Witches Magickal Salts

Used for: Rituals, Spellcraft, Spellcasting, Water Energy, Earth Energy, Elemental Energy, Cleansing, Banishing, Protection, Offerings.

Many different magickal traditions call for the use of salt in spells and rituals.

For centuries, it’s been known as a very magickal – and also very valuable – ingredient.

But why is salt such a magickal item? Let’s look at some of the history behind the use of salt in magic, and some of the ways it’s commonly used in folklore and legend.

Salt was actually pretty important in the grand scheme of human civilization. In the early days of mankind - or at least the days prior to industrialisation - the process of harvesting salt was time consuming and labour intensive. This meant that salt was a pretty valuable commodity, and only the rich could afford it. The Romans actually paid their soldiers with salt, because it was so important for things like food preservation. Interestingly, the word “salary” has its root in the Latin word for salt.

So, in addition to being pretty important and a pricey bit of material, salt began to find its way into the metaphysical and spiritual realm. In many Eastern belief systems, such as

Buddhism, salt is used both as a purifier and to repel evil.

In parts of Germany, Normandy, and Scotland, salt was used in or around a butter churn to keep witches from souring the butter or harming the cow from which the cream was obtained.

Irish folk remedies include the use of salt, combined with a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer, to cure those who might have been “fairy-struck.” A similar story comes from Bavaria and Ukraine, in which salt were used to determine if a child was bewitched.

Egyptian caravans setting out on a journey across the desert used to perform a ritual that

involved burning salt on hot coals. This was done to ensure that evil spirits wouldn’t get in the way of the travellers.

Using Salt Within Magick
Salt has maintained its usefulness in modern folk magick traditions as well.

- Creates a magickal, protective barrier.

- Salt in general is used in ritual purification, magickal protections and blessings.

- Some witches place salt in the four corners of the room before casting.

- Used in purification spells.

- Used to symbolize the earth element on your altar or when you are casting.

- Sea salt may be used as the water element due to the fact that it came from the sea.

- Use within Witches Bottles.

- Can be used as an offering to Deities.

- As salt was used as currency in history it is also used for Abundance today. Mixing the salt with green herbs and powders used for abundance and wealth will give the salt the green hue which adds the green colour correspondence as well to the salt mixture.

- Cleanses

- Repels many types of evil.

- Salt may also be added to a ritual bath to absorb negative energy surrounding a person.

(Epsom Salt & Himalayan) or Apply salt scrub directly to the skin. Once the salt has

absorbed the negative energy, it is then washed away as the tub is drained.

Most witches use salt in almost every ritual or spell they perform. As mentioned before, salt can be used to create protective barriers to cleanse your magickal ritual circle before working. You can also place bowls of salt in corners of a room to catch any negative energies and banish them from the space. Some witches use salt as an offering to particular deities and spirits.

But why stop there? Why not draw symbols and sigils in the salt to add that extra bit of energy within a ritual or spell. Simply spread a thin layer on a surface (try using a dedicated tray or plate as cleaning up will be easier) and draw your symbols with your finger, wand, wooden spoon etc. I would personally discard this salt after my spell or ritual is complete, however if you are charging the salt with a specific purpose then collect the salt up and store, ready for when you need it.

Typical Types of Salt Used

Himalayan Salt
Himalayan salt is pink in color. Himalayan salt aligns the earth with the universe. This salt is great for protection during astral travel and when spiritually traveling between worlds as well as being the salt within Pink Witches Salt.

Sea Salt

Sea salt is often used in purification and cleansing baths. Because it is from the sea, ruled by the element of water, which also deals with emotions, sea salt is great for spells to help

release and cleanse negative feelings. Great to use within Black Witches Salt.

Epsom Salt

Mainly used within Bath Ritual Salts and Scrubs. Naturally removes toxins from the body therefore will help with cleansing and purification within witchcraft.

Table Salt

Table salt is the least expensive of all the salts, and is generally used for home and sacred space cleansing rituals and protection circles. This salt is the cheapest way of incorporating salt into your practice. Witchcraft on a budget!

Witches Salts

You may have heard of Witches Salts whilst riding your broom through your journey. But if you haven’t let me break 2 most popular ones down for you.

Pink Witches Salt

Pink Witches Salt is used in love magick and rituals and carries a beautiful calm and loving energy with it. Himalayan Salt is used within this Salt. Carry Pink Witches Salt in a pouch for any emotional and spiritual healing when needed. You can sprinkle it on your altar when performing a ritual or casting a spell for love, friendship, romance etc. You may wish to sprinkle it around a candle during these spells and rituals to bring a gentle and peaceful energy.

Pink Witches Salt on your altar is a lovely offering to deities and spirits that are connected to love such as Aphrodite. Use this salt anywhere you feel the need, it can be spread anywhere you wish to bring a loving energy to.

Black Witches Salt

For those who want something for protection within their stash of magickal tools, you should have Black Witches Salt. Black Salt (not to be confused with Black Salt from Indian Cuisine) is used by Pagans, Witches, Wiccans, Voodoo and Hoodoo practitioners for its extreme protective elements. It can be spread just about anywhere - your home, your workplace, your ritual circle, etc - and its purpose is to drive away those that would do you harm (whether physical or spiritual). Black Salt is also said to be an ingredient for creating a hex or curse. Remember, whatever you cast out comes back to you. You can sprinkle it on your altar when performing a ritual or casting a spell for protection, banishing etc. You may wish to sprinkle it around a candle during these spells and rituals to bring an added protective energy.

I make these myself for you to purchase within Kallima Spiritual Centre or online via our website. However if you wish to make your own then he’s a couple simple DIY’s for you to do at home.

Witches Salts DIY Step-By-Step

- Black Witches Salt -

Items Needed:

- Mortar & Pestle
- Glass Jar or any sealable container
- Mixing Bowl

Ingredients:

- Sea Salt or table salt
- Black Peppercorns
- Ash of incense or burned herbs
- Activated Charcoal Discs

Step-By-Step

- Place a activated charcoal disc into Mortar & Pestle and grind into fine powder.
- Place charcoal powder into mixing bowl with salt.
- Place some Black Peppercorns in Mortar & Pestle and grind as fine as you can.
- Place Ground Black Peppercorns into mixing bowl with salt and charcoal.
- Place ash of burned incense/herbs into the bowl mixture.
Use herbs you have burned specifically for the banishing and protective properties. Do not mix incense ash from a variety of spells as this can influence the energy of the black salt to a different purpose.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly with Intention.
Mix in a counter-clockwise direction to banish negative energies.
- Recite your intention.
For Example ‘May this salt banish all negative energies from my space and keep me protected as I work, So Mote It Be’
- Place mixture into glass jar and label.

- Pink Witches Salt -

Items Needed:

- Mortar & Pestle
- Glass Jar or any sealable container
- Mixing Bowl

Ingredients:

- Himalayan Salt
- Pink/Red dried herbs for love

Step-By-Step

- Measure desired amount of salt needed and place into mixing bowl.
- Place the red/pink flowers/herbs into Mortar & Pestle and grind as fine as you can.
- Place the ground flowers/herbs into mixing bowl.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Mix in a clockwise direction to draw loving energy into the mixture.
- Recite your intention.
For Example ‘May this salt bring loving energies into my space and keep me protected as I work, So Mote It Be’
- Place mixture into glass jar and label.

Now there are other ways to use Salt within your craft or spiritual practice. You can add salt into hot water when cleaning the floors or washing your front door/windows. Pop some salt into a room spray to add that extra cleansing energy into the air. Or a simple and fun way to use salt within your home are Salt Bowls.

Salt Bowls
Salt absorbs what is in the air around it, like odors for instance. so it is a great physical cleanser as well as energetically. That’s a good thing!. Salt will need to be replaced and recharged as time goes on. If you are in a particularly negative environment your salt may need to be cleared up more frequently. Incorporate it into your home practice by making Salt Bowls for your home. A salt bowl in your home can absorb water, emit ions, and kill bacteria. Some people like to buy fancy salt lamps for this purpose, but a simple bowl filled with salt can do the trick, too.

A few things to consider:

• Do not eat this salt. You charged it with absorbing negativity, so you don’t want to consume it.
• Do not leave this out in a place where your pets and children will come into contact with it.
• When the energy of the bowl doesn’t feel cleansing anymore, it’s time to get rid of it. You can either tip it into the trash, or toss it outside someplace where you wish to prevent plants from sprouting (like the cracks between concrete). Please do not tip onto your grass or any other plants as this can change the PH level in the soil and actually harm the plant and wildlife.

Salt Bowl DIY Step-by-Step

Items Needed:

- Bowl - Preferably Glass or Ceramic
- Mixing Bowl

Ingredients:

- Preferred Salt
- Herbs/Essential Oils
- Crystals (please research which ones are safe with salt)

Step-By-Step

- Choose your bowl. You can use multiple bowls for different rooms.
Choose a bowl to use for your salt bowl. You can go for something plain or fancy — whatever you prefer. If you’re going to leave the bowl out for more than a couple of days, I recommend using a non-porous bowl (i.e. not wood).
- Choose Your Salt and place into your mixing bowl
You can use plain salt from the previous page or use Witches Black/Pink Salt (depending on your preference)
- Add Herbs and Essential Oils into the salt
Here’s where you can get creative. Find herbs and oils that you’d like to use that resonate with protection and cleansing.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Mix in a clockwise direction to draw protective energy into the mixture.
- Recite your intention.
For Example ‘May this salt cleanse the energy of my home and protect me from negativity, So Mote It Be’
- Place mixture into your chosen bowl and place it in your home where you feel cleansing is needed.

Be conscious of the salt bowl. When you pass by it, use it as a cleanser of your energy. You can push negative energy into the salt bowl, or touch the salt with your hands to ground any lingering negative energy.

Other people like to place salt bowls in the corners of a room. This can create a very magickal feeling space! If you want to try this out, but don’t want to commit to four salt bowls, sprinkle salt from your main bowl into the corners of your room. You can also sprinkle salt on your window sills, as long as a loving family pet won’t jump up there, and as long as the windowsills are not metal, which is susceptible to rusting in salty conditions.

You can also sprinkle a little bit of your salt over the carpet and let it absorb for an hour or so before vacuuming it up. Or use the salt within hot water for washing floors and sides down. It really does change the energy of the room!

So there we have it. Salt. What a wonderful thing to use within our craft and so easily obtainable. Multiple uses so why not use it?!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Around The Wonky Witches Cauldron and that you can use this information and DIY’s within your magickal practice

witches-ofcolor:

I talked about the placements and “states” of certain objects in magical work, and the purpose of those states, so now I want to elaborate on them and write down my own notes regarding them (also you wonderful witches, feel free to add on): 

To Burn Something:
-To transfer to the spiritual plane 
-To offer to spirits 

To Submerge Something in Water:
-To cleanse 
-To act as a binding agent 

To Let Something go in the Wind: 
-To increase the speed in which a spell occurs and completes 

To Burry Something:
-to ensure a spell remains 
-to return to the earth as an offering 

As always, these are based off of my own experiences and research, so you’re all free to add your own bits! I’ve worked the least with the wind, so for those of you who do use wind as an element, please feel free to add on the wind part. 

servantofthefates:

Every time I receive something significant secondhand – jewels, talismans, tarot decks – I formally welcome it to my life.

Taking it to my sacred space and holding it in my hands, I introduce myself.

“My name is Diana… a servant of the Fates… a child of Venus… a Plutonian witch. I am now your sole master.”

I let it know what my intentions are.

“I rarely wear a necklace. But you will not be neglected. I will turn you into an amulet. So you can guard my home when I am not there to look after it.”

I declare my commands.

“Hold on to the strengths of your previous owners. But release anything that could prevent you from fulfilling your new purpose.”

And I tell it what to expect as a reward for its obedience.

“If you ever felt mistreated, it will never happen again. In return for your loyalty, you will be regarded as treasure.”

Then I wait for its reply.

Jewelry gleams, as if nodding to agree. Talismans vibrate or become hotter in your hand. That is how they respond. Tarot, by make, is far more articulate.

Finally, I write down its name in a catalog – an inventory of all my sacred properties. The ink makes the contract binding.

jenevaslibrary:

“The animist wakes up in the morning, and makes note of the dream she just had. She looks at the events that happened in the Dreaming, and sees that there are some potential issues at play among the spirits that dwell in and around her house. She gets up, and makes coffee. She thanks the coffee for its tasty goodness, and the water for keeping her and the rest of the world alive. She talks a bit to the cat, and thanks the dogs for watching over her and the house during the night. When the coffee is finally done, she pours two cups, one larger and one smaller. To the smaller cup, she adds cinnamon, sugar and a touch of red pepper. She also pours cold water into a small bowl, to which she adds a few pinches of dried rose petals. She takes the smaller cup of coffee into the living room and places it on the mantle in front a turtle shell and a few stones. She speaks: “Spirits and allies who aid and guard me, I give thanks to you. I ask that you bless all who dwell in this house, and all the creatures with whom I share this land. Watch over all of us, and guide us to make the best use of our intentions, time, and energy. I thank you. May there be peace between us always.” The animist then takes the bowl with the water and rose petals out the front door, through the yard, and out to the gate that leads to the street. Just inside the gate, she places the bowl of water on the ground, dipping her fingers into the bowl, and traces a sign upon the gate itself. She says: “Creature of iron, of discretion and discernment, I make this offering to you. May you be ever blessed for the work that you do, and may you always stand strong against those who would do us harm. Keep out all who wish us ill and only allow those who bring love and kindness to enter this space.” She checks the lock on the gate, and returns inside the house to finish her own coffee. The animist lives in a spirit-filled and spirit-infused world.”

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Cats have tiny lungs, so even if something is considered non-toxic you should never burn it around your cats. Any incense, herb bundles etc should only be burnt in a well ventilated room that is closed off to cats. Use non-burning methods wherever possible
• Even if something is non-toxic, please ensure that it is safely stored and there are no chances of your cat ingesting large amounts of it. This may still make them ill and it’s always best to be cautious.

A guide to Protection

i’ve seen a lot of people (especially on tiktok) emphasizing the importance of protection in magick. i couldn’t agree more, so i thought of piling up a few of my favorite protection methods

Wards🪴🧿

you can use any object you’d like as a guardian to ward off negative energies. plant wards are my personal favorite because working with plant spirits plays a big role in my practice.

• simply cleanse the plant buddy with your preferred method (avoid using white sage if you’re not indigenous)
• write a petition paper addressing what your intent is (in this case, ask the plant to protect you)
• burn the petition paper and add the ashes to the soil
• you may add some crystals to boost up your intention
• visualize a ray of protecting light coming out of the plant which circles around yourself/ your home
• thank the plant 🌱

if the plant catches something nasty it’ll usually wither and start to lose it’s leaves

there are many options when it comes to warding; you can use a talisman, a crystal, a plushie, spell jars, etc

Sigils

i personally like this method because you can get as creative as possible. personalize your own sigil! this works really well, especially if you’re in the broom closet because they can be as lowkey as you want.

remember the friendship bracelets people used to make in middle school? i usually chant the witches ladder and state my intent with every knot that i tie and end up with a pretty powerful protection spell.

Protection oil & protection candle

i’m probably going to make a separate post with my protection oil recipe.

as for the candle, grab a white or black candle and carve protection sigils on it, or even runes or bind runes, dress it with the protection oil and corresponding herbs and meditate with it before lighting it. usually whenever i light my protection candle i’ll chant “candle candle burn so bright grant me your protection tonight”

Visualization

yep. that’ll do the trick. if you’re on the go or in an emergency, you’re most likely not gonna have the time necessary to grab everything and do a spell. close your eyes, ground and center yourself, and visualize a protective white light within you. or simply ask the universe/ deities/ spirit guides/ guardian angels/ god to surround you with protective light. make sure to thank them!

there are many ways to protect yourself from negative energies or spirits. these are just a few. i’d recommend reading the book “Protection & Reversal Magick” by Jason Miller
