What is black salt?
Bad vibrations occasionally find their way into everyone’s life from time to time.
This includes ill-fated relationships, poor workplace circumstances and incompatible roommates or living situations.
These things often lead to depression, low-functioning behaviors and unhealthy habits. Nip it in the bud before it gets unbearable.
Metaphysically, black salt absorbs negative energy, spiritually poisonous vibes and general yuck.
Use it for everything from soaking up a bad mood to driving away toxic people from your life.
Ingredients
-coarse sea or kosher salt
-any one of the following
*fire pit ashes
*black food coloring
*black pepper
*activated charcoal powder
How to Make It
Combine salt and black additive of your choice.
Then, consider using the energy of the dark moon to prepare this concoction, which heightens its protective properties.
Charge it by leaving it outdoors under the dark moon or with any other charging method you prefer.
Optional Additives
Including natural additives to your black salt is kind of like making specialty butter.
Of course, the plain stuff works just fine, but if you want to get fancy or more specific, an extra ingredient for added magical flavor never hurts.
For extra punch or to customize your black salt for a specific purpose, consider adding any one of the following.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Add a few drops of rosemary oil for protection from harmful people or toxic relationships.
Also a nice addition if you plan to use your salts for home protection or to bless the perimeter of your sacred space.
Use about 8 drops for every 5 ounces of black salt.
Cayenne Powder
Add a little cayenne for black salts intended to dispel anger or toxic relationships.
Perfect for dealing with difficult roommates or hard-to-handle relatives.
Lavender Essential Oil
Dark moon divination requires the practitioner to open herself up to the unseen world.
So, if you’re making a batch of black salts for psychic protection, consider adding a little lavender essential oil to block invisible ickiness.
Or, add it to a batch for easing emotional pain, grief or anxiety.
Cinnamon Essential Oil
Include cinnamon essential oil for protection from a broken heart or pain in a romantic relationship.
Or, include cinnamon essential oil for black salts you plan to use after a paranormal investigation to clear away negative entities or settle disturbed energies.
Include about 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil per 5 ounces of black salts.
Caution: Do NOT allow pure, uncut cinnamon essential oil to make contact with your skin. It burns like a mother. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
Ways to Use Your Black Salts
There are an infinite number of ways to use black salts. Here are a few brainstormed for you.
-Sprinkle it around the perimeter of your house to guard the hearth and home.
-Add some to a car protection charm to give it a boost.
-Place protection gemstones in a bag of black salt to cleanse and recharge them. (Be sure to rinse them thoroughly before use).
-Are you dating? Carry a small glass jar of black salts with cinnamon oil to protection your heart from lovers with bad intentions.
-If you’re in a toxic friendship, get a picture of the two of you together. When you’re ready to end the friendship, place the photo in a biodegradable container (a dye-free brown bag works) and bury it somewhere away from your home. Walk away and don’t look back.
-Mark the perimeter of your outdoor sacred space when you cast a circle to protect you during ritual. (Don’t use it on an indoor circle, as it may stain carpet or flooring).
Purifying of witchy tools
Stones, amulets, talismans, and crystals, when cleaned with the salt of the witches, empowers them with more power in addition to purifying them.
Removes negative energy
Pour a little black salt on the threshold of the main entrance to your house. This prevents negative energy from entering.
If you have unexpected or unwanted visitors, neighbors who disturb the good atmosphere of your house, or unpleasant guests and you want them to not come back, you can sprinkle or throw a little black salt on their backs when they leave. Next, you close the door, pour the salt along the door on the inside, and don’t look back. That person will not bother you again, at least at home.
For protection
This black salt adopts the energies and qualities of the plants used in it; in my case, I make different types of black salt to use in different spells and rituals, but in this case, we are going to focus on the most common salt, which is for protection (the most basic in the arsenal of any witch).
These are some basic ways to use it, but it has hundreds more and they vary according to the herbs used to make it, although, as I have already said, it is a rather protective tool.
Having a small bottle on your nightstand or sprinkling a little under your bed before going to sleep drives away the negative energies that haunt your room or rest area and protects you from bad dreams or nightmares.
Fill a small bottle with this salt and carry it around your neck, in your bag, or in a pocket. It will protect you from envy and all kinds of negative energy and will be a fantastic lucky charm.
To counter negativity, anoint a black candle with this salt and light it in the middle of a circle of protection.
If you have a lot of psychic activity near you, if everything is going negatively lately and you are surrounded by bad energies or envious or harmful people, you do not want people to transmit bad vibrations to you or your home. You can sprinkle the salt along your front door or on the edge of your garden if you have one, so you will be protected from all the negative things around you.
Hiding a bag of black salt in a key place at your work can help you to drive away and absorb everything that is left in the environment, including anger, negativity, states of bad humor, or envy that may come from colleagues or bosses.

These are just some basic ideas of how you can implement this salt in your works or spells; you can use it in many of the rituals that you have already have built. In my rituals and on my altar, I use this salt since its powers are more powerful because they have all the properties of the protection herbs and the energies that I have put into it.
Before you start a ritual or spell, put a pinch of black salt in each corner of the room to chase away negative entities.
Replace normal salt with black salt in your spells, using different plants to increase the power of the spell. For example, if you are looking for the abundance you can use cinnamon, fern, cactus, geranium, etc.

I have coal heat, will the ashes from that work? Also, when putting it around the perimeter of my property, is there anything I can chant while doing so to add more protection to it?
I don’t see why not, so long as there is nothing toxic in the coal.
As for chanting, I recommend keeping it simple and close to your heart. Choose a single word or a line from a poem that feels appropriate.
Great! Thank you so much!
Could we substitute activated charcoal for coal?
Thank you!!
Sorry I wasn’t as specific with my first question.
Can I crush up anthracite coal to replace the activated charcoal?
Thank you!
Never tried it. Let us know how it works out!
Will this work for dreams? I had a dream that caused me to wake up with my entire body shaking/tremor. I looked around but didn’t see anything. I have a motion activated light in the bathroom and it came on but nothing to set it off. You have to physically be walking into the bathroom for it to come on and I was shaking in bed unable to get up. The moment I closed my eyes I was back in the dream and could not wake myself. my body felt drained and sore in the morning. The next night I kept hearing the sound of water dripping but could find from where. I checked the faucet, under the sink, the shower, the toilet, and unplugged the humidifier but still heard it as I was trying to fall asleep. I’m a very light sleeper and as I was just about to fall asleep, (I’m not sure what to call it the moment you drift off) I felt my body get extremely heavy and a black air or smoke essence in my mind dragging me and surrounding me. I had to fight to open my eyes(like eyes rolling to the back of my head fight to pull them forward to stop from being pulled deeper into the sleep) to force myself out of the sleep that I had just went into. I’ve never had to fight to wake up after just falling asleep. It hadn’t even been a minute. It scared the crap out of me. I listened to Bible scriptures about protection to be able to try to go back sleep. I don’t know what it means. All I know is that it felt bad/evil and I’m scared to go to sleep right now. What can I do? Will black salt help and how do I use it in this circumstance? I’ve always had many dreams in a night and very vivid but I’ve never been afraid to sleep or dream. Last month I decided to try to find out what some meant that I couldn’t stop thinking about. I found a thread on Quora that seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. While I was reading it, a pop up ad or what I thought was an ad said deleting external storage but I just continued to scroll. my phone shut down and came back on. I called my friend because I had told her about the dream earlier in the day and in the middle of the call my phone shut down and was factory reset. I couldn’t do anything to stop it. I’m not sure if it’s related but since then I don’t look into my dreams or the meaning or dream walking or anything of the like. This is giving me the same vibes but darker much darker.
Very informative and easy to follow the FYI on the cinnamon oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣been there. Got some on my cheek, I thought I had been kissed by Satan himself….
Omg yes, it burns!
I also crush eggshells in my black salt as well. eggshells are good for protection
I recently used black salt I bought at a magic shop near me in front of my door on my porch and enclosed patio bc of some really horrible negative problems I’ve start having and I could be wrong but I bought it bc I thought my ex friend who I’ve recently had a falling out with cursed me ( fyi she was into some bad witchcraft, and has said she was going to curse people in the past that’s why I think she might have done it to me since the falling out..) I used it as a protection sort of thing and my question is does anyone know if it is normal if it turns white after one night of it being placed at your doors or whatever? Used it twice both times it happened, I also saged. Thanks in advance!
