Black Salt

Pagans, Wiccans, and Voodoo practitioners use black salt in their rituals.

It is intended to be used to rid things of negative energies and to keep negative energy away.

Most people use it for protection of their family and home, but some people also use it for banishing and keeping away unwanted guests.

It can be used for hex and curse breaking. Some people even use black salt to charge their scrying mirrors, as well as for casting circles.

Ingredients

Black salt is extremely easy to make. It takes only a couple of minutes to throw together a decent batch to last you for a while. You probably don't even have to go to the store to buy anything for it, because most of the ingredients are probably things you already have in your house. you can use one, or more of the ingredients below.  Though Skillet Scrapings is the old way of doing it, I prefer the Charcoal.

• 2 parts Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
• 1 part skillet scraping OR
• 1 part ash from fire pit OR
• 1 part crushed black chalk dust OR
• 1 part finely ground Charcoal
• 1 part finely ground Black Pepper

Mix the ingredients together, using a mortar and pestle to ground the ingredients together well. Perform a ritual over the salt or use as is.

Never use dyes or food colorings to make the salt black, because it will make the salt clumpy and unusable for ritual purposes. It is always best to use dry ingredients instead.

Fire Cider

How To Take Fire Cider

Many people take 1-2 tablespoons throughout the fall/winter months as a preventative measure, or every three to four hours if symptoms are present.

Here are some more ways to use it:

• As a “wellness shot”  put about 1 oz. in a shot glass to drink straight up
• As a tea – Breathe in the steam as you sip to relieve congestion
• In juice – For little ones, it’s best to serve a small amount mixed in freshly-pressed orange juice or lemonade
• As a marinade or salad dressing

Fire Cider Recipe

• ½ cup peeled and shredded/diced ginger root
• ½ cup peeled and shredded/diced horseradish root
• ½ cup peeled and diced turmeric OR 1/4 cup additional ginger and 1/4 cup additional horseradish
• ½ cup white onion, chopped
• ¼ cup minced or crushed garlic cloves
• 2 organic jalapeno peppers, chopped
• Zest and juice from 2 organic lemons
• Raw apple cider vinegar
• Raw, organic honey to taste

Optional Additions:

• Several sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
• ½ teaspoon black peppercorns

Equipment

• Quart-sized jar
• Wax paper

Instructions

Add the ginger, horseradish, onion, garlic, jalapeno and lemon juice/zest to a quart-sized jar. Pack them down lightly so that the jar is about 3/4 full. Use a fermenting weight to hold down the veggies/roots, or place heavy roots at the top so that they will weigh down the herbs and jalapenos (which float). Pour a generous amount apple cider vinegar over the roots/vegetables. You want everything to stay under the liquid to prevent spoilage. Keep in mind that some of the roots will expand a little so top it off well.
If you’re using a metal lid, line it with wax paper so that the vinegar doesn’t corrode it, then put the lid on. Place in a dark, room temperature cabinet for 2-4 weeks. (A month is best)
When the cider is ready, shake well and then strain the roots/veggies using a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve. Add honey to taste and store in the fridge.

Spell Bottles

Spell bottles are simply spells in which bottles are used for holding spell items, ingredients, and energy.  Begin collecting bottles. Any bottle or jar will do. Recycling can come into play here - empty peanut butter jars, wine bottles, pickle jars - whatever you have on hand is just fine. Clean your bottles out and remove the labels, and you're ready to begin!  What you put in the bottles depends on the desired outcome you want to achieve. For a love spell, you may add rose petals, seashells as an offering to Aphrodite, and honey to sweeten someone to you. For a money spell, you might use coins, basil, and calcite. For protection, you can add garlic, and sharp objects, such as pins and nails. Commonly used are herbs and crystals, which already have magical properties associated with them from a number of sources. If you don't have easy access to crystals or herbs, you can use found items, and create your own magical properties for them. Bobby pins could be used to secure something in place. Broken glass could be used for protection. A balloon used to represent inflation. A crayon might represent certain properties associated with that color, or even a desire to increase creativity.  Intent, focus, and visualization. Focus on your intentions, your desired outcomes you wish to achieve, and visualize them growing and coming into existence in the bottle.  Decoration depends on personal preference. For example, if you're working on a curse jar, you might want to paint the jar black to keep the curse "in" and focused on only the person or item you are cursing. You could put heart charms on the outside of a love spell bottle, or clover and horseshoe charms on the outside of a luck spell bottle.  When your finished, find a safe place for it. This might be hidden behind books, up on a high shelf, or even buried in the ground. It depends on the spell purpose and personal preference. If you're thinking of burying the bottle spell in the ground, you may want to take into consideration the environment and the local energies, and how your bottle spell will affect them.
