I was recently asked what to do with a spell jar once it’s made. I thought my answer would be simple, but the more I wrote, the more I realized it wasn’t. So here’s a guide for those that need it showing what to do with different bottles depending on your intent.
Positive influence on yourself or in your life: -Place somewhere you will see it very often, like a sunny window, bedside table, desk, or altar. Seeing it every day will help strengthen your intent and remind yourself why you made it. -Place somewhere that you meditate. If you meditate regularly you can take a few moments during that time to hold the jar and focus on the spell, the result that you want, and how to help make that happen. -Keep it on your person throughout the day. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will act as a conductor for the positivity that you want.
Beauty/Glamour: -Place on vanity or in bathroom. Placing it at the central point of your daily beauty routine will maximize the use of the spell bottle. -Keep in makeup bag/kit. Keeping it in a container with all of your beauty supplies will infuse it’s intent with everything inside. -Stash inside your dresser or closet with the clothes that correspond to your spell (date clothes, party/club clothes, formal wear, lingerie). -Bury in a pot of flowers and keep by a mirror you use for your daily beauty routine. Flowers are a universal symbol of beauty and having something living channel your spell makes it much stronger. -Keep it on your person throughout the day. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. Keeping the jar close to you will help influence the beauty spell/glamour longer and stronger.
Weight Loss/Gain and Exercise: -Stash inside your gym bag/locker. It will serve as a boost right before you work out. -Keep with your food. If you are using it to control eating habits, keep it in your pantry/fridge IN FRONT of all of your food. It will be a barrier between you and your food. You’ll have to get past the jar before you touch anything else. -Keep it on you’re kitchen table. If you are using it to battle eating disorders and/or increase your eating habits, place it where you eat all of your meals. -Take it with you while you move. If you like to ride your bike for exercise, use an unbreakable/break resistant bottle and tie it to your bike. If you like to walk/run with your kids in a running stroller, put it on the stroller where your child can’t reach it. -Store it with your work out clothes. The spell will bleed over into the clothes so that you have it whenever you put them on. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will influence you as well as remind you of our goals all day.
Influence Relationships: -Place in the heart of your home. If you are trying to influence your family or the relationships within, keep it where you’re family spends time together the most (kitchen, livingroom mantle, game room, dining room). If you can’t practice openly at home, use a container that is pretty and not see through, fill it completely so it doesn’t rattle, and glue it shut. That way, to everyone else, it will just be pretty decoration. -Give it as a gift. Decorate the bottle and give it as a gift to the person whose relationship with you, you want to influence. -Keep next to their photo. Keep it next to a photo of the person you wish to change your relationship with. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. The bottle will work it’s magic whenever you are around the specified person.
Health: -Stash in the bedroom. Placing the jar on your nightstand, under your pillow, or under your bed will allow health spells to work while you sleep, especially if you are bedridden. -Store with your medicine. If you have to take medication regularly, store it with your meds. -Keep next to your drinking water. If you use drinking water that isn’t from a tap, store the jar where you store your water. The spell will bleed into your drinking water to influence your health. -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. If it is on your person, it can influence your health all day, healing you or protecting you from an illness that is spreading.
Dreams: -Stash in the bedroom. Placing it on your nightstand, under your pillow, or under your bed will keep it close while you sleep so it can influence your dreams. -Store with your pajamas. Storing it with the clothes that you sleep in will infuse them with the spell’s energy (unless you sleep naked of course, but I don’t need to know about that).
Wards/Banishments: -Keep it on your person. If the jar is small enough, it can be kept on you inside a purse/bag, coat pocket, or as a necklace. It will act as a shield to keep away whatever you want. -Bury it in your yard. If you are just trying to banish something/someone from your life or ward them away from your home and family, bury it in your yard. It will act as a shield. -If you are trying to banish something/someone and send them far away from you, bury next to train tracks. -If you are trying to banish thoughts or habits or trying to forget something, bury it in a cemetery. If you can’t bury it in a cemetery, bury it somewhere in the woods and forget it’s location.

Good post except PLEASE DO NOT BURY SPELL JARS THAT ARE NOT BIODEGRADABLE!!! Be kind to the earth amd environment please!!
I don’t know how many tumblr witches know, this could be old news, but I found that this is the best place to get jars/bottles to feed my obsession! They have a bunch of different colors, but most of them are clear. They have different shapes and such, and they’re very very cheap, even the jugs !! In their FAQ they said it’s fine to even order just 1 bottle at a time, even though most people order a bunch at once. It’s honestly the best deal on high quality bottles and jars that I’ve found so far! I would honestly skip Amazon and go straight here. 10/10!
As a student, I often get overwhelmed by fear and anxiety for upcoming exams and deadlines. I tend to panic so much that sometimes I can’t stay focused on a single task for more than five minutes and I keep worrying about everything. I’m sure that a lot of you can relate to these feelings. I recently tried this easy jar spell for overcoming fear and for being successful in my studies. It has been very helpful and I feel way stronger and relaxed now.
🌙 You will need:
A glass jar (recycled is perfectly ok!)
Dried thyme for courage
Dried mint for protection
Bay leaf for academic success (if you have a leaf of a laurel crown from a graduation the spell will be very powerful!)
Sage for wisdom
Carnelian stone (optional)
A piece of paper and a red pen/marker
A lock of your hair, or a fingernail
A black candle
🌙 Casting the spell:
Take the black candle and, using a knife, carve the words “COURAGE SUCCESS POWER” on the candle. Then light it up.
Write your name and your birth date on the piece of paper with the red pen. If you know the exact hour of your birth, write that down too. (Quick reminder: never share your birth date and time with other people lightly. Doing so allows them to put powerful hexes on you!)
Fold the paper towards you three times.
Let a few drops of wax fall on the piece of paper to seal it completely, then drop it into the jar.
Grind the herbs together using a spoon or a pestle and then add them to the jar, along with the carnelian stone, and the hair or nail.
Close the jar and shake it up. While shaking, visualise yourself being successful and overcoming all of your fears and problems. Try to focus on positive thoughts and feelings.
Drop wax from the candle on top of the jar to seal it. As you do this, recite the first two verses of the Psalm 127: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves.”
Once the jar is sealed, put it away in a dark place and don’t touch it again.
Let the candle burn until it’s completely consumed.
Please note: This spell is most effective when cast under a waxing moon.
Feel free to personalise the spell! Let me know if it works for you.
Things You’ll Need: – Yellow Candle (productive energy to seal jar) *optional – Cinnamon or Cayenne pepper (success and energy) – Black Pepper (enhance energy) -Crushed Red Pepper (enhance energy) -Dried Lavender (healing, calm, anti-stress) -Dragon’s Blood Calcite/Red Calcite (enhance energy, grounding) *optional -Bottle
What To Do: Layer the ingredients, filling each with intent and energy. Once you’re done layering, seal the jar with the wax from the yellow candle. The crystal can be used to enhance the intention while your creating the spell jar. Just meditate with it for a few minutes.
*These are just some things I associate with gaining/enhancing energy. Change them if you need to. Also I put “or Cayenne pepper” because I had that originally, but didn’t realize I was out of it.
Good luck on your journey and sending you positive vibes!✌🏻🔮🍀
I made this jar because I couldn’t remember any part of my dreams, not even enough to write down. Nothing. This has helped. 🙂
Ingredients
—a white or purple candle
—a jar (I used a really small jar)
—mugwort (to remember dreams/vivid dreams)
—lavender (peaceful/healthy sleep)
—lemongrass (protection from nightmares)
What You Do
Light your candle with your intent. You want this to be burning while you are working, you will be needing the melted wax later.
After you cleanse your jar, put the mugwort in it. Use as much as you need, but I put more mugwort than the other ingredients because this is the main ingredient.
Then I put some lavender. I feel like its important to sleep soundly, and to have the ‘correct’ (I don’t have a better word) sleep so you can dream more easily.
Last you put the lemongrass. You don’t want some nasty nightmares.
Remember to visualize and feel your intent with each ingredient. Then you cork it and cover the top with the melted wax to seal it all up.
Place beside your bed when you sleep, keep it close to you, and it should help! I would still advise writing dreams down when you can remember them, that will help you remember them even more! This is just to help you get started!
This charm jar can also be charged when ever you feel you need the boost!
So I thought I would make a jar of mermaid dust to bring along with me wherever I go, also to put in my travel altar!
The point of it is to feel like I always have a little bit of the beach/ocean with me, as well as feeling close to my kin! 🐬
So here’s what’s in it:
✯(dry) beach sand
✯crushed various seashells I found myself
✯sea salt
✯incense ash
✯(dry) seaweed
How I made it:
✯spend a day at the beach 🏖
✯crush the seashells with either a mortar if you have one, or just use a rock (please be careful you get all the pieces as they could give you a nasty scrape on the foot if you step on it!)
✯mix in the sand, shell pieces, salt, ashes and seaweed (I bought mine at the grocery store!)
✯seal with wax if needed, or if you have a jar with a cork like mine, you’re good to go!
Happy swimming (: 🐚🐬🌊
Bonus: if you’re an Extra Sea Witch™, use a sea shell to scoop out your ingredients!
I wanted something more general and quietly supportive for the day-to-day for my first spell bottle, but a motivational one is definitely on my list. In this one, however, there is:
Himalayan rock salt for grounding
Rosemary for mental clarity
Cinnamon for protection
Dried lavender flowers for peace
Pink rose petals for sweetness and love
Pink wax for self-love
As I added each ingredient I said aloud its purpose. I sat with the stopper off for a little bit as I reflected on how I’ve been feeling lately and then began writing down my intentions and focusing on the bottle (I feel like it’s more tangible and powerful for me when I write things down somewhere). I then put the cork in and dipped it in the wax ~five times to get thick and even coverage over the top.
I’m incredibly proud! It sits on my desk when I’m at home and I put it in a separate pouch in my bag just in case the glass bottle breaks or the wax gets scraped too much.
I hope this was helpful or inspiring for you to make your own everyday bottle
