Egg shells in witchcraft
Save your eggshells and make them into a powder. You can use them for protection, peace and cleansing!
Tumblr media
Also, can be used to make Black Salt. Just add some incense ashes!
Just rinse them, allow them to dry, crush in your mortar and pestle and store them in a labeled bottle.
Powdered Eggshells can be used in your magical workings to cast circles or for protection.
To add some extra oomph, add a pinch of salt and dragon's blood resin in your protection blend.

Witchy Tools: Eggshells
Used For
Eggshells are very well known for being ingredients for protection across a variety of magical traditions. While they have other uses too, that is by far the most prominent use. The crushed eggshells are used to make protection lines/barriers, or as ingredients in spells - something especially helpful in workings where using salt could poison the soil. It can also be used to draw sigils or other symbols - especially if you make it into eggshell-chalk.
Materials
Eggshells
Water (optional)
Flour (optional)
Coloring (optional)
Process
If using eggshells as they are, you can either use whole eggshells or grind them up into smaller pieces or a powder, depending on what you are wanting to use it for. For example, whole eggshells can work as spell containers, pieces can be used in spell ingredients, and powder can form protective lines - though there are many other uses as well.
If making the eggshells into chalk for more directed linework with the eggshells, you can grind the eggshells into a powder. Then you’ll add that to a paste made from water and flour until it’s thick enough to form into the shape of a piece of chalk. If you want to add color magic into it as well, you can add colors to it as well in this stage. After letting it dry for several days, it should be ready to use.
Why it Works/History
Most of why eggshells work as a magical tool has to do with them being a literal protection for new life. By either harnessing (or in some cases, destroying) that protection for yourself, you can take on the magical properties of that protection. They can also provide nutrients for the garden, helping gardens protected with them to thrive.
Historically, there are references to eggshells believed to allow witches to fly, and some believe it can draw in the fae. Between the two, in older times it became a habit to break any eggshells ready for disposal to prevent both from happening. However, there isn’t much recorded regarding the specifics of their use in European witchcraft. In the closed traditions of Santeria, Hoodoo, and a few others eggshell powder had similar uses too, though the powder was often mixed with other ingredients and used in ways traditional to the practices.

I love in Howls Moving castle how Howl feeds Calcifer eggshells, not just because it's cute, which it is, but because Calcifer is a chimney fire, and burning eggshells (and lettuce) is an old school way to prevent soot build up in chimneys. It's basically small insight into this guy's anatomy, plus it's cute to see him munch.

Is crushed eggshells supposed to smell? Are you supposed to boil them first then crush them? Can you boil crushed eggshells to get rid of the smell? I am a eclectic witch

Leonette is handing out bows! They're not the best gift (or really good at all...) but it means a lot to him!

He’s adorable. I love. Orange does not understand the bow but I think he likes it.
This drawing is slightly uncooked but I like your little guy so you get to have the unrefined, truer version of Orange.

Good morning everyone!
This morning I am drying out eggshells and turning them into a powder. The eggshell powder is sooo nutritious!! I love to add mine to my plants as well as mix it into food for my family. It doesn't have a taste and if you grind it fine enough it has no texture. I have picky eaters so knowing they getting their calcium!
Eggshells hold roughly 40% calcium! Even a half an eggshell can provide an adult with the daily requirements for calcium which is 1000mg Per day! Woah!!!!
Simply pull out the membrane from the egg. You can do this by running the egg shell under warm water and gently rubbing the inside of the eggshell.
Once you have done that preheat your oven to 225 and let those babies cook for about 20 mins!! Thats it! Grind them up to a very fine powder and store in a blessed jar!

Misery for Mariners :: Description Based on an old wives' tale. Crush your eggshells when you are done with them, or witches will make boats of them and terrorize sailors: 'Oh, never leave your eggshells unbroken in the cup,Think of us poor sailor-men and always smash them up,For witches come and find them and sail away to sea,And make a lot of misery for mariners like me.' :: [BreeAnn Veenstra]

“When Jung’s patients became overwhelmed with emotions, he sometimes would have them draw a picture of their feelings. Once the feelings were expressed in the form of imagery, the images could be encouraged to speak to one another. As soon as a dialogue could take place, the patient was well embarked on the process of reconciling different aspects of his dissociated psyche.”
Ernest Rossi, The Psychobiology of Mindbody Healing (1993) Norton [page 39]
