Spirit
The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning "breath", but also "soul, courage, vigor"
The English word "spirit" has many differing meanings and connotations, but commonly refers to a supernatural being or essence — transcendent and therefore metaphysical in its nature. For many people, however, spirit, like soul, forms a natural part of a being: such people may identify spirit with mind, or with consciousness, or with the brain.
potions
: a mixture of liquids (for medicine or healing)
A potion (from latin potionis, meaning beverage, potion, mixture) is a consumable or topical medicine or remedy, usually possessing magical properties.

For example...Love potions make a person fall in love with another, sleeping potions cause a person to fall asleep. Sometimes referred to as Elixirs; potions were used to heal/cure most any wound/malady throughout the ages.

ritual bath
religious or magic ceremony involving the use of water to immerse or anoint a subject's body. The many forms of baptism (q.v.), ranging from total submersion to a symbolic sprinkling, indicate how certain ritual baths can vary in form even while retaining the same purificational meaning. Ritual baths may be taken while the subject is dressed or nude, in churches or other buildings, in rivers, streams, or ponds; but often the bath and the locus have mutually reinforcing symbolic meanings, as in the tirthayatra (see tirtha), the typical Hindu pilgrimage bath in a holy river or stream, or the upanayana (q.v.), the Hindu rite of initiation before a young man's guru.
