Witches Salt
Witches Salt, or Black Salt, is a very cheap and powerful ingredient in protection spells. It has independent origins in Hoodoo, Western Alchemy, Appalachian Folk Magic and European folk magic, and is made of ingredients friendly to even the tightest budget.
Combine coarse salt (purifying), black pepper (protection from bad people), cast iron scrapings (protection from bad spirits/Faeries), campfire/wood ashes (concealing and protecting) and ground-up charcoal (filters bad magic), in varying measures until you have a nice, black salt.
Tip: Add a protective sigil to the container you keep it in.
Try using it for things like:
-Draw lines across your windows and doorways to keep out bad magics/people -Mix it in water and pour it over your car tires to protect your car -Put it in a sachet along with other protective herbs, and hang it somewhere to protect that area -Pour a pile under your bed to protect you from nightmares/bad spirits
