I made my own Fire Salts today based on this recipe. The power of the alchemy effects on the new salts. A regular gem and a pile of salt will get you 2 batches, while a flawless gem will get you 4. With the proper gem you can craft Fire (garnet), Frost (sapphire) and Void (diamond) Salts as well as 3 new types. I also like them for protection spells and warding. Use the heat of the smelter to imbue mundane salt piles with elemental attributes. Want to curse some jerk head? Fire salts can help you out. Need some creativity and inspiration? Just a dash will do. Want more passion? Add a pinch of fire salt. Anything where you want to add the properties of fire to a spell, you can add some fire salt. These can be used to represent the element of fire at your altar, circle, as an offering, ect…anything where you might want a lit candle, you could use a jar, pinch, or pile of fire salt. In small amounts, when controlled, this is a warming spice that adds just a bit of heat. They’re all warming spices, and have the same effect as a fire. The paprika, red peppers, and garlic are all tied to the element fire. The salt is just the base, it holds the energy from everything else in a real nice way, and makes it perfect for using as a spice. Just enough to get some of the energy and intent from the flame into the mix.

I like to throw them all in a dry pan and heat them real quick while I mix them up. The good thing about this is that it can be made so it’s 100% edible, and can be used in cooking, or spells where you might want to eat or drink the spell when you’re done. This is part green witchery, and part kitchen witchery. I don’t always want actual flames when I’m using the element of fire in my work, and some people can’t have fire where they practice.
