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 :)
