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
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 all spellwork or magickal crafting, visualisation is key. Remember to empower your black salt with your energy and intention while you are creating it. You could even bless or consecrate the salt before you add it to the ashes.
Light a black candle (or a white one will work too). Set the black salt in front of the candle and place some protective crystals around the salt such as obsidian, shungite, or black tourmaline. You could also anoint your black candle with some protective oil such as rosemary oil, and etch protective symbols into the candle. Leave this to charge for an hour. Store your black salt in a glass container and keep it out of direct sunlight. Charge it under the full moon light!
