In magic, there is a concept that is very important and that, many times, is the key to everything. It is about energy, which in turn is divided into good or positive energies and bad or negative energies. Both one and the other can be noticed at home.

Salt, a versatile ingredient
Every time we add those little white crystals to our food we think about its rich flavor, but there is so much we don’t know about salt!
For example, did you know that it is a rock? Yes, edible, but rock in the end. It is extracted from seas and mountains and is possibly the oldest condiment used by man. Its use has been so vital that it has marked the development of human history: it has been the object of wars, monopolies, taxes, it has even been used as a bargaining chip.
Sea salt is the salt from the evaporation of seawater, as opposed to rock salt extracted from landmines. The salt flats are the centers of excellence for the production of sea salt. Sea salt or sea salt dries naturally in the sun. Salt has been used since time immemorial in protective rituals, and not only by pagans but also within Christianity.

| Epsom Salt | Relaxation, stress relief, and purification |
| Black Salt | Absorbing and dispelling negative energy |
| Kosher Salt | Cleansing, purification, and spiritual rituals |

Since the dawn of societies, salt was used as an element to fight against the forces of evil. The Greeks and Romans did the same, on the other hand, the Christian monks sprayed the bell towers with salt to bless them and drive away demons, as did the Japanese inside their houses. Furthermore, the Jews ensured the purity of their offerings by using salt.
Did you know, for example, that church bells were anointed with salt and water? This was to bless them and implore God to disperse the evil spirits. It is said that the use of salt as a source of protection was inherited from the Romans, who used it to drive away negativity. The custom of throwing salt over the left shoulder to prevent bad luck dates back to those times.
So, if you are interested in eliminating those bad energies from your house or from yourself, you should consider putting salt in the corners of your house.

No rock is a better conductor of energy than sea salt, which allows it to attract good vibrations, apart from favoring the exit of bad energies. That’s the reason why sea salt is widely used in energy cleansing rituals, where it is usually mixed with other equally purifying products.
However, although its mere presence in the home is already beneficial, it is very important to know how to use it properly to clean the house of bad energy.

A little ritual to upgrade the practice
A very simple energy cleaning practice to protect the home is the following:
In a corner of the living room (as supposedly is the place where you spend most of your time at home), behind the door, place half a fresh lemon with a handful of coarse salt on top. This will absorb the bad vibe (if any).
The best thing to do is to keep it clean for a week at least, if the lemon and salt are black within a week, throw them away, always outside the house, bury them if you can, and replace it with a new one until it is clean for a week at least.
And remember that tradition says that when there is salt in a house, there will always be money. Do not worry if you have high blood pressure, you do not need to consume it at meals, but do not forget to have it in the pantry to attract prosperity.
