It's hard to evaluate protection, but I have used this in our car and around our doors and in our laundry, and so far so good!

My housemate and I used this after our difficult housemate moved out, taking things that were not his with him, leaving bills unpaid, and leaving behind some unpleasant energetic residue. I put a small pinch in small bowls of water in ex-housemate's old bedroom and at our apartment door and sprinkled it in corners wherever I felt stuck energy. It helped immediately, but I felt it clear most permanently when I disposed of the water outside.

I also used this salt in a protection ritual on behalf of a friend, both in the ritual itself, and also to encircle the ritual space, since I was using Algol materia in it as well.

I sprinkle this under the doormat and outside the house for boundary protection, and in floor washes. These are a great protective ritual salt and last a long time.

I have long loved the Deneb Algedi materia on offer. These are my first ritual salts and they are so versatile! I find myself adding a pinch to purifying baths, protective witch jars and mojos, and especially for protection during eclipses. Luckily, a little goes a long way and is wonderful paired with Asclepius materia when purifying and consecrating self.

I use this as an extra boost in my home. I often sprinkle some in the corners of my bedroom and house, especially during eclipse season. it also has been useful just putting a pinch into my pockets if I feel I'm entering a particularly precarious situation or throwing a bit into my bag when I travel.

I'm just a couple of months into using S+S materia, but I've tried a pretty decent handful of series by now and feel like I understand them to varying degrees. Sometimes that could mean nice coincidences or a subtle feeling, but working with Deneb Algedi— specifically this salt— was the first occurrence I had of feeling like I was working with *something* definitive, an "oh, THAT," and I felt it right away.

I've seen a few people mention DA having an interesting protective relationship with cars, and I've definitely seen that for myself. I have been in the midst of a tough extended season, and I went out on a drive to cool myself one day, and I wasn't in the greatest headspace when I got behind the wheel. I wasn’t paying attention when I turned left at a certain point and so very narrowly avoided a wreck, and I knew it would’ve been my fault. I was stressed out and feeling guilty for the rest of the ride, but knew it was an especially important reminder to stay present, which is what I’d had the most trouble doing all day. Once I parked, I felt suddenly compelled to basically thank God for keeping me alive and keeping my car unscathed, and I remembered I’d sprinkled DA salt in my pockets that morning. It did feel like something was protecting me, but also reminding me to be responsible— like, "hey, I've got you, but come on, get it together— you can do better than this." It wasn't long before I was sprinkling the salt in the corners of my car like someone here had recommended, and I do feel safer having it there. I won't pretend it hasn't veered into momentary hubris or overreliance on said protection, which it felt like DA has responded to swiftly— not long after a moment where I was feeling a little cocky, maybe a little "haha NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO THE KENNEDYS," I pulled onto a curb on a quiet street and knocked my bumper around a little bit. At the time, I'd been putting off renewing my car insurance, and it felt very much like an interaction with DA, like something mature was reminding me I was cutting corners— a "hey, you've got something big you've been putting off. You're still safe, but don't rest on your laurels." Nothing to do in that case but harumph a little, cross my arms, and say, "yeah, yeah... thanks." In my experience, Deneb Algedi is there to dole out tough love, to add some levity to hard things and weighty experiences, but never without a reminder of my own agency and what I owe the situation. It absolutely makes sense as magic for taking responsibility, and hell, I've needed that, so I'm grateful. Like a good amount of the materia I have, I *really* wish I'd known about this stuff years ago.

Was drawn to it for boundary work as a very porous 12th Houser but I don't totally know if that's what this wants from me— yet? In any case, I appreciate its protection and guidance, and I think this is a great starting point for anyone curious about the DA series. It's super versatile, dissolves fast in any liquid, and you can use it in tons of stuff. Stole pointers from other reviews but I throw it in laundry loads, mix it with my bath products, use it for cleaning. (If my earlier details didn't convince you, PUT IT IN YOUR CAR.) Plenty you can do with it and it really does last and last.

I love ritual salts. I use it in a water dish under my bed, I put it in a spray bottle to spray to keep my energetic boundaries from being crossed. I sprinkle it in my room for safety and boundary keeping. And I put it in my shoes in a pinch, even though it’s not powder, just a pinch does the trick.

I love everything about these salts - the color is so striking, and they smell amazing and feel so great in my fingers. I've used these for protection around my house and in my car, and I often will sleep with a small bowl of water and these salts to ward off nighttime anxiety and nightmares. My overall sense of well-being and safety has increased so much since working with these salts.

I don't know why I slept on these for so long, but when I finally pulled the trigger they came to me quite magically. Literally was meant to be in my life. I have a bunch of other DA materia and sky grandpa has long been a part of my life in all. the. ways. For which I am forever and ever grateful for his protection and guidance. But these salts are just next level delicious and so versatile too. Not just for ritual but for the mundane. I've added some to my witches salt and with some brick dust as wardings and it's worked a treat.

This ritual salt has a lot of potential uses - mixed with water and placed at the bedside or sprinkled around the room it makes the space feel lighter and cleaner; put into little bottles and buried at the corners of my home it makes a really good protective barrier. I find it so effective I got some for my witchy friends who aren’t into astromagic at all but who appreciate good magic.
