A honey jar is a wonderful magickal tool! It is especially useful for some aspect of your life that you wish to give ongoing energy over a long period of time. The trick to creating this type of spell is to focus on the positive (always a good idea) to sweeten things up and bring about positive change.
To create a honey jar you will need the following supplies:
- A small jar with some sort of lid. I found this cool honey jar with a cork, but a small canning jar will work just fine.
- Honey. High quality is good, unfiltered and organic, but don’t break the bank. The sweetness is what’s important.
- A pencil and a small piece of paper.
- A small candle of your choosing. I used beeswax but your usual spell candles are ok.
Write on your paper, “Life is sweet because” and finish that statement with what you desire to sweeten in the present tense. Example: “Life is sweet because I am employed in a job that brings me joy and financial prosperity.” Remember to state your desire in the present tense like you have it now. If you say “I will have…” it will always remain in the future. Make sense?
Oh, and need I say it? I would not use a honey jar to bring about baneful magick as in, “Life is so sweet because my ex got struck by lightening”. Ahem….but that’s me.
Fold the petition and place it in the jar.
Pour honey over the paper to completely cover it.
Now drip candle wax to seal around the lid of the jar and add a puddle of wax to the very top to affix a small candle.
Attach your small spell candle, charge, enchant and light it. Here is a sample charm to say as you light your candle:
Honey from the bee,
Bring sweet blessings to me!
Honey jar work my desire ,
By the power of sweet honey and fire!
So mote it be!
Allow the wax to drip down the sides of the jar to seal your spell. I place the jar on a candle plate or holder to catch the excess wax.
Occasionally add a new candle to the jar to continue to “work” the spell. Use your intuition to tell you when you need to add and burn another candle.
Here’s s humble little honey jar that I have worked for awhile with good results.
This honey jar is that of a coven mate who adds a candle when she feels her energy starting to sag. And it’s “cheaper than therapy”, as they say. You can use a taper candle or tea light. You might even choose the candle according to its color energy. The blue one in the photo above was to bring peaceful energy.
May the venerable honey bee sweeten your life as you work your honey jar magick! 🐝 And please feel free to post your own ideas for casting a honey jar spell in the comments below.
