What is a spell jar? Spell jars can be made for a wide variety of spells, such as Protection, Sweet jars, Self-love, Abundance, Good luck, Anti-anxiety, Anti-depression, Fertility, Curses/Hexes, and just about anything else you can think of.  Basically, you're going to take all your ingredients and combine them into a jar, then you'll seal the jar shut using wax, string, glue, or anything else that will keep it shut tight. Then you'll dispose of the jar in a specific way or you'll keep it on your altar to shake up every now and then when it needs refreshing.

  Why jinx, curse or hex? We often read about these so-called "dark" or "baneful" magics without being able to distinctly tell them apart. My goal in this post will be to clearly explain what each one is used for and how they work. Some witches don't practice "baneful" magic because it goes against the rule "do no harm" but we believe over here that sometimes karma needs a little help. This is not something to play with, these types of magics should only be used in serious situations. Going around using "baneful" magic at every little inconvenience is just bad form. What is a Jinx?

A jinx is generally used to cause bad luck, it's fairly harmless and only lasts a short period of time. For example, things like: "I hope (target) steps on a lego....
