Salt has always been a primary magickal cleanser that can be made more powerful with herbs from your garden. An added bonus? It’s edible! The salt dries the herbs and at the same time absorbs the essential oils. Use only the parts of the herbs that are edible–that way you can use the salt either in magick or on the dinner table!
Finely chop chosen herbs, layering 1/4-inch at the bottom of a Mason jar. Sprinkle with a thin layer of salt. Put in another layer of herbs, followed by the salt. Continue this layering technique until the jar is full. Cover the top layer of herbs completely with salt, and seal the jar. Let set for about one week. Herbs should be dry. Dump into a clean bowl, and stir thoroughly. You can put your herb salt in smaller, airtight containers or pour it back into the original Mason jar. For recipes, try the combination listed under herbal butters or herbal bouquets.
