Cascarilla dust is a ritual powder made from crushed chicken eggs used mainly for protection and banish.

The word Cascarilla It means «shell» or «cover» in Spanish and pronounced correctly, cas ka ree yah But it is often pronounced Kas Ka Rill Uh In the north without confusion. There is a cascarilla plant that is also used for metaphysical purposes, but the two substances are not energetically equivalent.

Cascarilla dust is a white or whitish powder made of finely crushed egg shells of a chicken chicken, preferably black. The protective nature of the egg peel, which protects the embryo while developing, materializes in dust when used for protective magic.

But the protective nature of the cascarilla seems to come mainly from its banistering qualities. It seems that negative energy cannot exist in the presence of sufficient cascarilla and spiritual beings find it repulsive. Thus, a cascarilla line acts as a barrier to the entrance of harmful or destructive spirits and energies.

Cascarilla dust is popular in the Latin American diaspora (former santeria) and African (former hoodo) and is usually bought in stores of this type. It is often packaged in a glass of white paper, similar to a disposable glass of tomato sauce. The dust is usually very well packaged and, if stored for some time, it will have begun to solidify and can come out as a solid chalk piece (in fact, it is very similar chemically to the chalk). It can be used as to draw and write with the cascarilla or can be easily crushed to turn it into dust.

Cascarilla’s elaboration

You will need …

• Several empty eggs. 1 shell is not a 1/2 teaspoon of cascarilla, so pick up a lot.
• To mortar and mortar hand (you can also use a coffee grinder)
• A small manual sieve, a strainer or something like that.
• A container.

1. Wash several empty egg peels and remove the inner membrane, which usually detaches themselves better when they are well wet, and let them dry well. If the dry ones in the oven, this will accelerate and become more brittle.
2. Place the peels one in one in the mortar and crush them well with the mortar. Remember your intention for dust. A song, a song or a psalm will help you. Psalm 23 is what they taught me for protective magic in general.
3. When you have crushed some peels well, pour the content of the mortar in the sieve and sift the fine dust in the container. Next, it returns to the mortar the pieces that did not go through the sieve and crush a little more. Repeat the operation. Do it as fine as you want. If you are going to put it in your body or mix it with liquid, you will want it very fine, but if you are going to spread it through your property or add it to a container spell … you can leave it a little thicker.
4. If you want to make cascarilla chalk, you should press the very fine dust in a mold and let it stand for some time. With three weeks it will be enough, if it is well compacted. A little moisture will help to stick. The process can be accelerated by adding some flour and water, which will act as glue. You cannot exert the pressure and time necessary to solidify well, so, for greater stability, it is better to choose a shorter and more fat form for the chalk, instead of a long and fine way. Therefore, Catsup cups.
