Workshops
The Power of Spell Jars
Magick doesn’t always have to include long ceremonies and complicated incantations. Sometimes, you need a simple solution to your magickal problem. Spell jars are a great way to incorporate herbs, stones, trinkets, and other items into your magickal workings. This class is accessible for all magickal folk – from those just beginning to more advanced practitioners.
​
In class we’ll discuss different ways to cleanse your jars or bottles, how to write a clear, purposeful intention, and how to ‘enchant’ your jar. And we’ll learn about several herbs, stones, and other natural (and some supernatural) elements you can add to your spell jar.
​
Jars, herbs, and stones will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own, and anything else you’d like to incorporate into your jar.
