💤 To seal the spell you may use wax (preferably light blue or white or black), an energy seal, a sigil, tape, or anything else that you feel will work for me. I used an energy seal placed with a kiss for mine.

💤 Cleanse and charge in the light of the full moon every month before placing back under bed.

not my gif
this spell jar is best crafted on a Sunday, when you can channel the energy of the day, and look back on your achievements of the past week.
✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿
7 small strips of paper
a pen
a mason jar, or a jar of similar size
2-3 cinnamon sticks
a pinch of patchouli, but i used rosemary
a magnet or lodestone crystal
orange or white wax (optional)
the cinnamon brings your happiness blessings, and the magnet and patchouli draw many more of these good things to you.

“on each piece of paper, write down something that has made you happy over the past week; this is the time to celebrate anything and everything, from seeing a cute dog in the park and treating yourself to a cup of coffee on your commute, to taking an afternoon nap.
“fold the papers up, put them in the jar with the cinnamon sticks, patchouli/rosemary and magnet, then place the jar on a windowsill that gets plenty of sunlight.”
“optional, seal with orange or white wax. if you decide not to seal the jar, add to it as and when, or even try to make it a Sunday ritual.”
Hello my greenies! As most of you know I am always inspired by Studio Ghibli and I am going to do a series dedicated to it’s magical gifts. For this one I am going to use the Susuwatari or “traveling soot.”
This spell is to thank the old and welcome the new. Moving or receiving something old can be tricky, since some spirits can take offense or are spooked by the aspect of someone coming in and changing things around. This spell can be performed for anything really. It could be for a house, a box, an old broom, or even an old clock. It is just thanking the object/spirits for taking care of the object and asking for them to allow/accept you to use it now.
Ingredients
small cup of blueberries
white or yellow candle
small glass of room temperature water
water bottle cap of thick sprinkles (or something similar to the size)
three dark colored rocks - no shine
washcloth
Directions
Place the object (if you have one) in front of you with a good amount of space between you.
Then place the blueberries and sprinkles in the space between the object in you, but right behind the object. If you do not have an object, just place it in front of you with plenty of room between you.
Place the three dark colored rocks behind the blueberries and sprinkles in an arrow like position.
Then place the candle in front of you and the cup of water next to you.
Light the candle and begin an 8 minute meditation. Focus on the object and/or the spirit you wish to thank and ask for this object. Make sure your intentions are clear, you are going to be using this object and although it might belong and be changing, it doesn’t take away the memories or the meaning it had before you decided to use it. Feel free to say a chant, I will leave one at the bottom of this post.
As you meditate, take the washcloth and put some water on it. Try not to spill. Only dampen the cloth and wipe your hands and arms with the cloth slowly.
After 8 minutes, blow out the candle. Make sure the candle is stable and all blown out and then keep everything in the room and leave for 30 minutes. Do not go back into the room, unless it is an emergency.
After 30 minutes, go back into the room and thank them again. Depending on your belief, you can decide to bow or not. Then take the blueberries, sprinkles, rocks, and water outside. (You can reuse the rocks and store them in a place for another use.) Place them or burry them. Make sure they are placed well before you leave. If you have water remaining, sprinkle it on them and you are finished with the ritual.
Chant
“Just as the tree grows more leaves after the fall of winter, pass this new journey and new life into my hands. Please accept my offering and allow me to love and take care of the (object, house, etc.).”
I hope you enjoy this ritual and look forward to this series. I hope I can continue to share my love and knowledge with you all.

🌑New Moon🌑
A new moon ritual doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. The candles weren’t even necessary, I just happened to have them.
Get a pen, and two slips of paper.
On one, write down everything you’d like to release.
On the other, everything you’d like to invite (usually the opposite of what you release but it can be something else).
You can burn candles if you like.
When you’re done, dispose of the releasing list.
