🌙 Episode 2 — Salt: The Witch’s Swiss Army Knife

In this delightfully salty episode, Juan and River dive into one of the oldest, most universal tools in the witch’s arsenal: salt. From ancient purification rites to modern kitchen-witch spells, salt has been a protective powerhouse across cultures for thousands of years — and today your hosts are unpacking all its magical, practical, and occasionally chaotic uses.

Join us as we explore the folklore of salt, its role in folk traditions around the world, and how witches today use it for protection, cleansing, boundary-setting, and potent kitchen magic. You’ll also get a simple at-home salt bowl blessing ritual, a listener story, and (of course) a full Bitchin’ Break about the gatekeeping around “fancy” salts.

Grab a pinch, a handful, or the whole damn shaker — this is one elemental deep dive you won’t want to miss.
