I mostly use salt for protection. When casting a circle, I used salt or salt-water (holy water) as an outline for its protective and purifying qualities. I also use it along window sills and door ways to protect when I'm doing any sort of magical working that might create a beacon for nastiness.
It is by far the easiest of the herbs to obtain but, it may be difficult to choose as there is quite a variety available now. Everything from basic iodized table salt to flakes of Celtic sea salt to Pink Himilayan to Witches Black can be bought at local super markets and online retailers. It is always best to work with what your intuition guides you too or find a salt that matches the other tools in your ritual.

The following Rest In Peace Chamomile Spell comes from Lady Abyss on Witches of the Craft. Please visit their website for more information and spells with Chamomile.
"A carpet of chamomile planter over a grave encourages the dead to sleep and also eases their passage to the next realm."
Lucky Mojo describes their chamomile thus:
"CHAMOMILE FLOWERS are widely considered to be a Lucky herb. We believe that these flowers have been used by many people for the purpose of bringing Good Luck in Money Matters and especially at Games of Chance. Folks experienced at cards, slots, keno, the racetrack, the lottery, and bingo tell us that if their Hands are Clean, they believe they will have Good Luck. Therefore, they wash their hands with GOLDEN CHAMOMILE to Bring in the Winnings. Empty this packet into boiling water and let it steep for seven minutes. Strain and store until needed. Before betting, wash your hands with the golden liquid and recite the 23rd Psalm ("The Lord is my shepherd...") while concentrating on your desires."
