Basic Warding Jar

thegreywitch:

p u r p o s e – To dispel, eradicate, and keep away negative and harmful energy.

s u p p l i e s

• various herbs and oils*
  (I used mugwort, mint, sage, parsley, eucalyptus, green tea, geranium oil, and sweet marjoram oil)
• jar with lid
• dragons blood incense
• permanent marker

*This is a very personal spell meant to protect you, your home, things that are important to you, so use herbs and oils that you personally associate with protection/cleansing!

1. Mix the herbs and oils in the jar.
2. Create a sigil that represents protection/safety/cleansing. Make sure it is simple enough that you can fit it on the lid of your jar. (Psst… here is a great tutorial on sigil crafting.)
3. Draw your sigil on the inside of your lid with a permanent marker so it doesn’t rub off.
4. Charge the sigil in your favorite way, then hold it in the smoke of the incense. Alternatively, if you have cone incense, you can burn it on top of the lid the sigil is drawn on.
5. Dump the ashes in the jar, and seal the lid.
6. All done! Now put the jar in a safe place, and charge periodically by shaking it.

• You can do the same thing in a smaller jar (like a baby food jar) and carry it with you, just make sure you seal it well!
• It wouldn’t hurt to recharge the sigil every so often and adding more dragons blood ashes to the jar.
