As detailed in the series description, ritual baths were one of the first steps taken to cleanse those who made pilgrimage to temples of Asclepius in pursuit of healing, and salt is a natural agent of purification in ways both physical and metaphysical.
Dead Sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, and epsom salt were combined with essential oils of frankincense, cypress, and tea tree, alongside herbs from the incense mixture, with Asclepius’ blessing.
Draw a bath and add the mixture to the water. Includes a prayer to Asclepius and suggested times for ritual potency. Fully immerse yourself, occasionally wetting the full head and hair for best results. Soak for 13 minutes or more.
The formula of this salt is highly concentrated with essential oil to make less go a longer way. Available in an eight ounce jar, enough for 2 deeply purifying baths, or add smaller amounts to many, utilizing the principle of contagion.

I finally did another ritual cleansing bath and I think these salts are my preferred materia for the procedure. Helps keep it simple by streamlining my materia selection but is also very effective, and I usually use smaller amounts of materia. The difference afterwards is significant.
After a series of deaths in my friend group and in my family from the end of December into January, as well as the anniversary of another death in the family years earlier, I felt heavy with grief. Day in and day out I'd go to work and for eight hours straight I would think of death and grief and wonder why they were taken so young. This went on for weeks. In my moments alone, I would think of death and the injustice of the world and just cry.
I was anointing with Asclepius IV which helped me to express the grief but wasn't cutting into the deep ache I felt. Unlike other deaths I've faced, the tears came easily and I thank Asclepius for that mercy. Still, I was in a pit of despair and I needed to climb out.
I had intended to save the Asclepius bath salts for the ritual bathing protocol but I knew this couldn't wait until then. I drew a bath and made sure each part of me had been submerged in the bath water at least a few times. I cried a few times but no tears came out.
Once I drained the tub (strainer recommended for the bits of herbal mixture & rose of Jericho once you drain), I immediately felt lighter. I hadn't eaten prior to the bath so I was lightheaded. These bath salts really do strip the slog right out of you, but in doing so can also leave you feeling pretty depleted. Having snacks and drinks on hand for after the bath is a must. A nap may also be in order.
This is all to say that these bath salts work absolute wonders but they are not an everyday use kind of thing. If you find yourself giving into grief, burnout, or depression, these bath salts help to alleviate those heavy feelings and leave you feeling much lighter. You'll know when to call upon these bath salts to do their magic.
Side note: if you're going to use these bath salts, I do recommend a full bath if possible, or at least pouring a blend of the water and salt over each part of you. I've used these salts for a few foot baths. Although it's nice, relaxing, and makes my feet feel like they're floating afterwards, I did not get anywhere near the results as I got with a full bath/submersion.
I'm probably someone who has hyped up these bath salts (as a bath and glamour witch) when they first came out, and I have used them loyally ever since. These bath salts provide a nourishing practical means for me to ease my muscles and whatever else is ailing me or sore, but they also help me deepen my practice with the Divine Physician Himself, and by engaging with Him in the bath, I can also deepen spiritual relations. Honestly though, whenever I engage with Asclepius and this material (specifically salts,) I find more out about my body and tend to it-- this is especially true if you combine it with any of the Luna/Moon series. What a beautiful way to engage with the spirits of the stars and bringing it back down to Earth. Thank you Kaitlin + co!
To say that these salts are just so cleansing absolutely does not do them justice. To me, it's like the energetic equivalent of brilliant white light, with nothing else. Afterwards, the slate is clean, ready for whatever you want to add.
I adore these bath salts. I use them in monthly energetic hygiene baths as well as when I’m feeling a bit under the weather, & in either circumstance I feel so replenished afterwards! After several months of use, I have noticed I am overall more resilient spiritually, energetically, & physically. So grateful for Asclepius & for this magic!
All things wonky from a recent diagnosis and its accompanying concerns to sticky negative thought patterns that resist being shook loose found me on the New Moon participating in Kaitlin's Ritual Cleansing Bath. I tend to go the homeopathic route, but I knew this time called for half a jar full.
It's only been 4 days since, but I've already had a couple good days feeling physically better, my mood has perked up, I cleaned half the basement!!, and there's hardly any lag time between a decision and the action I take. Incredibly potent while also very gentle, my relationship with Asclepius and these salts will never not be in my magical cabinet.
Within a month of receiving and using these bath salts, I began to finally take steps towards getting a chronic health issue diagnosed. After ten years of simply coping with the problem! Will be getting my hearing aids fitted this coming Monday. Thank you Asclepius!
These bath salts have a deep, serious, and healing energy to them. I think it's easiest for me to sense the divine coterie in the Asclepius series through these bath salts - it really feels like the equivalent of many people caring for you in sync. These are my go-to salts for any kind of health stress or concern. They're powerfully cleansing.
I definitely experienced a healing crisis with frequent use of these bath salts and kolonia. A habit I couldn’t kick causes and extreme illness and reaction that was quickly resolved; but since then I have not engaged in those habits since.
This form compared to the more solar bath salts is very much for me about cutting away what is causing me illness.
I’ve also been given a clear message and signal that my body is no longer able to do the work that I’m doing.
This form of the bath salts is very grief filled, cord cutting compared to the solar; and for this time in my life I prefer it.
Beautiful medicinal clean scent, just smelling the salts feels cleansing in itself! I used this for my first Ritual Bath and slept SO well afterwards. It's worth following the ritual bath instructions to the letter with this one because it's a deep energetic cleanse. highly recommended.

Water of Asclepius I
Waters, Sprays + Hydrosols, Sold Out, Asclepius IAs further detailed in the series description, cypress, sage, and incense cedar were blessed using the words of Thessalos, given to him in dream by Asclepius, and harvested on the Summer Solstice in the hour of Jupiter. These, along with rose of jericho, were combined in a copper still and immersed in water freshly collected from the headwaters of the Sacramento River in Mt. Shasta. A hydrosol was produced, which was later combined with essential oils of frankincense and rosemary, carnelian, and grain alcohol during the Ras Alhague election, where the water was dedicated to Asclepius and received his blessing.
One of the beautiful qualities of this formulation is that upon vigorous shaking, it turns white — a color associated with healing and purity in many magical traditions.
Sphere + Sundry is pleased with all of the offerings we produce, but the Water of Asclepius in particular is truly something special. For a thorough application, shake well and use as a body and aura spray, making sure to focus around the head, but also applying directly to the chest, palms, and feet.
You will feel instant clarity and refreshment, and it will continue helping clear your field, heart, and mind over the next many hours. Apply before bed to invite healing sleep and potential dream visitations from gods and spirits. Spray in spaces in need of healing, purification, and renewal, especially that carry a negative charge or presence you wish to dispel. Produces emotional, mental, and physical clarity that deepens with continued use. As a regular practice, consider full body applications after showering.
A new edition of the Asclepius series was released on March 21st. Remaining offerings from Asclepius I are available at a discount while supplies last.
Available in a half ounce spray for $26 $19 or a two ounce spray for $52 $39.
Whipped Honey Beautifying Mask
Sundry, Honeys, Face + Body, Masks + Polishes, Sold Out, Venus in Libra IIncense of Asclepius
Sold Out, Asclepius IThis loose incense is comprised of cypress and incense cedar, both harvested on the Summer Solstice and prayed over in the words of Thessalos, given to him in dream by Asclepius (as detailed in the series description). These were combined with wildcrafted white sage, sourced from a Native American owned local business, rose of jericho, frankincense resin, and 24k gold leaf, before invoking the Divine Physician’s blessing as the fixed star Ras Alhague began rising.
This incense is an exquisite smudging mix for the clearing of space and body — in general, after traumatic events, or before ritual. It can also be used to bathe objects you wish to cleanse and restore, such as crystals or ritual implements prior to consecration.
Rod of Asclepius Talismans
Sold Out, Asclepius IGoldsmith Tony Mack collaborated with Sphere + Sundry during the equivalent election in his location to create a stunning set of talismanic snake bound Rods of Asclepius. They feature high grade carnelian set over viper’s tongue, frankincense, and sage, cast in silver. It just so happened that he made 13, a number he did not previously know was associated with Ophiuchus. Our goldsmith reported two weeks after the Work was done:
[pullquote]I’m starting to notice some effects from the staffs on myself. I’ve been getting up way earlier than usual with a lot of energy. Also some inflammation I’ve had for months started to disappear.[/pullquote]
Wear on your person for healing and to help transmute poison into medicine. These are helpful for preserving health and warding away disease, but can also be used by those who have an ongoing health struggle or are taking medications that produce negative side effects. These are wonderful to wear if you work in a healing profession and want to bring the Divine Physician’s blessing into the realm of your client or patient work.
Each talisman comes with a silver chain in a beautiful box hand decorated by Tony. It includes a bottle of Asclepius anointing oil, recommended times for feeding and empowering your talisman, and a prayer to Asclepius.
Smaller 4ct carnelian pieces for $429 are sold out. Ornate 24ct carnelian with snake backing, herbs and viper's tongue inlaid into the bezel for $729 are also sold out.

I’ve only used the salts for a full bath once. I found it greatly facilitated a light healing trance. As I floated, I started to “see” sticky, dark grey energy drifting out of my hair like fluid draining from an abscess. I found myself crying and pulling and pulling the energy out of my hair with my hands, shaking it into the water to dissolve. It was hard work, and at the same time I got the feeling it wasn’t a particularly deep emotional wound being lanced; just a surface one that was ready to resolve. The bath left me tired but calm. I saved a jar of the water and have poured it into subsequent baths for mini-cleanses that are refreshing but not quite so intense.
I’ve been using this bath salt over the winter and I’m happy to report that even a small amount packs a big punch! I’ve been using the principle of contagion for this and its been working really well. It’s provides a calming herbal background, and really helps draw out some of the negative things you’ve been holding on to. Would purchase again!
My experience with the Asclepius bath salts was lovely. First off, the package arrived with the local Ascendant in Sagittarius, five degrees away from Ras Alhague! Secondly, I had the strong urge to go to the woods, not an unusual urge for me, but still it was strong… within 1/2 an hour I encountered an incredible symbol of Asclepius in the woods. A vine perfectly snaked around an exceptionally rod-like young tree, the vine having embedded into the trunk as the tree matured. Again, I see a lot of vines wrapped around trees, but this one is just astounding. Thirdly, the baths with the salts were wonderfully restorative (I split the jar into 2 rich baths, taken during Jupiter-focused elections). I was in a state of energetic starvation from a very rough late summer among Mars retrograde and the eclipses. On top of that, I was feeling the Venus move into Scorpio with some heavy confrontations with my past. The salts fed my spirit very nicely and space opened up for processing, integration, release. I have all together noticed an incredible boost in my acceptance of suffering, which may not sound like the most romantic notion, but to me that is gold. Oh, and the scent is wonderful!
These bath salts are absolutely fantastic. Just as bath salts, the quality of the ingredients make this a wonderful bath time experience. The scent is wonderfully calming, medicinal and herbal without being bitter. Magically speaking, as soon as you open the glass jar (which is a really nice touch, and reusable!) you know you’re holding some potent stuff. I plan on saving this for the days where I really need a extra boost to wipe things away.
Field report. This summer has been rough, with something like seven different planets going retrograde and three eclipses. I’ve been schlepping along with very low energy and almost zero motivation. The morning after the third eclipse of the season, I woke after a night of bad dreams feeling just awful. I decided to take a purifying Asclepius bath. I used half the jar and immersed myself for about 20 minutes, periodically dunking my head completely under the water as well.
I felt better immediately, but the really amazing shiz started about a half hour after I got out of the bath. I started feeling like I had to cough some crap up out of my lungs, and I did in fact cough a bit. Then I sneezed violently maybe a dozen times in a row, and blew my nose for what felt like three minutes straight. For the rest of the day I physically felt like I was in the last stages of getting over a cold. I knew I was “getting better”, even though to my knowledge I hadn’t been “sick” if that makes any sense. I was also kind of sleepy, and I made sure I drank a ton of water. I feel like I got rid of a ton of gunk, both physically and energetically. In the days afterward I continue to feel lighter and have a bit more pep. I’m interested to see what the long term effects might be.
This stuff works, friends. It really does. Kaitlin, thank you so much for this series.
The Bath Salt of Asclepius arrived at our home just when they were most needed. We appreciated that the order was securely packaged and came with tracking info. We also enjoyed the beautiful jar containing the salts themselves. What we didn’t expect–but LOVE–were the detailed notes, prayers and rituals included. This offering is just perfect, and we are grateful to be able to source it from you. Looking forward to many future offerings!!
