Here is my detailed instructions on how I made my very first spell jar! It’s written like a chemistry lab report because that’s how I’m used to writing procedural reports.

Purpose: To generate, conserve, and attract money.
Materials:
1 Small Glass Jar
1 Green Candle (Votive size)
1 White Tealight (Optional)
3 Pennies (or other Small Coins)
3 Squares of Green Paper, each 2.25x2.25in (Size and Color are Optional)
1 Dark Green Pen
Mint (Leaves or Flakes)
Green String or Yarn (Optional)
Heat Source (Flame, Hot Plate)
1 Small Glass Jar
1 Green Candle (Votive size)
1 White Tealight (Optional)
3 Pennies (or other Small Coins)
3 Squares of Green Paper, each 2.25x2.25in (Size and Color are Optional)
1 Dark Green Pen
Mint (Leaves or Flakes)
Green String or Yarn (Optional)
Heat Source (Flame, Hot Plate)
My Personal Jar Preparation Procedure:
1. Remove wick from white tealight, set wax inside small glass jar.
2. Heat jar over heat source until wax completely melts.
3. Set jar in a safe place to cool gradually (do not set on a wood surface, and do not ice).
4. At some point during cooling, say, “Jar of potential, hold my intent” as many times as feels appropriate.
5. Once the jar has cooled and the wax has solidified, the jar is prepared to hold magickal intent.

Actual Spell Procedure:
1. Light the green candle, and let the wax liquify.
2. Pour drops of wax into the jar in a somewhat even layer all over the bottom.
3. Sprinkle in a pinch of mint.
4. Tell the green wax and mint, “Draw money toward you and never relent”.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 layer by layer until the mint is gone. The wax may not all melt.
6. Fold the 3 squares of green paper into 3 little envelopes (or into any kind of closed container).
7. Draw a sigil on each envelope: 1 for generating money, 1 for conserving money, 1 for attracting money.
8. Insert 1 penny into each envelope.
9. With the green string or yarn, tie the three little envelopes together into a stack (Optional).
10. Drop the envelopes onto the green wax/mint layers.
11. Seal the jar in whatever way you like (maybe with green wax on top).

Decorate the jar with green and gold colors! Make it look super attractive to money ;)
Personal Notes:
The size listing for the green squares of paper refers to the appropriate paper size for folding a particular type of Japanese envelope so that it is the perfect size for a penny.
The green votive candle that I used had an “evergreen” scent, which I thought suited money well. I let the wax drip all around the inside of the glass because I thought it looked cool. The candle did not melt completely, and I ended up discarding a lot of the wax. I felt okay with this.
The jar preparation procedure is not a typical procedure. I prepare the jar by giving it a white wax base and by telling it that it will now be used for magic and magic only. In this way I feel that the jar will not be ‘distracted’, and this gives me peace of mind.
