No one is surprised that in the house the holy water is kept for cases of diseases, both physical and mental, and a variety of evil eye and corruption. But the Orthodox tradition of Thursday salt at some point was lost and forgotten. In fact, this salt, black and ugly, was once stored in the home of every mistress, and was used not less than holy water.
What is the Thursday salt?
Thursday salt is a large rock salt, burnt in an oven with a kvass thick, cabbage leaves and spicy herbs. Such salt is cooked on Clean Thursday, and the first time is applied on the following day, on Good Friday.
Thursday salt is really a wide range of applications:
- in diseases;
- After the ill-wisher visited the house;
- if one of the relatives is delayed on the way and can not return;
- if there is trouble in the house, quarrels between spouses;
- that children grow up healthy, beautiful and obedient;
- and in general, so that everything in the house went smoothly.
Preparation of Thursday salt
For the preparation of Thursday salt, you first need to do kvass, because we will need a leaven.
So, if you have it, it should be mixed with large rock salt, placed in an oven or oven (it must be preheated to 250 ° C). Bake the salt until it turns black.
The resulting mixture must be sieved through a sieve - what remains inside the sieve, you need to pour into jars and use instead of the usual salt for food and household needs.
But for conspiracies, the Thursday salt should be placed in a linen bag.
Conspiracy of Thursday salt
Salt in the bag, go out the next day, at dawn on the threshold, pronounce the words of the plot , and then step through it with your right foot into the house and start circling counterclockwise, stopping in front of each door.
The bag, after a detour, must be stored in the kitchen next to the oven, or oven, but so that no foreign eye can see it.
