Spell: Worth One's Salt

Color of the Day
Incense of the Day
 
That salt is such a valuable product is shown by the myriad expressions and folklore than surround it. If we "take something with a grain of salt," we remain skeptical, harkening to ancient healing traditions where a small bit of salt was added to medicaments in hopes it would enhance the response. In medieval times, salt was stored in a vessel called a "Salt," and feast participants were seated "above the salt" or "below the salt," depending on their status. Likewise, to be "worth one's salt" was to be worth one's salary and refers to times when soldiers or workers were paid with salt or its equivalent.
To us magickal folks, salt is a sacred substance used for protection, psychic protection, grounding, cleansing, and purification. Keep a tiny bowl of salt in your sanctum; use a pinch here and there as needed, and remember to be "worth your salt."
