🧂 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Salty Spellwork

[Jeannie1]

For this weekly witchy challenge, I did a spell jar for protection, on this Full Moon! I was inspired by Silver Bear
Lavender - for calm
Rosemary- for my memory, Candula - To ignite if the fire inside my soul, for love
Sandalwood -for Manifestation, Cedar for protection,
Sage for clearing my mind
Salt for a Absorbing all the negative energy!
I put my petition inside of the bottle to love myself and be my own best friend!
Amethyst- Wisdom
Red Jasper - Supports time of stress and change
Charm- Key for Hekate to claim my key “To have Faith and Believe”
I sealed my jar with a black candle and used black to repel any negative energy!
I also opened up a circle of protection and called to Hekate!
I did a little prayer and asked my spiritual guide Hecate to light the way for me!

I am glad we did this challenge because I had a chance to work with many of my herbs I feel blessed to have my spiritual practice, to prepare me mentally for this month!
I thanked Hekate for her protection and her light in my life!
Jeannie
Blessed be✨

@BryWisteria I can not thank you enough for the “air hugs” and encouraging words. That meant so much to me because lately I have been doubting myself and so I’ve tried to stick to just preparing powders/ oils etc that could be used in workings at a later date when I feel like it’s safer for me to cast without any mishaps and tried to play it safe but given the fact there are 3 dogs in the house that will eat any items they can get ahold of and a 13 year old witch in training who is curious about using ANYTHING I have in my supply cabinet/box for her workings I was afraid my shells for the oceans charm spell wouldnt last very long if I just set them somewhere in my room but if I kept them in the jar with the water then they would stand a better chance lol

[Eliza_Beth]

I totally did the Ocean’s Charm spell but forgot to take a picture

It was also a WONDERFUL reminder in candle safety, as I thought my small metal dish would safely snuff the candles out once they burned down to the salt. Nope! Turns out the whole thing lit on fire it’s a good thing I walked back into the room when I did, and that my altar was clear of any other items. fire safety is no joke, people!

I always feel bad for carpeted floors, they don’t get any of the salt love that the floors that are swept get. So here, have some homemade vacuum shake. Hope y’all like it!

Salty Vacuum Powder.

¼ cup salt

½ cup baking powder

¼ cup lavender

¼ cup rosemary

Mix together and shake it over carpet while saying:

Salt and herbs purify,

let no negativity get by.

Vacuum up the evil vibes,

So only happiness survives.

Let the anger and tiredness leave,

as I will so mote it be!

Let sit for a while to soak up the negative energies and then vacuum up, dispose of the vacuum leavings as soon as possible.

[phoenix_dawn]

@Amethyst I never thought about it that way but I generally use my broom and "sweep"the carpet when I use the powder stuff we buy in the stores to kind of work it into the carpets fibers better before I let it soak in so that’s a great idea and you still get the sweeping effect. Probably a good idea to empty the vacuum outside immediately after use though so it takes the negative garbage out of the house completely but that’s just my opinion

[leah7]

I am very exited to try my first challenge.

I was a bit limited for this week’s challenge but was able to find somethings to accompany what I have brought with me for my travels this week. I had a version of a salt protection recipe saved on my phone. I wish I could remember where I initially saw this recipe so I could credit the person (it probably was someone in the coven so if you recognize this, let me know so I can give you credit). I remember purposely saving this because it was a smoke free way for me to cleanse the energy of prior occupants in hotel rooms when I travel. I actually forgot about it before my current travels began but the challenge brought it to memory, so thank you for that!

I mixed some sea salt, rosemary, comfrey root, lavender and angelica root into a glass. It probably would have been best to make it into a more powder like substance, but all I had was a plastic fork LOL I added my intent and asked each ingredient for their protective and cleansing properties and thanked each one. I then sprinkled it on the bottom of the door threshold and in the corners of the room.

I have one more stop at a different hotel for a few days before going home so I saved some in a ziploc so I can remember to use this again on Wednesday

[Amethyst]

Huh, I never swept it into the carpet, I just let it sit for a good half hour or so before vacuuming. It’s interesting how people do things differently. I’ll have to try that next time!

[NickWick]

This week challenge was really simple for me but yet really effective. For me I did a basic salt protection spell for the home. I have really want to try the black salt, however I have decided to have this done for another time.This involves me use the black salt as the main ingredient along with a chant to cleanse around my home.

Direction

3 Handfull of salt
1 Protection Chant

1. Meditation for the positive intention that I wanted.

2. I then face east with a hand fit of salt walking in a clock wise direction moving to each ditection that represents the elements as I respite this chant I wrote.

3. Recite the chant
   Let all the negativity be washed away
   Right here, RIGHT NOW today.
   Protect my home day and night
   Keep it safe within the light.

4. When done, just thank the Lord & Lady for their blessings and just carry on your day as normal.

I have also managed to stumble across this easy salt spell routine that I am thinking off putting to practice alone side my salt spell.

Any type on salt can be used as well as the black salt. I can maybe do this spell every other full moon for continuous results.

L ve , L ve and L ght the way

Blessed Be💫

@NickWick i loved your chant. Nicely done

[phoenix_dawn]

Well also my mom and I both have pretty long thick hair and we shed BADLY then add 3 dogs and we have a lot of hair on the carpet so sweeping kinda helps get up most of the hair the vacuum can’t get up

[Susurrus]

I was just thinking of posting something similar! My daughter & I have long thick hair as do both of my son’s girlfriends. Between the carpets & the drain in the shower & our cars, hair is everywhere mixed with 2 dogs also! We use the sweeping of the carpet also before we vacuum.

Hello! For this week’s challenge, I incorporated salt into my magic by doing some cleansing and protection work on my RV.

I actually started one of the ingredients for this before the challenge as it is an oil that needs to sit for 9 days in direct sunlight. To make the sealing oil, you take 1 tablespoon carrier oil (I used sweet almond), 1 fresh sage leaf, 1 whole clove, and 3 pinches of salt. Mix all of this in a bottle and seal. Place in an area that receives direct sunlight for 9 days, mixing every so often (I did it about once a day when I was feeding the birds).

While I was waiting on this, I took the week to thoroughly clean my house. Put things back where they belong, dust, vacuum, even clean the couches! I even began to rid myself of unnecessary clutter that has crept into my home.

One the oil was ready, I was all set. Sunday, my husband had to go to work for a little bit so it was perfect timing! I smoke cleansed with palo santo. I then was ready to clean and seal my threshold. I mixed 1 cup warm water, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a large bowl. Using a cloth, I used the mixture to was the threshold and doorframe while saying “I hereby cleanse this threshold of negative energy.” I then used the palo santo to again cleanse the threshold and doorframe. I placed it in my censer and let it smolder for the rest of the ritual.

Dipping my fingers in the sealing oil, I drew an unbroken line around the outside of the door frame while saying “No evil or illness may cross this threshold. I hereby bar it from entering. My home is sacred and protected.”

On the inside of the doorframe, I again dipped my finger in the sealing oil, this time touching my finger to the upper left corner and drawing a line in the air to the bottom right corner. Stating the above intention while doing so. I repeated this going from upper right to lower left as well as from middle top to middle bottom.

The last step was to bury 3 cloves of garlic under by threshold (shout out to those that helped me come up with my alternative!). I touched each of them with a finger dipped in the sealing oil and buried one at each end of the box I used to represent my threshold and one in the middle, again repeating the intention above one final time.

Very creative. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank for letting me know about how salt has been a very sacred element in many different cultures across the globe. That really spoke to me was how
