paint it in a color thats in line with your intent, or with symbols and images. This is not necessary,
but any little help can give you a boostplus, it keeps anyone who might stumble upon your jar
from seeing the contents.

Water can be used, but I dont really recommend plain water. At the very least you can make an
herbal infusion with it to give it more of a boost. I personally think heavily salted and blessed
water can be good for purification purposes, but beyond that I would avoid plain tap water.

Solids: Like with liquids, there are different types that you would choose from based on your
intent. With this, you can be pretty creative. For example, to break a curse, jar spells usually
include items like rusty nails and glass shards. To break up a couple, the caster might add some
cat hair and some dog hair to the mixto make the people fight like cats and dogs. Heartshaped glitter or confetti might go into a jar spell to draw love. In a money jar spell, you might
include some coins (preferably with the year of your birth printed on them). If I wanted to break
writers block, I might make a jar spell with a small pencil and roll of paper wrapped around it. You
might tie a ribbon around it to hold on to love, or to bind someone.
So basicallyuse your noggin and think of things that give off the kind of energy youre interested

in raising.
Two items that both magically powerful and easy to come by are crystals and herbs. You can find
a variety of them anywhere, and they are able to carry the energy that youll want to put into your
spell. Below I include two quick reference charts (one for herbs, one for crystals) that you can
refer to if youre new to working with these, however I highly recommend studying up and
familiarizing yourself with some basic herbs and/or crystals you might have access tothe more
you work with them and get a feel for them, the more skilled you will become at spellcraft.

This is a taper candle burning in the mouth of a bottle. Alternatively, place a votive or pillar candle on the
cap of a closed jar. Each time you burn a candle, let the wax accumulate and remain on the jar.
Candles
Candles are not necessary in jar spells, but I find it adds yet another boost of power if you
combine it with candle magic. Dress the candle of the appropriate color and burn it in the mouth
of the jar, or on top of the sealed jar letting all the wax melt down. You can burn multiple candles
on a jar over a course of time for an on-going project.
Words of Power
When I prepare a spell, I always like to plan a chant to say while Im casting it. Chanting is a great
way raising energy. You can find a chant in a book or online, or you can make up your own. It
doesnt have to be Shakespeare to be effective. Something simple like:
Money, money, come to me;
Help me pay these bills I see.
As long as it suits the occasion and is meaningful to you, itll work.
Rhythm and rhyming can help you memorize it quickly before you start, and then you can really
get into it like a mantra when youre casting. By letting it spill from your lips effortlessly, it
bypasses that conscious part of your brain and taps into your source of powerthat part of the
mind that sends the energy toward your goal.

5. Pick up one item at a time (or place it on your pentacle) and charge it. Charging empowers
the item with your personal intent, while stirring and stimulating the items own natural energy
that youre trying to tap. You might say something such as, By the power of Earth, Air, Fire
and Water; By the Power of the sun, moon and stars; With the blessings of the Goddess
Aphrodite, I charge you, rose quartz, to attract love to me.
6. As you add items to your jar, chant to raise power.
7. When youre finished filling your jar, you can seal it right away (and then burn a candle on it if
desired), or you can burn a candle in the open mouth of the jar.
8. Meditate on having acquired your goal (dont envision yourself wanting your goal, or you
leave yourself in a perpetual state of wanting; envision yourself having your goal. What will
life be like, how will you feel, when it is done?). Hold onto your visualization for about 20
minutes, or as long as you can.
9. Seal your jar, if you have not. The spell is cast.

you are seeking permanent protection or to break or repel a curse. This will stand sentry on
your property and protect you (or on the property of the person for whom you cast the jar
spell). If you dont have land of your own, you can bury it in a flower pot of soil left by your
doorstep.
you want your jar to be a magnet of sorts to continue draw things to you (attention, health,
wealth, etc.). Bury it on the property of the person youre casting for and be done with it.
you are casting a spell on another unbeknownst to them. Bury it on their propertyideally
somewhere they cross over every day, like beneath their doorstep.
If you were doing some major cursing to harm another, you could bury it in a graveyard (not
something I personally recommend by the way; but Im just passing on the information).
You are trying to rid yourself of something (or rid the person youre casting for of something),
like a disease or bad habit. Bury the jar at a crossroads, dont look back and ideally, never
return.
Hide the jar when
you want to bury it, but burying it is not an option. Hey, I am originally from New York CityI
understand you cant bury a jar easily when you live in an apartment. If this is the case, just
hide it deep in the home somewhereinside a wall, in the junk closet, or wherever it wont be
disturbed.
You plan on dismantling it sometime in the future, which when done properly will disengage
the spell.
Toss the jar in water when
using it to banish or exorcise any entities, or if you are working with any questionable
entities (again, not recommended, just passing on the information). Running natural water
sources will purify it and protect you from their return.
its successfully removed a curse, a disease, a bad habit, etc.; this is an alternative to burying
it at a crossroad. Keep in mind you could be fined for littering if youre just tossing stuff into
local waters.
*Tip: if it floats, puncture the cap with a hole, or tie it to a weight.
