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;
pick the size and style of the jar you wish to use
cleanse the jar with the incense of your choosing (if you cannot cleanse with smoke use your simmer pot steam for this step)
if you are using a charcoal disk you may want to grind it up first
in a bowl (or in the jar itself but I find the bowl mixes better) mix in desired herbs and the ashes (or charcoal)
use in spells during the season where it calls for black salt
