Pop Culture Witch: Void Salts

By nightkunoichi on tumblr

A magic idea inspired by Skyrim!

Ingredients:
Container of somesort
Black Ritual Salt OR Black Lava Salt
Crushed Poppy Seeds
Window Sill
New Moon

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ: Poppy seeds can potentially put your pets (like cats or dogs) into a coma. Please ensure that your furry child cannot get to your poppy seeds and consume this salt mixture.

Uses:
In Skyrim the two things that I was pulling from that Void Salt have health damaging properties or magicka fortifying properties. That in mind, this mixture can be used in spells to weaken enemies and spirits. This could also help in settling an agitated mind and help fortify it due to the sedative properties of poppy. On that you could also add this to a dream satchet for dream work, use to inflict confusion and even illusions.

Directions:

If you plan on using this in kitchen magic or consuming it some how, use the Black Lava Salt and NOT the Black Ritual Salt.

Black Ritual Salt is not for consumption.

Grind up your poppy seeds and then mix it in with your salt. Depending on the effect you are going for, you will need to modify the amount of poppy used. A small amount will be best for magic fortifying and calming an agitated mind. A moderate amount would be ideal for dream work. And a large amount for inflicting confusion, illusions and damage. Be sure to mix it all together thinking on your intent and channeling that energy into the mixture.
After you have made your mixture, set in a window to charge up on the night of the New Moon. This will help enhance the properties of the mixture, especially the confusion aspect. Keep your Void Salts stored in a dark place after you have charged it!
