Extra Salt

This week will require extra salt. Without it the dance of the planets could sit too heavy in our bellies. The turn of the wheel could feel too dark. The dance of the shadow could exhaust instead of enchant us.

Salt before you let any weight crush your delicate spirit. Salt as merchants and wise women have done for centuries before you. Invest in salt. Begin your week with a simple salting and allow the divine chemistry of this ancient remedy to dance with yours.

Salt is magic, pure and simple. Immersed in it, we are cleansed and enlightened. It releases bonds, protects us from ill intention and reinvigorates our delicate balance. You can soak or scrub or scatter it. You can sit a simple bowl of it beneath your bed or upon your desk.

Keep it a safe distance from your wounds but taste it in your tears, darkling. You too are comprised of it and absolutely worth your salt. Mine its value before all else this week unfolds.

Wise is the one who flavours the future with some salt from the past
