This is a very simple protection salt I use to ring around my rituals, cleanse my spaces, and even sweep the floor with.
It’s good because not only does it protect, but gives a nice bite back to any negativity/entity/thing that tries to cross it. Best for ritual work and simple spirit work, not necessarily protection from physical attackers.
It’s something pretty much every single one of my readers can make at home with its ridiculously simple ingredients and process, but it’s not something that everyone would think of off the top of their head.
Ready? Here we go. Try not to sneeze!
You’ll need:
1 part sea salt (coarse is best: see picture below)
1 part black peppercorns
1 part chili powder
a large bowl
mortar and pestle
bottles (size varies on how much you want to make)
funnel (optional, but not worth leaving out)
Step 1:
Place the coarse salt and black peppercorns in the mortar and pestle. Grind them together. Yes, technically this could also be done with ground pepper, but I find the actual effort put into grinding them makes the powder more effective.
This’ll take a long time — you’ll want it to turn to a fine, light brown powder.
Step 2:
Yes, you guessed it: place the sea salt and chili powder in the mortar and pestle and grind together. Remember how I said this was easy?
This should turn to a light orange, almost pink when finished (my pictures really don’t do it justice).
Step 3:
Add the two together. You can see the peppercorn mix on the left and the chili pepper mix on the right.
Step 4:
Ready? Time to get this thing in a bottle. This is where that funnel I mentioned earlier can really come in handy.
And there we have it! Put a nice little label on it, put the date you made it on the back, and now you have your own all-purpose protection powder.

This is a powder designed to quickly banish a spirit, while neutralizing any of their attempts to harm you. It is not designed to play nice, so keep that in mind when deciding when to use it. Hopefully you will never need it. (Though if you DO use it, I’d love to hear about your results since by nature it’s something I kind of avoid thoroughly testing!)
Ingredients: I mix them intuitively, so the amounts are whatever feels right. Generally this takes more salt, though.
Salt (Protection, banishing)
Pepper (Banishing, protection)
Chili Powder (Banishing)
Grey Salt (I make this the same way as most black salt recipes, with the ashes of incense. Grey is neutralizing.)
Cayenne Pepper (Banishing, adds strength and speed)
Ginger (Banishing, adds strength and speed)
Put it in a bottle or container and give it a good SHAKE!!
(In the beginning of Kiki’s Delivery Service, Kiki wasn’t pleased about the black dress her mom had given her… however seems to like it by the end of the film. This is a self confidence spell. )
Things You Will Need:
(1) White or Black Candle (white creates poise and confidence, black increases assertiveness and confidence.)
(1) Mirror (to look at your lovely self, what else?)
(1) Red Ribbon(To connect with kiki, and also because red stimulates confidence and draws attention.) *Can be substituted with any wearable accessory that is red.
How to do the spell:
set yourself up at your mirror, ground yourself if you wish. Take a moment to look into your own eyes and focus on your intentions.
Then, light your candle, and grab your ribbon (or other red accessory)
hold the candle in one hand and the ribbon in the other. Imagine the light of the flames surrounding the ribbon. Place the candle down and begin to wrap the ribbon around a place of your choosing (or place your accessory on) and as you are doing so, say:
“With this (accessory) my true form shall appear. A form of greatness, and beauty. A form of strength and care. All of those things are what I am, and what others shall see. Though I am not perfect, I am surely close. My confidence is there, it’s no longer hard to see. My confidence is there, It flows from within me.”
A spell to banish, to remove a person from your life completely. This is ideal for unwanted exes, toxic friends, and those who have caused trouble or harm to yourself and loved ones
Be certain you want to do this as it is to remove someone for good.
You will require;
– Running water, so be near a sink
– A representation of the unwanted person; Something can can be destroyed easily. So temporary poppets or photographs.
– A place to dump the representation; a trash bin is ideal. If it’s biodegradable, you can bury it, but a trash bin would be easier
* Start by visualising a wall around yourself. This can take whatever form makes you feel safe from the unwanted person
* Take the representation in both hands, make as much contact as possible, and whisper into it (choose your own words if you wish);
I do not fear you
No more will I see you
No more harm, no more hurt
Begone from my life
*Start to rip, tear and just destroy the representation, Put as much feeling into it as possible, unleash all negative energy
*Dispose of the representation. Just throw every piece in the trash. When it’s taken away, it’ll be gone for good.
*To cleanse yourself of their contact, wash your hands. As you do say something along the lines of;
A sachet created to survive a difficult workplace. The goal is to help you be the catalyst for an improved situation. Add each piece to a small bag thinking of how it will impact your work life. Keep it at your desk or work space.

This is a simple little charm I use to enchant my morning coffee to help me defeat the day, be productive and kick ass.
YOU’LL NEED:
☕️ a beverage
💎a crystal connected to your goal for the day (I use blue goldstone or substitute my mini blue glitter jar for creativity)
DO THE CHARM
⚪️ set the crystal down next to the cup to charge the brew
⚪️ pour or stir clockwise while brewing to attract productive energies
⚪️ repeat an incantation a few times while brewing. This is mine:
“I am a writer & I am done fucking around.
I am a writer & I get shit done.”
⚪️ make sure the incantation is short, simple, and makes you feel like a badass (this is why so many of mine include swearing). It could just be “Today I’m going to [goal or task] and I’m done fucking around.”
⚪️ that’s it! drink up and have a productive day.
TAKEAWAY TWEAKS for when you’re buying rather than brewing.
⚪️ slip the crystal under the edge of the saucer
⚪️ or hold the crystal in your hand under the take away cup
⚪️ if there’s a place to stir, do. You can run your finger clockwise around the rim, or skip it altogether.
⚪️ say the incantation under your breath (if it’s noisy) or in your head (if it’s quiet)
may the bridges I burn light the way
