Alternatives for Jars in Witchcraft

So jar spells seem to be a dime a dozen (and I love them as much as anyone) but I was going through my witchy supplies the other day and I was baffled with how much space was taken up by empty jars I’ve never got round to filling and making into a proper jar spell. I’ve realised I use other methods of containing spells far more frequently, for the times I don’t want the residual sweetness of nutella to influence my spell.

So I present to you alternatives to jars. They will contain your spell just as well, some might even be better suited.

1) Cardboard box. Tampon box, cereal box, cereal bar box, I was presented a wine stopper in a box with a window on the front of the box and got very excited. All 100% degradable and thus suitable for any spells you wish to bury outside. Also very flammable for the spells you want to burn.

2) Tupperware tubs. (Or if you’re thrifty, margarine/ice cream tubs, or take away tubs)

3)Toilet/kitch roll tubes (optional: sealed at the ends) also bury-able and burnable.

4) Empty biros! I’m especially thinking of this kind with the screw-on end. Carefully hold a flame where the nib pokes out the other end and you have a tiny vial of spell. This will also help cut down on any ingredient wastage & is very hide-able if you’d rather folk not know you’re practising.

5) Candy/mints tin - usually included in posts to say gr8 for travel altar/on the go witching. Also good for spell!

6) Also if you want to mavguiver lids you can use the tins from tinned food. Or yoghurt pots! (little ones especially that don’t usually come with lids you can put back on)

7) Empty bottles! Wine bottles, booze bottles in general, soda, milk, bottled drinks far and wide. These also have a nice capacity for becoming a rattle if you like to use sound in your practise, milk bottles especially, since it’s not usually practical to completely fill a big 6L capacity milk bottle.

8) Pill boxes. Whether you’re someone who takes meds on a daily basis or not, pill boxes also sometimes have times of day/days of the week printed on them, if you want to work a spell at a specific time or day, or if your working goes on over consecutive days.

9)Again if you want to Macgyver lids, the lids of aerosols like hairspray and deodorant make handy little containers.

10) Jewellry boxes - if your spell requires a little glitz and/or glamour, a velvet lined jewellry box and your finest jewels for neighbours might give it a bit of a kick. *See point 15*

11) Music boxes - similar to jewellry boxes, bonus twinkly plinky plonky music for added Vibe. Again, if you’re into using sound this is a gr8 option.

12) Pockets! With a little sewing know how, you can cut the pockets out of old clothes and sew them shut and use them to contain your spell. Depending on what clothes you cannibalise for this, there can be some added interesting associations that might be applicable to your spells - what better way to honour your old favourite knackered pair of jeans than to take the pockets and use them to contain an everyday safety and comfort spell?

13) old lip balm/lipstick containers - if you ever in your life get to finish an entire chapstick or lipstick. Again, it being something you used frequently can add to the spell. Also, depending on flavour there can be added associations. Alternatively, finding one you bought and never use and gutting it of its contents to make it a spell container can be pretty symbolic.

14) Lip balm/vaseline pocket tins - similar to the candy tins, but again i’d be tempted to use these tins for perhaps a glamour.

15) zip lock bags - These are handy as well because you might be hesitant to fill your jewelry box/music box with herbs etc. Stick ‘em in a zip lock bag, stick the bag in the box. boosh. Draw a sigil on the bag in a sharpie and you’ve got yourself LAYERS of spell!

16) Envelopes - they’re pennies. Floatable, burnable, buryable, you can write on them with anything, scribble sigils, whatever. my go-to for literally everything.

Jars do not have the monopoly on being great at containing spells, friends. Please do add on anything you can think of that I’ve missed.

thanks @epickegster /jacinta for tagging me!! (also here are her answers in case u haven’t already read them and wish to i d k)

1. Who are you named after?

i was named after my mother’s college roommate, carolyn (and, scary part, get this, my mother’s name is catherine and her roommate’s name was carolyn?? well my name is carolyn and my college roommate’s name is katherine so um,)

2. Last time you cried?

i almost/basically cried during my modern class on friday?? like i was just, frustrated during class because i wasn’t really feeling inspired and my movement just didn’t flow or make sense and everyone else was like “this class is really doing wonders for my creativity and movement quality!!” and i had just, had the sudden realization that i didn’t belong anywhere?? i’m a double major, involved in both psych/neuroscience and dance. so when i’m in my science classes, i feel too artsy to be taken seriously, but i never feel creative enough in my choreo/dance classes (like, i’m overanalyzing things too much or something idk). so all that hit me like a ton of bricks because i felt like i didn’t belong in either of my majors and that i might be stretching myself too thin and haha which one are you going to stick with after you graduate carolyn!!!! you have to pick!!! now!!! because otherwise fellow dancers will never accept you and neither will your fellow researchers hahahahaaaa!!!

TL;DR: sad double major almost cried during dance class, was asked if she was okay by multiple friends after class, vehemently denied any accusations of being sad

3. Do you like your handwriting?

it’s o k a y but nothing special?? sort of like a sad, print-cursive hybrid, but legible

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?

deli meat chicken because, like, every day from age 6 to the day i graduated high school i ate 2 thin slices of deli meat chicken on whole grain bread (which i then flattened) for lunch every single day. no condiments or lettuce or anything- just me and a squished chicken sandwich

5. Do you have kids?

lol nah

6. Do you use sarcasm?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. Do you still have your tonsils?

8. Would you bungee jump?

9. What is your favorite kind of cereal?

multi grain cheerios no milk

10. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?

hell no i don’t have time for that

11. Do you think you’re strong?

i have danced ballet for ~16 years and i’ve been en pointe for nearly 9 of those years so maybe?? sort of physically strong?? but i have zero upper body strength. sad! (not mentally tough tho dude i cry whenever anyone confronts me about anything)

12. What is your favorite ice cream?

mint chocolate chip!!! (but the ice cream has to be like, bright ass green for maximum mint flavor)

13. What is the first thing you notice about someone?

umm?? i’m not sure, but probably eyes/facial expression??

14. Football or baseball?

dude no i love both, equally, so much,

15. Your favorite sorting metrics?

that is, a good question, but i’m afraid that’s all we have time for folks,

16. What color pants are you wearing?

blue nike shorts

17. Favorite smell?

bedsheets str8 out of the dryer!! everything is so fresh and so clean, clean

18. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?

my mother

19. Favorite sport to watch on tv?

football!! i love football. especially college football?? amazing. incredible. nebraska football, especially. even better. the best.

(but live tho definitely baseball, it’s one of my favorite activities, driving out to kauffman stadium on a warm summer evening, hot dogs and peanuts and canned pepsi is all $1 each on certain nights and you just, sit and enjoy. you’re always with a few friends and family; the action on the field is just slow enough to enjoy while catching up but fast enough to really be invested in the sport itself. since baseball teams play over 100 games each season, losing one game typically doesn’t mean too much, so a loss from your favorite team isn’t too stressful; everyone’s having a good time, gracious in defeat but fuckin pumped after a win. on fridays after the game, there are always fireworks and just, the whole experience is gr8 from start to finish)

20. Hair color?

light brown!! during the summer it gets some fun ~almost blonde~ highlights from the sun but generally light brown

21. Eye color?

blue

22. Favorite food to eat?

kansas city barbecue!! especially pulled pork sandwiches with a lot of tangy and spicy sauces, my absolute favorite

23. Scary or funny movies?

funny, because, i don’t enjoy being scared, not into that,

24. Last movie you watched?

oooh last night i watched friends with benefits?? bc my roommates and i had just gotten home from a late night run to arby’s for jamocha shakes (and please, folks, if u do nothing else have this shake sometime in ur life thank u) and we turned on the tv and long after my roommates fell asleep i just, kept watching because of justin timberlake and it was an average movie

25. What color shirt are you wearing?

grey

26. Favorite holiday?

i really like halloween; not all the scary parts, but the fun costumes!! and candy!! and socks. i have so many halloween socks. and i just like all the, fun, spooky things?? a good time

27. Wine or beer?

canadian ice wine ( @epickegster dude u had the same answer, and u get me, my dude, my homie, my bro)

but yeah ummm i don’t really have anyone to ~tag~ but if u wanna go for it then go for it!! i love getting to know people

5 Timeless French-Girl Pieces To Invest In

Guys, I have a confession to make: I’m still not sure I’ve determined what my ‘personal style’ actually is. This could speak directly to my indecisive nature in general or my unwillingness to put myself into a box. One day I feel like channelling Carmela Soprano, the next I derive my inspiration from 80s aerobics clips. A week later, all I’ll want to wear is jeans and a t-shirt. The road to figuring out my style is a long and bendy one with many disparate pit stops.

I suspect it’s also because I simply can’t help myself when it comes to jumping on trends (whoops!), or making erratic, fun vintage purchases that are great standalone, but that don’t really make sense in the context of my wardrobe. It’s a jungle in there, let me tell you.

The antidote for this affliction is spying what the galz in France are up to. Now, there’s a nation of stylish women who understand the benefits of a capsule wardrobe. If you’re also blessed/cursed with a proclivity for changing up your vibe on the regular, or shopping on a whim, here’s 5 timeless french-girl pieces that will help to keep you looking casj and chic AF…

A good pair of straight denim jeans

What would our wardrobes look like if denim was never invented? I shudder to think. While shapes and cuts come and go, a good pair of vintage-esque jeans will last forever. Whether you’re pairing with a vintage blouse in winter, or a cute Reformation top for summer, you’re guaranteed to get a gr8 return on investment because chances are you’ll wanna wear them all day, erryday. Below are my favourites that sit at the intersection of comfortable, flattering and well-fitted, with prices to suit all budgets.

Splurge: Re/Done jeans High Rise Rigid Stove Pipe Jeans , FEEL The Genuine Jean

Save: Levi’s Wedgie Jeans, Glassons Mom Jean

For a wider selection of under-$150 jeans, here’s a little something I prepared for you earlier.

A striped shirt

Like a lot of great trends, the sudden ubiquity of the striped shirt a few years back pretty much killed it for me. But, when styled in an unexpected yet simple way—with the addition of a neck scarf, the help of a constellation of beaded jewellery or with a pair of strappy metallic heels and white jeans—the striped shirt is cool (and I imagine as carefree) as the cucumber slice in your gin & tonic. Just ask your favourite french girl on Insta. Or my moodboard for my next summer vaccay!

Splurge: Fiorucci Red & White Striped Logo T-Shirt, Current/Elliot Striped T-Shirt

Save: Madewell Striped T-shirt

A picnic-friendly dress

Find me a better outfit to eat cheese and drink wine in a park in than a romantic floral dress, and I’ll throw you a picnic myself. Under the Eiffel Tower, no less! Juxtapose the femininity of a floral dress with a pair of sneakers, or lean right into it with a pair of strappy sandals—the world is ur oyster!

Splurge: Reformation Marnie Dress, Realisation Par The Juliet Rouge Fleur

Save: ASOS Midi Tea Dress in Floral, Zara Floral Dress

A pair of strappy metallic heels

Perhaps you’ve wondered to yourself how french women always manage to look effortlessly dressed up, and I say to you, look down! More precisely at their feet, which are generally clad in a pair of très sophistiqué metallic strappy heels (or, sometimes in a pair of block heels or espadrilles.

The easiest way to go to take an outfit from being pavement-friendly to dinner party apropos is to throw a bit of metallic at your feet. Besides, who doesn’t like shiny things?

Splurge: Aquazurra Strappy Heels, Dorateymur Strappy Heels

Save: Zara Metallic Heels, Schutz Strappy Silver Heels

A pendant necklace

Sure, we’re often down to decorate our decolletages with various beaded and bedazzled jewels, but when it’s all starting to feel a bit O-T-T or you want to feel classic instead of creative with your accessories, it’s nice to revert back to the ol’ pendant necklace.

Splurge: Loren Stewart 14-Karat Gold Necklace, Lucy Folk Pendant Necklace

Save: Reliquia Seashell Pendant Necklace, Reliquia Mini Gold Pendant Necklace
