Graveyard Dirt – Ways To Use It
 
Graveyard dirt is a staple ingredient in many witchcraft traditions and recipes. When properly procured, a small bottle of graveyard dirt can aid you in protective work, banishing spells, and creating poppets.
 
Graveyard dirt has different properties depending on whose grave you take the dirt from and what you intend to use it for. Taking graveyard dirt from the grave of an ancestor is always preferred, but if you’re unable to, consider the purpose of your work.
