Spell Jar Basics: Creating and Tailor-Making Your Own Spell Bottles & Jars
(Hello again, everyone! I’m back after a long hiatus - it feels good to be witching again!)
Spell jars are a great and easily modifiable way to do “slow-cooker” magic-stuff that doesn’t require a lot of active participation time, but the combined result is just as - if not more-potent.
THE COMPONENTS: THE JAR
You’ll need a jar, first of all - the size and shape of which should correspond to your intent, ideally. For smaller,”single-burner” spells, you might want a small, corked bottle you can balance a spell candle on. If you were to make a witches’ bottle for protection, you’d want something a little bigger, to hold all the ingredients, and probably something in an amber or other more opaque tone, so you can’t see inside.
Ideally, your jar or bottle would have a lid, for various spell-mechanics purposes-using the jar as a sealant, keeping the contents together while you shake it, and so on.
FILLING THE JAR
Next, you’ll need the components for the “spell” part. Assemble harmonious ingredients that are correspondent to your intent - for instance, if I were to assemble a spell bottle for balance, I’d try to grab some herbs and reagents correspondent to my intent (coriander, sea salt, and so forth), that are mostly yellow (the color I correspond with balance), and, perhaps, keep it down to 5 ingredients, which is the number I correspond with balance.
Fill the jar or bottle with these ingredients-this is you doing the prep work for your spell! If you intend to shake the contents to reactivate them every so often, for instance, you’d want to leave a bit of room at the top.
You might want to add some extra oomph to your jar for more heavy-duty spells, like tying correspondent ribbon around the jar, or inscribing a sigil or planetary symbol on it.
CASTING THE SPELL
Now that your spell preparations are complete, you’ll need to pick a good time to perform your spell, and choose a way to “activate” it - that is, a spell mechanic to set your intent in motion and do the actual “casting”.
For timing, you’ll want to pick something that,again, corresponds with your intent: You can use the waxing and waning tides of the moon to draw or remove something from your life, use sunsets and sunrises for manifestation and banishment, cast at high noon for an elemental fire influence, or on a clear, dark night for an honorary jar for Nyx - do a little research and listen to your gut!
As for the casting, you have a number of ways to go about it. Here are a couple of popular methods you can pick, mix, and match (but remember, you can always invent a more appropriate method for your own spell!):
Sealing with a Candle: An effective way to complete and cast your spell, with the added bonus of sealing in the contents of your jar for permanent magick. Choose the color of your candle according to your intent, inscribe it with a rune or sigil, anoint it with oil, or/and customize it in any way you see fit to correspond it with your intent and with the contents of the jar. Burn the whole candle at once to cast a spell in one go, or light the candle a little bit every night during the waxing or waning moon to draw or rid, respectively.
Burying the Jar: For spells involving the earth, staking a claim on your own property, magic you don’t want to reverse, or jars honoring cthonic spirits, bury your jar in the dirt, whether it’s in your yard or in a container.
Reversible Spells: Leave the jar’s lid or cork unsealed by wax, but firmly pressed on, perhaps with a string or ribbon to seal the magic in instead. If you ever have need to reverse the spell, you can open up the jar, safely unenchant and dispose of its contents, and clean out the jar with salt and water for later.
Recastable Spells: Leave a generous portion of room in your jar or bottle before sealing, and give it a vigorous shake when you want to re-cast.
Now go forth, and cast!
If you do make any spell jars, I totally want to see them! :>

"I am worthy of trust." -Wicca Oracle (Lo Scarabeo)
Hi everyone,💖
I’ve been diving into the world of witchcraft and spirituality, and I’m discovering that while I have a deep belief in spirits, energies, and the existence of different dimensions, I don’t always see them—or feel them the way I expect to. I know there’s something more beyond the physical, and I’m starting to understand how lucid dreaming, clairvoyance, and intuition can all play a role in tapping into that hidden world.
But, here’s where I’m at—I can sense it, and I believe it, but the experience still feels just out of reach. I feel energy, have intuitive flashes, and sometimes, I wonder if I’m missing something crucial. How do I begin to bridge the gap between belief and actual experience? Is there a way to truly connect with spirits or sense other dimensions more clearly?
I’ve been thinking a lot about fairies and nature spirits, too. I feel a pull toward them but haven’t quite figured out how to build a relationship with those beings. I would love to hear from anyone who has explored these things more—how did you nurture that connection?
I guess my biggest question is: How do you begin to truly see the unseen?✨
Any guidance or stories would be so appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Round or oval stones symbolize the feminine as they represent the female reproductive system, and pointed stones symbolize the masculine as they represent the male phallic side. ............................................................................................ Make a Wish: While you are in the river you can grab a stone and make a wish, while you do so focus on your wish and visualize how it has already materialized. After this, throw the stone with all your strength, go and don't look back.

how to load and clean quartz
1: put it in the water This is because water helps to clean, which is why it is used in cleaning "spells". but this cannot be done with all quartz because it could be damaged. so it is important to find out well. 2:put it on the earth this is so that the quartz discharges all the accumulated energy and it also helps to charge you with the energy of mother earth. 3:put it "near a candle" this because fire is a symbol of purification and helps to purify and clean the accumulated energy of your quartz. 4:put it in a place where the moonlight hits it to charge it with lunar energy. 5:put it in a place where sunlight hits it to charge it with solar energy. 6:put it in "lunar water". 7:put it in "solar water".

other data to take into account:
*it is better to collect it before the sun "rises".
*this is so it cannot be touched by sunlight,porque no lo puede tocar la luz solar.
*not all crystals or (quartz) can be added with water as this could "wear out" or "dilute"
I want to add one thing that may be a bit obvious
but it is necessary to remember.
They can substitute one candle for another in case they don't have it in hand when they need it.
for example: if you are going to do something related to love, you would normally use a pink candle but you can substitute a red candle.

💀Atropa Belladonna💀
Atropa Belladonna
Atropa means "cruel or inexorable"
in Greek, logically alluding to the deadly properties of the plant. It is also called "beautiful woman" because before women used to use parts of this plant to make a solution that they used to put in their eyes to dilate the pupils and make them "bigger" and "attractive" for men. this plant is associated with Saturn and Venus.
voodoo dolls.
Voodoo dolls are generally made or made with cloth and filled with cotton. but they can be made of any other type of material. such as: with corn leaves or wax. on New Orleans they do it with wooden sticks and they fill it with Spanish moss, cover it with cloth and finish making the details. and it has different uses, it is not only to inflict damage. It can be used to represent a person and help him with health problems for example. or any other kind of problem. You can also fill in with specific things: *personal "objects". *or some "herbs". and put more details if you wish. Or you can use it to make a representation of yourself and this in turn will be an "extension" of you and you can put it on your altar. so that a part of you is "accompanying" to the altar. Before using it, in general, before using it, it is "baptized" in the name of the person who is going to represent the doll.
and it is made "holy water".
or with any other type of water that is used within the "magic".
Altar of the ancestors(altar of the dead)
when making the Altar of the ancestors it is necessary to take these things into account: 1:not place it on the ground because it is believed that this attracts the "low astral" 2:the altar must be colaco on a base or place that is wood 3:If you are going to place a tablecloth, it is best to be white and "bright" or "happy" colors, but never in dark colors or black. 4:when placing photos of the ancestor he has to be alone, he cannot be accompanied by people who are still alive. 5:you can place offerings such as things they used to enjoy in life. like food, some garment or flowers. 6:you should always refer to them with great respect. 7:not ask them for things like they were some kind of "Genius" I mean asking them for help in situations that really deserve them. you can tell them to guide you, advise you or guide you. 8:you can also place some "religious" images or objects although this is not mandatory .
