July is an excellent month to harness the radiant energy of summer. The sun is at its zenith, the days are long and bright with the sun's rays and ripe with opportunities to bottle a bit of sunshine to keep around for colder days as the wheel inevitably turns.
What You'll Need To Craft Your Sunshine Spell Jar:
Cleansing incense
Small glass jars with lids
Yellow, gold, or orange candle wax (or a crayon melted)
Dried herbs: St. John’s Wort, Calendula, Chamomile
Sunstone, carnelian, citrine chips or small crystals
Gold glitter
A small piece of yellow or orange fabric
Twine or ribbon
Making The Magick:
1. Cleansing Your Space
Before starting your crafting, cleanse your space with incense, Sage and lavender work well for this.
2. Set Your Intentions
As you gather your materials, set your intention. Hold each item and think about what it represents and how it will contribute to your spell jar. For example, consider the warmth and positivity you'll summon with the sunstone chips.
3. Layering The Magick
Herbs First: Begin by adding your dried herbs to the jar. Each herb amplifies the sun's energy in its unique way. St. John's Wort brings protection and happiness, Calendula attracts positive energy, and Chamomile soothes and enriches.
Crystal Clear Intent: Add a few sunstone chips or crystals. Sunstone is associated with abundance, joy, and personal power—perfect for this summer spell jar.
Golden Glitter: Sprinkle in some gold glitter. This is more than just a sparkly additive; it's a visual representation of the sun's rays and includes a touch of glamor magic.
4. Waxing The Seal
Melt your yellow, gold, or orange wax. You can do this with candle wax or by melting down a crayon of the appropriate color, in a pinch.
Pour the wax carefully atop the contents of your jar. As you do, focus on sealing in all the vibrant, positive energy.
5. Fabric and Finishing Touches
Once the wax cools and hardens, cut a small circle of yellow or orange fabric and place it over the lid of your jar.
Secure it with twine or ribbon. Make sure to tie it securely; if you like, you can add a small sun charm for an extra touch of magic.
6. Charging Your Spell Jar
For this step, take your newly crafted Sunshine Spell Jar outside during a sunny day.
Sit quietly with it in your hands, meditate briefly, and visualize the sun's energy infusing the jar. Leave the jar out in the sunlight for at least an hour to charge it completely.
7. Activating Your Magick
Whenever you need a boost of positivity, joy, or sun energy, hold your spell jar and close your eyes. Feel its warmth and let its energy radiate through you. Alternatively, you can place it on your windowsill to keep the sun's energy flowing into your space.
Creating Sunshine Spell Jars is not just a craft; it's a magical ritual that harnesses the sun's power during the vibrant days of July. With every step, you're weaving your own energy and intentions into the jar, creating a potent tool for positivity and empowerment.
Now go and get your shine on!
