Actually jar spells are pretty interesting on the whole. Especially some jars which are not meant to be touched, handled, or otherwise disturbed unless youāre breaking the spell thatās in them. For instance, styles of souring jars or hexing jars - which Iāve used particularly well with ammonia (yes, ammonia), which were meant for dissolving and/or removing and/or stripping of a particular thing from a particular item. Slowly. Meant to sit in a dark hidden spot.
Granted a lot of witch jars or bellamine jars are buried (sometimes in the fire place, flipped over), but the concept there is the same. You make the jar, you turn it over, you bury it at your fire place, and you look forĀ the nearest person with an intense ass headache. Some bellamine jars stay for centuries, and are dung up, and promptlyā¦ reburied right in the place that they were originally put.Ā https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartmann_jug
This isnāt the first concept of sitting jar, in fact, some jars are meant to be shields. Meant toĀ āgrow moldā or become cloudy, because thatās when the jar has done itās job. It has a purpose, to be hit. To take in. To absorb. In the same way that another witchās bottle works. In the same way that any talisman or amulet that falls works orĀ breaks or suddenly ādisappearsā.
Itās true a lot of jar spells in Hoodoo requires extra details to work. Shaking jars certainly by the name are like that. Honey Jars / Sweetening jars require you to lick your fingers after you put the target in the jar, to sweeten them and you to them. Itās true other hexing jars require burial and require prayer, ritual and treaties with spirits. They need to be well oiled, well fed, well kept.Ā
But jar spells arenāt limited to Hoodoo, and arenāt limited to certain folk magic type spells either that i have exemplified here.Ā
Oh, and pot pourri? Pot pourri, properly handled, is oiled and fed to keep it fresh and managed. You have to stir it. I would call any jar spell that requires that the equivalent of pot pourri. Otherwise, youāll just have moldy herbs. Anyone who knows how to make pot pourri would know that a good one will last for years as long as you manage and take care of it by stirring it and keeping it activated. Your metaphors are bad.Ā
One more thing and on a personal note, in my mind the act of a witch or in some cases, as is this one, the spell caster, their act is not without power. The glance of a witch can curse. The spit of a witch can curse. Even the hair of a witch can lay claim, the grip, the handshake of a witch can cause something. Donāt mistake a witchās movement for lack of power.Ā
So when a witch or a spell caster takes a sprig of rosemary and puts it somewhere purposefully, letās say, in a corner, or in the claw of the rooster, itās not just because the rosemary contains something special about it. Something buried in itās spirit. Itās because the witch chose that sprig specifically. I carefully choose every piece of thing that I work with.Ā
I check to see itās health. I check to see itās wealth. I check to see itās form is most perfect for what I need. A thing chosen, selected by a witch has much power, in my opinion.
See I can play this game as well, where I teach you a backwards lesson. Where I make assumptions about your practice, your doing, your actions, and by which I mean to shame you for my presumption of your lacking.
If you want to talk about spells, you know the blog handle. I love them. Jar spells are very interesting. Iāve thrown a few jars into some rivers, much to the anger and surprise of some of my followers. Iāve broken my jar spells before.Ā Ā
I do like much of tumblrās willingness to experiment with jars, and most other spells. I would be very interested to see how a jar with flour, salt, yeast, sugar, would sit. I wouldnāt necessarily add water here, but I might. A specific selected water. It might be interesting.Ā
After all, there are a few home protection spells which include flour, salt, sugar, and a few other things, as well as a penny with the year that the house was built, meant to be stored in the heart of the home, to not be interfered with. Because it works passively as a protection amulet.Ā
Even the jars themselves are important, just like the bellamine jarās shape. Some vessels work the form, and thatās why you choose them. Some of them are meant for the color of the jar. Blue Jar spells have been spoken about for years for specific kinds of binding spells, or domination spells.Ā
So thereās a strong history of jars beingĀ āsetā andĀ āforgotten.ā The work is done because you, the worker, has worked it. Adding more on to it, is not needed and may disrupt the jarās purpose. Especially if someone catches you, and you accidentally drop the jar and shattering it - as is the case in one particular blue jarās story that I remember circling around theĀ ānet. Best left to alone to do itās job, rather than handled.Ā
