I make this black salt from the ash of various herbs that I burn, activated and or regular charcoal, black garlic and salt. Black salt is also called Witches Salt and is different from the culinart black salt which is edible. It should be a staple item for every witch. It can be used to absorb and deflect negative energy, It is for protection and unhexing as well as curse reversals. I place black salt at all of my 4 corners and at my threshholds to deglect anything negative from entering. This salt is backed by my strong intent and purpose. It comes in a 2"x3" clear plastic bag that I fill very full.
