So today we are going to talk about three special Beltane Spell Jars with the energy of the season in mind.

It is an incredibly magical time with a positive energy that is simply infectious. Anything seems possible when Beltane arrives!

What is Beltane?

Beltane, also known as May Day, is the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Celebrations tend to begin on the eve of April 30^th and continue throughout May 1^st. It’s a time to be joyful and embrace life. As well as a time to celebrate love, fertility, and the approaching summer season. If you’d like to learn more about Beltane and it’s correspondences you can check out my full post HERE.

Now let’s dive into what we will need and the process for creating Beltane Spell Jars. The ritual work we do at this time can put a special focus on manifesting love, happiness, and abundance in the weeks and months to come.

Beltane Magick

During Beltane we are celebrating life, abundance, and nature blooming full and fresh all around us. So for ourselves as well, this is an optimal time to perform magic  for abundance, happiness, love, longevity and fertility.

This can be a time where we really focus inwards and evaluate our life and how we spend our time. Are we spending energy on what is meaningful to us? Are we caring for our health and wellness and showing ourselves enough love on a daily basis? 

Embrace the invigorating energy of the season to reflect and propel yourself into new healthy habits and routines that honour your authentic self. Working on creating the happiest version of your life, where you are mindful, at peace, and enjoying the every day simple pleasures that are offered to you.

Life is full of magic. 

Take this time at Beltane to open your eyes and fully acknowledge all that is around you and within you.

Okay so here we go, three Beltane Spell Jars to help inspire your own solstice festivities and create a summer filled with love and life.

Steps for Crafting Your Beltane Spell Jars

Jar spells and rituals are probably some of my favourites. They allow you to be creative with your ingredients, can be made for any intention you may have, and as a bonus they can look and smell just beautiful!

The Process:

1. Gather your ingredients, sit comfortably in your space, and light your candle and incense.
2. Clear your mind of anything unrelated to the ritual at hand. Think about your intention. What are you creating this jar for? What will be its purpose?
3. Begin to slowly fill your jar with the ingredients listed, in any order that feels right for you. Focus your energies and feelings deep within on what it is you are trying to manifest. Allow it to feel real as though you already have it. Try to hold only positive notions throughout your ritual.
4. Envision what things will look like to have this intention strong in your daily life. What will your life look like and how will it make you feel? See clearly how you would like this goal to manifest. Stay in this space for at least a couple of minutes.
5. You can take as much time or as little as you like to complete the ritual. Savour the moments though and don’t rush. Once you feel ready, seal up your jar and tie your ribbon about the top. 
6. Hold your hands above your jar, close your eyes, and recite your spell. Either the ones provided here or your own.
7. Open your eyes and give thanks to the earth, a deity, the universe, or whatever feels right to you for this particular practice.
8. Now place your jar somewhere you will regularly see it. This can be on your altar or another place of significance. Allow the jar to inspire you, and serve as a reminder of what you envisioned for yourself, and of the positive light that was your energy while you were making it.

Remember to…

Be mindful to make everything a part of your ritual, from gathering your supplies until you place the jar in its new home. Enjoy the process, take your time, and try to be in a positive place when completing your jars.
