The idea of spell jars is no new concept, and this may be an idea done before, but I wanted to spread it out there for the new witchlings who would like to find another way to be with their deities!
Now why the loop in these jars? This is so you can wear the jar as a necklace, attach as a keychain, or hang up somewhere! These small jars are easy to hide for witches that are still in secret, and portable! I recommend wearing them when asking for a deity’s help, as well as when you are performing actions you want to dedicate to the deity! For example, when I am gardening, I would wear or keep close my Gaea jar to dedicate it to her. This can also be applied to spirit companions!
Miniature jar with metal loop in the cork (you can put in the metal loop yourself if need be)
Objects associated with the deity
Candle (optional)- color depends on the deity; if no candle, use hot glue to seal the jar
Incense/scented spray associated with the deity (optional)
Chain/cord/thick string to thread the loop
While working on the jar, light a candle in honor of the deity you are making the jar for. If you can’t, that’s ok- incense or a spray works or you can even ignore this step. Pray to your deity to let them know what you are doing. These miniature jars can be found in craft stores, with the loop already in, in the jewelry-making section. If you have trouble finding them, you can stick a thicker wire in the cork of a miniature jar and use jewelry pliers to create the loop yourself! If you do so, I do recommend bending the other end to secure the wire in. Put the anything you associate your deity with into the jar. You can put little charms, miniature objects, herbs, gem chips, and so forth! I will list a few examples/recipes of my own. What’s important is that these are items that made you think of them- found or bought doesn’t matter. When you have finished putting in the objects, put on the cork and seal the jar with the candle wax from the candle you lit. If you were unable to light a candle, some hot glue will work just fine. Let the wax/glue cool. If you lit a candle, let it burn down with the jar placed near it. Thread the jar with some thick string, chain, or leather cord. There you go, all done!
Here are a few of my own recipes:
Sealed with pink candle wax
Pinch of ash (mine came from a campfire I dedicated to her)
2 dragon’s blood resin pieces
Sealed with purple candle wax
Magic purple basil leaves
Pinch of dirt from my garden
Sealed with green candle wax
Note: Many ways to substitute. Any crystals or stones will do. I decided to represent nature in different forms: leaves, resin, wood, flower. You can also include a root of some sort. Gaea is nature all around us, so representing her in a bottle can be very diverse.
