spell jars 101 ✧

updated version

how to craft a spell jar: 

cleanse your jar

gather your ingredients

charge and program them, and then add them to the jar

close and seal with wax, ribbon, string, etc. to finalize and cast the spell

decorate your jar however you'd like, or not at all - up to you

what you can use as a jar:

tiny glass jars with cork lids

mason jars

pickle/pasta sauce jars

old medication bottles

food storage containers

bead storage tubes

what you can add to a spell jar: 

dried herbs

dried citrus peels

dried flowers

magical powders

small crystals

gem chips

essential oils (a drop or two will go a long way)

infused oils (carrier oils such as olive or grapeseed oil that have been infused with herbs)

a few drops of charged water (storm water, war water, sea water, holy water, rain water, moon water, sun water, etc.)

paper (with sigils/symbols/glyphs drawn on it, an incantation, a name, a phrase, etc.)

coins

beads

glitter or confetti 

seashells/shark teeth/sand, etc.

leaves/acorns/sticks/bark/moss

animal fur, nail clippings, teeth, or whiskers that have fallen out naturally (if i catch you trying to pull out your pet's whiskers or fur, i will fight you)

nails, glass, pins, needles, thorns, and other sharp objects (great for cursing, binding, banishing, or protection)

vinegar, lemon juice, pickle juice (mostly for “souring” a situation)

honey, sugar, syrup (to “sweeten” a situation or for attraction)

pretty much anything that fits and corresponds to your intent

what you should avoid putting in a spell jar: 

unless your intent correlates with the contents of the jar spoiling or going bad - don't use anything biological in nature (think bodily fluids), don't use fresh produce or herbs, and be mindful of water content inside the jar. you don't want a moldy, biohazardous mess on your hands (unless you do, then that's cool, too).

what spell jars are good for: 

containing your spell, theoretically making it easier to manipulate and control

manifesting goals/intentions continuously or over time

passive manifestation that doesn’t require much ongoing participation from the caster but is subject to regular maintenance

what to do with your spell jar once it’s been crafted:

keep it on your altar

keep it in an area that's appropriate for goal manifestation (for glamours, keep it in the bathroom; for sleep or dreams, keep it in the bedroom; for safe travels, keep it in your vehicle; for cursing, keep it concealed in a black box; etc.)

wear it as jewelry

put it in your pocket, purse, or backpack

bury it in your backyard or within a potted plant outside (for spells you don’t plan to undo or want to last indefinitely) - if burying is not an option, hide it somewhere on your property

leave it at a crossroads

recharging spell jars: 

shake it up

light a candle on top of or next to it

submerge it in a bath of herbs or crystals that are associated with energy

submerge or surround with sea salt (a natural conductor of energy)

anoint with oil/blessed or charged water

pair with a tarot card or rune stone that matches your intent

suffumigate with incense smoke

energy work and visualization

disposing of and reversing spell jars - when you feel like the spell has done its job or you need to undo its effects:

remove the contents from the jar and either destroy them, bury them, or throw them away

for items you wish to save, cleanse them thoroughly before using them again

take the jar and cleanse it in whatever manner you choose and either save it to be reused; or dispose of it safely

Progress! I went over to Dillon's today because I needed to get some money orders, and I wanted to check on my job application status. There's like three job postings over there. One of the ladies over there was an old coworker of mine in the kitchen. She told me the woman who does the HR stuff will be there on Wednesday, and told me just to come in that day!

Easy Self Cleansing Spell

So, I posted this spell a couple times before l, but I can’t find it. So here it is. I doesn’t require candles, a big fancy ritual, etc. It only requires you. This spell is perfect for when you feel drained and need a boost, or if you have been around toxic people all day.

Now, normally, I will focus my energy into my hands, but I understand some people don’t have energy to spare. And that’s okay. It’s about intent, lovelies.

Focus your mind as much as possible

Using your hands, begin at your head. Say “In the name of the Divine, I cleanse my mind.” As your saying this as throwing all the negativity of you.

Cross your arms at your chest, “In the name of the Divine, I cleanse my body.” Throw negativity to the ground.

Place hands behind your back, “In name of the Divine, I cleanse my soul. Throw negativity.

Repeat 2 more times.

Say, "I send all my negativity to Mother Earth, that she may turn it into positivity for the good of all the Earth. So mote it be.”

If you are still feeling sluggish, you can repeat it again. If you feel like it worked, you should feel relaxed and weight lifted off of you.

Also, keep in my mind, this Spell can be tailored to individuals’ needs and beliefs. This was taught to me by a local witch who owned a store. She was very…old school. Things had to be done a certain way, but I’m not like that. I hope this helps! Merry meet!

Total nerd moment, but I have Minecraft on my phone, and I also have the Egyptian Mythology mod. And with most mods they have character skins. So obviously, I am currently using the Ra character.

I do want to build something like a temple. But of course that means I need to survive long enough to do so.

It's stressful and scary times right now, but I'm all ears. Come share your sorrows, joys, any crafts or hobbies you are partaking in, any interests you are thinking about pursuing, or if you just want simple chit chat. Anybody is welcome, but hate will be promptly ignored and deleted.

I'll happily be the crazy aunt that some how gives good advice.

Good news, interview went well she was wanting to get me hired on. Bad news, the on boarding process did not like me, and we tried everything. She sent an email to HR to help us so I feel better..ish. I'm going to be a broody vampire, enjoy this cool misty weather, and crochet
