How to Use Spell Jars for Protection, Abundance, Love and more!

Spell jars have been trending for a while now—and for good reason! These tiny jars pack a big magical punch, offering you a fun and creative way to manifest your intentions. Whether you're looking to protect your energy, attract abundance, or sprinkle a little love into your life, spell jars are like customizable, portable spells in a bottle.

The best part? You don’t need to be a witchy expert to make one. With the right ingredients, a dash of intention, and a little bit of patience, you can create a spell jar for just about anything. In this blog post, we’ll explore five powerful ways to use spell jars and give you some tips on how to make them extra magical.

What Are Spell Jars, Anyway?

In case you’re new here, spell jars are exactly what they sound like—mini jars filled with ingredients that symbolize and attract specific energies. Think herbs, crystals, and even personal items like a lock of your hair (if you’re feeling bold). These jars act as physical reminders of your intentions, which you can carry with you, place on your altar, or even hide somewhere discreet.

But remember: the magic doesn’t come from the jar itself—it comes from you. Spell jars are simply a tool to focus your energy and amplify your intentions.

1. Protection Spell Jar: Shield Your Energy

We all know someone who radiates bad vibes, right? (No shade, but… yikes.) A protection spell jar is a great way to create a boundary between you and any negativity trying to sneak into your life.

What You’ll Need:

  • Black salt (or regular salt if you don’t have it)
  • Dried rosemary or sage
  • A piece of obsidian or black tourmaline
  • A small piece of paper and a pen

How to Make It:

  1. Write your intention for protection on the paper—something like, “I am safe, secure, and surrounded by positive energy.”
  2. Add the ingredients to your jar, visualizing a shield of light surrounding you.
  3. Seal the jar with wax from a black or white candle (our ritual candles are perfect for this!).

Pro tip: Place your protection jar near your front door to guard your space, or keep it in your bag for on-the-go shielding.

2. Abundance Spell Jar: Attract Prosperity

Ready to call in those good vibes (and maybe a little extra cash)? An abundance spell jar can help you align with prosperity and attract opportunities your way.

What You’ll Need:

  • Cinnamon sticks or powdered cinnamon
  • Dried orange peel
  • A small citrine crystal
  • Gold glitter (because why not?)

How to Make It:

  1. Focus on your intention—imagine yourself thriving financially or achieving a specific goal.
  2. Layer your ingredients in the jar, visualizing abundance flowing to you with ease.
  3. Seal the jar with gold or green candle wax.

Place your abundance jar on your work desk or near where you keep your money (like your wallet or piggy bank) for a little financial glow-up.

3. Love Spell Jar: Attract Romance or Strengthen Bonds

Who doesn’t want a little extra love in their life? A love spell jar can help you attract new romance, deepen existing relationships, or even practice more self-love (because that’s the real MVP).

What You’ll Need:

  • Rose petals
  • Dried lavender
  • A piece of rose quartz
  • A strand of red or pink thread

How to Make It:

  1. Visualize your intention—attracting a partner, deepening a connection, or falling head over heels for yourself.
  2. Add your ingredients to the jar, tying the thread into a small knot to symbolize connection.
  3. Seal the jar with pink or red candle wax.

Pro tip: Keep your love jar in your bedroom or on your altar to keep the energy flowing. And if you’re manifesting self-love, light one of our deity candles dedicated to Aphrodite while you work on your jar.

4. Confidence Spell Jar: Step Into Your Power

We all have those days when we need a little boost of confidence (hello, imposter syndrome). A confidence spell jar can help you stand tall, speak your truth, and own your power.

What You’ll Need:

  • Sunflower seeds or petals
  • A small carnelian crystal
  • Dried ginger or cayenne pepper (for a fiery kick)
  • A pinch of gold or yellow glitter

How to Make It:

  1. Visualize yourself radiating confidence and feeling unstoppable.
  2. Layer your ingredients in the jar, focusing on that empowering energy.
  3. Seal the jar with yellow or orange candle wax.

Carry your confidence jar with you when you’re heading into a big meeting, presentation, or even a first date. And don’t forget: our intention candles can help you keep that flame of self-belief burning.

5. Calm Spell Jar: Find Peace and Balance

Life can get wild, and sometimes, you just need a moment to breathe. A calm spell jar is perfect for grounding yourself and finding inner peace.

What You’ll Need:

  • Chamomile or lavender buds
  • A small amethyst crystal
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Blue or silver glitter

How to Make It:

  1. Think about the kind of peace and calm you want to create in your life.
  2. Add your ingredients to the jar, imagining a wave of tranquility washing over you.
  3. Seal the jar with blue or white candle wax.

Place your calm jar on your nightstand or in your meditation space to help you unwind after a long day. And for an extra soothing ritual, try pairing it with one of our wax melts in calming scents.

A Few Tips for Making Magical Spell Jars

  1. Infuse Your Energy: The most important ingredient in any spell jar is your intention. Take your time, breathe deeply, and focus on what you want to manifest.
  2. Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh herbs, genuine crystals, and ethically sourced materials will amplify your magic. (Hint: our shop has plenty of supplies to get you started!)
  3. Don’t Stress About Perfection: Your spell jar doesn’t have to be Instagram-worthy to work. It’s the energy you put into it that matters most.
