...so I don't fall into the whole holy water/bless(ed/ing) water thing...b/c I consider all water in its pure form (ie...rain water, sea water, spring water, lake water) that hasn't been processed in its current "incarnation" (considering that there is a water cycle and todays rain was last years bottled water), as being part of nature is about as blessed/holy as its gonna get...my interference doesn't improve anything...

but here are some resources anyway...

I make "holy water" as well -- and call it that.  Wink

I will sometimes use salt, but not always since I use it to bless my garden and property, and I certainlly don't want salt in the soil!!

I will sometimes not use anything in the water.  And will use tap water -- although water collected during a thunderstorm is my favorite.

In my way of thinking, all magick is about intent.  If I hold my vessel full of water and focus on blessing and purifying the water of negativity and fill it with the qualities to protect, cleanse, etc. and project my will into the water, it is so.  Like the ceremonial magicians and Wiccans say "As I do will it, so may it be."

Actually you can hold the container of water in your hands, visualize it being filled with white light, and offer a prayer asking your goddess to bless the water and fill it with pure, protective energy.  Most rituals I have found for making blessed or holy water are timed to the full moon to draw on that powerful energy to charge the water, but you can do it at anytime.  I might do it on a Monday since that is the Moon's day and is sacred to the Goddess.  Adding stones or crystals, or even sea salt helps amplify the water's energy.  Blessing water is a lot like blessing or consecrating your tools or altar.  The energy that "blesses" these things is the energy that you draw into yourself and direct into the water or the tool.

Holy water is to be blessed by a Catholic priest.

Go to a catholic church.  They usually have bowls of it or small containers of it by the doors....it's there for blessing yourself when you walk in, but alot of people fill bottles with it, because it's already blessed.  And most churches have a store in them where you can buy it in bottles.  My family's church, where I was baptized had one and a huge bowl of holy water up front where my grandma would get bottles and fill them there.

I thought I would burn when I went to my grandmothers funeral for being, at first, into the dark arts, second turning pagan, and third, not going to confession in 6 years.  But the rumor is indeed not true.

"holy" water for a pagan is water directly from the earth. This can be defined as water that has never been purified by anything mechanical. This eliminates water from a faucet or store bought bottled stuff. True Pagan holy water is gathered from a tree stump, caught in a glass or stone vessel under the full moon or collected from a living stream or natural spring. Hope this helps.
Good journey friend

Well, actually I've come across no few "folk magics" that do call for the use of "strong spirits" in the spellcasting, although I don't think you were supposed to drink the stuff.  There's one that starts "Whiskey and rum, whiskey and rum...."  OK..now I'll spend the rest of my day with that running around in my poor wee pea brain.  Have to find the book to get to get the rest of it.  I think it was a prosperity spell though.

Yes, I tried it and I got so drunk I thought I was the King of England. How's that for a prosperity spell? Next time I will know better than to drink it right?  Tongue

i don't think it haves to be blessed by a catholic priest.
i heard that non-catholics use it. and that we can make holy water to. Undecided
No it has to be blessed by the Christian God

Just go to your Churches Gift Shop and buy some there because the spring water does not contain any Chlorine so therefore cannot  kill the evil germs
