Spicey Spice Mix

I find myself using the same combination of spices in many recipes (including everyday cooking, italian, mexican, and even asian, etc.), so why not stir up a big bunch of mix.  Also, by using a combination of flavorful spices and spice mixes, I can add flavor while cutting back on salt.  I like a good deal of heat, but cayenne can be cut back or left out. So if a recipe calls for salt, using this mix will net less sodium than just salt alone, (this mix has over a third less sodium as in the same amount of table salt, but obviously, this is for savory dishes rather than sweets or baking).
