THE GRIMOIRE / HEXES & BINDINGS

The salt spiral

Lead unwanted attention inward until it loses direction and exhausts itself.

What you’ll need

  • A shallow dark plate
  • Coarse salt
  • A small brush

The ritual

  1. Pour a thin spiral of salt from the rim of the plate toward its center.
  2. Name the unwanted attention and trace the spiral inward with one finger held above it.
  3. At the center say, “Turn upon yourself and find no road to me.”
  4. Brush the salt into an outdoor bin and wipe the plate clean.
