the “lazy way,” and if you want to make your own from scratch, I recommend purchasing a soap-making book.

Supplies:

1. Several unscented soap bars (you can preserve small leftover pieces of soap until you have enough to build at least two new bars).

2. Magical essential oils or powdered herbs that you want to include in your soap.

3. A cheese grater is a tool that is used to grate cheese.

4. Use two saucepans, one smaller than the other, or a double boiler.

5. Molds- If you want circular soap, you may buy soap molds at a craft store or use a muffin tray.

6. Grease the molds with oil.

Instructions:

1. Spray your molds with cooking oil and place them on a piece of newspaper.

2. Grate the soap bars into the larger of your two saucepans or the top of your double boiler.

3. Fill the bottom pan halfway with water and stir until the soap chunks melt.

4. Add your herbs or essential oils. Keep the end results in mind while you stir the soap mixture; concentrate on what you want to achieve.

5. Fill your molds with the soap mixture and set them aside to harden.

A Few of My Favorite Soaps:

Energizing Coffee Soap — Toss in 1/3 cup freshly ground coffee beans into your soap mixture. This creates an energizing energy soap. It not only keeps your batteries charged throughout the day, but it also smells great and exfoliates your skin to keep you looking radiant.

Yarrow and Rose Soap for Attracting Love – Stir in the yarrow and rose oils to your soap base while meditating on the type of love you want to attract. Instead of using oils, I occasionally ground dried yarrow and rose petals. This gives the soap a touch of color and texture. Both methods are equally effective.

Jasmine Soap that Attracts Money – To make your soap, add either pulverized jasmine flowers or jasmine oil. If you want, you can combine the two. This soap works wonders when it comes to attracting money.

Fats or oils

Your preferred fat or oil is determined by your preferences. Traditionally, animal fat was used to make soap, but plant oils are now commonly employed.

The resultant soap's hardness and lather will vary depending on the oil you choose. The following are some examples of fats and oils used in soap making:

Only use oils derived from animals or plants. Petroleum-based oils cannot be used to make soap.

Water

Water is a necessary component. It's used to create a lye solution that's then mixed with oil. The water aids in the saponification process by assisting the oil and lye. The majority of the water will have evaporated by the time the soap hardens.

It is suggested that you use distilled water. Other liquids are used by some soapmakers, such as:

If you're a beginner, these options can be difficult to work with, so you might want to start with water.

Scents

To clean your skin, you don't need a scent in your soap. However, you can use essential oils or fragrance oils to provide a pleasant scent.

Essential oils are generally made from plants, and you can mix and match them to produce unique scents. Fragrance oils are made of synthetic materials. Look for aroma oils that are gentle on the skin.

Can you put crystals in soap?

Whether you like crystals or not, I think we can all agree that they provide a nice touch to any soap bar. That's why it's such a terrific present! If you're interested in crystals, you can make this soap bar with crystals that have calming, soothing, or inspiring effects.

Small crystals that have been polished are the ideal type of crystals to utilize for your soap bar. The crystal will not scratch your skin when you use the soap this way.

Can I make my own soap?

In order to make soap at home, you'll need two types of ingredients: an acid and a base. In a process known as “saponification,” these chemicals react chemically to produce soap and glycerin as a byproduct. Without these two elements, no commercial or homemade soap can be manufactured.

What is crystal soap?

Crystal Bar Soap is an independent beauty and lifestyle business that claims to “reenergize your spirit and erase negative energy every time you wash” with earth crystals.

How do you make rose quartz soap?

• 16 oz. White Melt and Pour Soap and 16 oz. Clear Melt and Pour Soap, chopped into small consistent chunks Place them in separate heat-safe containers and melt in 30 second bursts in the microwave.
• Disperse 1 teaspoon Rose Gold Mica into 1 tablespoon 99 percent isopropyl alcohol once the bases are totally melted. To remove any mica lumps, mix thoroughly. Fill the melted clear soap with all of the distributed mica.
• In the melted clear soap and the melted white soap, add 5 mL Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil. Stir everything together thoroughly.
• Check the soap's temperature. To make wispy swirls, both bases should be at 125-130 degrees. Fill the mold halfway with white soap. Then, once the cavity is full, pour the pink soap into the white soap. You can pour the colors one after the other or all at once. Swirl the soap using a chopstick, dowel, or tiny spoon. To remove any bubbles on top, spritz with 99 percent isopropyl alcohol.
• Rep until all of the soap has been poured. Allow for several hours or overnight cooling and hardening of the soap. Take them out of the mold.
• Cut the soaps into gem shapes with a sharp non-serrated knife. There is no right or wrong way to accomplish it; all that matters is that you have fun with it.

How do you make amethyst crystal soap?

1 1/2 pounds soap base, diced, melted in a double boiler on the stovetop or in 30-second bursts in the microwave.

Remove the soap from the heat and set it aside for 30 seconds before adding the essential oil. Slowly stir in the oil until it is completely mixed.

Fill six soap molds with soap approximately a third of the way up. Spritz the soap with alcohol and leave it to sit for 2-4 minutes, or until a thick skin has formed on top.

In a heatproof measuring cup, pour about 1/2 of the remaining melted soap base. Add a pinch of purple mica and a pinch of silver mica to the mix. To combine, stir everything together thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the six soap molds, leaving about a third of an inch of room at the top. Spritz the soap with alcohol and leave it to sit for 2-4 minutes, or until a thick skin has formed on top.

To the remaining melted soap base, add roughly 1/8 teaspoon purple mica and 1/8 teaspoon silver mica. Stir well before pouring into the six molds and topping them off. Spritz the soap with alcohol and leave it to sit for 2-4 minutes, or until a thick skin has formed on top. Place the soap in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until it is totally stiffened.

Turn the firm soaps out onto a clean cutting board and cut them into 1/2-inch to 1-inch rectangles with a sharp knife. Make sure to cut each rectangle so that there are three layers of color visible.

To create a faceted and pointy shape, cut the tops of each rectangle at random angles. The crystals are formed as a result of this. Save the remaining soap shards and grind them into gem dust.

Clean the double boiler, then chop the leftover soap base and melt it in the pot. Stir in the remaining essential oil and silver mica once it has melted.

Fill six soap molds with the melted soap base. Spritz the molds with alcohol and immediately start filling them with soap crystals and gem dust. Fill each mold to the brim with as much as you can. The more crystals in each soap, the more durable the overall product will be.

Before removing the soaps from their molds, let them cool and firm entirely. To keep them from sweating, wrap them in airtight cello bags or plastic wrap after they've been removed.

How do you make transparent soap?

I've attempted a few times to make translucent soap, and the results haven't been wonderful! I was inspired to try it again after witnessing Jackie Thompson demonstrate it at the Lonestar Soap and Toiletries seminar. I'll explain what I did and give you my recipe. But don't mistake me for an expert! I didn't obtain fully clear soap, but it's good enough for me. Catherine Failor's Making Transparent Soap is a good place to start. I'll admit that the book was a little perplexing for me, and the recipes are for very large batches, but it could be useful in your study.

What is transparent soap, exactly? Transparent soap is simple hot process soap that uses solvents (such as sugar, glycerin, and alcohol) to dissolve the soap crystals that form, enabling light to pass through.

When making clear soap, make sure you use at least 75% hard oils (coconut oil, palm oil, tallow, lard, stearic acid). All of the extra solvents might soften a recipe with a lot of soft oils. Castor oil should be used in your recipe. Because castor oil contains a small amount of solvent, it works well in translucent soap.

Because unsaponfied oils can cause cloudiness, I used a 0% superfat in my recipe. In translucent soap, the additional glycerin works as a superfat.

All of the clear soap recipes I've seen utilize a combination of solvents, such as glycerin, sugar water, and alcohol. I'm not sure why each of these is used. This will necessitate additional investigation on my part. The amount of solvents I used ended up being the same as the amount of oil I used. 500 grams of oils and 500 grams of solvents were utilized.

Your clear soap can be made in a crock pot. To prevent water/alcohol evaporation, I utilized Jackie's suggestion of using Press & Seal wrap to cover the crock pot.

Warning! Because you'll be using alcohol in this process, keep an eye out for open fires or anything else that could ignite the vapors. Since I was cooking this in my kitchen, I went so far as to blow out the gas starters on my stove. I kept the patio door open to ensure that I had access to fresh air at all times. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of an emergency (a bit dramatic, but you should have one in your kitchen anyways).

I used Save on Citric's denatured alcohol. I couldn't locate it on their website right now, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere. I know a lot of you may ask if you can use rubbing alcohol or whatever from the medical supply store, and my answer is… I'm not sure. Try it out and see what happens. This is the only alcoholic beverage I've tried.

Supplies:

• The ideal hardwoods for ash are maple, ash, and hickory, but any hardwood would suffice. Soft woods can also be used. These, on the other hand, have a lot of resin in them. Instead of a bar soap, you'll end up with a liquid soap (excellent for dishwashing and laundry).
• Normal tap water includes too much chlorine and minerals to be utilized in soap production. To make homemade soap, you can use purified water or just gather rainwater.
• Aluminum should not be used in the pot since the lye will chew through it. Stainless steel or enamel are good choices. A crock pot can also be used.
• Wooden boxes work well as soap molds. You might wish to line the boxes with wax paper!
• Gloves, goggles, old clothes, rubber boots (lye is corrosive and can eat through your skin and clothes!) are all recommended safety equipment.

Step 1: Gather Ashes

To make decent soap, you'll need hardwood ashes that have been burned all the way through. As a result, the ashes must be WHITE. The carbon content of the black wood chunks is excessive.

Putting all of your ashes in a sieve is one (messy) approach to acquire pure white ash.

Sift the ashes through the sieve; the white ash will fall out, leaving the black lumps behind.

Step 2: Make Lye

To manufacture lye from hardwood ashes, you can utilize one of two processes. The first method is simpler, but the results aren't as good.

• Collect the liquid from the pot's top using gloves. It should have a yellowish/brown hue, similar to apple cider vinegar.

The water will be poured through the ash in this technique. Lye will be present in the water that drains away. It's simple to perform, but allow time for the water to drain through the ashes.

• Get a large clay pot, a plastic bucket, or a wooden barrel. Make a hole in the bottom the size of a finger.
• Cover the barrel's bottom with tiny stones. On top of that, add a layer of dried grass or pine needles. Then, on top of that, place your hardwood ash.
• The barrel should be propped up on some planks. To capture the lye, place a bucket or pot underneath.
• You'll see water pouring out of the barrel after around 6 hours. Yes, this is how long it takes! Don't add more water to try to speed up the procedure.

Can soap be made without lye?

Soapmaking is a pleasant activity that also allows you to create fantastic items that you can use in your home, give as a present, or sell for a profit. Working with chemicals (like lye) does not sit well with certain people, which is why the topic of whether soap can be made without lye is frequently asked.

Without lye, you can't manufacture soap from scratch. If you're producing soap from scratch, you'll need lye to complete the saponification process. If you don't want to deal with the lye, melt-and-pour soap bases are a good alternative.

This post will show you how to start creating your own soap without having to deal with lye. But first, let's define soap and discuss the role of lye in the soap-making process. Let's get started.

What did people use before soap?

Many people around the world utilized plain old water before soap, adding sand and mud as exfoliants on occasion. Depending on where you lived and your socioeconomic situation, you might have had access to various scented waters or oils that were applied to your body and then washed away to eliminate filth and hide odor.
