Curiosity About Your Water Options

Hey there, Elodea here to bring you a curiosity about Altar water:

Would Altar water work better if it was CLEANSED of all energy or IMBUED with all energy?

Would said water be negated if charged?

What type of water do you use?


To start with, I cleanse my water of any and all energy so that it can be more versatile in works. I kinda view imbuing the water with all the elements as 'dirtying' the water up. If charged, unless you're going to use it I guess I wouldn't mind but charging it and not using it destroys the whole point. I use tap water and simply cleanse it, though sometimes I wonder if boiling it would be better? Maybe even buying distilled water...though that will probably never happen since that is counter cost-productive.


Opinions?

I'm wondering what to do with it after it's been used on the alter!
I kept feeling awkward and guilty for chucking it down the loo, so i started keeping it in an old wine bottle, it's almost full now.
My alter water kept getting flys in it and i'd use essential oils as-well which would eventually get quite bacterial after a while, not sure what all this strange water will do if drunk..

I took my alter down the night before last after i got dumped, it's been up an changing for over 2 years, i just got pissed off that my psychological magical side had become so fixed in material symbolism,
get's so intense moving stuff around etc..
It's been a very rewarding experience having one for so long, really helps understanding the elements, i think the main reason for me having used one is that it helps smooth out the extra effects of a magical act (regulates repercussions etc)
helps organize the whole show though, triggers~(fire) identity's ~(water) places~(earth) an effects~(air). Or whatever other way you wana interpret their functions, very usefull.

I had a very messy Alter thinking about it, can't begin to remember what kind of spells i did,
probably why a lot of them seemed to fail..

I might make some wine with it.. i'd need to boil it, would that accidentally cleanse it do u think? pressure cooker any better?
Might be the key to making some of those blighters work!, glad i wrote this post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Drinking it will likely make you sick in several ways. One it is mixed with oils and bacteria/dead things, and Two you did all kinds of magick with it - the effects will linger.

Toss it out in your yard. Changing you alter supplies is less like cleaning out your fridge than it is changing the table flowers everyday. The point is to keep things fresh and replenish the source of the element frequently. It is important to note that you are putting energy into your alter. The water is the conduit for the elemental energy not the energy itself. It will go stale and impede your work if you let it hang around after it is used up.
