Making Your Own Consecration Powder

My other jar broke so I’ve had to start over, but this is how you can get more use out of your incense to make a consecration powder or fill a mojo bag with it. You can bless each individual incense stick before you light it with a specific prayer or you can bless an entire box. Once the incense is done burning, collect the ash to put in a jar that can remain on your altar or in a safe, special place.

An example would be, if you’re using an incense to bring abundance or cash, you would already be using a money attraction scent. You wouldn’t mix the powder with other incense ash. This “money ash” would have its own jar. This is when you can make a money mojo bag, or use the ash to bless your wallet and your cash by rubbing the ash all over these items.

Black Salt Protection Jar

Ingredients/Equipment Used:

~ sea salt

~ black peppercorns

~ an incense stick

~ tiny glass jar

~ pestle and mortar

~ spoon

~ little bowl/plate

~ hemp string

Method:

1. Put equal amounts of salt and black pepper into your pestle and mortar. Grind these up as coarse or as fine as you’d prefer; personally, I ground them up quite small to make it easier to get them into the jar.

2. Light your incense stick and use the smoke from this to cleanse the jar. If you already have some incense ash saved up, add this to your salt and pepper mixture. If you don’t, wait for the incense stick to burn completely and use these ashes.

3. Mix the ground up salt, pepper and ash together. Some may choose to add activated charcoal or black food colouring at this stage to give the black salt a darker colour.

4. Place the jar into the bowl (or on the plate) you chose to use; this will help collect any black salt that didn’t make it into the jar! Spoon your mixture into the jar until it is almost full; I found if you fill it up to the top the cork doesn’t sit in the jar securely enough.

5. Push the cork securely into the bottle and wrap your hemp string around the neck. Tie a knot to secure it and tie another at the ends of the string at your preferred length. Cut off the excess string and burn the ends to prevent fraying.

Alternatives:

~ A different type of string or cord could be used for this necklace. I prefer hemp string because it’s unbelievably soft. It’s also sustainable, recyclable and 100% biodegradable. Hemp is deemed as a ‘carbon negative’ material as more carbon is taken out of the atmosphere by the growth of the hemp plant than is emitted as a result of its production. The fibres in hemp string are longer than those in cotton; this makes the hemp string stronger. However, hemp string is quite susceptible to fraying so burning the ends is vital to prevent this.

~ Instead of placing the black salt in a jar and wearing it as a necklace, you could place it in a bowl underneath your bed to protect you as you sleep. Additionally, you could sprinkle your black salt on your household’s property line or use it to cast a circle.

~ I have explained a few ways you could use black salt to drive away those (being spiritual or physical) that would do you harm. However, black salt can also be used to create a hex or a curse.

Disposal:

To dispose of any excess black salt (or any black salt that’s fulfilled it’s duty) bury it in your garden; if you don’t have a garden, try burying it somewhere close to home. However, if you used your black salt for a hex or a curse, bury it somewhere far from your home (and from where anyone or anything may accidentally stumble across it!); violent, negative energies are tricky things, and can turn out to be quite clingy.

Some Hoodoo practitioners recommend burying it near a crossroads or a graveyard. Additionally, you could dispose of your black salt by throwing it into running water (ie. a river). If you do this, ensure the water is really moving; you don’t want your salt to just swirl around in one stagnant spot.

About The Ingredients:

Salt is a mineral that is used often in purification and protection spells. I prefer sea salt as it is the most natural, typically unbleached, and chemically untreated salt. However, other kinds can also be used. Salt has been used for protection for a very long time, and it’s believed to absorb negative energy. Metaphysically, black salt absorbs and wards off any negative energy you don’t want coming into your home. This can be any type of energy—living people, spirits, or other energies.

Black pepper is also used to drive away unwanted people, banish negative energy, and gives protection from evil. It has a ‘masculine energy’, and is associated with the element of air, and the planet mars.

The ash you use can be from your fireplace, smudging bundles, incense, or even your BBQ grill. However, I recommend using ash that has magickal properties attached to it. For instance, I like to use the remaining ash from a burnt out incense stick or cone I used for energy cleansing, unbinding or protection spells. This allows me to combine the energy from that with the purification I seek with my black salt.

If you choose to use activated charcoal in your black salt, this will give it a much darker colour. Charcoal is enriched with magickal properties; it is associated with fire, earth, air, and is greatly powerful in its cleansing abilities (both medicinally and spiritually).

You can tell this mortar and pestle is new because there isn't ash everywhere yet.
