How to Charge Your Spell Jar (and Actually Feel the Energy Shift)

You gathered the herbs. You sealed the jar. You whispered your intention. But now what?

Whether you're brand new to spell jars or deep in your magical practice, learning how to charge your jar with energy can make all the difference in how powerful it feels — and how aligned it stays with your intention.

✨ What Does It Mean to “Charge” a Spell Jar?

Charging is the process of infusing your spell jar with energy — either your own, energy from nature, or support from a spiritual source. It turns your jar from a pretty object into a vessel of aligned intention.

🔮 3 Simple Ways to Charge Your Spell Jar

1. Speak It Into Power

Hold your jar in both hands, close your eyes, and say your intention out loud. The more emotion you bring, the stronger the charge. Think of it like an energetic voice memo to the Universe.

Example: “This jar calls in abundance, unexpected income, and financial clarity. I am open to receive.”

2. Charge with Moonlight or Sunlight

Leave your jar under the full moon, a bright sunbeam, or even a stormy sky — whatever matches your intention. Light is energy, and your jar will soak it up like a crystal.

• Use moonlight for emotional healing, intuition, clarity, and release
• Use sunlight for confidence, action, power, and motivation

3. Use Your Hands (Yes, Really)

Place your hands above or around the jar and imagine energy flowing from your palms into it. Some people feel heat or tingles — others just feel calm and focused. Trust your process.

🌙 Optional: Add a Boost

Want to go deeper? Try placing your jar on your altar, next to a candle or crystal, or near a sigil that matches your goal. You can even anoint the lid with a bit of oil (like cinnamon for money, lavender for calm, etc.).

💫 How Often Should I Recharge My Spell Jar?

If your intention is ongoing (like protection or abundance), recharge it every full moon or whenever it feels energetically “dusty.” If it’s a short-term spell (like a job interview), you don’t need to recharge it unless you want to boost results.
