Organic Black Walnut Shell Powder has been used for over 300 years in Eastern European Witchcraft. This multi-purpose powder is used for a variety of applications and is typically utilized by boiling with water and sea salt. Traditionally, it is boiled in a cauldron with spring water to be used as a banishing bathing rinse to eliminate energetic attachments, end bad luck, and heal a broken heart.
100% pure & organic Black Walnut Shell Powder. (No fillers!)
Due to global supply disruptions, glass jar style and color may vary.
Approximately 6 teaspoons of pure Black Walnut Shell Powder, suitable for 3 Black Water Banishment Rituals. Instructions below.
Black Walnut Water Banishing Ritual Adding 2 teaspoons of the Organic Black Walnut Shell Powder to 1 gallon of water.
Bring to a boil, then allow to simmer until the water has been reduced by half.
Optional: If needing to cleanse away energetic attachments, add 1 teaspoon Agrimony Powder and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Store in airtight bottles, such as glass beer growlers, for up to 6 months. Many Witches always keep a few bottles of this on hand.
On the night of a Waning or Dark Moon, draw a hot bath and pour 1-2 cups of the Black Walnut Water into the hot bath. Dissolve 1 cup of sea salt in the bath. Before getting in, exclaim precisely what you are banishing, such as:
"I now banish and remove all energetic attachments. All energies and entities that have been causing XYZ are no longer welcome and are now banished from my body and my spirit."
or
"I now release and wash away all emotions of sorrow and heartbreak. {Name of person} is now washed away from my heart."
Get into the water and completely submerge your body and head 9 times. Do not dwell in this water, it is not meant to be a luxurious bath. The residual bathwater now contains energetic attachments.
If you only have a shower (or prefer the shower), simply fill a bucket with 1 cup of the Black Walnut Water and 1/4 cup of sea salt. Bring the bucket and a smaller container with you into the shower. Using the smaller vessel, pour the Black Walnut Water over your head and body a total of 9 times.
If possible, do not rinse your body until the following morning.
Packaging may vary.
Old World Moon Phases
The Moon is of key importance for the Old World Witch. The Moon and its cycle (increase and decrease) impact the potency of rituals and their successes. The Moon amplifies rituals and works in harmony with the energies exerted by the Witch.
As Old World Witches, we utilize elemental forces for magick and mystical significance of the natural world and its fauna and flora: Esoteric knowledge. Lore of healing. Energetic resonance of herbs and roots. And, of course, the Moon.
The Old World Witch does not follow the exact terminology and specifications of modern astrologers and astronomers. We maintain the visual interpretation and energies of the Moon, as explained below.
When the Moon cannot be seen and is in the dark phase, it is referred to as the Dark Moon in Old World Witchcraft. Modern astronomers and astrologers call this darkness the New Moon because the cycle of the Moon is about to restart.
Old World Witches are not the only ones who follow this Dark Moon terminology. Several ancient cultures (such as Islam) define this period as the end of the month and the very first crescent of the Moon (Witch's New Moon) as the beginning of the month.
The Witch's Dark Moon is a night of stillness, contemplation, and banishment. The only types of rituals that should be done on the Dark Moon are banishment work or curses/hexes. The Dark Moon is also ideal for all kinds of divination and working with the departed.
The Moon is energetically at its lowest point and is more conducive to the mentioned rituals.
Witch's New Moon (first crescent)
The New Moon of the Old World Witch is called the Witch's New Moon. It is when the very first crescent or sliver of the Moon is visible. This is typically 2-3 nights after the Dark Moon.
With some variations, the Witch's New Moon rises in the daytime before noon and becomes visible in the day sky. It will be most visible at sunset and usually sets well before midnight. The Witch's New Moon is the same percentage all over the world - both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. However, the tips of the Witch's New Moon point depend on the time, date, and location on Earth.
The Witch's New Moon is the ideal time to begin rituals that draw a life experience, physical possession, or situation to you. This can be for love, money, health, or personal development.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. Starting rituals three nights after the Dark Moon will give you exactly 12 days of rituals leading up to the Full Moon.
The Witch's New Moon is also the ideal time to begin a new venture, get married, apply for a job, or embark on a journey.
The same energetic attributes apply throughout the Waxing Moon, all the way up to the Full Moon.
Full Moon
The Full Moon is not only the most magickally potent and powerful time of the month, but it is also the most physically stimulating. As the Moon affects the ocean tides, so too does it affect our bodies. If you pay close attention to your body, you may have noticed that you may feel extra swollen or puffy on the mornings leading up to the full Moon and a couple of days thereafter. These are the days of maxi dresses, undereye concealer, and perhaps an inclination to wear fewer rings on your fingers.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. If you have been performing rituals leading up to the Full Moon, consider the night of the Full Moon the climax of your ritual.
The Full Moon signifies the cultivation of goals, the peak of a cycle, and emotional fulfillment. The Full Moon is best used to draw something into your life, such as love, financial prosperity, or self-development.
If, however, you are choosing not to perform any magick on the night of the Full Moon, simply sitting under the moon rays and energetically absorbing the magnetism will reawaken and revitalize your spirit.
Waning Moon
As the Moon wanes, the energy becomes particularly useful for ending various relationships, habits and overcoming hurdles.
Whether you're having a difficult time leaving an unsuitable relationship or are trying to eliminate negative self-talk, the Waning Moon is perfectly capable and willing to help phase out what is no longer needed or wanted.
In addition to removing negative influences from your life, this is also an appropriate time to cast revenge spells (curses).
The Waning Moon reminds us of things yet to be done and that time is slipping away. Anxiety is usually heightened during this time; therefore, self-care is critical.
