Black Salt

Black salt is a great tool for pretty much any witch and can be made with a large variety of things. For me, personally, I generally infuse my black salt with various dark ingredients (as in color, not the intention) from various spells and castings to fine-tune my current needs.

Since I've seen a couple of asks about this, I'm going to make a list of a few different things I do and use to make my black salt.

How I make it:

Grinding salt with dark ingredients

Saturating water with salt, adding dark ingredients with intention, reducing and dehydrating back into a crystallized form

Mixing salt and dark ingredients with a tiny bit of oil or moon water to create a 'paintable' paste

What I've used:

Ashes from burnt incense

Ashes from burnt spells

Trimmings of burnt candle wicks

Dark-colored berries

Ground black stones

Ashes of herbs I've burnt for their effects

Volcanic ash (not terribly dark, but powerful)

Black salt can be used for a variety of practices, but as always, make sure you do your research and cross-reference your findings with a variety of sources before solidifying your knowledge. Sometimes you'd be surprised what mistakes even experiences witches can make without doing their homework, and I want everyone reading this post to be safe in their practice. Blessed be, everyone!
