Cascarilla, traditionally known as eggshell powder, has roots stretching back to ancient cultures, particularly within Afro-Caribbean spiritual practices like Santería and European folk magic. Historically, eggshells symbolized life, purity, and rebirth, making them ideal for spiritual applications. Practitioners grind eggshells into a fine powder to create a protective substance that repels negative energies and spirits. The use of cascarilla spread beyond its origins, finding a place in various spiritual traditions where protection, purification, and spiritual fortification were needed. It also became a staple for drawing symbols and creating boundaries during rituals, helping practitioners establish sacred space and keep unwanted influences at bay.

Cascarilla's versatility makes it a powerful ally in spiritual work today. It is commonly sprinkled around entrances or around the perimeter of rooms to create a protective barrier and shield against negativity. Adding cascarilla to bathwater is a traditional way to cleanse and purify the spirit, while anointing candles or tools enhances their energy-clearing properties. It can also be used to draw sigils, circles, or other protective symbols, empowering the space or object with its grounding and stabilizing energy. Whether used for personal protection, spiritual purification, or ritual work, cascarilla is a potent and essential tool in any spiritual toolkit.
