Earth Day is the perfect time to deepen your connection with the natural world and honor the planet we call home. Creating an Earth Day Jar is a simple yet powerful way to attune to nature’s grounding, nurturing energy.

By combining earthy elements like moss, turquoise, and an earth symbol, you can craft a magical tool to help you feel more centered, balanced, and in harmony with the living world around you. Let’s explore how to make your own Earth Day Jar spell!

Gathering Your Earth Day Jar Ingredients

To create your Earth Day Jar, you’ll need:

• A clear glass jar with a lid (mason jars or recycled jars work great)
• A handful of fresh moss (responsibly foraged or purchased)
• A turquoise stone or crystal
• A small twig, stone, or clay piece to represent the earth element
• Potting soil or natural earth
• Purified water or rainwater
• Optional: Small mushroom or acorn charms, dried flowers, or herbs

Choose a jar that feels good in your hands and suits your earthy aesthetic. Moss is a lush, grounding plant that connects us to the forest floor and the magic of green, growing things. Turquoise is a stone of balance that helps us attune to the earth’s healing energies. The earth symbol anchors your intention and serves as a focal point. Feel free to add other natural elements that speak to you.

Crafting Your Earth Day Jar

On Earth Day or any day you feel called to connect with nature, gather your supplies in a quiet, peaceful setting. A mossy forest nook, your backyard garden, or a cozy spot in your home surrounded by plants and nature art are all perfect.

Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Take a few deep breaths and feel your connection to the earth beneath you. Express your gratitude for all the gifts and teachings nature shares with you. When you feel peaceful and present, hold your jar and state your intention to deepen your relationship with the earth.

Add a layer of potting soil or natural earth to the bottom of your jar, then gently tuck in the moss. Nestle your turquoise stone and earth symbol into the bed of moss. If you’re using any charms or dried plants, add those as well. Take your time and let your intuition guide you. As you assemble your spell jar, visualize yourself feeling grounded, centered, and attuned to nature’s wisdom.

Once you’re satisfied with your arrangement, slowly pour the purified water or rainwater over the contents until the soil is damp but not soggy. As you do, feel yourself being nourished and cleansed by the element of water, just as the earth is. Seal the lid tightly.

Hold your completed Earth Day Jar close to your heart. Imagine the living energy of the moss, stone, and soil infusing your being, connecting you more deeply to the web of life. You might recite a prayer, poem, or affirmation honoring your kinship with nature. When you feel ready, place your jar on your altar, nightstand, or work space where you’ll see it often.

Working with Your Earth Day Jar

Your Earth Day Jar is a powerful ally for deepening your earth connection. Whenever you need to ground, center, or reconnect with nature, hold your jar and take a few slow, deep breaths. Gaze at the lush moss and let it soothe your eyes and spirit. Trace your fingers over the turquoise stone and feel its stabilizing energy. Contemplate the earth symbol and remember that you are part of this living, sacred planet.

(Overwhelmed? Light a virtual candle and take 5 minutes. It actually helps.)

You can also use your jar as a focal point for earth-honoring meditations and rituals. Place your hands on the jar as you sit quietly and attune to the subtle rhythms and messages of the natural world. Or set it on your altar when you do a grounding ritual or earth gratitude practice.

I made my first Earth Day Jar during a time when I was feeling stressed and disconnected. I gathered the supplies on a hike in a nearby forest, carefully collecting vibrant green moss from an old log and selecting a beautiful oak twig and red jasper stone.

Crafting the spell jar helped me slow down and remember what really matters. Now, the earthy jar sits on my desk, nestled between a piece of bark and a jar of acorns. Whenever I see it, I smile and feel my shoulders relax. It’s become a treasured part of my daily ritual for finding balance and groundedness in the midst of my busy life.

As the wheel of the year turns, let your Earth Day Jar be a reminder of the magic and beauty of the natural world. Refresh it with new moss and intentions as the seasons shift, and let it inspire you to live in greater harmony with the earth. May your Earth Day Jar be a blessing for you and our wondrous planet!
