Before starting, cleanse your spell jar and each ingredient using methods such as smoke from sage or incense, burying it in salt, bathing it in moonlight, or by holding each item and envisioning it. To make a potent protection spell jar, prepare sugar, salt, garlic, and sesame seeds, seal with red or white wax.
Setting intentions is crucial for newer witches, as they should focus on what success means to them and visualize the positive outcomes desired. Prepare the jar by cleaning it, sealing it with black candle wax, and keeping it visible in your home. Candle wax sets like the CHUHUAYUAN Wax Set and the Pextian Wax Seal Stamp Kit are recommended for all candle wax needs.
Protected spell jars can be as simple as a bowl of sea salt under your bed or as complex as a protective spell jar. During this step, you generally ask for protection from spirits you trust, such as your ancestors or loved ones. The ingredients for a protection spell jar include crystals, herbs, incense, a spell jar, and a wax kit.
To clean a dirty jar, put a spoon of rice, a little bit of soap and water in a jar, shake it, and rinse with water. A through washing with soap and water is my personal favorite method for cleaning a spell jar. Another method is to remove the corks and extras like string, take out all the insides, and pour hot water to melt the candle wax.
In conclusion, cleansing spell jars involves cleansing them with soap and water, burying them in salt water, or using a match or lighter to light an incense stick or bundle of sage or cedar. Place the purifying and cleansing spell jar on your altar, beside your bed, or carry it with you to keep its energy close.

📹 Why Cleansing Before Spellwork Is the Secret to Success 🔮
Join me, Ginny Metheral, as we delve into the magical world of cleansing and purifying. In today’s enchanting video, we’ll explore …
I dont have not know what the Angelica root is idk where to even find that sounds expensive…. Also I don’t have broken mirror shards, or thistle oil idk where u would find that at also sound expensive or too hard to find … So only did the salt, pepper flakes, peppercorns and clove with ripped up bay leaf is that ok or is is not gonna work properly
I can’t always use smoke to cleanse (i love bayleaf) and also clumsy with fire, then I heard another wich joke about carrying her water bottle to splash negative annoying people with water, but I found carrying a small spray bottle of cleansing water really does make a difference. Thanks for such a wonderful article!
I don’t want to say I’ve mastered cleansing but i feel like next to divination its the one thing I’ve honed really well. I got so good at it that when i was a maid i was physically cleaning a clients home and she was telling me she could feel that i was magickally cleansing her home too! So I’ve gotten to the point to where i don’t need tools to cleanse if i didn’t have any. But i do oh so LOVE crafting different spells for cleansing! I smudge, make cleansing bowls (with herbs, crystals, sea salt and a tea light floating in the middle) and let it sit in the home while I clean, I make magickal sprays, craft candles and if it’s serious i ran around banging pots and pans (my 2 year old loves to help with that one 😂). I also adore making cleansing bath salts! Ugh the list is endless ✨
I’ve been using Palo Santo a lot recently for smoke cleansing and I love it. It doesn’t stay lit long, but I find it’s a good thing: it doesn’t get overly smoky in the room and it’s easy to control how much smoke is being generated by just re-lighting when necessary. And the scent is wonderful! Thank you Ginny.
I remember a few years back I was on a skype call with a friend in India. He and his family were doing a Hindu ritual to welcome the goddess Lakshmi into their home for her festival. My friend’s mother was consistently ringing a bell. When I asked my friend why, he told me it was to banish negative energy so that the goddess could enter. As a Buddhist person we always ring a “bowl” bell during temple services, meditation, chanting which is all about cleansing the mind of impurities. I also to a quick smoke cleanse before I go to the ancestor’s room at the Buddhist temple to make offerings to Earth-store Bodhisattva, Kisitigarbha (Buddhist deity who helps people in the hell realm and the realms of the dead) and give offerings of food, incense and flowers to my mother who has passed on.
I use sage when cleansing and invite love, peace, and harmony into the home, too. I also find it a good thing to play meditational music immediately after cleansing a space to block any negative energies from trying to creep back in. For myself, from top to heel, i use lavender incense sticks. Love your vids, Ginny. always great advice. Thanks for sharing✌️😊
I use incense. I feel like it encompasses all four elements the flowing smoke are water and air the burning herbs are earth and fire and my intentions hold spirit. It feels good to me 🙂 but … Im an astrology nerd and a Leo Rising with Tons of Earth.. i would love to male my own herb bundle and maybe incorporate candles in a larger ritual cleansing, full moon perhaps.
It depends on the circumstances which I use… 😁 generally I use cedar, this helps with both emotional and negative energy cleansing. If there are darker forces involved I have a blend of sage, eucalyptus and olive. All on charcoal and keep topping it up until everything is cleared ❤❤ thank you for your lovely articles Ginny 🥰🥰
The negative “energy” thing goes both ways with parents and children. Parents and grandparents can also share their negative “energy” with their children and grandchildren, this is intergenerational trauma, I’m surprised you didn’t discuss this in the article since you’re talking about energetic cleansing. This is a HUGE reservoir of negativity that results in all kinds of emotional trauma that leaves someone open to the very parasitic attachments you’re talking about cleansing :-/
Perfect article as I’m doing my equinoxal (is that a word?😊) house protection today. Knowing me, I’d probably light my hair on fire if I did the flame method, lol! I don’t have a bathtub, so all the cleansing bath advice I cannot do, but I’ve never thought of doing a salt scrub instead, thank you! I have a funny story. My then 23 year old was being very negative about something, so I discreetly did the sound bowl ding while I was sitting at the table. My kid imnediately said, “Aaah! I hate that!” and ran out of the room, lol! Works perfect. Happy Autumn Equinox! ❤
I do try and sweep the floor before spellcasting. And I use Mathers holy oil. And being a woman I find it interesting that a woman must be married for it to work. And it seems to work well. But I should work more on cleansing just before spell casting, I do often use nag Champa and sage and mugwort. Just to clean energy in my home. The biggest difficulty is feeling rushed to spell casting. I feel so hyperactive. At times. Like I have to get this done right now. Something is going on I have to stop it.
I smudge the space and the items I am using (never thought to smudge myself- thank you) and then I cast a circle and lay out crystals in a circle or a grid that help me to stay grounded and protected. I find that it helps if the circle sometimes comes from me – as if my aura becomes stronger and brighter and bigger… with the crystals helping to protect me during my meditation or ritual or spell. I don’t always like to take a bath before so sometimes I’ll take a walk outside even if it’s driving to a part of town that is new to me and just letting nature cleanse me and I open myself up to see signs bc when I’m somewhere new I somehow see signs more clearly. These signs give me direction and guide me for how to do my spells.
If I am feeling negativity or something stronger trying to break in, I will use both white sage and palo santo to cleanse my entire home and property, then leave a pinch of black salt on the farthest points to the north, east, south and west of the entire property, as well as a little sprinkle outside every window and door. Whenever I am going to do a ritual, I will literally first clean my physical space, then wash my hands and face, cleanse myself and then finally cast my circle and begin my ritual. For minor spells that are faster in nature, I can use something lighter like incense and moonwater. I try to keep my house cleansed by regularly burning incense and just sitting it there to make the house smell nice. It’s like mild maintenance, and I do this once a week. Ideally, I burn frankincense… but I also really like Nag Champa sticks and cones. That one does the trick quite nicely and it smells absolutely divine. I do have a small brass bell that I like to use right after I close a circle after a ritual or ceremony, just to make 100% sure that there is no negative energy lingering around after the spell looking for any tiny opportunity to wreak havoc. I believe that once you start your path you will immediately become a brighter beacon, and like all lights, you will draw more attention in general, and that unfortunately includes some entities that are just seeking to leech off energy from people. Thankfully, most negative entities and energies are relatively easy to keep at bay.
So last year I burned a bay leaf for a spell and I didn’t know they were hallucinogenic. They made me high! 😂 So in general I’m really bad at remembering to cleanse before I do spellwork, but I am always spraying my salt and moon water spray, along with using my protection oil. I also use black tourmaline sometimes.
This probably sounds strange but the very first thing I do is wash my hands very thoroughly! I use an incense stick to cleanse myself, picking one that correlates to whatever I’m going to be working on because I usually keep one lit the whole time. (With a window cracked!) I also like to stick my hand in a jar of moon water and flick the water on myself! I keep most of my crystals in a small copper teapot so when I want to use them I first fill the contsiner with smoke and use the lid to tap against the lip because it makes a beautiful ringing vibrating sound.
I cast a circle before I do any magic, calling to the four directions as well as above and below. Stepping inside the circle, I purify myself with smudge and sometimes sound. I will use crystals to augment my purifying because they love to share their energy with me. Crystals also augment any magic I might perform.
My bath is not suitable so I take salt showers .. I add dried rose petals, rosemary and my salt is both Celtic sea and pink. I also cover my hair when dry and made an oil of frankincense .. put that on my body. I use colors according to what is happening. I burn bay leafs, not every time. I also use smudge, often with different herbs. frankincense, in all forms. I also love roses!..I put rose water in all hygiene products (and one bay leaf). I do wish I could fully take a bath. But.. I have to work around the weird bath issue (hard, well water = very stained). I make a new oil every week. Sometimes I forget to label them and forget what it is😂. I’m not sure why oils are so important to me. I do a lot with cloves. This is cleansing for me. I made a clove spray. I use it often. I use it daily, in fact.
So, I’ve thought about it overnight and I’m just curious, how many demonic entities do you cast away or sense on a weekly basis? I feel like some people are soulless and some folks give me uncomfortable feelings, but I feel like I’ve come across very few grave feeling people. And do you feel like there are stronger presences in the UK than America?
Hi, it’s 10:14 AM in California on May 23rd. I just found you this morning on YouTube actually I saw a article on I believe Instagram not mistaken and then it took me over to this article and one before that. Thank you for all you share. I will start perusal your articles from now on. And yes, I do cleanse before every spell myself and sometimes just cleanse right now I have sage stick that I guess has been dipped in dragons blood and I also have one that’s made out of sweet grass and flowers and such and I also have sweet grass by itself. I also burn incense. Have a marvelous day.❤️
Blessings, so you mentioned the circle which is a question that has been weighing on me lately. In my younger years I always did circles. Are they absolutely necessary? In my current time my room is small and I don’t have the room for the circle. So can I fully cleanse without a circle? Also if I may ask another question that I know was debated years ago, is a circle truly necessary to witchcraft or can I avoid it. As I get older it seems easier to do workings and even cleansings without opening a full circle. Opening and closing the circle takes so much time for me outside of the magickal working itself
The first thing I thought of as you were waving the candle around your head was “Ginny! Watch your hair” It was funny when you mentioned later about burning your hair in the past. I’m clumsy with candles as well but somehow can’t stop myself from footering with them and playing with the wax if there is one near me. I use sage for cleansing but I’m planning a ritual during the full moon and now think I will begin with a salt bath, perhaps adding some moon water and a herb bag to the bath
I make a salt water spray bottle with added lavender oil to cleanse myself with if i’m unable (or too lazy) to get a full cleanse with a salt scrub in the shower. seems to work! thanks for all of your articles ♥️ they’re so helpful, cheerful, and calming. You are often my body double for when i’m having a hard time getting tasks done. I just light an orange candle, throw on one of your articles, and tackle tasks!
We keep our home pretty locked down normally, but everyone has an upper respiratory thing going right now so sheilds are iffy. I will be cleansing with incense later today…but I am finding the the rain shower outside right now is washing away all the gross things clinging to our sheilds! Though, I do love a good singing bowl, and I have several bells. Thanks for the reminder!
Why does everyone keep reiterating these beginner lessons? It’s so irritating to me, that every joe-schmoe who decides to talk about witchcraft only does the simplest things that one could even pick up from fantasy novels. Ive been practicing for thirty-five years, and its still the same basic lessons. As a Hereditary, please share some more advanced teachings, in things like ritual design, navigating the minefield of correspondences, critical thinking, meditation and Focus. These are the areas where the record is incomplete.
