Super-charged Black Salt

Black salt is commonly used for absorption of negative energies, which makes it a great addition to protection charms and the like. It’s easy to make your own salt with different charcoals, inks and ashes; however, I’ve learned to charge these materials to my advantage. What you’ll need for your super-charged, protective black salt:

  • Your favorite Protection Sigils
  • Red Paper and/or Red Ink 
  • Protective Herb ashes (I used basil and sandalwood ashes)
  • Lighter and Fire-safe Bowl/ Mortar and Pestle

Draw and charge your sigils individually with your red ink or paper and burn them to activate them. Apply the intent to the service of the salt itself: “this protection will aid the salt in warding negative energies and protecting me/ them” etc.

Once you’ve activated your sigils mix in their ashes with your salt and grind them together until you get a consistent color.

Use this chant I crafted to help focus your intent: “May this salt, black but pure, capture and expunge evil, obscure” 

I made enough for a single spell (and was a bit shy with the amount of ashes I shouldve used) and ended up with a grey-ish mixture. Nonetheless this salt should be supercharged with your intent and ready to use. Do this under the energy of the full moon and you’ve taken your enchantment to the next level. Also, remember to be focused and utilize your intent to really visualize a powerful end result. Happy crafting!
