Egg Shell Powder tutorial: how to make it and use it
Egg shell powder is useful in witchcraft because it protects and purifies.
It helps block non-corporal beings from a physical space so pressing it into chalk form, or sprinkling it can work as a barrier to keep unwanted nasties at bay.
Some say it even blocks out the benign energies at work as well, so it’s great for those times when you need to just sit and be a muggle for a little while.
Sprinkle it across thresholds such as windows and doors or even use it to draw sigils.
It can also be used to enhance psychic ability in a way because it protects you from that which seeks to take advantage of you when your engaged in psychic activity.
Simply rubbing a little of the powder on you or dabbing a dot onto your third eye energy point is said achieve this.
Another use is purification and is especially useful in the bath.
It dissolves easily in water so adding it to a bath intended for purification can amp up the cleansing effect.
Place empty eggs shells in boiling water carefully (don’t burn yourself)
Drain water from shells and place on paper towel to dry overnight
When shells are completely dried, place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment
Bake egg shells for about 10 minutes or until they are completely dried at 200 degrees (F)
When cool enough to handle, place egg shells a few at time into an electric coffee grinder and pulse until finely ground
Store in airtight container away from heat or moisture.
To protect from Salmonella (a harmful bacteria that can make you sick) store your used egg shells in the egg carton and refrigerate until you are ready to boil your shells, making sure never to leave them sitting out for long.
Added bonus: Egg shells make great plant food so you can share with your plants. I use this in my homemade pet food as a calcium supplement.
