  3. Cleanse and charge your crystals before placing them inside the jar. [3] Rinse or submerge them in salt water and set them in the moonlight overnight.
  4. Draw a protection sigil or write your intentions for the spell on the small piece of paper and place it at the bottom or top of the jar. For example, you might write, “I am protected,” “I am safe,” or “I feel protected. These feelings of fear, uncertainty, and insecurity are no longer with me.” [5]

  1. With a match or lighter, light an incense stick or a bundle of sage , cedar , or rosemary , then blow out the flames. Waft the smoke around and inside the jar. [7]
    • To cleanse with salt water, heat a bowl of water and dissolve 4 tbsp (68.28 g) of sea salt. Soak the jar in the solution for 20 minutes, then dry with a clean towel.
    • You can also engage in meditation or cleanse your spirit before making your jar to get into a positive headspace and ensure that you’re also free of negative energy.
  2. Layer the herbs on top of the black salt or sea salt, adding however much of each you’d like. Let your intuition guide you in this process. Then place your protective crystals inside.
    • Add any additional items like symbols, oils, paper slips, or personal items last.
    • The layer of salt can help purify and protect your spell. [8]
  3. Light a white candle or melt whatever color wax you’d like over low heat. Pour the melted wax over the top of the jar until it covers the entire lid, sealing the protective magic inside. [9]
    • If your candle is smaller, light it on top of the jar and allow it to melt over the edges. [10]
    • After sealing the lid, allow the candle to burn until it is completely consumed.
    • White candles can cleanse negative energy, promote peace, healing, purity, and attract positive energy. [11] Alternatively, black candles can enhance protection and block or block bad energy.
  4. Hold the jar in your hands, focusing on your intention, and repeat a protection incantation, like “I am protected and safe” or “This jar wards off any negative energy within me or around me.” [12]
    • You can also chant a protection spell out loud as you place each ingredient inside the jar or when you light your candle to melt the wax. [13]
    • Once the jar is infused with positive energy and sealed, it will begin capturing negative energy and warding off danger.
  5. For example, place or bury it near your front door to protect your home from negative energy. You can also put it in a hidden place inside, like in a pantry or wardrobe. You can also place it:
    • On your altar space or sacred space to focus your energy and protect your spirit.
    • Near your bedside to protect you when lucid dreaming or exploring higher realms of consciousness.
    • In the closet of a loved one’s room to protect them from harm.
    • In your purse or bag to keep you safe at all times.
  6. Protection spell jars can in and trap negative energy, which can clog up its purifying abilities.
    • Place the jar outside under the light of the full moon to protect yourself and your loved ones for the following month.
    • When you feel unsafe or sense negative energy clouding your vision, meditate with the jar and visualize your intentions coming true.
    • Once you manifest your intentions or the ingredients inside look dead, empty the jar and return any herbs and spices to the earth. [14]
