My Life

So basically, I got tired of buying black salt from witchy shops near me and decided to get off my lazy ass and make some, here’s what I did;

Get out your mortar and pestle, or whatever you want to use to grind up your items, you’ll need;

Sea salt

Himalayan salt (I prefer the course salt)

Black pepper

Sage

Charcoal

Incense ashes from patchouli & nag champa for protection and cleansing

Bay leaf

I start with mixing my basic salt based together,along with sage, black pepper, and the ashes,I then add my charcoal and grind up everything together and mix it, you then draw a protection or banishing symbol on a bay leaf, burn the bay leaf after meditating with it for however long you feel is appropriate, mix the leaf ashes into the salt and stir clockwise while putting your intent of protection into the salt mixture.

Pour your mixture into a jar, or any container you want to use. I use a mini jar to keep in my bag when I’m out and then i store the rest in a larger jar.

When coming up with this i wanted it to be a little more broad, so i have neutral/multipurpose, & more common healing and love ingredients because i know some people want the love to be self love, whereas others may want it to attract the love of others, and the healing to be for either mental or physical healing

Ingredients

Amethyst for peace

Himalayan Pink Salt for healing & love

Lavender for peace

Rose for love

Thyme for healing

shavings from a pink candle (or a different color of your choosing,whatever feels right to you) for color correspondence

Directions ~add all your ingredients to a bowl, mix it clockwise while asking Aphrodite to bring you healing, peace & love,along with any other devotionals or prayers you have for her. ~pour the mix into a sachet of whatever color you associate with Aphrodite, I chose a sandy golden sachet. ~ close the bag securely and kiss it while thanking Aphrodite.

The crystal is noticeably warm when you pick it up

Your hand automatically drifts towards one particular crystal, even if it is not what you intended to choose

An intense feeling of MINE when you first touch a crystal

Prolonged thought about a specific crystal

Seeing colors or hearing sounds when first touching a crystal

The crystal is noticeably colder than room temperature upon first contact, then quickly becomes warmer than your body while in your hand

From imdb: ”During the filming of some scenes for The Princess Bride, the weather became markedly cold for Robin Wright Penn. Andre the Giant helped her by placing one of his hands over her head; his hands were so large that one would entirely cover the top of her head, keeping her warm.”

And don’t forget to cleanse yourself.

Read my story. Ask questions. If anything good people of Tumblr, please share

So my roommate/friend has mentioned to me for months that she’s felt like she’s had bad luck her entire life. I wanted to do something to change that for her, so I poured myself into this chaotic beauty!

Additional Items:

1. Mix the salts and add to the bottom of the jar as the first layer.

2. Add rose petals as second layer.

3. Mix black pepper, bay leaf, basil, and rosemary. While doing this, I chanted: “Little spice, little spice, grinding up so fine and nice. My gratitude I can’t repay, bring <name> some good luck today!”

4. Then add the herbal mixture to the jar as the third layer. Then a layer of rose petals, another layer of the herbal mix, the sage ash, and orange peel. I then added a generous amount of the edible pearl dust.

5. Step 5 wasn’t planned, but it felt right. I then shook ALL of the ingredients in the jar together, mixing up the layers. I wanted to show her that although her life seemed chaotic, it could still be beautiful and end up positive 💓

6. Add chunks of crystal to jar.

7. Add a layer of lavender with a bit of sea salt. Put the penny on top and seal the jar with white wax. While I sealed the jar, I repeated my intentions — luck for my buddy, of course!

8. I then drew a good luck sigil on the outside of the bottle. Charged and ready to go!

That’s really it! The pearl dust gets all over the inside of the bottle and adds the most beautiful GLITTERS when in the sunlight! ☀️ Questions, comments, suggestions? I’d love to hear from you witchy babes!

* Not the best looking, but it definitely has the most love and energies poured into it! ✨
