How Do I Disassemble A Spell Jar?

I’ve seen way too many posts about how to make one, but never any about how to take one apart.

If you buried your spell jar (or otherwise placed it somewhere not in your general vicinity), retrieve it first.

There are a few ways to go about disassembling a spell jar.

Throwing Everything Away

Returning It to Nature

Burning It

Putting It Into Another Container for Safekeeping

Retrieving the Reusable Ingredients (crystals, shells, etc.) and Getting Rid of the Rest

Throwing Everything Away

As simple as it sounds. I would recommend breaking the seal (melting it or even just stabbing it) before getting rid of it, to break the spell itself. Keep the jar and wash it or throw it away with the rest of it. Throw the contents into the trash (or a dumpster, if you don’t want it near you).

Returning It to Nature

Also very simple. Can only be used with natural ingredients. Do not dump in rivers. Retrieve any non-organic materials (crystals, shells, poppets, etc.) to either reuse or get rid of separately. Be sure it doesn’t include things that can harm the local wildlife.

Burning It

Empty the contents of the jar into a different, fire-safe bowl or plate. Then, burn it. Simple as that. Lighters or matches, it doesn’t matter. Be sure that you and any pets or family can inhale the fumes from it. This is usually used with spells that have little amounts of ingredients. Be sure to research fire safety and safety when it comes to burning herbs and other ingredients.

Putting It Into Another Container for Safekeeping

Transferring the contents into a different container. Usually done when you want to reuse the jar or size down the original jar. Break the seal, pour it into your other container, seal that, and you’re done. Super easy. Can also be used when putting a spell into a ‘dormant’ state.

Retrieving the Reusable Ingredients and Getting Rid of the Rest

What I see the most in the witch community. Reusable ingredients include crystals, shells, rocks, bones, and anything else that can be used again. Doing this is a bit harder when the jar has liquid. Break the seal and place the contents of the jar into another container. Then, pick out all of the reusable items, the ones that you want to keep. Wash them and dispose of the contents of the jar through one of the methods above.

Notes

When disassembling a spell jar, it’s always good to declare the intentions of the jar done (or dormant). If the spell could have negative consequences on your or someone else’s life, be sure to neutralize the energy you have put into the spell. Cast a counter-spell or just neutralize the spell. Please tell me if I missed anything!

- Use it to clean your home with to banish spirits, get rid of bad mojo, or break hexes or curses upon the property

- Offer it to deities affiliated with the moon, as it is ruled by our moon

- Use when working with the fae

Let me know if you have any other ideas :)

Blessings my beautiful witches, and may the love of the goddess be always in your hearts  )O(

Sea shells and witchcraft

Photo

Seashells are a very special magical material - a beautiful gift from the Earth and the Sea. Seashells are found in the secret space between these two realms, only revealed when the tides change.  They are treasures of an invisible world.

Whether plain brown or white, or cascading in a rainbow of colors, each seashell brings a message to whoever is lucky enough to find it.

What are seashells?  They are the tough, protective exoskeletons of marine molluscs.  Soft-bodied invertebrates create their own shells from minerals in their bodies and from the sea. Each creature makes a shell that will be its home for life.  For this reason, seashells can be seen as symbols of independence, loneliness, and self-reliance.

Not only are they essential to marine life, but seashells rival anything man-made in beauty, strength, and mathematical precision.  (The outward curve of a Nautilus shell follows the famous Fibonacci sequence.) The shapes and patterns are not random, they have been passed down to

countless generations.  It is difficult to contemplate a seashell without being impressed by the power of ancestral memory and divine creativity.

Seashell Matches

Every child knows that if you hold a seashell to your ear, you can hear the ocean.  Naturally, shells are often used on the pagan altar to represent the Water element.  Seashells also correspond to Venus (the planet and deity) and the Moon, which gently throws them to shore with each tidal cycle.

For millennia, seashells have been the symbol of feminine beauty.  Their pinkish-white colors are reminiscent of the blush of a fair complexion, and some shells resemble women's breasts or vulva.  When Botticelli painted the goddess of love floating on a raft of seashells, he cemented centuries-old correspondence into an indelible image.

Cups, mirrors and combs are often made with shells (or shaped) in keeping with the Venusian look of shells.  The use of shells in necklaces dates back to the Stone Age, although we have no way of knowing whether these shell artifacts were used for male or female adornment.

But seashells aren't just about beauty.  Seashells are also linked to prosperity and abundance.  They have long been an important religious symbol for coastal dwellers who feed on the sea. Seashells have also been used as currency by many cultures around the world.  There are probably billions of seashells in the ocean, but it's always special and lucky to find a perfect seashell laying in the sand.

Despite their family resemblance, different types of seashells have different properties in magic.  Generally speaking, seashells symbolize mystery, divinity, love, and prosperity, but each type has its own nuances.

Magic shells

The natural cup shape of many seashells makes them perfect for holding objects!  Seashells make perfect small dishes for incense, sand, crystals and herbs.  Cleaned shells can also contain food or drink for rituals.

Abalone shells are a very popular choice for sage fumigation.

The shell serves either to catch the ashes or to hold the burning herbs.  (Some people think the latter use is inappropriate - that it is disrespectful to place fire in a container of water.) If you are burning herbs or incense in a shell, put a thin layer of sand on the bottom  to help distribute the heat and avoid burning the shell.

The shell is sometimes cut into thin slices and used to decorate pendants, bowls, or just about any flat or curved surface.  A shell-covered box or mirror could be a beautiful tool for a water witch's altar.  Small shells or shell tiles can be incorporated into the handle of a wand or ritual knife.

Of course, the most popular way to use seashells is in their natural, unmodified form.  Large shells can be placed on your altar or used to decorate the interior and exterior.  Smaller seashells make beautiful jewelry.  (Some even have natural holes for threading!) You can add seashells to magical wind chimes, mojo bags, or incorporate them into charms and amulets.

Find your own seashells

It's a fact: Seashells you collect yourself are nicer than the fanciest purchases in the store.  If you're lucky enough to live near a beach, find out what types of seashells are available on your local shores.  Or go at the first low tide and see what you see!

If you are purchasing shells, please purchase from responsible sources.  Small, common seashells are the best bet.  The bigger and shinier the shell, the more likely it is to come from a slow-growing or over-hunted animal.  The illegal export of rare shells is big business that funds environmental plunder, organized crime and labor exploitation.

Certain types of sea life have been making seashells in more or less the same designs for millions of years.  Seashell shapes are timeless and sacred.  They were here before humans and will probably outlive us.  Here are some of the most common seashell shapes and their magical lore:

Abalone

Photo

The Abalone shell incorporates all the colors of the sea and sky. The inside of the shell is coated with nacre, the same substance in pearls and mother-of-pearl.

Abalone has been an important food source for tens of thousands of years. The shells represent the giving power of the Mother Ocean. The iridescent hue promotes feeling of abundance, peace, and compassion.

Abalone shells have an especially sacred meaning in Native American and Polynesian religion. Most people are familiar with Abalone as a vessel for Sage smudging, a Native American spiritual practice.

The vibrant color and natural luster of Abalone shell makes it ideal for jewelry and ornamental objects. Wearing an amulet of Abalone is said to impart a calming, spiritual vibration and to help the wearer work through emotional issues.

Scallop

Photo

The Scallop is perhaps the most familiar seashell shape. It has a sacred meaning in Christian Europe, dating back to the earliest pilgrims—many of whom would have been illiterate—who were guided to pilgrimage sites by the Scallop emblem. The Scallop is an emblem of Saint James the Apostle. It may be adopted as a badge by anyone who has undergone a spiritual quest. Scallop shapes may be discerned in countless Christian altars and cathedrals.

Art nerds will recognize the Scallop as the seat or carriage of many an ocean deity. Poseidon is depicted riding upon one, and Aphrodite floats to shore in a Scallop shell. The Scallop appears on Pagan altars as a symbol of the sea goddess and the element of Water. Use a Scallop shell as a chalice, offering bowl, or vessel for love magick. (The large and colorful variety found in magick shops is a warm-water species called Lion's Paw or Mexican Sea Scallop.)

The Scallop is distinguished from other shells by the multiple rays and ridges, converging on a single point near the base. To medieval Christians, this represented the varied paths of travelers on their way to a holy site.  To earlier humans, the Scallop’s rays may have resembled the Sun’s beams converging on the horizon at sunrise or sunset. This makes the Scallop an especially fitting symbol of Venus, who is called the Morning Star or Evening Star.  

Nautilus

Photo

The Nautilus is the nomad of the sea, traveling hundreds of miles on currents (and a raft of bubbles). The name means “sailor” in Greek. The Nautilus shell is an important symbol in sacred geometry and even mathematics—displaying a logarithmic spiral in its growth pattern.

Unlike some other shell creatures, the Nautilus does not shed or exchange its shell, but creates a large chamber for its body as it grows. The Nautilus shell is thus a symbol of growth and renewal. The outward spiral shape of the Nautilus suggests that it can keep growing indefinitely.

The Nautilus is one of the few sea creatures to have survived since the time of the dinosaurs. It is one of Nature’s true masterpieces. Meditate on a Nautilus shell, or use it in your magick of spiritual growth and expansion.

Auger

Photo

The Auger shell is an elongated spiral, with an opening at the base and a point at the tip. In the language of shells, the Auger is both masculine and feminine, representing completeness. There are hundreds of varieties worldwide.

Auger shells come from a type of predatory sea snail, and the aggression of the animal is implied by its narrowly focused shape. Augers possess a venomous tooth that is the terror of marine worms. In magick, Augers are one of the only shells that may be properly attributed to Mars. Augers are popular for headdresses, magick wands, and protective charms.

Cowrie

Photo

The familiar Cowrie shell is yellow or white and egg-shaped, with two rows of teeth along a central gap. Cowrie shells have appeared as currency, decoration, and religious items in nearly every part of the world.

Owing to its shape, the Cowrie often represents the life-giving vulva. It is used in charms for wealth and fertility. Cowrie shells are strung onto necklaces or sewn into garments. Additionally, the shells may be used for divination. There are several distinct systems of Cowrie divination stemming from African and Afro-Carribean occult traditions.

Cowrie shells are admired for their fine natural polish. Their glossiness symbolizes refinement and luxury. The Italian word for Cowrie is porcellana (“little pig”)—from which we derive the word porcelain.

Starfish

Photo

Not technically a seashell, Starfish are nonetheless available at many a beach seller’s stall. The Starfish is a spiny sea creature whose dried body forms the shape of a star. They are symbols of heavenly power, renewal, and good luck.

Because of their resemblance to the heavenly stars, the Starfish has an affinity with various sky Gods and Goddesses. How amazing to uncover a star within the depths of the seas! (As that old thrice-great Egyptian guy says, “As above, so below.”) As a (usually) five-pointed creature, Starfish are also linked to the Pentagram and the number 5, the number of Man. No wonder the Starfish speaks to the mystic's heart.

Biologists will tell you that Starfish are exquisitely sensitive animals. Its nervous system radiates from the center and extends through each limb, allowing it to explore the ocean floor with grace and ease. Starfish are symbols of instinct and intuition. As a totem or amulet, Starfish reminds a sensitive person to adapt and thrive within their surroundings.

Starfish possess the superpower of being able to regrow a missing limb. Use them in charms for strength and recovery from trauma.

Shells can teach us many things and can be used as tools to help you meditate, manifest, and create magic in your life. 

Whether you already have a vast collection of seashells or plan on starting one next time you're near the sea, keep these magical uses for shells in mind.

Wealth Binding Spell

Bind wealth and financial prosperity to yourself with this very simple spell.

Materials:

Candle wax or glue

A penny (a birth year penny would enhance the bond)

A place to hide the charm (I like the underside of the kitchen table)

Take your penny in hand and recite your favorite money spell – I like the King Soon Money Mantra . Then say “I bind wealth to myself, as I bind this penny to _________.” Use the wax or glue to stick the penny to its hiding place.

The chandler’s version:

To bind success to your candle business, take a candle jar (with lid) and dedicate it to this spell. Every time you make a candle, take some of the melted wax, pour it in the jar, and toss in some coins. How many and what type is up to you. Say:

“I pour money into this jar as I poured it into my business. The money here grows as I grow my business. I bind financial success in this wax, and I grant it to myself as a reward for my work.”

When the jar is full of wax and coins, use wax to seal the lid onto the jar. Bury it in your yard, by the kitchen door, or hide it in the back of your pantry.

Spiritual Protection Types, and Why We Need It So Much

Unless you are new, you have probably endured many witches and practitioners emphasize the importance of mastering protection. It is a lot like carrying a self-defense tool, you are preventing something from happening before it happens to you in your most vulnerable state.

DISCLAIMER: This is based mostly on my personal experiences and own research as a practicing witch. Everyone has their own methods, you do not need to agree with me.

If you would like to support my endeavors, check out my profile! I had to retype this 3 times because I didn't save and would appreciate support

What is Spiritual Protection?

Spiritual protection takes several forms. It can be a crystal in your pocket, a jar, a sigil, a sign from a tarot card, a talisman, a ward, a bind, etc.

Basically, spiritual protection is ANYTHING meant to protect you, your loved ones, your sacred spaces, or living spaces.

First and foremost, we must discuss different categories of protection.

Prevention

Not giving room for the energy to enter to begin with. Some of us know the shock of interacting with a negative energy all too well, and in my experience, any negative energy makes it stronger. This makes an influx of positive energy so much more important and valuable

I see us and spaces all as having a limited capacity for energy, just like we have a limited capacity for anything. If there is too much positive energy, there will be no room for the negative energy to enter, let alone negative energy for them to fuel themselves.

Purification

Getting rid of the bad/boring/used energy that no longer serves us is purification. Some of us will practice purification by smoke cleansing, which is my personal favorite. Others will use baths, or protective oils to purify their energy. Energy that has stuck around too long feels like monotony to me, and when I feel monotony, I always cleanse.

Defense

There are a couple of different ways you are able to defensively protect yourself from negative energy. Warding is my preferred method, so we will discuss that first.

A ward can be a metaphorical wall, or an energy sponge, regardless of how you use it, it keeps everything you don't want out. Wards have to be scripted or programmed beforehand, in my experience. The more detail/work you put into them, the stronger they get. You can make them like Jell-O, or like concrete. They can allow any energy, no energy, or only certain energies to enter. The bounds to wards are endless, the only downside is trying to figure out when to charge them. (I recommend using the sun or moon to charge them, using yourself later on, charging them once a week). A more in depth post on wards is coming later.

Setting boundaries is another way to defend yourself, they allow us control in our relationships and interactions. They are exactly the type of boundaries you are thinking of, physical and mental (or psychic) boundaries. Developing strong boundaries is crucial to most relationships, not allowing toxicity to interfere with the beautiful relationship you have. Physical boundaries may be a salt line or circle, while mental may be shielding or cleansing.

Offense

I don't recommend beginners to start by working with offensive protection, unless absolutely necessary. I do not use offensive protection unless I genuinely feel that I am in harm's way.

This is a type of protection that will hunt the perpetrator down, regardless of whether or not it is a known energy or being. Sometimes simply casting chaos into the world is enough for the energy to leave you alone for a while, but other times, it is to keep the energy at bay. Hexes are considered offensive protection by some (me included).

Deflection

This is simply reflecting the energy sent onto you back onto the source, the most simple "no you don't" in witch history. Most commonly, deflection is done through Return To Sender workings, and when the energy or being is returned it is stuck to them.

Some witches can sense when negative energy is on their way to them, others find out through readings. Mirror Boxes are great for deflecting, along with sigils or witch balls.

Divine or Spiritual Protection

Calling upon protective deities, guardians, familiars, etc. to protect a person or space can be done through regular offerings to them. The offerings signify you still need their assistance, but this can very from being to being. All different beings can be pinned against each other in the name of protection, just ensure that they are stronger than whatever energy is trying to harm you. Many will set up altars or spirit houses as a way to visualize the agreement to work with the beings, making it special to the energy.

Thank you for reading my post until the end, and I hope it helps someone who needs it.

I used my own experiences and this link to learn about all of the different types.

Tasseomancy: I

Tasseomancy or Tasseography is the practice and process of using tea leaves or coffee grounds to forecast, understand, or improve upcoming or current events. This can be used for planning ahead, or for personal growth, healing and development. One nearly finished a loose herbal concoction, and then flips the remaining biological powders onto a small plate. They then scry based off of the shapes or symbols the leaves lie in. Below are aspects to consider whilst using this method of divination.

Symbolism:

There are numerous factors to consider from a representation approach. Which is why most use a plate and cup inscribed with key symbols with their corresponding location. That aside, animals, numerology, symbols, or signs also are important to be considered by the placement of the herbal remains as well.

Directions:

Most practitioners divide their cup into segments of based off of the directions, zodiac signs, planetary symbols, and elemental aspects. Hence, the beautiful aesthetic from the almanac or legend of a Tasseography tea-set. Considering that each direction has its own element and meaning in countless cultures across the world, there is many ways to interpret this from the Feng Shui’s Bagua map, the Pentagram’s legend, or Earth Medicine calendars. In a way, Tasseography is its own almanac.

First Glance:

The first thing you notice or recognize as a symbol is something that is important to consider, although should not be your only takeaway. Intuition at its finest will help provide clarity because your first sight is just as important as your analyzed inquiry. Once both are considered and potentially seen as a synchronization, you will have your takeaway.

Horizontal:

Considering this element is massively important because it is the method or process of seeing one’s entire life in a past, present, and future manner. This can be an essential aspect for those who are trying for introspection, emotional healing, or personal growth. The left is past influences, the middle is current events, and the right is upcoming occasions.

Tasseomancy

First of all we should say thanks to my good pal @norathewitchling​ for motivating me to learn something xd. Many may already know that i don’t know much of divination, I have my pendulum and i know scrying, no more. Do i wanna learn tarot/runes/etc? OBVIOUSLY, i dream with having a tarot deck.

But i can’t.

So here is another post of “let’s learn discrete divination with Roy 101″

What is tasseomancy or reading tea leaves?

Have you seen Harry Potter? If you have, you may have seen that scene in which the teacher tells Harry that he is fucked up because of some tea leaves. And yes, exactly that is what Tasseography is. 

*this is kinda of a long post so stick with me please xd*

Cartomancy quick reference guide

54 Devils: The Art and Folklore of Fortune-Telling with Playing Cards by Cory Thomas Hutcheson

[angellque]

Introduction to traditional playing card fortune-telling

Naughty children, today I shall be your good Ukrainian grandmother teaching you how to read playing cards - or, this is your introduction post to this list of meanings.

Begin with taking a new deck of cards; once selected for telling fortunes, it must not be used for games. It has to contain thirty-six cards, thus, if a full deck, take out the Jokers and cards two to five.

While every card has its own meaning, they follow certain general guidelines. Cards are to be read in groupings, modifying each other’s meanings, so start your practice with pairs and groups of three. Traditionally, the King and the Queen of the suit of Hearts are used as significators.

♥️ Love, emotions, relationships, joy, family; air; timing: springtime, morning, hours to days

♦️ Money, material possessions, physical health; fire; timing: summer, daytime, days to weeks; people young, unmarried, wealthy, in good health

♣️ Legal matters, social status, achievements, learning; earth; timing: autumn, evening, weeks to months; people middle-aged, married, benevolent

♠️ Sorrow, selfishness, cruelty, vice and loud, drunken festivities; water; timing: winter, nighttime, years; people over 55, with power or status, hostile or selfish

Ace - initiation, sudden happening, a place or an item

6 - a path, a time frame

7 - conversation, first steps of a process

8 - meetings, development of the process

9 - an event, first results, difficulties can be resolved

10 - full development of a process, something of interest

Jacks - accidents, news, lack of expertise

Queens and Kings - people or states

What's a taglock?

A taglock is a personal item that creates a link to the target of the spell.

If it's a person or an animal, it can be a photograph, personal clothing, something bearing their signature, a finger print, fur, wool, hair, nails.

If it's a location, it can be a key from the building, dust from a shelf inside, a stone from the pathway, a bit of chipped paint, a photograph.

If it's a business, it can be a business card, a stationery with their name, or something related with that specific business.

[angellque]

inconspicuous taglocks

for when you don't like, go in the person's house and can't rifle through their things without looking like a massive creep

Loose string on their clothes ("here let me get that for you")

Cigarette butts (makes you just look like a nicotine addict)

Used bottles, plastic silverware or cans (maybe you're really into recycling!)

Stolen lighters ("ill give this back to you later")

Printed photos (stalk the facebook)

Borrowed pen or pencil (bonus if theyve been chewing on it!)

Anything of theirs that they left behind, just say you'll give it back to them later.

Drawn or sculpted effigy (if you're a good artist) maybe a traced photo if you can't get a printer

Used menstrual products (gross but in the bathroom nobody can see and a very very strong taglock)

If you can get nothing but written information: you want the birth date and full name. You can get a playing card, write the name across the top, birth date across the bottom, and baptize it in the name of the person.

Things to avoid

Piss and shit. Thats not sanitary like... Piss is sometimes used as a taglock for men but its hard to collect inconspicuously because it also mixes w every other awful bodily fluid in whatever toilet ur playing in. And it's waste so not very strong because energetically the body is literally purging it.

Phones and ipads, necklaces, ID cards, valuables in general, unless you are dead sure you can get away with it because people tend to take it very seriously. It is powerful though because they probably spend a lot of time with it and they will likely miss it, good for love workings!

Anything especially big that you will have a hard time hiding. Like just don't get caught. If you take an entire jacket or something either change it fundamentally and get rid of it like using a flannel to make a charm and burying it, or sew a very subtle charm into the lining and give it back like hahaha you left this here xoxo. Or with shoes you could also pry up the heel and stick a charm in between the sole and the inside.

Hope this helps!

A small list of items use in hexing

There's a lot of discourse around baneful magic, hexing, chaos magic, jinxing and curses.

It's not that I want to actively encourage those practices, but all witches should know what items are used for in spells, especially if they're using advanced magic. Here's a short list of items I see used in hexes and such (no herbs!)

As always, please do your research on all ingredients in a spell in order to source them ethically.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Poppets ~ This is an item used to signify a person in a spell. You can make them out of just about anything, but I most commonly see people stitching their own dolls or using paper cut in the shape of a person.

Taglocks ~ I feel like people get Taglocks and Poppets confused. Taglocks are actually items, sometimes personal, that create a link to a certain person in a spell. This can be as simple as a photo of them, an item they left behind, or even something from their body, like hair or nails.

Graveyard Dirt ~ This is dirt obtained from, you guessed it, graves and cemeteries. Inserting my own opinion here, it's difficult to obtain Graveyard Dirt from the source ethically. In fact, prancing into a graveyard with a shovel can probably get you in a lot of trouble. Some alternatives here can be taking sticks or rocks from a gravesite (NOT anything on someone's grave) or even taking the soil from beneath a dead plant. Always leave an offering for the spirits.

Iron ~ Typically you won't see straight-up Iron listed as a spell item, but you may see rusty nails and other sharp, rusted items. Iron is used to attract and repel, so it can be used to attract negative energy to someone while repelling it from you.

Broken Glass ~ If you're able to safely collect glass after breaking an object, see if you can save it! Broken glass is great for protection in spells. A good example: if you cast a binding spell on someone, it can help prevent them from retaliating.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

By no means is this the only use for these objects. In fact, many items used in baneful magic have uses in protection spells as well. Always do your research, especially to ensure you are not impeding on a closed practice of another culture, before attempting to cast ANY spells.
