Some Black Salt Daily Uses

In a little bag under your pillow - ward of nightmares and bad dreams, ward of unwanted spirits and watchers

Make a line of black salt under the windows and/or doors - keep the evil out, avoid unwanted company, reflect jealously and slander back to its source

Use it to clean the house and ritual area - to wash away negativity

In bath water - To wash away depression and negativity

Keep it on your personal chair or desk - Take away bullies, bad attention of bosses and co-workers

Through into fire - with your worries and fears in a paper to rid them

And remember that salt can absorb pretty much anything, this salt uses will absorb a lot of negative energy, so you’ll have to change it sometimes. You can take the old used salt away by: -Grounding it on earth -Throughing it into the wind away from you -Washing the salt away in flowing water

I really liked the post about your last hiking but there's something that bothers me. I know you never meant that in that way but the amulet you have...You know it is strictly connected to neonazism nowadays right? You can spot this symbol at every far-right march so doesn't it make you feel uneasy? What's your opinion about using pagan symbols that mean something completely different now from what it was supposed to be in the past? I just want to warn you and to know what you think. Love, anon

you cannot ask a Polish Rodnover whether she knows who uses this symbol and warn me. of course I do. I’ve fought for this symbol. 

I got beaten up for wearing it with my rainbow shirt.

nazis see it and approach me, overjoyed, and I shake my head, and laugh. I will get my teeth kicked in for it, surely, but I do not care.

I will never allow the nazi scum to take it from me - it’s my heritage, my right, a symbol of my ancestors.

I will not idly allow them to take it and taint it and shit on it - for me it is sacred and always close to my heart. I want the world to see it and think “slavic” and “ancient” and “little sun” and “LOVE” and not “nazis”.

if we allow them to use our symbols and give them sole rights to them - same with norse, celtic - then they will take them and twist them and ruin them, taint them with hatred. as long as there are people like me - for whom the old faith is about love and equality, and nature, and our bond to things we cannot fully comprehend - we will keep fighting. this symbol belongs to me through my blood, my land, my research, my devotion, my love. it does not belong to them - hatred is no claim at all.

this symbol does not mean something else now - but soon it might. people ask me sometimes “is this, you know… a swastika..? are you… you know?” and I bend over backwards to explain that no, I am not, and yes I am aware, but listen - we have to fight for our symbols. we have to fight the scum. take what they hold dear and fill it with love, glaze it with it so thickly they will refuse to touch it.

I used to be scared of Kolovrat, I used to be scared of our old swastikas. caution is necessary - fear is not. I wear it precisely for this reason - so people keep asking, I keep telling them the truth, so nazis keep getting mad, and so more and more wonderful people keep wearing the kolovrat with love and tolerance and hope in their hearts.

these are our old symbols, and we simply cannot let them be tainted and stolen from us. it is a difficult road, and it does make me feel uneasy, but it is necessary.

I do it for those that were before me, for those that share my path in this life, and for all those that will come after me - and look at their old symbols in search for meaning, belonging, family.

Magical Metals: The Basics

I’ve gotten a few requests for a pared-down version of some of the magical properties of common metals. 

Aluminum: Invisibility, protection (though not very useful against metal-based magic), good for magic requires a high strength-to-weight ratio

Brass and Bronze: Auditory magic, music, communication, protection from wear-and-tear, resilience, opening doors

Copper: Health and healing, energy, warmth, utility, protection, change, protection, safeguarding and transmission of essentials

Gold: Beauty, glamour, appearances, wealth, love, overcoming addiction

Iron and Mild Steel: Protection, permanence, opposition to nature, urban magic, influence, destruction, curses, strength, blood magic, health

*Lead: (Caution, Lead is quite toxic. Do not touch it. in case of contact or possibility of contamination, wash the affected area rigorously): Curses, hexes and maledictions, and (maybe) their reversal 

Magnesium: Impermanence, fire magic, energy 

Pewter and Tin: Protection from wear-and-tear, home and family, every-day magic, utilitarian magic, illumination, knowledge and divination, softening

Silver: Boosting energy, warding illness (but not necessarily healing), good price-to-beauty ratio, domesticity, offensive magic (like the silver bullet)

Stainless Steel, Chrome, and Nickel: Permanence, glamour, greed, urban magic, brittleness, the home, opening doors

Zinc: Protection (Specifically from light-based magic or being seen in divination), warding, invisibility

Of course, in my practice, these properties change drastically according to how the metals are used. I’m a strong believer in ‘active’ casting- that is to say that i don’t just put things in a circle and speak a few words. My magic is typically cast by altering the objects or materials in some way. A hand-forged iron nail makes a better taglock when designated as a target during its making than a store-bought nail with a metaphysical nametag. Just my two cents.
