 Witches black salt is used for protection, banishing, binding, cleansing, and releasing. What You Need sea salt ashes / or a charcoal disc protective herbs mortar and pestle How To Make It Make your black salt on a Tuesday after the sun has set, preferably on a waxing or full moon as they are both good moon phases for doing protection magick. To make my black salt I burned a mixture of rosemary, sage, and mugwort on a charcoal disc. Use whatever herbs that you associate with protection. You could also use the ashes from incense. I let the herbs burn for about 5 minutes and then ground this mixture, including the charcoal disc, in a mortar and pestle. Combine this mixture with the salt by mixing it in a counter-clock wise direction. You could also add some ashes from your fireplace and some black pepper. I've also taken a bay leaf and drew a pentacle on it, then burned this and added its ashes to the black salt. Another optional ingredient to add is cast iron scrapings. As with a

All About Crystal Water and Gem Elixirs By placing a crystal in water, the vibrational patterns, crystalline structure and subtle energy the crystal holds are transferred to the water. Crystal infused water and elixirs are used for healing and spiritual purposes. ***Some crystals are toxic, so be sure to do your research into which gems are safe to use in water. Crystals from the quartz family are generally safe to use. Choose tumbled stones as opposed to the rough raw stones. If a crystal is not safe for consumption you could instead place the crystals around the water or place the water on a crystal slab, crystal coasters work perfectly for this. Gem elixirs are made using alcohol such as vodka and used as a tincture which can be stored. While gem or crystal water is made using water and is generally used straight away.  It’s best to make sure you cleanse and charge your crystals before using them. Do this by running them under water, placing them in a bowl of salt, or burning herbs
