Spell Jars 101: Bottled Magic for Modern Witches

🧂 What Are Spell Jars?

A spell jar is a small container (typically glass) filled with magical ingredients chosen to amplify your intention. Herbs, crystals, salt, oils, charms, paper sigils, and personal items can all be layered inside to create a symbolic, energetic beacon of your desire.

  • Love Jars: Rose petals, honey, cinnamon, quartz, personal taglocks
  • Abundance Jars: Basil, bay leaves, gold glitter, green aventurine
  • Dream or Peace Jars: Lavender, amethyst, moon water, chamomile

✨ How to Make a Spell Jar

  1. Set your intention – be clear and focused
  2. Cleanse your jar with smoke, salt, or moonlight
  3. Add your ingredients with care and intention
  4. Seal the jar with wax, ribbon, or a sigil
  5. Charge it with moonlight, breath, or words
  6. Store, carry, or bury depending on your spell’s purpose

📌 Spell Jar Tips

Potion Making Ritual Workbook

Craft Your Magical Elixirs with Intention and Care


Welcome Potion Crafters

Potions are one of the oldest forms of witchcraft, a blend of intention, nature, and alchemical transformation. This workbook guides you through potion creation rituals, ingredient magic, and journaling prompts to deepen your craft.


Section 1: The Magic of Potions

  • Potions channel energy through physical ingredients.
  • Every herb, crystal, or liquid carries symbolic and energetic properties.
  • Intentions infused in potions amplify their power.

Section 2: Basic Potion Crafting Ritual

Step 1: Preparation

  • Cleanse your workspace with smoke, salt, or sound.
  • Gather tools: cauldron, jar, stirring stick, fresh water, herbs, crystals.

Step 2: Set Your Intent

Clearly state your potion’s purpose aloud or in writing.

Example: “This potion brings calm and clarity to my mind.”

Step 3: Choose Ingredients

Select herbs and crystals that match your intention (see Section 3).

Step 4: Infuse Your Energy

Hold each ingredient and visualise your intent flowing into it. Stir clockwise to attract, counterclockwise to banish.

Step 5: Charge the Potion

Use breath, chant, or a simple mantra while stirring.

Example Chant: “Peace flows deep, my spirit keeps.”

Step 6: Seal and Store

Place the potion in a clean jar, seal it, and label with purpose and date.

Lavender Calm, peace, protection Use dried or fresh in potions

  • Never ingest unknown or toxic herbs without expert knowledge.

  • Always respect natural ingredients and local harvesting laws.
  • Intent matters—always work with respect and consent.

Section 5: Journaling Prompts

  • What personal energies do I want to enhance or transform?
  • Which ingredients resonate with me?
  • How do I feel during potion making?
  • What effects do I notice after using potions?
