A way to bond with this element

SALT

Salt is very important in witchcraft! It's used for many things ranging from protection to clensing crystals. In Europe it's a common thing to put a pinch of salt in each corner of the room you are casting a spell in for protection. You can put your crystals in salt to clense them. There are different salts to be used for different things, like black salt

Black salt

Black salt can be used for absorbing bad energy, warding off bad spirits, banishing, and breaking hexes. You can put some in a bowl or bag under your bed to keep bad dreams and spirits away. Put some on your window sill or door to keep evil out and keep unwanted company away. You can make black salt by mixing salt, ash, eggshells, charcoal. Then grind them into powder.

Table salt

Table salt can be used for cleaning and protection. A circle of salt can be used for a protective sheild against spirits, unwanted energy, also a good focal point for energy.

Sea salt

Tarot part 1

Trying to cleanse your deck and care for it. Just like crystals your tarot deck needs to be cleansed and if not it can soak up bad energy.

There are many ways to cleanse your deck such as: the full moon, sunlight, physical touch, crystals can cleanse, insense, shuffling the cards, meditation, and salt cleansing.

There are also ways to keep your tarot deck when not in use. Many people keep their deck in cloth, or in the original package. But there are also specific bags and boxes for a deck. It used to be said that you should only keep your tarot deck in a pine box. Some people choose to have their tarot deck next to them while sleeping to bond with it. But we'll talk about bonding with your deck in a later lesson.
