Witches’ Name: Flame of Warding
Also Known As: Witch’s Burn Salt
Celtic History:
Among ancient Celtic witches, the force of fire was called upon for protection, banishment, and the unmaking of harmful energies. Fire was believed to hold the power to sever curses, ignite transformation, and mark boundaries between the seen and unseen. Salts empowered by fire were cast in sacred rites to seal spells, defend thresholds, and awaken fierce inner strength. Such workings were used in times of war, oath-breaking, or when a witch’s will needed to burn brighter than fear.
