#nightmare jar

[havupoika]

I made my first spell jar and I’m still a bit jittery after it so I’m writing this to hopefully calm down!

I made this to my boyfriend, who is insomniac and suffers from nightmares, yes you guessed it, its Anti Nightmare Jar! I borrowed elements and instructions from two different posts. @justlooking1995 gladly helped me to my ingredients and @witchy-woman helped me with the whole process of making it. Thank you both so much for those posts. :-)

I am so new with all of this, so I eased myself into it by thinking of what I want from this, who is it from and what they want from it. First I had to translate everything (I’m Finnish) so it made it easier to familiarize with what I needed etc.. 

On the bottom I have sea salt, then sage, cinnamon, chili, cocoa, coffee, rosemary, thyme and then again sea salt. I used the sea salt as a kind of grounding element, and also a filter to the other herbs properties. I stacked the ingredients based on how they would affects my bf, and what is best for him. The best on top and the lesser on bottom. 

I also grounded and focused myself on each ingredient, to calm myself down (I was nervous!) and to focus the ingredients ability to the cause. I did that by smelling the ingredient while memorizing what its ability is, and then relieving my breath while closing my eyes and remembering the ability and cause. It helped me and I feel like it helped the jar on its cause. When I got the point of closing the jar, I made up a chant to help the cause. It’s on my mother-tongue, but it’s goes something like “I close you to bless, to take away nightmare dreams. Bring clarity to mind and good nights rest.” (I swear it rhymes a bi better on my mother-tongue lol...;;) I thought of that while sealing it with wax, and afterwards said it out loud for a few times while concentrating. (I also sealed it with gold wax was because he loves gold ♥)

I just hope it works. It left me a good feeling, so I hope that at least goes forward to his dreams. If you read this, thank you! I’m always open for tips and helpful advises or critique if I did something wrong... I’m still a newbie so I’m open for suggestions :-)

Hi Morbidy! I saw your post about the Nightmare Jars. Thank you for posting it! I'm very interested in Wicca and spells, especially protective ones. I was wondering: if a nightmare jar were to accidentally break somehow, or if someone were to unwittingly open the jar, would that release the negative energy? And if so, how would that be countered?

Oooh, interesting question! (original post here for those of you following along at home)

Ideally, the negativity attracted to the jar would have been purified/destroyed by the salt and other ingredients in the jar, and by the routine of cleansing it in sunlight. Opening it shouldn’t have too ill of an effect. It’s like those sticky-pad pest traps - the creature is already dead at that point and opening it won’t release the dead mouse into the room (ugh i hate to think about those traps but it makes a good comparison).

However, sometimes the jars can become “overloaded” I’ve discovered (either they were not made strongly enough, or were too small for the intensity of the nightmares). In that case, there may still be negativity trapped in the jar that could escape into a room were it to be accidentally unsealed.If a jar were to break or be opened, here is what I would probably do to remedy the situation:

Burn (or otherwise discard) the black bundle of yarn. It and the hair are meant to be the attracting agents in the spell to draw the negativity in. If there was icky energy left, it would be concentrated in that black bundle.

Cleanse the area by whatever way your practice recommends. I like using smoke (bet you couldn’t guess that from my url), but any cleansing method you would normally use would work.

If you feel things were released from the jar, you may want to upgrade it when replacing it - use a bigger vessel, or use more potent ingredients. Like I said, ideally there would be nothing left to get out, but if you feel there is when it breaks, it may be a sign you need a larger/stronger spell.

Thanks so much! I love when people throw these kind of questions at me because it gets me to think more about my theories and practices!

I ended up a lot more squawking and creaky than I intended. Let me know if you want a cuter sound.
