Hey everybody! I'm a beginner witch and I've just begun my journey into witchcraft. I was looking into how to make black salt and I keep coming across contrasting recipes...does anyone have any advice and what I should use? Some say they need incense ashes and I'm reluctant to burn incense because I've very sensitive to strong smells and I worry about my dogs. I've tried opening both my windows and my door, but the smell still gets to me.

I've used ash in general not necessarily always the ash from incense. I think incense is always recommended, because it is used and, generally you have a tray that catches the ash as it falls.
Thank you for the input! :)
Do whatever works for you. You can also use coal/charcoal.
I dont think you have to use insence unless you want to, but I wouldn't suggest it if the smell gets to you, I think you can make black salt any way you want to everyone's craft is different
charcoal is a great idea to help make your black salt! if you dont have access to that then i know a lot of people (including myself) use graveyard dirt. depending on where you live charcoal might be a little more accessable. but im sure even regular dirt can help get the job done if you cleanse it!
I know it sounds funny, but if you want to try using charcoal to make black salt, you can get small bags of "activated charcoal" in many pet shops. It's used in fish tank filters, is usually clean (except for coal dust, which is good in this case), and is unlikely to have any major energies associated with it as its purpose is to keep living things healthy in a clean environment. :-)
Any one have some recipes for black salt?
I’ve seen some recipes out there but all varies, what is everyones own recipe they use?
I've seen a lot of recipes as simple as, "mix sea salt with ash from your fireplace or incense, simply mixing in enough to make the salt dark" so I tried mixing the ashes from a more-pyrotechnical-than-usual spell with sea salt, but never got past a very light grey that somehow looked sickly so I didn't use it... I also rediscovered an old mini-hibachi grill in my basement that still had some coal ash from its last use (over a decade ago!), but I realized that ash was almost white so I didn't use it. Unfortunately, every other form of ash I've looked at is also very light in color, so at this point I've removed that entire class of "recipes" for black salt from my list...
Does anyone know if sea salt is a must? And why regular salt wont do for making black salt?
