Hello dear readers. Recently, more and more interest is shown in all kinds of miraculous means. One of them is black quaternary salt. This is not some magical novelty or an invention of modern pseudo-psychics and false sorcerers, but a tool used by our ancestors since ancient times. According to old beliefs, salt prepared in a special way and on a specific day has powerful cleansing properties. It was used as food and as a healing potion, as well as to eliminate troubles and as a protective amulet. So, Thursday salt - what is it and how to use it .
Thursday salt got its name due to the fact that it can be prepared only once a year - on Maundy Thursday, before the Easter celebration. To obtain it, it was necessary to fry ordinary salt in the oven, as a result of which it will take on a black color. Hence came the second name - black salt.
It turns black because the additional organic ingredients in its composition are charred under the influence of high temperature. But in some cases, it is not possible to achieve black color - the salt has a gray tint.
There is evidence that in some cases, to give the salt crystals miraculous power, it was enough to take them out of the hut under the open sky on Thursday night during Holy Week.
Salt, left on the table at the same time next to a loaf of bread, allegedly acquired similar properties. Or it became special due to storage near the home iconostasis throughout the entire Bright Week.
However, most recipes involve the cleansing power of fire. According to some reports, the Annunciation salt was distinguished by the same characteristics - a product obtained by the same calcination, but on the night before the celebration of the Annunciation.
Finished salt has a special flavor. And if aromatic additives were used, then a pleasant subtle aroma. Also, the peculiarities of Thursday salt include its less salty taste and the fact that it does not actually dampen.
And black salt retains its mystical characteristics for a whole year.
For use as food, it must be crushed. At the same time, the use of electrical appliances is not recommended - the taste of the product deteriorates significantly. So you have to act the old fashioned way, using a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, use a manual coffee grinder.
There are several known ways of preparing this healing and magical remedy. Each of them involves heat treatment of the salt crystals. In some cases, various additives are added to the composition.
Once our ancestors used a stove to get Thursday salt. But this does not mean that in modern conditions there is no way to get this useful product. The stove may well replace the stove or oven.
For cooking, you need coarse-grained table salt. Do not use sea salt, iodized salt, or fine refined and bleached extra salt. If you plan to actively use the resulting product, then prepare a kilogram stock.
You will also need a good pan with a thick bottom, without a non-stick coating, a large baking sheet or a thick-walled cauldron.
You can use the salt itself, as well as various additives.
- Rye flour;
- bread pre-soaked in water;
- swollen bran or oatmeal;
- aromatic herbs and spices (bay leaves, mint, basil, cumin, oregano, coriander, dill, etc.);
- the thick remaining after the preparation of malt kvass;
- cabbage leaves.
Salt was once wrapped in a linen rag, poured into an unusable wicker bast shoe or an earthen pot with a lid. After that, it was left in the oven for several hours.
Sometimes they built a rag roll or wrapped the salt in cabbage leaves and put it on hot coals or dipped them into their thickness.
There is a mention of the use of special logs for making black salt. They were harvested throughout Great Lent. Each Sunday, one log was set aside for this purpose.
Sometimes they were even put into the oven in a special way and started to fry. We did it all on Thursday night or Maundy Thursday morning. The main thing was to have time to complete the entire process before the onset of Good Friday, otherwise the salt would lose its magical qualities.
To prepare black salt, it was necessary to tune in to a special mood. All bad thoughts had to be driven away, everything should be done with faith in the soul and pure intentions. In addition, it is advisable to read prayers throughout the procedure.
But, as some believe, it is enough to read first the prayer “Before the beginning of every business”, and then, when the remedy is ready, Our Father or a special prayer for salt, which can be found in the Orthodox prayer book.
Better to close the kitchen door and open the window. To eliminate odors and smoke, you need to turn on the hood.
By the way, there is such a sign that if dry salt crackles loudly when calcined in a frying pan, it means that there is spoilage on the person preparing Thursday salt.
The finished product must be poured into a dense rag bag sewn from natural fabric. They keep it hidden from prying eyes. If during the cooking process it has melted into a solid conglomerate or large lumps, it must be crushed.
Let the salt cool and grind, preferably by hand. Then sift using a sieve or colander. Use fine salt for food, and large salt for making amulets and for medicinal purposes.
To enhance the properties, salt is taken with them to church on the bright holiday of Easter. The consecrated remedy, having passed the next stage of purification in the temple, acquires additional strength.
As already mentioned, quaternary salt has special properties, which is why it is used in various cases.
The effect of black salt can be enhanced by various conspiracies that are read over it. In this case, the range of application of the product becomes literally unlimited.
There are also a number of caveats regarding black salt. The product should not be ingested uncontrollably.
Particular care should be taken in the presence of heart disease, hypertension, gout, acute gastrointestinal tract lesions, renal failure, articular diseases. The same applies to people who are overweight, as well as people prone to edema.
Given the magical properties of this remedy, one should be wary of using it by unkind people for their own selfish purposes. So if under the threshold you notice a scattering of black salt, gently sweep it away, read the Our Father or another prayer and sprinkle the place with sugar. Take the collected salt out of the house immediately. It is advisable to bury it in a vacant lot.
Black salt is very often used to protect yourself, your family, home and household. It will help get rid of the evil eye and damage. To do this, you need to make a body amulet. Everything is simple here.
A little Thursday salt is sewn into an amulet, a cloth bag, or simply tied in a small knot. In this case, you can read any prayer or special security conspiracy. You can hang the amulet on one string (chain) with a cross.
In order to attract prosperity to the house, you need to store salt on the table in a salt shaker. She will pull all the negative onto herself, allowing the positive to open up better and faster.
You cannot eat such salt. It is also recommended to remove it further when guests or outsiders appear in the house.
Another way to lure money is as follows. When you are about to prepare your Thursday salt, ask for salt in three different homes that show the indicators of happiness and contentment that you would like to see in your life.
But just do it without envy and bad thoughts, otherwise you can inadvertently lure luck from someone else's home into your own.
And this will already be a bad deed, for which you will have to pay. And the price may turn out to be disproportionately high. Salt obtained from prosperous homes is mixed with the purchased salt until the required amount is obtained. Then everything goes according to the above scheme.
Knowing what quaternary salt is and how to use it, you can achieve various desired effects. So, for healing from any ailments, it is recommended to mix salt in the patient's drink or food twice a day in a small amount. At the same time, a prayer is usually recited.
You can use our Father, resort to the help of special prayers for the sick, or apply a self-composed prayer set forth in a free form and containing a specific request.
In the same way, you can help a person with various addictions - alcoholic, nicotine, narcotic, medication.
Conspiracies are especially powerful. You can talk about both the salt itself and the dishes seasoned with it. To enhance the effect, you can read the same conspiracy over a photograph or personal item of the patient (drunkard, etc.), which he regularly uses.
You need to repeat the procedure many times, sometimes daily. You can wait until the drinker falls asleep and sprinkle black salt on his feet and head, repeating the necessary words.
For marital happiness and harmony in the family, it is recommended to put a bundle of Thursday salt under the pillow of each family member. For the same purpose, you can use this move.
Before preparing Thursday salt, let the whole family get together and each throw a handful of the original salt into the cauldron. Next, you need to adhere to the chosen option for preparing black salt.

Ecology of life: According to Orthodox tradition, on Great, or Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, the so-called Thursday, or black salt is harvested
According to Orthodox tradition, on Great, or Clean Thursday of Holy Week, the so-called Thursday, or black salt is harvested. The Kostroma region is the only one where its recipe has been preserved unchanged since antiquity.
There are many traditions - what can and should be done on the last before Easter, the so-called Holy Week. For example, on Monday you need to finish all housework, on Tuesday to wash, iron and repair clothes, on Wednesday they take out garbage from the house, and on Maundy Thursday, it is also called Clean, you need to swim before sunrise (it is believed that water in the early morning has healing power). On the same day, they begin to cook Easter, Easter cakes and paint eggs.
In the old days in Russia, on Great Thursday, the so-called black, or Thursday, salt was also prepared. On the night from Wednesday to Thursday or early in the morning, ordinary rock salt, mixed with leavened ground or rye flour, cabbage leaves and spices, was wrapped in a canvas cloth, all this was placed in a bast shoe and put in the oven. The salt heated up and turned black. Then it was consecrated along with Easter cakes. It was customary to eat Easter eggs only with this kind of salt.
It was believed that the recipes for making black salt were lost. However, in the Kostroma wilderness, there were those who knew the technology well. The recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Now salt is prepared on an industrial scale, sold throughout Russia and is called “Black Salt. An old Russian product from Kostroma ”.
There are some nuances. For example, you need to use exclusively birch firewood. And special ovens are needed. And even the method of stirring after firing matters. And it is also imperative to observe the proportions of herbs - mint and oregano. We make salt on the basis of rye flour. It is an environmentally friendly product rich in trace elements.
Together with the color, salt radically changes its properties. Analyzes of black salt have shown that it contains 94% sodium chloride, and the rest is ash from bread. This ash enriches salt with such elements as iodine, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc and others, which in small quantities are very useful for the body. And the chlorine level, for which salt is scolded by doctors, is decreasing. So from the "white death" salt turns into a black medicine.
Black salt relieves the burden on the liver and the digestive system by the fact that it contains ten times less ferrous metals, leading to impaired functions of the kidneys, liver and digestive tract.
This salt does not increase blood sodium levels and is therefore recommended for people with high blood pressure. It does not retain water in the body. Carbon in the form of fine-pored coal is an absorbent and therefore removes toxins from the body. In medicine, black salt helps to relieve constipation, eliminate gas and increase appetite. Also helps relieve burning sensation in the chest, has a beneficial effect on eyesight and has anti-aging properties.
A mixture of two parts of natural honey and one part of black salt is a wonderful remedy for periodontal disease and bleeding gums. In the morning, my husband and I massage the gums with this mixture before brushing our teeth. I also add black salt to face and neck masks.
A mixture of a tablespoon of thick sour cream and half a teaspoon of salt gives the skin velvety and elasticity. And if you mix 1 yolk, 1 tbsp. l. honey, 2 tbsp. l. flour and 1/2 tsp. black salt, you get a mask with a lifting effect that smoothes and tightens the skin.
