A magic circle is a circle of space marked out by practitioners of some branches of ritual magic, which they generally believe will contain energy and form a sacred space, or will provide them a form of magical protection, or both. It may be marked physically, drawn in a material like salt, flour, or chalk, or merely visualised.

Any drink that involves a Salt Circle should arguably take a centre stage in any Witches’ heart (and Drinks Cabinet)! 😃
And because of it’s ingredients, a Margarita can lend itself well to spells around both Love and, of course, Protection.
Magical workings aside though, did you know the reason the salt was added to a Margarita rim?

If salt circles can protect you from demons that means a demon can never enjoy a margarita.

Q: Why are margaritas the safest Halloween drink?
A: The liquor is in the middle of a salt circle, so ghosts and demons can’t get to it. 😉

The reason that margarita at the Mexican restaurant with your friends tastes so good is because it’s a spiritually uplifting drink. It’s got a salt circle! Ghosts and Demons can’t get you.
It’s good energy.

I saw a stupid post that blew my mind in a dumb way
Margaritas are tasty because it’s a safe drink. There’s a salt circle around it to keep the evil spirits out.
Maybe that’s why I feel like I’m being exorcised when I drink them. It’s getting rid of my demons lmao
