Samhain Countdown Day 7

Black Salt Recipe (Samhain Specific)

You got to take a look at how I build my black salt for Mabon. Now it’s time to use what we learned from the recipe to make one for Samhain

Like with the Mabon salt, I will tailor this black salt to the season that we are in.

Again this is a ‘build with your heart and what you have’ type of recipe.

What you will need;

  • jar of your choosing

  • ashes from your ritual fires or incense

    • charcoal disks or powder can also be used if you do not have ash

    • you can also use black food dye, however, this requires an extra step of spreading it out onto a baking sheet and waiting a couple of days to make sure the salt is dry

  • any of the following herbs and flowers;

    • calendula

    • cinnamon

    • cloves

    • mugwort (to aid in divination)

    • pine needles

    • rosemary (for remembrance of our ancestors)

    • sage (I use the sage from my garden)

    • tarragon

    • allspice

    • dried apple

  • incense to cleanse your jar;

    • copal

    • sandalwood

    • mastic resin

    • benzoin

    • sage (I use a bundle of the cooking sage I grow)

    • cloves

    • myrrh

    • patchouli

How to build your jar;

  1. pick the size and style of the jar you wish to use

  2. cleanse the jar with the incense of your choosing (if you cannot cleanse with smoke use your simmer pot steam for this step)

  3. if you are using a charcoal disk you may want to grind it up first

  4. in a bowl (or in the jar itself but I find the bowl mixes better) mix in desired herbs and the ashes (or charcoal)

  5. use in spells during the season where it calls for black salt
