Salt has always been used for protection…
but not in the way most people think.

It doesn’t just block things out.
It absorbs.
It pulls in what doesn’t belong—
energy, emotion, residue that lingers longer than it should.

That’s why it’s been placed at doorways,
lined along thresholds,
and left in bowls throughout a space.

Not as decoration…
but as something that’s actively working.

Salt has been used across traditions for purification and protection— to cleanse a space, to hold what needs to be removed, and to create a boundary where one didn’t exist before.

Some people keep it near entrances.
Some leave it out to absorb what’s been sitting too long.
Some use it in baths, or carry it with herbs for protection.

Different forms carry different purposes—
black salt for stronger protection and banishing,
sea salt for general cleansing,
but all of it comes back to the same thing:
It takes in what shouldn’t stay.
And once it does its job…
it’s not meant to be kept.
It’s meant to be replaced.
Washed away. Let go.

I think there’s something important in that.
Not everything is meant to be held onto— especially the things that were never yours to carry.

Salt knows when to take something in…
and when it’s time to release it.

Maybe we’re meant to learn that too.

Next up. . . the Lyrid Meteor Shower! 💫💫💫

The Lyrids peak on the night of April 21–22, 2026, when you can expect to see an average of 10 meteors per hour in dark, clear skies. Rarely, the Lyrids produce surges of up to 100 meteors per hour. This meteor shower is visible from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, but it is much more active in the Northern Hemisphere, where the meteors’ radiant is high in the sky.

In 2026, the Moon will be a waxing crescent (33% full) during the Lyrids’ peak. For optimal viewing, look away from the Moon and where it is illuminating the sky.

If the past few days have brought unusual tiredness, broken sleep, emotional heaviness, or a restlessness you cannot explain, you are feeling the Full Moon.

This is one of the most energetically charged phases in any lunar cycle. It pulls buried emotions to the surface. It disrupts sleep patterns. It makes the body feel like it is carrying more than usual because energetically, it is.

This is temporary and it is purposeful.

What is rising in you right now is rising to be released. Allow it.

Rest more than feels reasonable. And trust that the clarity waiting on the other side of this cycle is worth every uncomfortable moment of moving through it.

🖤GARGOYLE LORE

Gargoyles were never meant to be feared.
They were placed high up to guard—
not just buildings, but what was inside them.
Watching.
Holding the edge.

I have one on my front porch.
I sit out there a lot…
and he stays exactly where I placed him.
Not decoration.
He’s there for a reason.

Old belief says they don’t chase anything away.
They don’t need to.
They watch.
They hold the line.
They keep things from getting too close in the first place.

That’s always made sense to me.
Because real protection isn’t about reacting to everything.
It’s knowing what gets to come near you…
and what doesn’t.

Some things are meant to stand at the threshold.

I trust that kind of protection.
