IngredientsCoarse sea salt (fine salt works too)Bay laurel, small handful (dried is best) Nag Champa oil Sage incense, smudge stick, or Palo Santo Mortar and pestle Small airtight jar DescriptionA simple spell to ward away negativity and unwanted entities, people, or both, from your home. Simple to perform, with ingredients you probably already have on hand!
Spell CastingMake sure you have all your needed ingredients set up in your working area before beginning. Light the incense, smudge stick, or Palo Santo, and smoke the area to purify. Cast a protective circle, and begin. Add the salt — a large handful or so will do — to your mortar, then use your hands to crumble the bay laurel into the mortar as well, atop the salt. Take your pestle in hand and begin to grind, chanting the spell: Salt of earth, this home protects From every curse and every hex. Unwanted ones I ward away, With Apollo’s leaf of bay. It should be noted that if you don’t have a mortar and pestle, you can also just use a bowl and spoon, and stir, but this works much better if you hand-grind. Keep grinding and chanting until the salt-bay mixture is as fine as you can get it — your arms will be tired! Once you’re done grinding, transfer the salt to the small jar and add a few drops of the Nag Champa oil, seal the jar, and shake it vigorously until the oil is evenly distributed. Spread a thick line of the salt across every threshold in your dwelling, repeating the spell each time. The protection will last until the salt is worn or blown away, and to re-protect, just spread a new line and say the spell again. This spell can be performed anytime but is most effective when performed on a Thursday, as that day is associated with the home and family. Evoking Hekate is also effective, as She is the Goddess of the threshold and the home. Any unused salt should be stored in the airtight jar in a cool, dark place. Magic spells for everyone, anytime, any occasion.
