🥚How to Make & Use Egg Shell Powder🥚 (Patreon)

Let’s talk about making and using egg shell powder in witchcraft! Have you used this before in your practice? Learn more below from Urban Witchcraft!

How to make egg shell powder:

- Wash out all of the egg shells (some people prefer to boil them but I didn’t do that because I heard that it’s a little harder to do! But do what works best for you!)

- Peel off all of the thin membranes (Make sure you get all of them! This is the first time I’ve made this powder and I noticed that I missed some parts of the egg shells. This makes it harder to grind into a fine powder and it can cause mold when stored and a funny smell.)

- Dry out all of the egg shells completely

- Use a mortar and pestle to grind into a powder

Uses for egg shell powder:

- Casting circles

- Extra nutrients for your green babies

- Protection and healing spells (use as a replacement for salt)

“Whenever I use eggs, I keep the eggshells and rinse them clean in water. After they dry, I grind them up into a fine powder/dust with my mortar and pestle. I keep the powder in a small mason jar with a charged sigil drawn on the lid for plant growth and protection. When I feel that my plant babes need it, I sprinkle the powder around them in a circle and over top of them. Sometimes I’ll say or think the words “growth and protection” to make my intent clear. The eggshell on the plant’s leaves and in the soil will deter insects that like to chew on your lil babes and provide a calcium boost. Depending on what type of spell you want to perform, you can also mix other organic materials (that are beneficial to your plants) in with the eggshell powder.” (Urbanspellcraft.tumblr.com)

So egg shells are naturally protective. If you wash them and clean them, then grind them into a powder, you can actually use them as an alternative to salt for casting circles outside since egg shells are actually GOOD for the soil and plants as opposed to salt which will kill everything. Since those egg shells are good for the soil and plants and give plants nutrients, they are a great addition to soil for added nutrients. They are loaded with calcium, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus which are all fantastic for your plants! SO because of this, I would definitely recommend subbing egg shells for salt if you absolutely HAVE to bury a spell. Just make sure all the rest of the ingredients INCLUDING the vessel or what you are burying it in are safe to go into the ground as well.

Speaking of plants… you can also add herbs to your eggshell powder to make a magical powder with specific intent as well. You can also make that eggshell powder (or magical powder) into a chalk-like stick and use it to write sigils around your property or home or whatever else (as long as you aren’t vandalizing things… don’t do that).

Eggshells are also really good in healing spells as well, or spells where something requires nurturing. You can also use them as a representation of a womb if you need that for something. I also correspond eggshells to fertility to a certain extent. You can also use them very effectively in cleansing and purification rituals, on top of already being protective. They really really handy!

Now if you are into curses, you can use egg shells in baneful magic. Rather than using the powder, you could use broken, jagged egg shells in a curse jar because if you’ve ever poked yourself with one of those, it can hurt Alternatively, you can also take the phrase “walking on eggshells” to heart and make a curse so that your target is always feeling that annoying feeling of walking on eggshells. Definitely not promoting the use of egg shells for curses, however some people may have questions about it so that’s why it’s included in this post.
