Feeling like you could use a little extra protection in your life? Whether you’re suffering from negative energy, psychic attacks, or just tired of being affected by your co-worker’s shitty vibes, creating your own protection spell jar is a simple yet powerful way to shield yourself. And best of all, there are absolutely no weird ass ingredients required. For our spell jar below, you can use things that you likely already have lying around your house right now. Don’t have an ingredient? Substitute something you do have on hand that has similar properties and energy.
What You’ll Need:
- A small jar with a lid (bonus points if it looks witchy)
- Salt (for purification and protection)
- Black pepper (for banishing negativity)
- Cloves (for protection and to drive away harmful spirits)
- A small piece of obsidian, black tourmaline, or another protective crystal
- A bay leaf (for protection and strength)
- String or ribbon (black is ideal for protection)
- A candle (black or white works best)
- A slip of paper and a pen
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Cleanse Your Space and Tools
Before you start, it’s important to cleanse your space and the jar you’ll be using. You can do this by burning sage, palo santo, or any cleansing herb of your choice. Touchy smoke detector? Smokeless clearing options such as ringing a bell, using a purifying spray, or even just the power of intention work just as well. Make sure to clear away any lingering negative energy, ensuring your workspace is full of positive intentions. - Set Your Intention
This is the most important part of any spell. Take a moment to think about what you’re protecting yourself from and what you hope the spell jar will do. Write your intention clearly on the slip of paper, something like: “I am protected from all harm and negativity” or “Only positive energy surrounds me.” Fold the paper and place it in the jar. - Add the Ingredients
As you add each ingredient, speak your intention aloud. For example, when you add salt, say, “This salt purifies and protects me.” When adding black pepper, say, “This pepper banishes all negativity.” Do the same for the cloves, crystal, and bay leaf, focusing on their protective qualities. - Seal the Jar with Wax
Once all your ingredients are in the jar, close the lid tightly. Light your candle and, after letting it burn for a moment, drip the wax around the edge of the jar’s lid, sealing it with your intention. As the wax drips, you can say, “This jar is sealed with protection.” - Wrap It Up
To reinforce the spell, tie a string or ribbon around the neck of the jar. Black is ideal for protection, but you can choose any color that resonates with you. As you tie the ribbon, visualize a shield forming around you, keeping you safe from harm. - Place Your Jar
Put your protection spell jar somewhere it can do its job—your bedroom, workspace, or anywhere you feel you need extra protection. You can carry it with you or leave it
A Few Extra Tips:
- Recharge your jar by holding it during a full moon or new moon and reaffirming your intention.
- Personalize your spell by adding other ingredients that resonate with you, like rosemary, lavender, or even nails for added strength.
- Trust in your magic—your intention and focus are what power this spell!
