How to Make a Friendship Jar Spell

Creating a friendship jar spell is simple, personal, and meaningful. Below is a step-by-step guide to crafting your own jar with magical intentions.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Jasmine flowers: Symbolic of love, connection, and spiritual harmony. Jasmine’s soothing energy promotes open communication and understanding.
• Peridot crystal: Known as the “stone of friendship,” peridot encourages joy, renewal, and the removal of negative emotions that may hinder relationships.
• Symbol of connection: This could be a charm, a photo, or an object that represents your friendship or the type of connection you wish to cultivate.
• Pink or green ribbon: Pink for love and affection, green for growth and harmony.
• Salt: For purification and protection, ensuring only positive energies influence your spell.
• Small jar with a lid: Choose a clear jar to visually connect with the energy of your spell.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cleanse Your Jar and Materials
   Before beginning, cleanse your jar and ingredients with smoke from sage, palo santo, or incense to remove any lingering energy.
2. Set Your Intention
   Hold the jar in your hands and focus on your intention. Visualize the friendship you want to strengthen or attract. Speak your intention aloud if it feels natural: “This jar is for love, joy, and a bond that grows stronger with every passing day.”
3. Add Jasmine Flowers
   Place a few jasmine flowers into the jar. As you do, think about their calming, loving energy and how it enhances your friendship.
4. Include the Peridot Crystal
   Add the peridot crystal to the jar. Imagine it radiating joy and removing any negative blocks in your connection.
5. Insert Your Symbol of Connection
   Place the chosen symbol of connection in the jar. This could be a small photo of you and your friend, a friendship bracelet, or even a written note with both of your names.
6. Add a Sprinkle of Salt
   Add a small pinch of salt to protect your friendship from negativity or outside influences.
7. Seal the Jar with a Ribbon
   Close the lid tightly and tie a pink or green ribbon around the jar. Knot it while repeating your intention: “With this jar, I honor the bonds of friendship. May they grow stronger and bring joy.”
8. Charge Your Jar
   Place the jar on your altar or in a special spot. Leave it under the light of the moon or a candle to charge with energy.

How to Use Your Friendship Jar

Once your jar is complete, you can keep it in a visible place as a reminder of your intention or carry it with you to maintain its energy. You might also meditate with the jar, focusing on your bond with a specific friend or your overall intention to attract harmonious friendships.

• Reusing materials from other spells: Always use fresh ingredients for clean energy.
• Placing the jar in a chaotic environment: Keep it in a calm, sacred space.
• Forgetting the emotional component: Infuse the jar with genuine love and gratitude.
• Ignoring planetary correspondences: Perform the spell on a day that aligns with Venus (Friday) for love and relationships.
• Neglecting to refresh the energy: Recharge the jar periodically with moonlight or intention.
• Setting a negative intention: Only work with positive goals for mutual benefit.
