Hi, my loves and welcome to WiccaNow. Recently I’ve been covering some topics around Wiccan and Witchy altars, like these posts on common altar decorations, how to set up your own altar, a post on witch wands, this one on basic witch supplies and most recently an in-depth post of mirror magick. Continuing on from mirror magick, I want to share something that I find really useful to have around the house, namely a protection jar.
Jar spells are a long-lasting and pretty way to continuously have magick around you. I’ve already shared one post on how to make a honey jar spell for love, so if you’re in the mood, check it out!
How Jar Spells Work
Jar spells work by combining a set of ingredients, infusing those ingredients with your intention and then sealing the magick into the jar. Jar spells can be constantly re-charged and re-activated, which is one of the reasons they are extremely popular amongst witches. For example, if you follow this protection jar spell then all you need to do to re-activate it is to take the jar, think about what protection you need, infuse the jar with this intention and away you go, jar spell activated!
Another reason that jar spells are so popular is because they are really pretty to look at. I love seeing mine when I come in the door, filled with my favourite protection herbs and crystals. I feel safe knowing that my front door is magickally protected and that nothing malevolent is able to come through it. Having this tangible magick right in front of me when I enter my home makes me feel extremely secure and protected.
Most jar spells also work really well when combined with mirror magick and also with candle magick. Using candle magick to seal your jar is a great way of solidifying your intent for your protection jar and using mirror magick is an excellent way of amplifying the power of the spell.
If you really want to make this a super-strong protection jar spell, consider making it on the full moon and charging a mirror while you work so that you’re really taking advantage of all the extra power around you at this point in the moon cycle. When you’ve finished making your protection jar, you can either place the mirror on the lid in order to reflect away bad vibes, or you can place the mirror in the jar to amplify the power of the ingredients you’ve added to your jar (or you can do both for an extra boost). So, lets get into it!

Protection Jar Spell
A few notes for this Protection Jar Spell
- If you haven’t cast a spell before, consider checking out our spell casting 101 before you start so you’re familiar with the basics.
- This is a fun spell that could be completed in a group setting. It’s a relatively easy jar spell and might be a great way to introduce some of your curious friends to your witchy ways. Spells like this don’t require you to focus TOO intently so are ok for groups. I wouldn’t suggest introducing your friends to witchcraft with a spell that requires them to focus super intently on something in order for it to manifest because you might intimidate them. A tangible spell like this would be a much more gentle and fun place to start! If they are a bit sceptical and think that chanting during a spell is weird, you can also choose to leave out the chant at the end, or you can say it in your head instead.
- Make sure that you have all the ingredients you need before you start your spell. It’s really frustrating to be ½ through a spell and then have to stop everything to search through your cupboards for an ingredient you are missing. Double-check what you have and what you need before you start to avoid this.
- While it may seem like there are a lot of ingredients for this spell, a lot of them are common kitchen ingredients so should be easy to find. As with most spells, these recipes are extremely customizable;e and if you don’t like the idea of an ingredient, feel free to swap it out! This is something that you should enjoy making and looking at so definitely don’t add things just because the recipe says so if you don’t like them.
- I like to use candles to finish my jar spells, but you really don’t have to. It can be a little annoying if you want to open them to add something else because if the candle has…
