Energy and Productivity Spell Jar

this is a quick spell jar meant for long-term use (a few months). its purpose is as a battery, to charge the room with energy so that you can have access to an energy source. i added a productivity sigil to transmute the energies passing through the jar into productive energy. it’s perfect for days when you have no spoons but still need to get stuff done! 

Ingredients:

sea salt [as a desiccant and an energy source] 

heather blossoms [for perseverance]

black tea leaves [for energy]

dried rosemary [for improved memory and concentration]

a sprig from a pine tree [for resilience and inner strength]

an ‘energy’ and ‘productivity’ sigil [here is my energy sigil]

clear quartz [for energy transmitting], flourite [for concentration and productivity], and tigers eye [for determination and hard work]

a suitable small jar with a lid

[remember to use dried herbs and flowers as this spell jar will be sealed and is for long term use]

start by combining the sea salt with the dried heather blossoms - if you don’t have access to heather, you can substitute with thyme blossoms. add a layer of this to the bottom of your jar.

next, add a layer of black tea leaves, you can also use the contents of a tea bag rather than whole leaves. green or black tea would work well.

after this, add a layer of dried rosemary to the top. if you are using home-grown rosemary, break the sprigs up so they make an even layer. 

next, draw an energy sigil on a piece of paper, and on the other side draw a productivity sigil. draw these in green or yellow ink. cut the card out so that it fits snugly in the lid of your jar. 

take the pine sprig and push it into the jar so that it is standing vertically through the layers.

screw the lid on tightly, and add your crystals either on top of, or around your jar. use your finger or wand to draw circles around the lid of the jar, setting your intention and activating the sigils.

place on a windowsill or shelf, with the crystal points facing inwards towards the room. periodically recharge the jar - either under the moon or with a wand.

Alternatives to White Sage & Palo Santo

Smoke Cleansing: the practice of using the smoke of a burning herb, incense or resin to clear your space of stagnant energy or undesirable emotion.

Smoke cleansing is an accessible, user-friendly way of incorporating the power of smoke and burning without trampling over and appropriating sacred smudge rituals. Likewise, this post is going to avoid the use of white sage, as it is an endangered plant, and over harvesting is making it increasingly more difficult for indigenous peoples to get it themselves. I am also not going to bring up palo santo for a very similar reason.

I’m not going to go into the fine details of smoke cleansing, as I find that it is a very personal practice, but I will offer you a great list of alternatives to white sage and palo santo.

Some places to obtain these herbs: local witchcraft shops, witchcraft Etsy shops, grocery stores for herbs that are also culinary, foraging. (Remember to be mindful of whether or not pesticides are being used on the land you are foraging from, and that the spirits of the land are allowing you to harvest their plants.)

Lavender (Leaves and stems only, the buds will pop when exposed to fire.)

Rosemary

Cedar

Mugwort

Sandalwood (Be mindful of where you source this; Australia is a good source right now, as sandalwood is subject to wood poaching elsewhere.)

Basil

Pine (Avoid burning this inside if you have cats.)

Cedar (See above.)

Patchouli

Lemon Balm

Bay Leaves

Wormwood

Bee Balm (Bergamot)

Chamomile

Chickweed

Dandelion Root

There are of course MANY more herbs that you can burn, but these are my personal favorites for cleansing. Every herb will have its own properties, however, what may be meaningful to me may not be meaningful for you, so experiment and figure out what works for you!

One suggestion: consider starting with the herbs and plants growing on your property or in your area first. You’ll be able to bond with the spirits of these plants easiest, and you may find it much more fulfilling to use these. It will become very personable to collect, dry, and use these herbs, since you have put yourself into the process from start to end.
