DO NOT CAST SALT CIRCLES IN FORESTS OR ANYWHERE IN NATURE.

By doing so you’re permanently harming the environment that you’re supposed to be worshipping and treating with respect.

“If working with salt please keep in mind that it is a natural desiccating agent, meaning it sucks out all of the water [therefore] it will kill your grass and destroy the surrounding soil, making it uninhabitable for plants and such.”

NATURE-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES TO SALT:
•crushed eggshells
•nuts (these work especially well if you work closely to a horned god like cernunnos)
•firewood ashes, but try not to use coals when lighting it
•sand, which works epecially well over clay soils. Pls dont use artificially colored sand.
•stones
•herbs (be smart about this)
•green or benzonite clays should be okay on dry soils, buut if i could have somebody check me on this that would be awesome.

And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do your best to sweep up and take home your circle. NEVER LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND because we dont want too much of annnnything in the groundwater systems.

Thanks for the tag. This is very important. Your practice should never risk damaging the environment in a way which will have an effect after you are no longer there to practice.

Ideally, set up a single permanent circle using stones or wood, which will not significantly impact the environment, and can be dismantled if it is ever no longer needed.

Consider also cutting a length of cord and laying this along the boundary of your circle. Or simply place visible symbols at the four quarters.

This is why i like my spell web i can use it as a circle and take it with me no impact.
