This is my personal go-to recipe for Black Salt. It makes a small/medium sized batch, which is fine for personal use. I find it to be very effective and use it sparingly whenever I do need it, because a pinch is often enough.

INGREDIENTS:

Sea Salt (150g)

Lemon juice.

Activated Charcoal.*

A sigil on a piece of paper (I would recommend a general protection sigil, or one that repels negative energy).

Black pepper.

Myrrh incense ashes (if you make your own incense intended to cleanse, protect, purify or banish, use that).

TOOLS:

Pestle and mortar.

Funnel.

Jar.

Pipette (optional but useful).

METHOD:

Preparation: Safely burn your sigil and keep the ashes aside. Wait for them to cool. 

Put your salt into a pestle and mortar first, followed by the other dry ingredients. 

Use the mortar to grind it down into a finer version of the original mixture (which will have been quite chunky thanks to the sea salt).

Add two or 3 drops of lemon juice, and mix your salt well. It will make the salt a little bit clumpy at first, but after enough mixing it will be fine. 

Let the salt sit for a little while before transferring it into a jar. 

Use a funnel to pour the salt into a jar that has an airtight lid. You need it to be airtight to preserve your salts and stop moisture from getting in.

Store them in a dark, cool, dry place. 

Here is a post that tells you a little about Black Salt and how it can be used. 

*Please take care when handling activated charcoal. It can be very messy and clings to everything. It can also stain.

Illuminate My Path A sunshine inspired tarot spread

This tarot spread has been inspired by the Sunshine that has been gracing my home in recent weeks; all is aglow and all in bright, and thus it feels right to utilise this Sunshine to shed some light onto ourselves and see where we are headed.

1. The Ground: Just where is your current path based? In what, is your foundation; your beginning; your inspiration? What drives you? Is it growth? Learning? Spirituality? This card will tell you.

2. The Sky: Where will this path take you? You are headed up and away, but where is up and away? What will following this path lead you towards? Fulfillment, hurt, or something else entirely,…

3. The 1st Branch (physical): Paths often wind and twist and branch off into new and interesting places - where else will this path lead to? What opportunities that you did not expect will reveal themselves to you should you continue on this journey?

4. The 2nd Branch (emotional): This path may open up or make you vulnerable to new emotions and feelings; how does this path make you feel and how can you deal with these emotions?

Prep your spells, put out your jars, get your moon water vessel ready.

So, how can I assess and determine if I have been cursed? (I've heard about running lemon through the body, for example, but I can't do this because of an open wound)

Thank you so much 💜

Firstly, I love your username.

Now, when it comes to determining whether one has had any baneful magic cast upon them... that can be difficult, purely from a... being human sort of perspective - by this, I mean confirmation bias. It is difficult to look at something objectively at the best of times, but when it pertains to ourselves, it is even harder.

Some common signs of being cursed are (now, bear in mind the confirmation bias thing, and more importantly, if you notice any changes in yourself physically or you feel unwell, see the help and advice of a medical professional!):

Nightmares/Trouble sleeping.

Loss of energy (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually).

Bad luck.

Sudden trouble in relationships or with finances.

Sudden loss of clarity in thought/confusion.

You'll often see people recommend using divination to help determine whether or not a curse has been placed upon someone, and that's solid advice. You can use whatever divination method that you prefer, such as tarot, scrying, or pendulum readings.

Regardless of whether or not you can ever be certain of a thing, it will do you no harm to perform a cleansing, followed by a protection and/or warding ritual on yourself. You may even want to create an amulet to wear to keep yourself protected.

If you know the identity of the person that has targeted you, you could of course attempt a binding. I would recommend doing this after you have cleansed and protected yourself, however.
