A Simple Jar to Aid in Divination
As I’ve grown as a witch, I’ve started to get interested in different forms of magic. Divination is something I’ve always been very interested in, however, I haven’t practiced it much. I’ve been mostly doing some herbal magic, making stuff like sachets and jars and bottles. However, I’ve been wanting to get into divination much more lately, and decided to do a little something to help me!This jar isn’t used as a divination tool, to clear that up. It’s simply here to help strengthen your energies, provide clearer results, and keep malicious/mischievous spirits from meddling with your results!
What You’ll Need
- A jar/bottle. (Really, any bottle or jar will do, as long as you can place a candle inside of it.)
- A Purple or White Candle, or any color candle that has a color you associate with divination.
- Jasmine
- Willow
- Mugwort
- Either: An oil of your choice (which has protective properties), or a marker (preferably permanent) with black or purple ink.
How To Do It
- Do anything you normally do before you work with magic, and cleanse what you need to cleanse. Then, take your tools out, and lay them before you.
- On the bottom of the jar, before you do anything else, take your oil/marker, and draw a sigil to keep malicious/mischievous spirits from meddling with your results. If you don’t know what to do, here’s a simple “Spirits Stay Out (of my work)” sigilyou can easily use. (Excuse how sloppy it looks, I drew it up during passing period in school.)
- Take your candle, and dress it with sigils and oils as you deem appropriate if you would like. Charge, then stick your candle on in there! You’re going to want to make sure you can keep it standing up, so I strongly recommendinvesting on some sticky candle wax.
- Once you make sure your candle is stuck firmly to the bottom of your jar, pour in your willow, jasmine, and mugwort! If you wish to add anything else to make it stronger, be my guest.
- Charge those herbs with your intent, and give it a few shakes!
- If there’s anything else you’d like to do, go for it. Otherwise, you’re done! Light the candle whenever you work with divination, to draw forth power from the jar.
Make sure that when the candle starts to get low, you replace it. Wouldn’t want to burn up all those herbs! If you can’t reach in there with your hand, I recommend grabbing it with a pair of kitchen tongs, or a spoon. Bury the stub in your backyard, or throw it away, then replace the candle.
