Guide to Making Your Own Good Luck Spell Jars

Good luck can be a surprising blessing, but “lucky” is also an intentional state of being, and good luck is not really just a coincidence. This is a vibrational state, and we can easily cultivate it through magical practices that allow us to attune to luck. 

One such powerful practice for welcoming the frequency of good luck in your life is crafting a good luck spell jar. We are going to explore exactly what is a good luck spell jar and how to make a good luck spell jar with crystals.

A good luck spell jar is a physical representation of a specific frequency you wish to embody. In this case, an attunement to good luck. The ritual of making a spell jar includes layering various naturally energizing elements, including crystals and herbs.

This ritual of creating a spell jar and the energy of this object can shift your energy to a state of clarity, connection, trust, alignment, remembrance, and divine embodiment that allows blessing to flow into your life—the experience of good luck.

Stepwise Guide to Make a Spell Jar

You can use spell jars as an energy alignment tool for a specific situation where you are calling in extra luck or to attune yourself to and experience good fortune in general. 

Here’s some guidance on tools and ingredients to consider when designing your good luck spell jar ritual and a suggested step-by-step good luck spell jar recipe you can adjust to your liking. We also consider ways of activating and using a good luck spell jar.

Tools and Ingredients for a Good Luck Spell Jar

• Jar: Ideally, it’s a clear jar with a cork closing. But a bottle of your choosing made from glass or ceramic will work well, too.
• Crystals: Learn about the different good luck crystals and choose the one that resonates the most for you to add to your spell jar.
• Plants: Specific herbs or flowers in dry, essential oils or tincture form. Choose plants that pair well with your other ingredients and that you associate with good luck.
• Incense: Any form of natural incense can be used to cleanse your space, tools, and ingredients. 
• Stationary: Paper to write down your intention as an affirmation and add it to your spell jar.
• Candle: Consider your candle color and what it will add to your spell. A white candle symbolizes clarity and purity, a yellow candle for enjoyment and playfulness with life and luck, or a gold candle for abundant luck.
• Salt: Adding salt to your spell jar contributes a cleansing effect that helps clear any energy blocking your alignment with good luck.
• Soil: Adding soil is grounding for your spell, guiding your energetic intentions of great luck into a physical experience. Ensure the soil you use is dry if you want your spell jar to stay intact for an extended period.
• Lucky Charms and Symbols: Include other elements that you consider lucky. Symbols and objects that hold memory and energy for you will make your spell super effective. You may also include universal lucky charms, such as a four-leaf clover or different cultural luck symbols or charms.

How to Activate or Use a Good Luck Spell Jar

You can activate your good luck spell jar by holding it and repeating the affirmation specific to your spell, the suggested activation affirmations related to each crystal in the summary table, or any other affirmations for good luck of your creation.

Stay deeply connected to this energy by regularly engaging in meditation, gratitude, and visualization. Keep your good luck spell jar nearby during these practices.

A spell jar is a small, physical object representing and radiating much more. It has an impact on your subconscious, energetically encoding good luck on an etheric level, which can be embodied on a physical level.

Keep your spell jar near you, in your home or workspace, to attune to this effect over time. Trust that your intentional actions can create your reality, allow good luck to flow through you, and perceive it all around you.

Spell Jar Longevity and How to Include Plants in your Good Luck Spell Jar

Plants are an essential element of a spell jar, alongside crystals and other ingredients. You can choose from the suggested plant and crystal pairing or use your knowledge and intuition.

An important practical consideration is to use plants and other organic materials in a form that will not degrade quickly within a spell jar, especially if you want the good luck spell jar to last for a longer time. You can include plants that are fully dry, essential oil form, or tincture form. 

You may also use fresh plants by refreshing your jar with new fresh plants and cleansed ingredients when needed. If you’re done with your spell jar, dispose of the organic elements in the compost once the spell is complete and clean and cleanse the reusable elements.
