Cooking recipe: how to make black Thursday salt at home

The real recipes for making Thursday salt are mostly forgotten. This is due to changes in the rhythm of life, living conditions, and the inability to use a traditional Russian stove.

The requirements for storing salt on the eve of Maundy Thursday are often ignored. Basically, this is done as needed. This approach has a disadvantage - the powerful energy charge of the finished product is lost.

Important! Only the use of live fire in the preparation of salt will help create exactly what is called Thursday salt. An electric stove is not suitable.

An excellent option is to harvest this product outside. For example, on a grill, put 7 birch logs in it, covered with cabbage leaves, and put a frying pan with salt on top.

Attention! To prevent the dishes from spoiling, they should be wrapped in foil before use.

Traditionally, salt is taken from three houses. These three houses should be the homes of successful, prosperous people.

An important condition is that the owners must have the qualities that the person preparing the salt wants to receive.

Classic method: nuances of preparation

To prepare you will need the following:

1. 1 pack of regular salt (Extra, sea and iodized salt are not suitable);
2. 12 tbsp. l. rye flour for every kilogram of the main ingredient;
3. The frying pan should preferably be cast iron (Teflon may simply deteriorate during cooking);
4. wooden spoon or spatula for stirring;
5. cotton storage bag;
6. flour sieve (needed for sifting the finished product).

If salt is taken from three houses, it is added to the main one. When cooking, you can add herbs, but such salt will have a characteristic taste and aroma.

On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, from 12 am to 3 am, is the ideal time to prepare Thursday salt.

It is at this hour that there is the maximum concentration of energy impulse in space, which will help charge the salt to the maximum. If this is not possible, then this should be done as early as possible, preferably in the morning and only on Maundy Thursday before Easter.

Prepared salt, purchased on Wednesday, the eve of Maundy Thursday, is poured onto a hot frying pan specifically for this purpose. Purchased in advance, from an open pack is not suitable. Add 12 tablespoons of rye flour to it, mix, and then say:

“Maundy Thursday, come, drive away the reptiles, take away the worms, drive away the devils, and save me from troubles.”

Repeat three times, then stir the salt, periodically reading the spell. Stir and fry in a frying pan until it turns black.

The cooled salt is sifted. What remains in the sieve should be placed in a prepared cotton bag and hidden away from prying eyes. It can also be stored in a wooden bowl.

Important! During frying, the flour smokes very much, so you need to close the doors tightly in advance to prevent smoke from entering the rooms, open the window and turn on the hood above the stove.

With herbs

Thanks to the herbs, the product ultimately has a pleasant aroma and additional magical and healing properties inherent in these herbs. You can choose them at your discretion.

It can be mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano and any others. You can take one or several at once. The herbs are crushed and, before frying, added to salt along with flour. Then everything is done according to the basic instructions.

With bread and kvass grounds

Kvass grounds or rye bread soaked in water are mixed with coarse salt and evaporated in an oven or oven at high temperature until blackened. Then cool, grind and sift through a sieve.

With cabbage leaves

The largest outer leaves are removed from a head of cabbage and chopped with a knife. They are mixed with salt and burned until black. Next they sift.

There are legends about the miraculous properties of Thursday salt. It has healing properties and is used to solve different problems and is very easy to prepare.

There are many recipes for its preparation. This can be done on any Thursday, but the product receives its maximum energy charge when it is prepared on the day it follows. Holy holiday Passover.

IN last years Often, especially in the pre-Easter period, you hear and read about the so-called “Thursday salt.” You can easily find existing recipes for its preparation on the Internet. It is said that this salt must be prepared once a year - on Maundy Thursday (popularly called Maundy Thursday).

It must be noted that Most of the materials dedicated to “Thursday salt” are located on occult Internet sites and forums, where it is reported, for example, that this salt cleanses the body, treats diseases, and has “ magical power", protects against the evil eye and "helps" in the fight against enemies. The reader is offered various ways use of "Thursday salt" in magical rituals . Sometimes it is recommended to consecrate “Thursday salt” in church along with Easter cakes and eggs before such use.

It's no secret, of course, that “sorcerers” and “psychics” use church relics in their practice: icons, holy water... And since the preparation of “Thursday salt” is often mentioned in the same breath as Easter cakes, colored eggs and Easter, the question may arise: isn’t “Thursday salt” one of the truly church traditions, only forgotten during the years of Soviet power?

We are forced to answer this question in the negative. The fact is that the belief in the miraculous power of “Thursday salt” is one of the many pagan superstitions that arose in ancient times.

In the folk beliefs of the Slavs, salt is a symbol used mainly as a talisman. Salt, according to popular ideas, can protect against hostile forces and influences. The “Thursday salt” prepared on Maundy Thursday was endowed with special powers. This is no coincidence: Maundy Thursday in folk life was associated with the performance of many different rituals designed to ensure well-being in the family and household for the entire coming year. Among the Eastern Slavs, Holy Thursday was almost universally called Clean Thursday. The cleansing rites of Maundy Thursday concerned not only the person himself, but also his immediate environment, primarily his home and utensils. At dawn on this day or on the eve of it, the housewives washed and scrubbed the floors, walls, ceilings, tables and benches, cleaned the icon lamps, steamed milk dishes, shook the straw from the beds, etc.

In addition, superstitious veneration of the “passionate” or “Thursday” candle, bread, and salt was widespread among the people; healing powers were attributed to them.

“Thursday” salt was stored throughout the year. It was used against the “evil eye” and as a universal remedy for the treatment of a variety of diseases (both in humans and in domestic animals). The peasants took it internally, rubbed it with its solution, and gave sick cattle bread salted with it or diluted a pinch in a drinking bowl. As a talisman, “Thursday” salt was sewn into an amulet and worn on the chest.

Needless to say, the above folk customs from the point of view of Christian doctrine are superstitions, often blasphemous? The surviving pagan beliefs in many cases did not change their essence, although they were associated in the minds of the people with church holidays, events and persons of Sacred history. Yes and the preparation of “Thursday salt” has nothing to do with the real traditions of Orthodoxy.

Let's now talk about church practice itself. In the Trebnik there is a prayer for the consecration of salt - “Prayer over salt.” Prayer over salt is one of the oldest... In the spiritual sense, salt means the saving teaching of Christ and the holy life of His preachers (Matthew 5:13). The New Testament Church uses salt for the bread offered as a bloodless sacrifice and blessed at all-night vigils. The Church also blesses salt as an essential food product. But in the liturgical books there is no indication of the need to consecrate salt on any specific day of the year. In S. V. Bulgakov’s “Handbook for Clergy,” we also will not find instructions for the consecration of salt either on Maundy Thursday or on Easter.

So, the popular belief in the healing power of “Thursday salt” goes back to pre-Christian mythological ideas and is in no way connected with the church “prayer over salt”. But remnants of paganism existed among the people. The clergy also could not help but experience the influence of the people (especially since in terms of the level of theological education they were often almost no different from them). There are cases in the history of the Church when the clergy accepted the pagan beliefs of parishioners. Thus, at the beginning of the 4th century, the Council of Elvira (in Spain) with its 34th rule prohibited lighting candles in a cemetery during the day - “so as not to disturb the souls of the saints.” In the Greek Church at one time there was a rite of cursing a criminal with psalms (Psalmokatara) ... Sometimes even the clergy is able to follow the lead of the beliefs of parishioners, thereby overstepping the Gospel and patristic commandments. Let us make a reservation, however, that such cases are very rare, since The Church has always strongly resisted attempts to “sanctify” superstitions with its authority.

In relation to “Thursday salt”, such attempts have already happened. In the 16th century, numerous superstitions prevailed everywhere, not only among the common people, but also among the upper classes and the princely family. This is evidenced by the Council of the Hundred Heads that took place during the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1551): “ On Maundy Thursday they burn straw and call out the dead; some neveglas [ignorant] priests put salt under the throne on Maundy Thursday and keep it there until the Seventh Thursday after Velitsa [Easter] and give that salt for healing people and livestock».

In those times ethnoscience everything consisted of conspiracies and magical means. National and private disasters, failures, family discord, etc. were constantly attributed to witchcraft, and witchcraft was the means to eliminate them. The spirit of magic penetrated into the very Christianity of the people. Conspiracies received a Christian form, replacing in their appeals the names of mythical forces with the names of saints; on the other hand, some christian prayers turned into conspiracies through the communication of magical power to them in the popular consciousness, lists of them were worn around the neck, kept in homes as talismans, and used in witchcraft. Magicians used even sacred objects for their own purposes, for example, they cast mallow cups over prosphora,... priests... placed a child’s afterbirth on the altar for 6 weeks in the church. Various fortune-telling notebooks were passed around - Rafli, Aristotle's Gate, Six-winged. Since the 16th century, astrological superstitions and fortune-telling have come to us from the West, placed in Ostronumey, Zodey, Almanacs...

But still Stoglavy Cathedral (1551) under these conditions, he showed enough Christian wisdom to reject a number of attempts to penetrate superstitions into the church environment, and among them was the indicated unique method of obtaining church “sanction” for “Thursday salt”. The resolution of the Council on this matter read: “The commandment is that on Holy Thursday they should not burn straw or call the dead, and priests should not put salt under the altar on Maundy Thursday, and they should not keep the days until the Seventh Thursday in Velitsa, because such is the charm of Hellenism and blasphemy heretical. And whoever does such a priest will be subject to excommunication and final eruption according to the sacred rule.”

Oddly enough, “Thursday salt” is becoming popular again these days. At the same time, people who are convinced of its miraculous power again seek to win over the Church. This causes understandable bewilderment among parishioners: “In our city there is a convent next to the church. And so on Thursday, in the last week of Lent, during the service, the nun brought salt in a plastic bag, the priest came up and read prayers. The parishioners standing nearby also took a handful of this salt from the bag, for which the abbess scolded the nun. And when the next year my sister and I came on the same day (Thursday of the last week of Lent) with the hope of also consecrating salt, nothing like that happened. I asked one of the nuns about this, she replied that this was the first time she had heard about the consecration of salt, that she had never seen or heard anything like this.

So what is Thursday salt, why is it done?” asks a participant in one of the Orthodox Internet forums.

The priest rightly remarks in response: “I don’t know who elevated this salt to the rank of a special shrine (in the missal there is a prayer over salt, but this is not the consecration of the Holy Thursday salt, but simply a prayer, similar to the prayer for the blessing of livestock, sowing and vegetables). Now this custom is becoming popular in some parishes and monasteries, but this is nothing more than an unauthorized innovation. You can approach this in different ways - you can read a prayer over salt, you can bring it on a certain day for consecration - too. However, it is strange to attribute to her any special healing power or grace. The use of this salt is limited to cooking only, so it is nothing more than blessed salt from the temple. The healing properties attributed to it remain on the conscience of the distributors of these stories. According to faith, of course, there can be healing from salt, but we have holy water, other shrines... And, finally, Holy Communion!”

Thus, “Thursday salt” is a pagan superstition. Its preparation and use are magical manipulations that contradict church teaching. Orthodox Christians should remember the words of the Apostle Paul, who warned against following empty deception, according to human tradition, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ (see: Col. 2:8).

Hello dear readers. IN Lately There is an increasing interest in all kinds of miraculous remedies. One of them is black Thursday salt. This is not some kind of magical novelty or invention of modern pseudo-psychics and false sorcerers, but a means used by our ancestors since ancient times.

Thursday salt got its name due to the fact that it can only be prepared once a year - on Maundy Thursday, before the Easter festival. To obtain it, it was necessary to fry ordinary salt in an oven, as a result of which it would take on a black color. This is where the second name comes from – 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, black color cannot be achieved - the salt has a gray tint.

Salt allegedly acquired similar properties when left on the table during the same period of time next to a loaf of bread. Or it became special due to being kept near the home iconostasis throughout Bright Week.

However, most recipes involve exposure to the cleansing power of fire. According to some sources, Annunciation salt had the same characteristics - a product obtained by the same calcination, but on the night before the celebration of the Annunciation.

Ready salt has a special taste. And if aromatic additives were used, then a pleasant subtle aroma. Also, the features of Thursday salt include its less salty taste and the fact that it actually does not dampen.

1. Prayers that should be read while preparing black salt further purify the product and recharge it with special energy.

1. It is not for nothing that the process of making the product falls on Maundy Thursday. On this day, everything undergoes a special cleaning. What matters here are the vibrations of the day themselves and the collective radiations sent to everyone Orthodox world on Maundy Thursday.

Sometimes they made a rag bundle or wrapped the salt in cabbage leaves and placed it on hot coals or immersed them in their thickness.

There is a mention of using special logs to prepare black salt. They were prepared throughout Lent. Every Sunday, one log was set aside for these purposes.

Sometimes they were even placed in the oven in a special way and began to fry. They did all this on Thursday night or on the morning of Maundy Thursday. 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.

During the service, the “Our Father” is read three times. The remaining candle acquires special properties, capable of both strengthening any prayer and facilitating the preparation of salt at home. This salt has long been on par with Easter eggs applied for festive table on Easter.

Many Slavic traditions are associated with salt. Greeting guests with bread and salt, spilling it means a quarrel. It dissolves in food and gives food taste, as if filling it with meaning, essence. Quite often you can hear the expression “not salt”, that is, it doesn’t matter. It originated in paganism and was preserved in Christianity. In Orthodoxy, Thursday salt has magical properties. The annual cleansing rite represents one of the main Christian liturgies. After church sacrament this mineral was stored throughout the year. It was believed that it was capable of healing and was a universal remedy for the “evil eye.” Prayer over illuminated salt has special power and was used on extremely important occasions.

Cooking methods

The question arises: “where can I get it?” You can buy it, but there are no guarantees of quality. In general, in order not to make a mistake, it is best to cook it yourself. How to prepare Thursday salt? In fact, it’s not difficult at all, but on a certain day. As a rule, Black Salt is prepared on the last Thursday of Lent. One way is to mix rock salt with leaven grounds or soaked rye bread. This mixture is stirred and heated in the oven until the bread turns black. Afterwards, it should be crushed and sifted through a sieve. The resulting grains are quite capable of replacing ordinary table salt. You can make this ingredient in the same way using green cabbage leaves from the head or mint instead of leaven grounds. Or mix it with flour and stir clockwise with a wooden spoon. In an old recipe we're talking about about cast iron cookware, which is not popular these days. It seems that the use of cast iron is due to its density, so any metal utensils, with the exception of aluminum, will probably do. It is believed that salt taken to a church service in the city acquires the necessary properties. There is an alternative method, using a conspiracy, but still connected with the same special day. In the morning you should pour in left palm salt, cover it with your right hand and, making circular movements with your hands, speak it, turning to Saint Nicholas for help.

What is Thursday salt used for?

The main sacrament associated with Thursday in Holy Week is the sacrament of cleansing from sins. The church devotes attention to these rituals Special attention, since during one of them, at the Last Vespers, Jesus predicted the imminent betrayal of Judas. Why is Thursday salt needed on such a day? All for the same thing, cleansing the soul, home, body and much more. Using it can work wonders. It is believed that a bag of this remedy under the spouses’ pillow will save them from disagreements and quarrels for a long time. Salt thrown into the fire can bring back a person who has been away for a long time. Adding to water will help with treatment. Bags of this medicine in every corner will relieve existing and future misfortunes. Children should also be bathed with a mineral that promotes their health, intelligence and growth. Black salt is often taken with people for good luck. There is also a sign to throw it in the direction where the ill-wisher went. It is worth noting that it may lose its properties. Its contact with dust, spoiled food, corrosion, and, in general, various dirt should be avoided. The benefits of the Thursday mineral are obvious. Among other things, it contains a lot of calcium, carbon, magnesium, and other trace elements necessary for the health of the human body. These microelements are able to remove toxins and retain water, thereby improving the functioning of the kidneys, cardiovascular system, and sensory organs.

Be that as it may, for many centuries people have believed in the miraculous properties of Thursday salt; it has always personified something bright and pure. Who knows, maybe she can make our days a little better?

As many people know, Thursday is “Men’s” day and its patron is Perun, the Lord of Heavenly Fire and the patron of warriors.

Previously, not all food was salted, but only special ones. The one that was presented to the ancient gods and used in ritual meals. And this salt was not used just like that, it was prepared in a certain way to reveal its magical properties. This is what the Book of the Hidden Tree of Life says about such salt:

“You need to take salt, the whitest one, so that it glows like silver in the light, crush it in a wooden mortar. Do this when the moon is old. Keep it in the house all day, close to the hearth. And then wait for the Clean Day and take it to the priest. After the ritual, bring Salt back to your home. That salt will become the Salt of All Salts; it is protection from any evil.

If there is a sick person in the house, give him that Salt and water to drink.
If there is trouble in the house, pour it into every corner.
If there is a quarrel between spouses, put a bag of Salt under the pillow.
If someone leaves and does not return, throw a handful of Salt into the fire.
So that children grow up healthy, kind, beautiful and intelligent - throw a small pinch into the bathing water.
To ensure prosperity in the house, pour it into a wooden salt shaker and place it in the middle of the table. If an ill-wisher comes to the house, serve him food flavored with that Salt.
And if there is an enemy, then after he leaves, sprinkle all traces of him with Salt.
To ensure harmony in the house, throw a pinch under each bed, right under the headboard.”

How to prepare Thursday Salt today

Such salt must be purchased by a man, on Thursday, without change and brought into the house - without talking on the way - standard rules for purchasing most preparations for items of Power.

To make it, you will need a pack of the most common rock table salt of the coarsest grind and 12 tablespoons of rye flour. You will also need a cast iron frying pan with a thick bottom, a wooden spoon and a clean linen bag.
Salt and flour should be poured into a frying pan and put it on fire. When you do this, be sure to say out loud (three times):

"Perunov Thursday, save from worms and from every reptile and have mercy for a long time."

Then you must bake the salt together with the flour until the flour is completely blackened. In this case, you need to mix the flour with salt with a wooden spoon in a clockwise direction.
The prepared salt should be left on the stove until midnight, and then just poured into a bag, which should be tied tightly.

Why is the frying pan cast iron? Because energy will not flow through cast iron, it has this property. So if you don’t have a cast-iron frying pan at home, take one made of any metal, but with a thick bottom and high walls. Just don't take aluminum cookware. Aluminum is a good conductor, which means everything flows through it easily and quickly. And the power of Thursday Salt in such a vessel will not linger, it will flow away.
Instead of a linen bag, you can take any kitchen towel, only new, unused. And a wooden spoon... or break off a twig from a young Christmas tree, peel off the bark and stir it with this fragrant stick.

How to make Thursday Salt enter the Force

The most important thing for any Object of Power is to make sure that it, this Thing, reveals that same Power in itself:

Not every seed becomes a tree, and not every stream can lead to an ocean. It is necessary for the force living in them to come out, to reveal itself completely, and then they will become what they should be. This is what happens with things, there is great power in them, but that’s only half the story. We need to help this force unfold, to express itself fully. And then a seemingly ordinary thing will turn into a powerful one. And each of the Things requires a special approach.

In order for the Thursday Salt to truly “settle” in the house, its power must be revealed, and then, even if it is simply stored in the house, it will already “work” in a certain way, helping the people living in that house. But Thursday Salt, like other Objects of Power, should be handled with respect.
After the Salt is made, literally immediately the next morning, you need to get up at dawn, while the sun is still rising, go to the front door with a bag of Thursday Salt (I remind you that the bag itself should be linen, and it’s better bandage everything tightly), stand behind the threshold, and then, stepping over it with your right foot, begin a complete walk around the home. This must be done counterclockwise. But before you step through the threshold, you need to say the following words, maybe in a whisper:

"All Salt Salt, from Perunov Thursday,
We all care
How did you come to the house?
So the bitter misfortune is gone.
Protect and help
Save the house from evil."

And when the whole apartment has been walked around - I repeat once again: you need to go into every room that has a door - again stand in front of the threshold, facing the exit, and say:

"All evil go away,
And happiness will come.
I'm locking my word
I seal it with salt."

It is necessary to store Thursday Salt in the kitchen, close to the stove. But in such a way that no prying eye could see it, and under no circumstances tell strangers anything about it. This kind of salt is a kind of panacea; it helps with many illnesses, both physical and mental, it “heals” and protects the family, and brings happiness and prosperity to the home.

Here are things that it is better not to combine Thursday Salt with:

Garbage, litter, dust, dirty water;
rusty nails or any other iron objects touched by rust;
food waste, spoiled food.

But if you look at it, all of the above is unlikely to be in the house of good owners who take care of their home. So, if you keep order, the positive effects of the Salt of All Salts will not be limited in any way.

The Salt of All Salts can be offered to the Brownie. And this is not only possible, but also necessary, he will be grateful to you for it. For such an offering, you should pour a little Salt into a wooden or ceramic bowl or an ordinary saucer and place it in a secluded corner, preferably under a closet, with the words:

"What is good for a person,
This is for the benefit of the Brownie too,
Accept, friend Brownie, Thursday Salt,
For joy and good health."

After a few days, when you feel that your House gift has been accepted and appreciated, the Salt should be removed. But you shouldn’t throw it down the garbage disposal or rinse it off in the sink under running water. Items of Power cannot be treated disrespectfully, much less the Thursday Salt. It should be sent back out the window or from the balcony into the world, so that it all scatters in the wind, and the following words should be said:

"How I came from the good world,
So she left for the good world,
scattered in the wind,
Sowing goodness into the ground."

How can you replace Thursday Salt?

There are situations when there is no Thursday Salt in the house, it has all run out or there was no way to make it. In such cases, this is what you need to do - take the most common, natural salt, without additives, and temporarily give it Strength using a special spell. And you can use it in the same way as Thursday Salt, but you should remember that the Power of such salt does not last long, no more than a month. And if you must perform any ritual using Strong Salt, then prepare the salt the day before so that the Strength does not have time to get lost in it.

Ritual for making Strong Salt

The ritual should be performed on the waxing moon, preferably just before the full moon. For this you need 1 glass of table salt. To perform the ritual, you should stand in front of the window and take a left hand a glass of salt, then right hand take a pinch of salt from this glass and, holding it in your hand, say:

"From heaven and earth
Gather strength to yourself,
Become, Sol, strong,
Needed for any business."

Then you should put the charmed salt back into the glass with the rest of the salt. But this must be done in a special way. The charmed salt should be “salted” on top, as it were, describing circles clockwise with your hand. Then you need to leave the salt on the window for a day, and then pour it into a linen bag. Such Strong Salt can be used in all conspiracies and rituals instead of Thursday, but, of course, we must not forget that the power of such salt is much weaker, and such salt cannot be used in the house as the Main Item of Power.

Information about Thursday salt will not be complete without also mentioning the methods of its preparation.

Thursday salt blessed with gold and silver

It should be clarified that the term “consecrated” in witchcraft means a thing, an object made using a certain ritual and having additional characteristics compared to the original sample. Thus, consecrated salt has more powerful cleansing properties than consecrated salt through prayer.

To create this salt, you will need regular table salt, as well as gold and silver jewelry. It could be a bracelet, a chain, a ring - but without stones, made of cast metal. The ideal jewelry for the ceremony is massive gold wedding ring and a cast silver wrist bracelet, or thick chains made of gold and silver - thin silver and gold chains are too lightweight and do not have strong energy. The ritual is carried out for three days in a row in the morning.

First day: heat the salt in a frying pan over an open fire for 30 minutes, then, without allowing it to cool, pour it into a glass jar in which it will be stored, put pure gold jewelry in it and close the lid tightly. Leave the jar in a dark place for a day.

Second day: remove the gold item, heat the salt over an open fire for 20 minutes and pour it back into the jar. Place silver jewelry in it and close the lid for a day.

The third day: Remove the silver item, heat the salt a third time over the fire for 10 minutes, then place the frying pan on the table in front of you and, while the salt is cooling, place your hands over the salt to feel the heat that comes from it. Breathing slowly and steadily, hold your hands over the salt for about 10 minutes, charging it with your own energy. Then pour into the jar and close the lid tightly: the salt is ready.

Methods for preparing Thursday Salt.

On Thursday, mix the kvass grounds (after fermenting the wort) with coarse rock salt. Instead of leaven grounds, you can use rye or Borodino bread (5 kg of bread per 1 kg of salt), mix the soaked bread with salt, place in an oven or oven heated to 250 degrees. C and cook until the bread turns black. Grind the resulting mixture and pass through a sieve. The salt remaining in the sieve is poured into jars and used instead of regular salt.

Chop the top green leaves taken from the cabbage head and mix with rock salt. Then burn it in a stove or oven.

Mix herbs (oregano, mint) with rock salt and rye or Borodino bread (kvass grounds) and burn in the oven or oven. In Kostroma, this tasty and healing salt is still prepared and is called Kostroma black salt.
Such salt can be consecrated at the Temple - during the four biggest holidays of Kologod - Kupalo, Maslenitsa, Kolyada and Radogoshch.
