Although you could just go out and buy premixed spices, making them yourself will give you a much nicer flavor and the comfort that you will not be consuming all sorts of preservatives, sugar, and anti-caking agents.

For this Cajun spice mic recipe, I have quoted the ingredients in parts in order that you can make as much mix as you like, whether that be a few tablespoons or a couple of kilos.

Enjoy!
