“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”
“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer.
“Do tell!”
Grin. “Blood.”
The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous.

“Bye.”

DO NOT CAST SALT CIRCLES IN FORESTS OR ANYWHERE IN NATURE. By doing so you’re permanently harming the environment that you’re supposed to be worshipping and treating with respect. “If working with salt please keep in mind that it is a natural desiccating agent, meaning it sucks out all of the water [therefore] it will kill your grass and destroy the surrounding soil, making it uninhabitable for plants and such.”
