Making Spell Jars

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. I'll list the specific ways of disposing of a jar at the end of this post. Keep in mind the lists of ingredients I'm giving with each type of jar is not complete, there's plenty more you could add to them, I could never list it all. The types of jars is also not complete, I couldn't list every time of jar you could make, even if I tried.

For most spell jars...

You'll want to start by gathering your ingredients together. Next, you'll cast a circle or create your sacred space to work in. First, cleanse your empty jar and write your petition. A petition is just your intent stated clearly and in the present tense. Now fold, crumple, or roll the petition up and put it in the jar.  Next, start adding your ingredients. You'll want your herbs and spices to be dried because herbs not totally dried out will create mold in the jar over time. When you're finished you can seal up the jar, take down your circle or sacred space and decide what you'll be doing with the finished jar. 

Sweet jar basic guidelines

You want to use at least three different sweeteners. Sweeteners can be literally anything sweet. White sugar acts fast but doesn't last. Molasses, syrup, and honey all take longer to act but also last longer. You'll want to write out a petition and include a taglock. (I'll list taglock examples at the end of the post)
Some ingredients you can use include:
-Cinnamon for passion
-Cardamom for loyalty
-Dark chocolate for romance
-Milk chocolate for friendship
-Rosemary for fidelity
-Cilantro for marriage
-Clove for an aphrodisiac
-Rose for romance
-Cayenne for loyalty
-Basil for harmony
-Jasmine for an aphrodisiac
-Fruit for sweetness
-Candy for sweetness
-Brown sugar for sweetness
-Rose quartz
-Garnet
-Kiwi jasper
-Ruby in zoisite
-Jade
-Selenite

Money spell jar

Money spell jars are a little different because you'll want to put in your petition how much money you need if there's a set amount, along with something like "Money from good sources". You also might want to add in coins or even paper money, not a lot, a coin or 2 will do, if you choose to add paper money a dollar is more than enough. Some possible ingredients are:
Cinnamon
Basil
Chamomie
Mint
Honeysuckle
Alfalfa
Pine
Juniper
Alspice
Clove
Dill
Ginger

Taglocks

A taglock is something that ties a spell to a target. Some things you can use as taglocks are:
Their name or nickname written out
A photo
Bodily fluids
Hair
Finger or toenails
A personal item

Ways of disposing of spell bottles

To attract something bury it under your front step
To destroy it's influence, burn it.
To move away from you, throw it in running water.

Making a Money Bowl

 What is a money bowl? Who couldn't use some more money in their life? A money bowl is a bowl or other container filled with things to draw money to you. You can fill it with all kinds of things, there's no one right way to do it. below I'll go over how I do mine. Feel free to use it exactly how I write it or to change it up as you see fit! How I do my money bowl First I took a ceramic bowl & cleansed it with some incense. Then I drew sigils on the inside for things like "Money from good sources comes to me", "Money flows to me with ease" and "My Etsy shop makes sales". If you need a guide on how to create your own sigils, check out this post for all the details! This post contains a list of herbs & crystals for money if you don't have what I use or would just like to use something else. So after cleansing and adding sigils to my bowl I mix up some green salt. I do this by adding food coloring to plain salt as well as a few herbs

List of Effective curse, & hex ingredients

  When you may need this list.... We don't believe in the three-fold law, nor do we subscribe to the strictly love & light belief... That being said, sometimes a person will come into your life and cause so much damage you feel the need to give them some sort of payback in one way or another. That's when you may turn to casting a curse or hex on them. While we don't want to go around cursing people for every little slight against us, some people do absolutely have it coming. If you come across one of these people in your life, you may want to use this list to give karma a little push in the right direction. We hope to not actually need a list like this in life but it's better to be prepared if the time does come. Always include a taglock to tie the spell to your intended target . Taglocks include  Bodily fluids from the target,  Finger or toenails from the target,  The target's Hair,  A photo of the target,  Personal items of the target's,  Poppet to represe

What is a sigil? Sigils are symbols created to represent a word or phrase. They fall under "chaos magic" which encourages its practitioners to experiment and try new things. This is why you'll find so many methods for creating sigils. There is one strict rule to creating sigils, You must activate it. Other than that, it just has to feel right to you, the method, the phrase, the outcome, as long as it feels right to you it's the right way to do it. I'm sharing one method in this post but you can experiment with other methods as well or even take steps from different methods and create your own method. It's your practice, do things your way. First, how to activate your sigil To activate your sigil after creating it, you must destroy it. It seems counterproductive, but after you create your sigil, you can copy it into your grimoire to save it and then destroy it. You can do this by: Drawing it on paper or a bay leaf and burning it. *Bonus* you can add correspond
