Cascarilla / Efun

Traditional Protective Chalk

Prepared from eggshell and treasured throughout Afro-Caribbean, Espiritismo, and folk traditions, Cascarilla has long been associated with purification, blessing, and spiritual protection. Traditionally formed into chalk-like pieces, it has been used to mark sacred spaces, inscribe symbols, bless thresholds, and support devotional and cleansing practices.

The humble eggshell itself has long symbolized life, renewal, and protection. Through preparation and intention, a material becomes something sacred—transformed into a tool for prayer, blessing, and spiritual work. Hand-formed Cascarilla remains an important part of many traditions and continues to be valued by practitioners around the world.

White Table Tarot House Cascarilla is carefully prepared in small batches and hand-formed according to traditional inspiration, creating pieces suitable for a variety of devotional and protective uses.
