spell jars 101 ⚱

how to craft a spell jar: 

gather your ingredients

charge & program each ingredient before adding it to the jar (aka, give power & instructions to your ingredients)

add the ingredients to the jar

close the jar

enchant the jar as a whole object (see my post on enchanting items for further guidance)

seal with wax, ribbon, or string to finalize & cast the spell 

optional: decorate your bottle if you wish

what you can use as a jar:

tiny craft store jars

mason jars

pickle / pasta sauce jars

old medication bottles

food storage containers

what you can add to a spell jar: 

dried herbs

dried citrus peels

magickal 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 / beach sand

leaves

DNA (finger nail clippings, a piece of hair, etc. to be used as a taglock)

animal fur, nail clippings, teeth, or whiskers***

nails, glass, pins, needles, thorns, & 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 & corresponds to your intent

what you should avoid putting in a spell jar: 

fresh herbs or plant material (this can cause mold to grow inside of the jar)

biological secretions (i mean, you can if you want but it’s not necessarily sanitary & there are cleaner, more easily obtained taglocks to use instead)

what spell jars are good for: 

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

manifesting goals/intentions over time

manifesting goals continuously 

passive manifestation that doesn’t require much ongoing participation from the caster

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

keep it on your altar

depending on the intent of the spell, keep it in a different area that you frequent (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 around your neck

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 & visualization

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

do not throw the entire jar into an open flame - this is incredibly dangerous

remove the contents from the jar & either burn them or bury them

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

take the jar & cleanse it in whatever manner you choose & either save it to be reused; or shatter it & then dispose of it properly

***please practice safe & ethical harvesting when it comes to using parts from a living animal in your craft; don’t ever trim whiskers off of your pet (if they come out naturally then it’s okay to use them); routine grooming is a great way to obtain some of the things i mentioned; you can use the baby teeth that you inevitably find when your puppy or kitten is teething, also!

My Death Witch/Spirit Worker Masterpost

Hey everyone! This is my list of resources I have made over the course of the existence of this blog, pertaining specifically to death witchcraft and spirit work. (EDIT: I also added divination because it is such a vital part of my own practice) I hope it helps some of you, and provides a resource for you to use! I’ve also thrown in my death work stuff as well. These posts are all mine, coming from separate blogs at times ( @shipping-the-gods , @the-daily-diviner, and @tarnished-headstone (@witchthatiam is the name of this blog from a while ago)); none of these blogs are active. The only blogs I am active on are @lonesome-bones, @bronwyns-divination-shop, @spirit-tea-party (suggestions blog) and @breathing-in-gilded-dust (dodekatheism blog). 

Please note you can do these three practices individually, I just choose to put them together for my own personal practice! Pick what you like and use it if you desire.  

Thanks, 

Bronwyn

Yo I was wondering where u get your tiny jars and bottles?? They're so cute!!!

You can find them in a lot of craft stores (check the jewelry section) or you can find bottle necklace sets pretty cheap on Etsy from various shops!

[norindoeswitchcraft]

Reorganized all my spell components! Still not perfect, but I’m happy with it.

[norindoeswitchcraft]

My newly stocked and decorated travel altar! Still an Altoids tin, but I used washi tape to make the outside a bit nicer.

D20 Divination

I’m sure this exists in the universe somewhere, but I had a hard time searching for it since the word “divination” brings up a lot of D&D links.

This is a work in progress, but here’s my first draft of doing divination with a d20. (If you’re not a huge nerd like me, a d20 is a 20 sided dice)

Ask a question and use “sacred breath” to blow your intentions on into the d20! 

1 - Everything about it is wrong and your life will be horrible. 2 - There’s no chance this will work out for you. 3 - You can fall further, but this is still bad place to be. 4 - Don’t get your hopes up. 5 - You will need to fall back on plan B. 6 - Your outcome will be negative but you’ll survive. 7 - Don’t get your hopes up, but the possibility for a positive outcome is there. 8 - Tread carefully and it may work out in your favor. 9 - Be very careful which path you choose and it should turn out alright. 10 - You have a 50/50 chance of positive or negative outcome. 11 - If you come up with and stick to a good plan, things will go your way. 12 - A positive outcome seems likely. 13 - Keep your hopes up and a positive outcome will follow. 14 - You have good ideas and they will lead you in the right direction. 15 - Everything will go according to plan and the plan is a great one. 16 - Wing it, you’re headed in the right direction. 17 - Your wishes will come true. 18 - Only positivity and happiness in your future. 19 - Everything will be perfect and wonderful. 20 - You will win the metaphorical lottery of whatever it is you’re wondering about.

☽ Sea Knot Magick: a Wish Bracelet Spell ☾

This spell in particular is very special to me as it was one of my first successful spells when I started practicing in the 7th grade. It’s a perfect example of Sea/Lunar Witchcraft and Knot Magick! 

What you need:

☾ a Full Moon

☾ 5 different colored embroidery threads - one color to represent the moon (white, silver, even yellow), one color to represent the ocean, a color to represent your birth stone, a color to represent the wish (red/pink for love, green for luck/prosperity, etc.), and your favorite color. The length of the threads is dependent upon the type of bracelet you choose to make–I did a double chevron, throwback to friendship bracelets (▰˘◡˘▰)

☾ A conch shell

☾ A symbol (a piece of jewelry that has sentimental value; could’ve been given to you by a loved one, or perhaps you choose a piece that represents the sea)

☾ Blue lace agate, which can be used as a wish stone, or stones that correspond with your wish

☾ Rain water, salt water, or sea water; I recommend water charged by the moon, your crystals, or blessed by Poseidon/Aphrodite/Selene/your patron

☾ (Optional) a Sea Altar or altar honoring a Sea Deity 

What to do:

Take the embroidery threads and begin to make a bracelet of your choice out of them; it doesn’t matter what pattern you choose, be it chevron, double wave, diamond, etc.

While you make each knot, visualize your energy flowing into the bracelet. Charge it with your wish. I even repeated my wish as a mantra in my head during the process as a type of affirmation as well, focusing on the outcome of my wish. While making the bracelet (which, depending on the pattern, can take a while), have some ocean-scented candles or incense burning! Let the bracelet sit on an ocean themed altar when you aren’t working on it.

Upon finishing it, let the bracelet soak in a bowl of your salt/rain/sea water for 10 minutes. Use blue lace agate or your stone(s) of choice to charge the water beforehand–remember to research whether or not the crystals are safe to sit in water overnight! If the water hasn’t already been blessed, this would be a good opportunity to place the bowl on your altar, place an offering beside it, and ask a Sea Deity or your patron to bless it!

Wrap the bracelet around your symbol and place it underneath the conch shell for 1 full day

On the next full moon, place your bracelet outside in the light of the full moon.

Wear the bracelet until the wish comes true!

When I did this spell originally, I had confused the new moon symbol with the full moon symbol on my calendar by accident. The night it was supposed to sit out in the moonlight, I figured the moon had already risen and fallen by then, so I went to bed and had a dream about the full moon. The next morning, I woke up and noticed it had already started to take effect. I remember realizing that magick worked in strange ways, and I was astonished and how fast it worked–I highly recommend this spell for sea witches! Feel free to incorporate the appropriate herbs or an incantation!
