Back in July, I was set upon the task of working some magick. I had the urge to make a small protection jar, but I was worried I didn't have the materials for it and kind of put it off. It kept nagging at the back of my mind, which I'm pretty sure was the Old One, nudging and reminding me to get it done. So, I got it done. I was also supposed to post it here on my blog after I finished it, but life with two Littles got in the way and I'm finally just getting to it now. Yeah... my track record isn't so great right now with keeping up with tasks He sets me on. Little Lady had her cleft lip surgery done last month and it's been a struggle getting back to our normal routine. The surgery went great though and she's all healed up. I just wish she would start sleeping through the night again. But that's what coffee and Red Bull are for I suppose...
Also, if you're looking for me to give a run down on the history and uses of spell jars and what not, you are sadly out of luck. There is a plethora of information on the interwebs for you to consume/enjoy without me having to drag you through it. I know you're here for the good stuff and I'm a big fan of just getting to it.
Now, on to the witch crafting!! With pictures!!
3 nails & 6 thorns
My little jar all filled up.
Don't mind the dusty altar. Ahem.
All sealed up and ready to charge
Such beauty
Take a small jar (this is a 20mL jar w/ cork I got on on Amazon in a 20 pack)
Add some sharp things like nails, pins, brambles, thorns. Anything sharp/fierce looking
Add protective herbs of your choice (agrimony, rosemary, mugwort, black pepper)
Add alternating layers of white and black salt (or all white if you only have that)
Fill it with fierce, protective energy. Tell it what it needs to do.
Cork it and seal with red/black wax
Keep it on your altar, bury/hang it next to your front door, hide it somewhere it won't be found.. whatever works in your practice. There really is no one way. Mine sits on my altar and will be buried before Winter comes.
