For centuries, salt served as a currency, a food preservative, a medicine, and a spiritual cleansing element. Centuries before our era, the Egyptians used salt to mummify their dead and pickle their fish and meat. Salt is an essential element for life, since the body needs it to function properly. It is said that thousands of troops led by Napoleon Bonaparte perished during the invasion of Russia because, in addition to the freezing temperatures, they lacked salt to heal their wounds.
And, of course, salt has an esoteric value as a symbol of purity in religious rituals. In Japan, for example, salt β or “shio” β is considered a purifier. Some Japanese people sprinkle sea salt on their doorsteps after having an unwanted or distasteful guest.
But the Magic powers of salt can also be used to invite positive energies, such as those of wealth and prosperity. And old saying goes:
βMay you always have salt at home, and may you always have money in your pocket.β

FAQ
What’s the best type of Salt for casting spells?
There are many different types of salt that can be used in spells of Witchcraft. Generally coarse salt is preferred because its large grains are evidence of being less heavily processed than table salt. Here are some options:
Sea Salt for Good Luck
Sea salt is a type of unrefined salt that is obtained directly from the sea. The water is extracted and placed in large trays where it is left for the sun and the wind to evaporate the liquid naturally.
In this way, sea salt retains minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc and iodine, which makes it the most effective type of salt for your spells and works of Magic.
How to use sea salt for good luck? Add a handful of sea salt to your next bath. Get into the water and try to clear your mind, focusing on positive thoughts. If you do it regularly, good fortune and positive energies will accompany you wherever you go.
Black Salt for Protection Spells
Black Salt or Witch’s Salt is a main ingredient in warding magick and banishing spells.
This type of salt is not edible, it is typically used by Witches as a protection agent, being an alternative to salt when salt is not available. Keep in mind that in ancient times, salt could be very expensive and hard to come across.
How to use Black Salt?
- Some Witches like to pour black salt on window frames and doorways to protect the home.
- When you cast a spell, pour a pinch of Black Salt in each corner of the room, before beginning the ritual, to scare away any negative entities.
- Place it on your altar to add power to your spells, meditations, or daily wiccan practice.
- Use it for cleaning or consecrating crystals, amulets, tools, circles of protection, and more.
- When you have a visitor at home and can feel a negative energy, sprinkle a pinch of the Salt after they leave to clear away the bad vibes.
Himalayan Salt
This type of salt has a characteristic pink hue and a slightly bitter taste, and it’s usually highly regarded in high-end restaurants. Despite its name, it does not come from the Himalayas, but mainly from Pakistan.
Like sea salt, it also has many more nutrients and healthy trace elements, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur oxide, iron, manganese, fluorine, iodine, zinc and chromium, plus it is generally obtained through nonindustrial processes. The only disadvantage can be its higher price.
Epsom Salt
Scientifically known as hydrated magnesium sulfate, Epsom salt is a very old and effective remedy for different ailments. Magnesium is not easily absorbed through the stomach, but through the skin, making it an ideal option for restoring baths.
Other beneficial uses of Epsom salts are:
- Massage the skin by gently exfoliating it with a handful of Epsom salt and a tablespoon of bath oil to remove dead skin cells.
- Add half a teaspoon of Epsom salt to your face cleansing cream and use it at night before going to sleep.
- Apply a paste of Epsom salt and water to reduce inflammation, muscle aches, and bruises.
Refined salt or table salt
Although it is the easiest type of salt to find, it is the least recommended due to the industrial processes that it goes through, causing it to lose most of the minerals found in salt. Also, other components, such as aluminum hydroxide, are added to preserve its texture.
