Summary
In this episode we look at Witch’s Salt, one of the most ancient, powerful and accessible tools in magickal practice. We explore the many forms salt can take, from sea salt and Himalayan pink salt to black salt, kosher salt and beyond. Looking at how each can be worked with in spellcraft, ritual and everyday magick including how to create your own black salt, a potent protective blend rooted in folk tradition. We journey through the sacred history of salt across different religions and cultures, uncovering its role in ritual, purification and protection. Along the way we touch on old superstitions of witches, the devil, spilled salt and various different folklore. We also dive into mythology exploring deities connected to salt including those from Aztec and Mesopotamian traditions and the powerful stories woven around them. Finally we look at creative ways to work with salt in your own practice, blending your own magical salts for different intentions from protection to glamour.
