spell jars: maintenance

if you've crafted a spell jar that you'd like to work for an extended period of time, maintenance of said jar is highly suggested - in this case specifically, i'm gonna use benefic spell jars as an example.

just like a device that operates on battery (can you tell i like this analogy?), a spell jar should be charged on a regular basis to maintain its integrity and functionality. a little housekeeping, if you will.

spell jar maintenance:

clean the outside of the jar - wipe it down and dust it off

take a look inside - does anything look unintentionally moldy or unsavory?

if so, you might consider remaking the jar - unless the jar is meant to be baneful in nature, soured ingredients likely won't help manifest something positive

otherwise, you can cleanse the jar of any negative energy that it may have acquired since its creation and recharge it with the same energy, intent, and ingredients

or you can remake it all together

when does a spell jar need to be maintained?

when it stops working

when you fail to see the results you wanted

when you feel like it needs a little boost

when you want to reevaluate your intentions

when you need a fresh start

when the vibes are off

whenever you want

disassembling a spell jar

you can literally just throw it in the trash if you want to

but you can also:

bury the rest of the ingredients

burn them

leave them outdoors to be reclaimed by nature

etc.

your mileage may vary, but as always:

don't burn toxic herbs, don't fuck up the environment, and practice fire safety :)
