In ancient times, priests used the magical properties of salt to protect against demons and the evil eye. Without exception, all civilizations on Earth have very similar ideas about the magical properties of salt. Namely, that it absorbs psychic energy and binds it into its own structure.
From the Roman Catholic ritual of preparing holy water, which contains water and salt, to the Indian custom of using salt on wounds to ward off unhealthy spirits.
In ancient Egypt, salt was considered a sacred product that was offered to the gods. The Romans considered salt a symbol of wisdom. Therefore, they performed rituals for newborns, sprinkling them with salt so that in the future they would have wisdom.
The magical properties of salt remain the most effective of all the magical tools that nature has at our disposal. It cleanses, sanctifies, removes evil. The magical properties of salt are used to combat harmful waves in geobiology. Salt is also used to cleanse crystals and to protect oneself during magical rituals.
Use of the magical properties of salt in folk magic around the world
- In the Middle Ages, salt was used to ward off evil spirits, demons and witches from homes. Salt was sprinkled on doors, windows and chimneys.
- For example, in Hawaii, when people return from a funeral, they sprinkle salt on themselves to ward off evil spirits and prevent them from following them home.
- The Japanese have a custom of sprinkling salt on the threshold of their home after visiting an unwanted person.
- In some parts of Germany, Normandy and Scotland, salt is used on or around the churn. Salt is sprinkled so that the witches do not spoil the butter or damage the cow from which the milk was obtained.
- Irish folk rituals include the use of salt in conjunction with the recitation of the Lord's Prayer to cure those who may have been "stricken with leprosy." A similar story comes from Bavaria and Ukraine in which salt is used to determine whether a child is bewitched.
- Egyptian caravans traveling through the desert performed a ritual that involved burning salt on hot coals. This was done to prevent evil spirits from disturbing travelers.
Signs of different nations associated with the magical properties of salt
- If someone spilled salt during dinner, it means that a family quarrel is approaching.
- It was considered bad luck to lend salt to someone because it could lead to enmity between the borrower and the lender. There is a good way to avoid this problem. After you lend someone a cup of salt, they must pay for it in sugar or molasses.
- In some parts of northern England and Scotland it is also considered unlucky to give salt. Mainly because the person who borrowed it could use it as a magical link to curse you.
- Salt can also be used to detect the presence of witches. It is believed that witches do not eat much salt. Therefore, if someone complains that food is too salty, they may be viewed with suspicion.
- There is also a story that enchanted cattle will not touch salt.
Many peoples use salt as part of local superstition. The most famous advice is that if you spill salt, you should throw it over your shoulder. It either brings good luck or keeps evil at bay.
Today, the magical properties of salt are still widely used by many people with great mystical powers. It is used in esotericism and all occult practices to ward off evil energy and evil spirits. Its main feature is the attraction and removal of negative ions from the environment and people.
Pay attention to specific recommendations for each slander. If it requires the ritual to be performed at a specific time, for example, at midnight, strictly follow these requirements.
The best days for rituals are Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. But if you need to ask for health or fulfill another very important fateful wish, it is not forbidden to carry out the spell on another day of the week. However, your desire and your energy in this case should be a hundred times stronger than usual.
Before the ritual itself, you cannot eat anything; it is advisable not to eat food three hours before performing the salt spell. Remember that food carries a certain charge of energy, and most often, unfortunately, negative. This is not surprising, because modern products are saturated with substances that carry an extreme negative charge - preservatives, phosphates, nitrates and dyes. Therefore, before the ritual itself, you can drink only clean water.
When and how to use spoken salt
Ordinary hexes for the purpose of fulfilling desires are read using salt purchased a few hours before this action. The hexed salt should be used within 12 hours after the incantation, and in rare, special cases, within 6 hours.
Salt spoken at midnight or before dawn retains its information the longest - for 12 hours. If you slandered salt during the day or evening, then the duration of the spell is reduced to 8-10 hours, depending on the strength of your desire and your faith. There have been cases when spoken salt at inopportune times was effective for more than 20 hours! It’s just that the person’s desire was so great that the energy of salt turned out to be very strong.
But we take average values. The duration of the hex is also reduced if the hex is carried out with some inaccuracies, not quite according to the rules. However, deviations are also possible here, because faith and the power of desire create a powerful flow of positive energy that is transferred to the salt, and the salt no longer needs additional ways to protect its energy and outside help.
Spelled salt can be used in different ways. This is specifically stipulated in each individual case. However, for example, when fulfilling a wish for health, salt is carried in a linen bag in a pocket or under clothing near the place where it hurts. Spelled salt is also added to food. For good luck, they also carry salt with them, but not in bags, but in a wallet or notebooks and notepads, sometimes in gloves or simply in pockets. To maintain peace in the house or cleanse the home, salt is thrown into the corners, placed under the pillow, sprinkled on flowers, and added to the ground.
How to use waste salt
After casting a spell on salt, you can begin to use it immediately or during the time when it retains its energetic properties. For example, if you performed a ritual during the day, and even with inaccuracies, then on average the salt will be active within 6 hours after the hex. Perhaps more, but you should not take risks, otherwise your wish will not come true. Therefore, try to start using salt as intended within 6 hours. For example, you are required to carry salt in your pocket in a linen bag. During this time, you must sew a bag and have time to put the salt in your pocket before its activity expires. As soon as you do this, the salt will begin to act, and the duration of its effect will no longer be subject to our predictions. The salt will give you its energy and work for you as long as it takes to fulfill your desire. Therefore, you should carry salt in your pocket for a long time, until the result comes.
If you still don’t see the effect, don’t rush to take the salt out of your pocket. This means it is still working and you just need to wait. But if the wish is not fulfilled within three months, and there are no hints of its fulfillment, it means that the ritual was performed incorrectly or you were disingenuous when pronouncing the curse. Then you should look into yourself and ask: was my desire really that great? The fact is that salt stores not only energy, but also the wisdom of the earth. She will never do anything against a person who is sincere in his desires, but is mistaken in the need to fulfill them. So, sometimes today we want one thing, and tomorrow we understand how meaningless and stupid our desire was, because something completely different happens in life, exactly what we need. In this case, remember if any changes have occurred to you; perhaps the salt fulfilled your desire, only slightly changing it for your own benefit. Over time you will appreciate it. Another option for not fulfilling a desire is possible - when you yourself resist it. Salt sends you signals about what to do, but you don’t notice them and continue to live the way you want. Most often this concerns health. For example, you ask salt for recovery from a stomach ulcer, but do not listen to the voice of your intuition and do not follow the doctor’s orders, continuing to eat spicy food, drink carbonated water and smoke. Then no spoken salt will help you, because you yourself destroy its energy with your unreasonable actions. You should also listen to the voice of intuition when performing spells for good luck, material wealth, career and study. Failure to hear your inner voice often leads to disastrous results. Then don't blame the salt!
USING THE MAGICAL PROPERTIES OF SALT TO BALANCE, PROTECT AND CLEANSE YOUR HOME:
- Bowls of salt can be placed in the room to absorb negative energy or psychic energy disturbances. Simply place a cup of salt right by the front door of every room in your home or office. This salt will absorb the bad energy of this environment. Change the cup of salt once a week.
- Place a glass of water at the main entrance of every room in your home or office. Add two tablespoons of salt and a piece of charcoal to this glass. The combination of water, salt and coal is a powerful catalyst against bad energy. Change the contents of the glass with salt and coal once a week.
- Pour 10 liters of tap water into a bucket and add a tablespoon of salt. And once a month, wash the floor of your house with this mixture.
- Salt itself is very strong. But if you mix it with any pepper - black, red or cayenne - you get a much stronger mixture.
- A box containing salt can be used to clean whatever is placed in it.
- Sprinkling salt on a person is usually used as a means to cleanse a person's aura of negative energy.
- Regular bathing in salt water is an excellent remedy against all kinds of negative disorders. It is also beneficial for the physical body. Thus, salt is a bridge between the physical and metaphysical world for humans.
Chemical properties of acid salts
1) acid salts contain hydrogen atoms that can take part in the neutralization reaction, so they can react with alkalis, turning into medium or other acidic salts - with fewer hydrogen atoms. For example:
KH2PO4+2KOH®K3PO4+2H2O,
KH2PO4+KOH®K2HPO4+H2O,
K2HPO4+KOH®K3PO4+H2O,
6K2HPO4+3Ba(OH)2®Ba3(PO4)2+4K3PO4+6H2O.
2) acid salts of weak acids react with strong acids to form a medium salt and a weak acid:
NaHCO3+HCl®NaCl+CO2+H2O.
3) acid salts decompose when heated to form a middle salt, water and anhydride (if it is released as a gas) or a salt corresponding to another form of oxygen-containing acid with the same oxidation state of the element:
2NaHCO3®Na2CO3+H2O+CO2↑,
2KHSO3®H2O+K2S2O5 (potassium disulfite or pyrosulfite),
2NaHSO4® H2O+Na2S2O7 (sodium disulfate or pyrosulfate),
2Na2HPO4®H2O+Na4P2O7 (sodium diphosphate or pyrophosphate).
Obtaining acid salts
Acid salt can be obtained:
1) the reaction of incomplete neutralization of a polybasic acid with a base:
2H2SO4+Cu(OH)2®Cu(HSO4)2+2H2O;
2) the interaction of a polybasic acid and its average salt:
4H3PO4+Ca3(PO4)2®3Ca(H2PO4)2;
3) when the acidic oxide of a polybasic acid interacts with a lack of alkali:
CO2+NaOH→NaHCO3;
4) acid salts are formed by the hydrolysis of salts formed by a strong base and a weak acid:
K2CO3+H2O«KHCO3+KOH.
Magical properties to attract money and good luck
In many cultures, the magical properties of salt are often used to attract money and good luck . Salt symbolizes the forces of the Earth. It breaks down the energy that is stopping you from moving forward in your life, achieving wealth and prosperity.
- Wrap a teaspoon of salt in paper or a fabric bag so that it does not crumble and place it in a secret compartment in your wallet. Change the salt every ten days to ensure its effectiveness. It is said that this brings wealth to the owner of the wallet.
- Place salt on the top of your front door. This is used to provide an opportunity to bring good luck, prosperity and favorable energy into your home.
- Sun traps work well when salt crystals reflect all the colors of the rainbow. Place the salt in a bowl and place it on a windowsill where the sun shines. Multi-purpose colors preserve and bring favorable energy into your property to attract good luck and prosperity. This placement of salt is especially important in your living room and bedroom, as well as the kitchen area of your home.
The best time to perform these rituals is during the new moon. Because the energy evolves as the new moon turns into a full moon.

How to use salt in black magic of cleansing
In magic you can use simple table salt
It is customary to begin any ritual, and not only in northern magic, with cleansing. This in itself creates protection. If you make a protective circle in a dirty room, it will not provide you with protection. Where there is uncleanness there is no protection.
Protection and cleansing are connected into one knot. Without cleansing there is no protection. Protection implies purity.
Magic salt, no matter how surprising it is to newcomers to magic, is a powerful way of protection and, as is now clear, cleansing. You understand that when we talk about “dirt” in magic, it means not only physical dirt, but also what came from other worlds and settled around us. We know about navyas - various manifestations of Chaos hostile to people, about the so-called “larvas” - dark entities that parasitize in our world on the unkind feelings of people, various kinds of “settlers” (in our area called “hiccups”).
So, protection begins with cleansing the Body and Soul. Salt will help us with this magic. I will not separate these rituals, everything is one. Our ancestors observed the natural rhythms of life, ate some healthy food, turned to the Native Gods and Ancestors to receive the power of the Spirit - all this is important for internal purity. All ritual actions - jumping over a fire, swimming in natural reservoirs, burning effigies, leading round dances - are aimed at cleansing and protection, at attracting the magic of the elements. Water, fire, wind and, of course, earth - primarily through salt.
The most common magical means of cleansing and healing were spoken water, sweeping away garbage, and salt. An important part of cleansing was a visit to the bathhouse - with the obligatory rubbing with “salty honey” (a mixture of salt and honey).

How to cleanse your house of bad things with salt
Salt is indispensable in black magic. Look for yourself at the most famous methods of cleansing - you probably yourself use salt in this way one way or another. An explanation for those who are not entirely familiar with our ideas: white magic is used to attract goodness, to gain; black magic is the magic of purification. We do not consider evil influences, witchcraft that violates free will, at all. In any case, we turn to the Native Gods, created by Rod, the Creator God.
1. Pour a glass of white (or better yet, black) salt into a frying pan, put pins or needles in it - as many as the person lives in the house. Place the frying pan with salt on moderate heat, heat the salt, stirring counterclockwise from time to time (anti-salt). At the same time, list the troubles, looking at the salt and saying: “Out of sight, out of mind.” Do this until the salt darkens or the salt in the pan begins to crackle and “jump.”
2. Then turn off the heat, and, taking the frying pan more comfortably, turn your back to the stove and begin to walk around the house to the left, anti-salt. Slowly move the pan of salt along the walls, collecting some salt in the corners, including corners formed by furniture, over beds and tables. Go through all the rooms counterclockwise, the doors should be open everywhere except the entrance.
3. Return to the stove, light the fire, fry the salt, stir the anti-salt, saying: “Where it came from, that’s where it went. Gone with the wind - go with the wind. It came from evil people - go back." After extinguishing the fire, carefully pour the salt with water, wash everything off either onto the ground or down the drain.
Everyone who has performed this ancient ritual knows the role of salt in this magic - the air is purified in an amazing and strange way, it becomes cleaner and brighter, one can breathe easily, and the burden of worries falls from the soul. This is how salt works in this black magic.
Do this cleaning several times a year, or whenever you feel the air in your home is heavy. I advise you to use a special cast-iron frying pan for this calcination of salt, which you will not use when cooking.
The real story about the magical power of salt
This story actually happened. She proves that there is always a place for miracles in a person’s life. When it seems like the world around you is collapsing, otherworldly forces come to the rescue.
The marriage between Vladimir and Varvara did not last long. Varya caught her husband cheating and kicked him out. After the divorce, Varvara could not start a new life. It seemed to her that a wall had grown in her path, against which she was beating with all her might. And as a result, she remains in one place, all exhausted and exhausted.
Cheating husband
When everyone had already given up, my sister came to the rescue. Everyone thought Oksana was strange. The girl was superstitious and used cards to tell fortunes. But at that moment it didn’t matter, as long as it helped.
"We'll need salt!" - Oksana said loudly.
"Salt?" - Varvara asked in bewilderment.
“Yes, exactly salt!” — the girl repeated affirmatively.
Salt removes negative energy. To do this, you should store it in an open container in the house. And to enhance the cleansing effect, you should pour it into a frying pan and heat it thoroughly. If the crystals darken, there is definitely an excess of negativity. With a hot frying pan, you should go around the entire house, without leaving a single nook unattended.
The ritual of cleansing the soul and body is simple. It is enough to take a salt bath and say the spell three times.
“Mother Earth, lying under your feet, hear me and answer my call. Enter my house, this is a sacred place. Heal me who lives in it.”
For a sound sleep, it is recommended to place two open salt shakers at the head of the bed and at the feet. This is a good amulet and restores peace of mind. In the morning, salt from salt shakers should be instilled or washed off. And so on every day until a feeling of vivacity and a surge of strength comes.
Since salt helped Varvara cope with a difficult life situation, the woman began to respect signs and revere the ancient seasoning. And sometimes she again uses proven salt spells. Today Varya has everything she wanted: a loving husband, healthy children, prosperity, peace of mind and confidence in the future. And salt played an important role in this...
Salt against magic - the role of salt in protection
Both white and black salt are used against magic.
Here are the secrets that we pass on among ourselves - about the use of salt in magic, as they say, salt against magic. These are genuine techniques with amazingly effective results.
- After the deceased, the floor is washed only in one direction, towards the doors.
They kept saying: “There is no mistress, there is no mistress.” So that she doesn't come. By the way, you can put an ax and a knife under the pillow, or on the threshold. Bread and salt under the dead man’s right armpit: “Drink and eat, don’t scare us.” One woman did not do this; she sat down on a bench at night - and her deceased husband sat down next to her. Although she was frightened, she rushed to the salt shaker, threw a pinch at him: “Here, eat, don’t scare us!”, and so he left, as if it never happened. — One woman’s dead husband visited her. She had two children. And the old man comes here to spend the night. She says: “Grandfather, help.” He says: “When it’s evening, cover the table with a clean napkin, put some bread and salt, dress the boy and girl in clean clothes.” She did just that. So she hears: there was a rattle, a noise, the door opens, the husband says: “Where has this been seen, where has this been heard, for a brother to marry his sister?” And the old man replies: “Where has this been seen, where has this been heard, for a dead man to walk?” He will shout: “Oh, I guessed it!” - and left. The old man said: “It’s the last night, otherwise I would have strangled you.”- And sometimes, where salt is poured, in the corridor or on the stairs, it also causes damage. There was one woman, she maraks it [To marak - to be able to] she made water, sprinkled salt, came in the morning - not a single piece of salt, all the little devils were collected.
“Once we had a sheep grazing, it was about to lamb.” I wanted to take her home, and then some aunt walks by and says: “It’s too early, she’s not going anywhere!” And then the sheep didn’t come. No night, no two. They searched everything and couldn't find it. They sent me to Nikulkino to see Baba Fenya. She showed how to make marks. Grandfather did, yes, apparently, wrong. The sheep appeared to the neighbor girl. While they were running there, she disappeared again. We went to grandma Fenya again. I said: “Grandma, so and so, went for a ride and ran away again and was gone.” And she says: “That’s wrong, apparently your grandfather made the marks.” Then she said bread and salt, then she tied it up with a fuss and said: “When you go, put it on the first alder bush, a little to the right, and go don’t look back.. The field and the field won’t let her in.” I did everything as she said. That same day the sheep came out.
- It attacked me - one blew into the wind, and blisters appeared. I’m walking from the field, a woman is walking, she’s angry with me. I run, she shouts after me: “Ugh, red face, when you die, death will not take you!” I came home and I couldn’t get up, I started getting blisters. Somehow I became a knowledgeable grandmother. Grandmother says: “Spend the night with me. If you fall asleep right away, it will be easier, but if you don’t, that’s it.” She talked about the salt. In the morning I wake up - everything became easy, like something had been untied. On the way she also told me about salt, and a rag, and some coal. The third hex was accepted by nightfall. All the blisters have gone somewhere.
