Black salt like many other black items used in the occult world is often associated with evil and dark magic by outsiders.

How to make black salt Making your own black salt is easy. Simply gather your ingredients in your mortar and mix with the pestle. For ashes, you can use the ashes of incents, from a bonfire, or your favorite smudge sticks. The more you connect the ashes to your intentions for your black salt the more powerful it will be. If you opt to use paper or a charcoal disk grind them together in the mortar and pestle before mixing in your salt. Store your black salt inside an airtight glass jar.

It must be airtight or the salt will absorb water it the air and harden into a large clump fairly easy. Using black salt in magic Black salt is great for protection and banishing negative energy.

Like I do you can use airtight containers or for a more powerful option small pouches of black salt around your home to help absorb negative energy and emotions.
