We have a month left of spring, so I went ahead and made air salts for when he's gone and I need that extra umph of wisdom. For when I'm not communicating well and to help break down any illusions that are built up in the time moving forward.
✨ I have a problem with lying to myself ✨I often use the element of air to help me see the truth when I'm somewhat reluctant.
I'll use these salts to cast circles or as a substitute for the air element whenever it's suited (I'm not always in the mood to use smoke as I live with other people, that's not the only way to bring the element of air I know, but these salts will be adding more options for me)
Do you cast circles? If so how do you do it? Salt or visualization are my preferred ways.
I used kosher salt, it's what I had available. This will be the main base and will make up the most of the purifying qualities of the mixture, making elemental salts great for purifying.
I used lavender, ruled by the air element, my intentions were to use it's healing properties to help close any wounds that may have been caused from past lies/illusions. This means that it's helping to create a safe space when used to cast circles. When the circle is cast, my wounds are healed and I can work peacefully.
Then sage, sage for it's cleansing abilities. I'll be using this to break down illusions and help me see the truth. Making this salt a great tool for divination. It prepares me to take in truth without altering or blocking any thing that comes to light that I don't want to see. It takes courage but do this in a time and place you feel safe.
And lastly Dill. I collect my herbs seasonally and Dill is a herb that I've been collecting a lot of this spring. He brings fresh air and great protective properties. Which is why it makes this salt mix perfect of circle casting or dropping in the corners of your room/house. Protect your home from spirits that may create fog in your mind. Clear them out to bring back concentration and a clean headspace. Spring clean your space basically, physically and mentally.
I made two batches of this, one that includes all above, and another with all that and the addition of Bergamot essential oil. I did this so that I could possibly use the first batch to season food, if I wish to do so, I have no idea if it would actually taste nice. Keep in mind with the edition of essential oils it makes these salts inedible. The second batch is purely for magick workings.
The bergamot oil adds additional protection and healing, and smells nice :)
My references when it comes to herbs and magical correspondences I use two books:
