Jar spell tips
-If you don’t have a jar, paper roll tubes sealed at each end will work too!
-You don’t always have to use wax to seal. If you don’t/ can’t have tealights and candles, tape works too
-If you are using herbs, I recommend using the dried supermarket prepped ones, the sort you can easily find in the kitchen. They also last longer in the jar compared to fresh
-If you do use fresh that’s been sitting in a jar for a while, or find the spell is wearing out, empty everything out, clean the jar well with hot soapy water and then you can refill with new herbs and ingredients (make sure the jars completely dry to prevent moisture)
-You can put anything in a jar. Objects, paper, glitter, anything. It doesn’t have to include any herbs or plants, they are just an option as is everything else!
-Get creative! You can decorate your jars and spell vessels with paints, pens, ribbons, anything you like to increase the intent and inject some personality
-If you use wax, white is the most universal colour choice for every intent; you don’t have to use specific colours if you can’t find them or have them on hand.
-If you can, find small cheap jars and stockpile as many as you can. You could have miniature jars perfect for carrying on your person, to pretty craft jars. I found some cute little jam jars for 49p each!
-If you intend to bury a jar spell, using biodegradable material instead of the jar is much safer i.e toilet roll tubes
-Have fun, enjoy making your spell jars and stay safe!
