4-Ingredient Spell Powder

Magical Correspondences 

The four ingredients in this recipe are all chosen for their ritual use in protection.

Salt

Perhaps the most common of all protection spell components, salt acts both as a barrier against negative energy and a purifier to cleanse away nasty vibes.  There’s a reason why so many spell books call for salt around the magical circle!

Fire Pit Ashes

Fire is a force of destruction.  And although that might sound aggressive, no element in magic is either positive or negative.  It is merely a force to be harnessed.  Just as water might flood the land and destroy it, it can also be harnessed for energy by a water mill or a damn.  In the same way, we use the energy of fire to empower our spell powder with boldness.

Cinnamon

This spice is a potent protection spell ingredient.  Among cinnamon’s many magical uses, it’s well known for its spiritual properties, including as a natural repellent to dark energy.

Black Pepper

Send ill-intended people on their way and include ground black pepper in your spell powder.

You can use the stuff that comes already ground, but grinding the kernels yourself releases the freshes potency and the effort imparts your personal signature into the mix.

For an extra punch, you can substitute graveyard dirt.
