🧱 RED BRICK DUST 🧱

Red Brick Dust is a traditional protective and cleansing powder used to clean your front steps, window sills or other entrance or doorway.
It can be mixed with floor washes or sprinkled directly to ward off evil, curses, and keeping enemies away.

HOW TO MAKE RED BRICK DUST
YOU NEED :
red brick
metal hammer
flat hard surface
funnel or rolled up paper
Small amount of rum or whiskey
mortar and pestle
jar or vessel
goggles and handkerchief/mask
INSTRUCTIONS :
Find a hard, flat surface, preferably outside, and lay out a large piece of cardboard or thick paper on top. Keep in mind, you’re going to be hammering against this surface, so don’t choose a table or glass or anything that could be damaged or broken by a hammer. The cardboard of paper is to catch the brick pieces as they crumble.
2. Set your brick in the middle and sprinkle it lightly with rum or whiskey (this is your offering to the brick for the work it will do for you).
3. Pray prayers of protection over the brick (pray to your gods/ancestors/spirits/universe).
4. Cover your face with a handkerchief and goggles for your eyes. These protect from red brick dust or pieces getting into your eyes or breathing it in.
5. Use your hammer to start breaking the brick apart. You’ll find the right strength and speed as you go along.
6. Continue to pray over the brick as you hammer it into smaller and smaller chunks.
7. Once you’ve gotten the brick down to small chunks, transfer the chunks of brick (small portions at a time) to your mortar and pestle.
8. With your pestle in hand, begin to lightly pound at the chunks of brick, grinding them down into a fine powder. Do this with all the brick chunks, portions at a time, until the entire brick is dust.
9. Pray another prayer of protection over the brick. Then use a funnel or rolled up paper to transfer the red brick dust to a mason jar or vessel of some kind.
10. Label and store it until ready for use.
