Protection/Warding Black Salt
Not to be confused with volcanic salt/Himalayan black salt/kala namak. Black salt has strong protective properties, especially when combined with other protective/uncrossing herbs (herbs meant to undo a curse or hex). It’s used to absorb negative energy, create wards, and undo curses. It’s also good for banishing and binding. Here’s my recipe:
What you’ll need:
- Cleansing items, such as smoke, bells, spray, whichever you personally use.
- Sea Salt
- Charcoal Disk (or charcoal powder)
- Black Candle
- Rosemary
- Garlic Powder
- Chili Powder
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Paprika
- Black Pepper
- Black Candle
- Bowl
- Mortar & Pestle
- Black stones/crystals
- Any additional protective items you may have. (Here I gathered dried red peppers, dried chili peppers, lemon, sage, and ashed from a Litha bonfire.) These items are for You to draw some extra energy from, and won’t be directly added to the salt.
- Frankincense and/or Dragon’s Blood incense.
Instructions:
- First, cleanse your space using whatever best works for you.
- After cleansing, start your frankincense and/or dragon’s blood incense, this will be going for the duration of the spell.
- Light your black candle.
- Gather your supplies as seen in the picture.
- As always, make sure your intention is strong, and continuously draw from it. Return to your intent no matter how often your mind wanders (which it will, that’s ok).
- In a bowl, mix the salt with the herbs first.
- Remember your other protective items are there for you to use. If needed, refocus on their protective energies and draw from that.
- Use a mortar and pestle to crush the charcoal disk separately. This takes a lot of physical energy, and it is very messy. If you prefer to use charcoal powder, that’s ok, though charcoal disks will be cheaper. I like charcoal disks because I feel more energetically involved in/connected to the process.
- Mixing counterclockwise, mix the very finely crushed charcoal into the salt. Mix. Use as many charcoal disks needed to get to the level of darkness you want.
- Mind wandering? Remember your intent! Refocus!
- When you’re done, transfer the black salt into a jar and set the crystals around it in a circle. Let it continue to build and charge this way, until you feel it is ready. If you’re not sure, it can also be until the candle or incense goes out.
Done! Sprinkle this around the parameter of your wards, such as along doorways and windows. It can also be used during unhexing/curse breaking spells, general protection spells, banishing, and binding.
This is NOT FOR CONSUMPTION.
Even if you used edible activated charcoal, know that 1. charcoal interacts with many medications by basically absorbing them and rendering them useless, including birth control, diabetes medications, cancer drugs, and more. and 2. I’m not sure this would taste great?
