Salt has many uses throughout the years.....food preservative or seasoning, cleansing agent, medicine, etc. A long time ago it was fought over and valued as much as gold because of its uses. Seeing how it physically purified things our ancestors took it a step further and realized it had spiritual cleansing capabilities as well. From there it has been found throughout history used in the every way. People believe it keeps out evil, disease, negative energy, and can cleanse our bodies of any of that we may have unknowingly absorbed. We sprinkle it in our window sills and thresholds to keep all bad out and to protect us within. Some people even use it as an offering to deity. So, salt can be used to purify, protect and even to bless things. In the Cynnamon Charmed shop we offer black salt. Black salt is a mixture of regular salt and other ingredients and is the "gold" standard in protection salts. Above are some pictures of our latest batch that is now available in the shop. And, if your interested in further reading, here are just a couple interesting articles I came across on the uses of salt in history and today:
