HOW A CIRCLE OF SALT WORKS IN THE OCCULT WORLD - AND IN OURS.

You may have seen a movie, read a book, or seen a spell done, in which a circle of salt is made around a person or thing to be used as protection or capture.

There are several ancient origins to this. Some may remember the myth if you pour salt on a bird's tale, it will capture them.

However, there is some credence to salt as a protecting agent and procurer.

We, as life, began life in the sea - meaning that life itself began in the sea.

The sea is saturated with salt, and indeed, all life was once dependent on salt to live.

This is in stark contrast today, as we have evolved as land creatures to live off of fresh water.

In fact, if we went back to drinking salt water, we would literally die.

But nevertheless, our bodies kept a vestigial reminder from our fishy biological ancestor's lives in the sea.

Our bodies are full of salt, despite what our lifestyles are - in fact salt is a vital part of our survival.

Even animals from elephants to butterflies will migrate to wherever they can to lick salt from clay in order to retain the salt content they NEED.

So, what does this have to do with occult protection -well, everything!

In ancient times, people would term certain ailments as demons and entities - malicious poltergeists, and unrestful spirits, all aimed at making the life of the living miserable.

This may sound farfetched, but in reality, there is some very real credence to it.

You see, ailments, whether psychological or physical, DO produce malicious entities, and these are in the form of "negative" energies - such as depression, hopelessness, confusion, and hate.

So, in a way, these demonic spirits really do exist, but in a manner based in psychology and metaphysics, and in every way, the results are the SAME.

The first order of business in such predicaments is giving a genuine prayer to God.

However, practicing rituals can make a real effect on your mind and body - and in doing so, can create a ripple effect against any occult figments that may be harming you.

You have to remember that salt has been a major part of stabilizing life on earth.

Thus, those entities from the netherworld, just like the butterflies and elephants in the wild that migrate to ingest salt, in lore, myth and theory, are also attracted to this vestigial element.

So, when you surround your bed with a circle of salt, they go for the most concentrated sum of it, and are "stuck" ingesting the salt you laid down to protect you, rather than preying on your being to get it.

Salt can also trap a negative entity, if it itself is encircled in it.

This often involves lighting incense, mint leaves, or other herbs to cause a flickering of light, which may cause contractions between our world and theirs.

Like a moth to a flame, they then are drawn to it, and if approaching it from on high, they may get caught within the circle of salt that takes effect, once the entity gets too close.

This is much like a curious animal, getting stuck in a tar pit.

SALT AIN'T SUGAR!

Beware NOT to use sugar in these rituals, as sugar can give the entities power!

Just as sugar gives us mortals energy and sometimes a much-needed boost in life - it will do the same for things from beyond that may be passing through our reality.

Or so ancient Wallachian and Norwegian sages claim.

In ancient times, this notion was well aware of, and even today, you can often see somewhat over-exaggerated attempts to keep sugar secure.

Using sugar as a protective agent may actually do the opposite, by giving other worldly figures a stronger boost to break into our dimensional realm.

You can STILL see this long-practiced ideal on such holidays as The Day of the Dead and Halloween - where sugar is used to DISTRACT negative entities that via seasonal forces, are ALREADY allowed to roam the earth.

Sugar is passed about during these times, so that they do not focus on the populace, during Solstice and seasonal changes.

As is, how do you know these rituals actually worked?!

Well, by the way you FEEL, whether these entities actually exist or not, is not the principle - what matters is how you feel.

Demons and savage apparitions in of themselves, may be from the mental realms of our psychology, but nevertheless, haunt our lives in the very same manner an actual evil entity would, and in that sense, the world of psychology and the occult MERGE.

Whether caused by negative entities or caused by psychological or physical deficits, the results are the SAME.

If you feel the emotions of depression, angst, and worry begin to leave your being; your mission is accomplished, no matter what practice or ritual invoked it.

Thus, understanding the world of the occult and how some rituals can truly benefit your being, is a very valuable asset indeed.
