Spell Jars are an easy and beginner friendly way to get into spell work and herbology for baby witches. Spell jars are great in that they allow a lot of creative freedom with materials and the process itself. When following a spell or making your own, you can substitute most ingredients for a similar one (i.e. essential oils or dried herbs instead of fresh ones or switching out a rare herb for one you have in your spice rack like mint for sage or rosemary for most other herbs. Check out Witch Depot for substitute suggestions).  

Here are some affordable links to purchase materials for Spell Jars (or better yet shop your local metaphysical store and support small business!!!)

Small Crystals

Natural Gems

Dried Herb Starter Kit

Spell Candles 

Spell Jar Kit

Or use old paper towel and toilet paper rolls as “jars” to hold herbs and spices (these can be burned in your ritual which is an added bonus! But don’t burn your crystals!)

When assembling your spell jar try to meditate on what you are trying to manifest or achieve through chant or quiet thought. For some spells there are particular places to keep your jar but for the most part wearing or carrying your jar on you or keeping it at your altar is a good idea.
