Scorpio Blessing Salt Recipe

Posted on by CJ Wright

This salt is shadow’s sacred thread,
Where secrets stir and truths are shed.
It guards the soul, it clears the veil,
And turns the wound into the grail.

I love making Blessing Salts. I love the feel of the salt and herbs on my fingers and the beautiful scents rising from the mortar as I prepare the blend. Some salts are meant only for ritual or ceremonial purposes and others are for culinary delights. I thought I’d share this ceremonial recipe with you before Scorpio season closes.

This Blessing Salt can be used for protection, as an aid for transformation, to increase emotional depth, or to gain psychic clarity–all associated with Scorpio’s unique power and gifts. This salt is NOT edible, so don’t even try it.

Scorpio Blessing Salt Recipe (NON-Edible)

Planetary Correspondence: Mars and Pluto
Timing: Anytime during Scorpio season or a Waning Moon in Scorpio.

Ingredients

  • Base Salt: Black lava salt, Witch’s black salt, or coarse sea salt
  • Herbs:
    • Dried mugwort (for intuition and shadow work)
    • Crushed rosemary (for protection and purification). Consider adding a small sprig of rosemary to represent a memory that seems to haunt you endlessly. The Waning Moon is made for release, an aid to letting that memory go.
    • Dried hibiscus petals (for emotional intensity and beauty)
  • Crystals:
    • Obsidian chips (for grounding and psychic shielding)
    • Amethyst dust or chips (for spiritual clarity)
  • Essential Oils (optional):
    • Patchouli (earthy depth and mystery)
    • Clove (intensity and transformation)

Instructions

  1. Blend salt and herbs in a glass bowl or mortar and pestle (under candlelight or moonlight, if you desire). If charging your salt under the moon, be sure to cover the bowl or jar with a lid to keep out dirt and who knows what else.
  2. Optional: Add crystal chips and a drop of essential oil.
  3. Stir clockwise with intention, speaking your purpose aloud.
  4. Store in a dark glass jar with a Scorpio glyph as the label or with a lunar charm.

Suggested Uses

Spiritual and Energetic Uses

  • Create protective boundaries: Sprinkle around doorways, windowsills, or the perimeter of your ritual space. This helps to ward off intrusive energies or psychic interference.
  • Cleanse shadowy corners: Use in areas that feel energetically heavy, stagnant, or emotionally charged—Scorpio salt excels at clearing hidden or suppressed energy. Place a sprig of holly in the salt to double the clearing power.
  • Support emotional release rituals: Sprinkle during journaling or grief work to hold space for catharsis and healing.
  • Empower transformation spells: Use in rituals for letting go, rebirth, or personal metamorphosis—especially during Scorpio waning moon phases.

Practical and Symbolic Applications

  • Foundation work: Sprinkle in the foundation of new projects, homes, or sacred spaces. This anchors deep emotional resilience.
  • Travel protection: Carry a pinch in a pouch or vial when visiting emotionally intense places (cemeteries, hospitals, ancestral lands, or people who put off negative vibes).

Scorpio-Specific Ritual Ideas

  • During Moon in Scorpio: Use to mark thresholds, cleanse tools, or seal intentions related to rebirth, power reclamation, or emotional depth.
  • Samhain or ancestral rites: Incorporate into altars or offerings to honor the dead and protect against spiritual intrusion.

By salt and shadow, I cleanse and claim,
Through Scorpio’s depths, I rise again.
What no longer serves, I now release—
In sacred dark, I find my peace.
