Sour Jars

💋💘 Enhance Your Love- Jar Spell 💘💋

so i made this lil jar for me and my boyfriend, to enhance our love. (please dont use this for the intent of forcing love on someone that hasnt consented/wants something like this). anyway heres the materials i used and how i thrust my intentions and love into it;

💕 Ingredients (from bottom to top): 💕

pink salt (love, cleansing)

rosemary (protection, love, lust, purification, healing)

marjoram (protection, love, happiness, health)

chickweed (fidelity, love)

catnip (love, beauty, happiness)

senna leaf (love)

blue verbena vervain (aphrodisiac, protection, cleansing)

rose hips (love, peace)

💖 Materials: 💖

jar (i would use a heart shaped one for purely aesthetics but i dont have one)

red/pink candle to seal it; for love magic (additionally, you could seal it with red or pink ribbon or yarn or string)

white candle (optional) for purity/cleansing

tumbled rose quartz on top (for a calm flow of energy; love)

🔥 What to do: 🔥

💞 okay so first i lit my white candle and got all my supplies together and i was thinking about my boyfriend, and cute things and generally happy thoughts, and where i’d like to go further with our relationship. i put everything in the jar one at a time, still thinking about my intent (to enhance our love). that could either be our happiness or anything else that comes with a love spell (nsfw). HOWEVER, you can even talk to your jar, gush about your love interest, anything you want. you can put a taglock inside/around the jar too. i didn’t though, mainly because i keep the jar around things my boyfriend has given to me (love notes, doodles, etc.)

💞 next, drip the candle or tie your ribbon or string around the jar. think about how this is binding you together stronger than ever. about how much closer to your lover you’re getting and the warmth you feel from it.

💞 lastly, if you want to include this step, stick your rose quartz on the cooling wax to be the pinnacle of your jar, sending lovely soft vibrations of love. another additional thing you can do is leave the jar in the moonlight (full moon is best). im not wiccan or pagan, but of course you can incorporate an incantation or request help from a spirit or deity, or whatever you wish to do.

💞 lastly, you don’t have to follow this spell to a T. you can swap out anything you need to, add things if you need to or want to. this is YOUR love spell for YOUR lover and you can personalize this however you want! this is by no means a strict spell.

💞additionally, i would LOVE if you made something like this, or used this and sent me a photo of it or wrote a little message about it!💞

sunlight confidence spell jar

This is a powerful spell jar recipe for witches that need a confidence boost. Whether within the context of self-love and body acceptance, or if you need a little boost for a first date or a job interview, this jar will be an essential magick tool. You will need:

- A jar that seals well

- Ginger root (adventure, personal confidence, prosperity)

- Honeysuckle (strong confidence, intuition)

- Thyme (courage, strength)

- Gold glitter (power, radiance, happiness)

- Citrine (enlightenment, optimism, warmth)

- A small lock of your hair or other magical taglock to represent you

Allow the jar to charge in the sunlight as often as possible. The citrine in the jar will retain that energy and fill your space with an aura of confidence, self-love and courage.

This spell is designed to improve your insight into an existing relationship. Given the associations most people have for the ingredients, it tends to work best for clarity within a romantic or sexual relationship, but will work for friendships as well. It is a bit more physical than many spells and has multiple mechanisms of action.

Obtain lavender, jasmine, and rose blossoms. Do not use rose or jasmine petals - the spell is impossible if you use these. Instead, you want whole flowers. These are, surprisingly, widely available at health food stores and even occult retailers, and only a small amount is required. Just make sure you’ve got the full blossoms and not the petals! Use your intuition to decide how much of each to add, but the jasmine and rose blossoms should be added in a larger combined quantity than the lavender. The roses and jasmine are associated with the beauty and glory of love, and lavender adds a Mercurial element of clarity.

Place all of these in a small bowl, and find a quiet, relaxing place to sit, where you are comfortable and able to hold the bowl in your hands and manipulate it without spilling it. You may attempt to sink into a meditative state if that is customary for you when working magick, but it is quite possible to perform this with a normal relaxed state of mind.

Gently but purposefully, crush the blossoms and lavender, mixing them with your bare fingers. Don’t use a mortar and pestle. It is important to do this with your hands. As you mix, you will find that you come across the hard central parts of the flower, which are not colorful nor quite fragrant like the petals. 

Carefully, and with no sense of haste or desperation, remove these from the mixture and set them aside, perhaps in another bowl. These represent the irrational thoughts and feelings that cloud your judgment regarding your relationships, whereas the petals represent your pure love and good intentions. Remove the perturbing cruft from your relationship in the form of these worthless little chunks, but do so carefully, purposefully, and, above all, calmly.

When all or as many as possible are removed from the mixture, continue mixing it with your fingers until it is well-mixed and homogenous. 

Then, take the mixture and pour boiling water over it to create a herbal tea, perhaps adding a small bit of rose quartz or moonstone to add a gem elixir element. Drink it slowly Do not swallow the gemstone, obviously. If you do not use an infuser and prefer your herbal tea in loose leaf form, you might read the remainder of the leaves after you’ve consumed it in order to perhaps get a glimpse of how your relationship will develop in the future.

If you dislike the taste of any of these ingredients, consider placing the mixture in a small charm bottle, perhaps with, again, a bit of rose quartz or moonstone Present it your friend or lover, and explain what you’ve done. Make sure they understand that this was not a love spell in the traditional sense and acted on your own psyche alone.

And the clunky bits? Bury or dispose of them far away.

Be sure to research these herbs before you use them and do not go near them if you are allergic! Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or attempting to become pregnant, or have other concerns.

I hope this isn't rude, but I'm following a LOT of witch blogs. you being one of them. yet, when I look at the witch-related asks & answers for all of those blogs, other blogs are helpful and list spells and such. you just "no" whenever someone asks? Can I ask why you reject magic for a lot of your situations, considering you run a magic blog and are quite literally a creator of a magical how-to book?

simply because magic is not needed in every situation, nor is it advisable. recognizing when magic is and isn’t needed, or even a good idea is important in the life of the witch. 

here are a couple of examples of such:

things i have answered “no” to today:

bewitching your significant other (consent issues anyone?)

bewitching a non-signif to find out personal things (consent again)

asked for a spell for communicating with spirits (just because a skill isn’t developed doesn’t mean a spell will replace experience)

weight loss spells (dangerous and against my personal morals)

however, the one outlier i include is this, because it’s important:

easily google-able question (as stated in previous posts, i encourage people to develop their own research skills so they can grow in their craft when they reach an area of their path where there isn’t someone around to hold their hand and slip them the answers)

as for your “other blogs are helpful and list spells and such”, i’d like to direct your attention to the many posts of lists and ~stuff~ i make for people. such as the:

What to use when in Witchcraft -

Ok so I am gonna say this is my personal reference, its mainly through associations. You might TOTALLY disagree and thats chill!

Its more something to think about and a guideline of what I use myself…

Candle Magic:

Carve a candle when…. the candle represents the target, in sympathetic magic. When, essentially, the candle is a poppet and lighting it is a symbol of destruction or empowerment to the target.

Place something under the candle or before it when… you are doing general candle magic, when the candle represents empowering a wish, idea or concept.

Anoint the candle when… doing work with spirits and gods, when you mark the candle for a special purpose, when doing high magic.

Herbs and plant work:

Use dry herbs when… it is convienent to do so, when the herbs are out of season or when you need to store them in a jar or bottle for a long time.

Use fresh herbs when… the spell is very earth orientated, when doing magic on behalf of another or when the magic is sympathetic so that the herbs represent the target, within kitchen witchery.

Use flowers when… when the spell concerns love and sex, or perhaps fertility and attraction, due to flowers being the reproductive parts of the plant.

Use fruit when when… working with children as a target, or with children practising. When you work with fertility and abundance spells.

Use wood and twigs when… when the spell is for protection or binding, for hardiness.

Burn herbs (recaning/incense) when… you wish to cleanse or banish, or invoke an atmosphere - that being, for divination using herbs that are said to open up your perceptions, when banishing, burning acrid or pungent herbs.

Use oil infusions when… you wish to anoint something, when you wish to mark something permanently.

Use floral waters (rose water etc) when… dealing with spirits and gods, for glamour as it has a long history of being used to beautify.

Crystals:

Use metals (haematite, copper, ores etc..) when… you work in protection, when you do energy work due to the conductive properties of metal.

Use shell, pearl, coral and such when… you work in sea magic, when you work within emotional magic due to the element of water.

Use points when… you wish to direct magic to a target.

Use tumble stones when… you wish the magic to be gentle or manifest at a certain place on the body on a target.

Use geodes when… you work in protection, when you work with glamour aimed to obscure and hide.

Knot magic:

Use cotton when… it is convenient.

Use silk when… doing spells that benefit the target.

Use ribbons when… love spells and wealth spells, as well as confidence and beauty spells. Spells to ensure victory.

Use rope when… doing spells that aim to hurt or weaken the target, binding especially.

Poppets:

Use cloth when… the spell aims to benefit who the poppet represents, use particular care when sewing or cutting, choose colours that are appropriate to them.

Use wax when… you wish to manipulate the target.

Use clay when… wish to create fetches or servitors, when you wish to create permanency.

Use twigs when… you wish to bury or throw the poppet out, when you want the poppet to be easily destroyed by breaking or setting on fire.

Sigils:

Use an alphabet grid or circle when… you wish the sigil to be more random and less attached to you.

Combine the shapes of letters from a sentence… when your sigil is very specific and a short term goal.

Use your own personal symbols when… you want the magic to be connected to you, when it is personal.

🔮28 Day Witchy Challenge🔮

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a beautiful day! I have decided to make a 28 Day Witchy Challenge Post. This can be started at the beginning of the month or at any time. It’s whatever you prefer.

This is geared towards all witches, new and old. This challenge is focused on taking care of you and your witchy self. I am starting off September with challenge one. I’d love to see or know if y'all do it!!

🔮 DAY 1 - Take time out of your day to think about, write about, or draw what your witchy self looks like. What they are into. Their favorite witchy activity. Any details you can possibly think of.

🔮DAY 2 - Take the day to meditate. It can be about anything or nothing at all. Let your mind wonder and do it’s thing. Journal about it and let things come to you.

🔮DAY 3 - BUY SOMETHING WITCHY! This challenge is all about self-care for you and your witchy self, so it can be as simple as spending a dollar at the dollar store or buying something elaborate online. If there is no way you can buy something, try to find something. For example, go to the woods/Park and try to find a mushroom for an offering.

🔮DAY 4 - Piggy backing off of day 3, MAKE SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR CRAFT. Like all of these days, it can be something big or small. You can make a set of runes or maybe make yourself a picture for your alter. Just make it for YOU!

🔮DAY 5 - Watch or listen to something witchy. Charmed, Practical Magic, listen to some witchy music, anything!

🔮 DAY 6 - Spend some time in nature! Whether it is sitting on your lawn or taking a hike, or even a walk through the park, just take time to appreciate nature and Mother Earth and all she had given us.

🔮DAY 7 - Let an entire candle burn. I know this may sounds silly to some of you, but I am the type of person that struggles with this (unless doing a specific spell). So, just sit with your candle and watch it burn. Feel free to multitask while doing this. Just try to focus on it now and again. It can be a birthday candle or a very large candle, whatever works for you.

🔮DAY 8 - Make a special cup of tea. If you’re not a tea drinker, try a different kind or hot coco or coffee. When making, focus in your intent. When drinking, focus on all the different flavors you taste and sensations you feel.

🔮DAY 9 - Journal about the elements and what they mean to you.

🔮DAY 10 - Make a list of new worst things you can try. It can be anything like talking more walks or a new spell!

🔮 DAY 11 - Journal about your deities/higher power. What they mean to you. If you don’t have any, then try to journal about the energies around you. What you feel and the power.

🔮 DAY 12 - Piggy backing off of day 12, write down/find a new way you can honor your deities or energies that you journaled about. And if it’s possible, do it! It can be anything from a leaf you found to an elaborate meal. It can be simply praying.

🔮DAY 13 - BATH OR SHOWER MAGIC! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to just take some time and take a magical bath or shower. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, or it can! Try to just focus your intent and maybe try a shower or bath meditation. There are a ton of different things here on Tumblr, so get creative!

🔮DAY 14 - Spell Jar!! There are a TON of spell jars on Tumblr and all over the internet. You can use those or make your own! They are very easy and great if you’re low on spoons!

🔮DAY 15 - Cook! If you aren’t able to cook due to physical reasons, or even lack of time, then try to eat something special. Regardless, cook or at least eat something that inspires you or harnesses your intent.

🔮DAY 16 - PRAYER! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to honor and show your intent. Ask even, for guidance, hope, strength, whatever!

🔮DAY 17 - Sky watching! You can watch the Moon and stars or just the clouds go by.

🔮DAY 18 - Journal about what magick means to you. Go into as much detail as possible.

🔮DAY 19 - SIGILS! Make your own sigil! Focus your intent and be creative! If there is no way you can come up with your own, then feel free to use one from the internet.

🔮DAY 20 - Alter time!!! Try to redecorate your alter! If you are in the broom closet, then maybe draw one!

🔮DAY 21 - Journal about ways you can, from now on, nurture yourself. Whether it’s teas, baths, putting on makeup, whatever! Make lists or just woke about the things you want to do!

🔮DAY 22 - Worry Stone! You can find one or make one or but one, it’s totally up to you! Which brings us toooooooooooo……

🔮DAY 23 - Cleanse and charge your items!! There are umpteen different ways you can cleanse and charge your items, just pick one! Please make sure that however you cleanse and charge your items, it is safe for them.

🔮DAY 24 - PLANTS! Take care of your plants, harvest a plant, buy a plant, even take some time to talk with your plants!

🔮DAY 25 - SCAVENGER HUNT! No, not literally. But, go find something that nature has given you. A mushroom, a leaf, anything! Place it on your alter and honor it! By honoring it, you honor Mother Nature and all that she has created. Including you!

🔮DAY 26 - Do a glamour!! This can be anything from enchanting your chapstick to make you feel loved or carrying a self-love charm bag. Get creative with it! Try to make your intent focus on love from yourself or self-confidence!

🔮DAY 27 -MAKE YOUR OWN SPELL! Literally, just have fun with this. Use your alter, use your journal entries and the internet and books! Get creative! Focus your intent and be specific! It can be low spoons or high spoons. Whatever works for you!

🔮DAY 28 - MEDITATE! Meditate about the past 28 days and all the work you’ve done! Think and focus on your craft and all the self-care you have worked for!

I hope y'all enjoy this! Please let me know if you do it! I’d love to hear y'all’s thoughts! Feel free to edit this however you want! Make it work for you! I hope all you lovelies are have a beautiful day/night! 💚

Love and light

Cait ✌
