I’ve been making ritual salt for longer than I can keep in mind, and up till now have been a bit reluctant to publish my recipe and course of.  That reluctance hasn’t come from concern of being judged or criticized both.  It is as a result of making ritual salt is a really private factor to me.  I take the creation of every batch of my very own witch’s black salt fairly severely; in spite of everything, I’ll be the one utilizing it and it should meet my wants with exacting requirements.  I might anticipate the similar from anybody else.

If you’ve been looking out the web for recipes, you will see that this one considerably completely different, however wonderful nonetheless.  This recipe doesn’t require you to scrape your cauldron or add charcoal.  The completed product can be lighter in coloration than another recipes (you could add these additional steps do you have to want a darker completed product).

The Preparation

When you make a batch of witch’s black salt for cover, first collect as many protecting herbs as you may get your palms on.  There is a hyperlink at the very finish of this text that may provide help to determine the magickal properties of herbs.  If you may, use ones out of your backyard or property as they are going to be the most potent for shielding their residing area in addition to yours.  We develop greater than seventy completely different herbs on our property, and have entry to dozens extra on the surrounding land; simply as you’d anticipate from a household of witches.  If you observe the outdated methods and use the moon as your gardening information, harvest your herbs a couple of days after the full moon when the sap is excessive, however the vitality has began turning downward – they may simpler to dry and be in nice situation the following full moon to be used on this recipe.  If you’ve already collected and dried your herbs, then you may leap proper into the precise manufacturing course of.

Also when you plan on utilizing a cauldron or different forged iron pot, think about what it has been used for in the previous.  Certain spell-work can depart residuals in the cauldron that you could be not need creeping into this recipe, regardless of how little stays.  I take advantage of a big forged iron dutch oven cooking pot for making ritual salt.  I purchased it particularly for this function many years in the past, and that’s all it can ever be used for.  In some methods it’s like the household cooking pot from the Colonial days.  It was by no means absolutely emptied and by no means washed, in order that the goodness of generations value of meals could be included in each meal thereafter.  Once you might be completed, retailer your forged iron in a dry place in order that it doesn’t rust.

I even have a conveyable fireplace pit that I take advantage of to burn giant portions of dried herbs in.  Since most of them have a vent gap in the backside, be sure you put one thing below it to catch something that falls via.  I take advantage of the lid of my pot (as you may see in the above image).

The Recipe

I’ll solely make ritual salt on a peak full moon evening and outdoors; no exceptions for any cause.  It’s a waste of your time to make use of the most potent substances after which put together the combine on a day of weak lunar vitality.

Cauldron or Cast Iron Pot (I’ve a big Dutch Oven for making black salt and that’s all it’s used for)
Brazier or moveable fireplace-pit (additionally solely used for making black salt to maintain it pure)
Assortment of dried herbs, roots, and flowers (your selecting, however they should be dry)
Coarse Sea Salt (sift via it and break up any clumps earlier than beginning)
Essential oils (your selecting, however perform a little research to ensure they suit your plans)

Do not use desk salt because it accommodates iodine.

The Process

I like to attend till the moon is seen in the sky, so the vitality can movement freely.  The very first thing is to solid a circle round your work area (so be certain you will have all the pieces gathered and shut by).  Say the prayers or incantations which are acceptable to your beliefs till you might be relaxed and targeted on the process at hand.  Remember that this course of is about intention.  Clear your thoughts of all the pieces besides what you need to obtain.  If you might be in search of safety, then maintain a concentrate on it and don’t deviate from it.

Pile your herbs in the fireplace pit or container you want to burn them in (I received’t go into fireplace security, however to say, be secure).  Light the pile and stir it till all the pieces is totally burned away.  This can take a while in case you are utilizing roots or thicker stemmed gadgets, so be affected person and luxuriate in the fireplace.  If you make a really giant batch, it is smart to maintain some on the aspect and add as the pile burns down or your air movement can be restricted and issues received’t burn away fully.   I take advantage of a thick oak dowel to stir my herbs whereas they burn.

When your fireplace is out and nothing however ash stays, rigorously switch it to your cauldron or forged iron pot.  Add a small quantity of coarse salt and start mixing; you could have some mud so don’t put your face too shut.  Once the mud settles, add any important oils you want to add, taking care to not add an excessive amount of (a couple of drops appear ample and received’t trigger issues to gum up).  Using your oak dowel as a pestle and the forged iron as your mortar, apply extra strain to interrupt up the salt barely whereas concurrently infusing the herb ashes into it.  Add extra salt as wanted till you will have a pleasant coloration and consistency.  I usually chant, sing, or meditate throughout this state of the course of.  The grinding and stirring are methodical and magickal; you may actually really feel the lunar vitality coming down and getting into the combine.

You’ll know when it’s carried out.  Your senses will really feel the second of completion and that’s it.  Don’t over-add salt as it can make your salt look overly grey and fewer highly effective.

Closing Your Circle

Some folks like to wish or sing over the accomplished batch, whereas others are prepared to maneuver on to different issues.  When you might be prepared, shut your circle, clear up and retailer your salt in a glass jar or wooden container.  Metal or plastic aren’t really useful for apparent causes.  Don’t retailer the salt in your forged iron as it can trigger corrosion ultimately and your salt will clump.
