To Ask for Strength and Wisdom
Begin by lighting a seven-day red candle. Place it in a vase next to two fully opened red roses. Then, scatter the petals of a pink rose around the candle. Focus your energy and light the candle. During this process, visualize your request for the wisdom, strength, and power of Mary Magdalene.
Mary Magdalene’s Bath
Start by boiling one and a half liters of water. Add three bay leaves and boil for three minutes. Then, add dried sage leaves and boil for another two minutes. Turn off the heat, add the petals of a red rose, and cover the pot for 20 minutes. Once the water has cooled to a lukewarm temperature, strain it. Pour the remaining water back into the pot. After taking your regular bath, pour this water with red petals over your head, visualizing wisdom, strength, and power.
