Light a candle, whisper your problem to it, then say: 

“I do not give a shit. 

You can’t make me give a shit.

My last fuck has flown.”

***SMOKE SALT***

This is a recipe I cooked up for meditation. For the many witches (including myself) who use salt to help cleanse and purify an area.

I took a walk outside a few weeks ago after christmas and admired how the clouds skimmed over the mountains leaving tendrils behind in the trees. It was like the clouds were moving to reveal the magnificence of the mountain beneath.

Inspiration!

So here is alittle mixture I made that works wonderfully for meditation and divination work as well as relaxation.

What you need: ~Salt ~A closeable container ~Smokey quartz ~Incense or herbs to burn

First if you have incense you like to burn while meditating or doing your practice, I suggest to use that. If you don’t, you can use herbs that you enjoy the smell of when burned.

Some herbs that will aid in meditation and divination practice are nutmeg, Frankinsence, yarrow, sage, wormwood, or bodhi as just a few examples. But really use anything you are comfortable with.

Take you salts and fill your container as full as you’d like, then pour into a separate bowl and let sit over night with your smokey quartz in the center.

Not only will this cleanse your crystal but the salt will have lingering protective energies from the quartz. As well as a calming effect to help ease you into trance.

The next step is pictured above. You have your herbs or incense (as I’m using) and the original container you want to hold your smoke salt in.

Start to burn your item in a manner in which you can capture the smoke inside the container. If burning herbs you can simply drop them in the bottom and cap it. If using incense let the remains fall in as well. The ashes will make the salt more potent.

When you have filled your container with smoke it’s time to add the salt and shake it up so you mix it well and there you have it!

Use these salts to cleanse your meditation area as well as your divination space. Smoke salt creates a calming relaxing environment. Also aiding you to ground and center yourself courtesy of your smokey quartz.
