In this guide, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to create a Wiccan love spell jar, including detailed explanations of each component and how to effectively charge the jar with your intention.
What is a Wiccan Love Spell Jar?
A spell jar is a magical tool that combines physical elements with spiritual intentions to create a powerful, lasting spell. In Wicca, the jar acts as a container that holds and focuses the energy of the spell. A love spell jar works by amplifying the energy of the ingredients inside, along with the practitioner’s intention, to attract love or improve relationships.
Love spell jars can be used for various purposes, including:
- Attracting a new romantic partner
- Strengthening or deepening an existing relationship
- Healing emotional wounds from past relationships
- Encouraging self-love and emotional well-being
Each ingredient placed in the jar is chosen for its magical properties, which align with the overall goal of the spell.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a Wiccan Love Spell Jar
Step 1: Set your intention
The first and most important step in any spell is setting a clear intention. Before you begin creating your love spell jar, take a moment to reflect on your desire. Are you looking to attract a new partner? Strengthen an existing relationship? Heal from past heartache or foster self-love? Be specific in your intention.
How to write your intention:
On a small piece of paper, write down your intention as clearly as possible. You can phrase it as an affirmation or a simple statement of what you desire. For example:
- “I welcome a loving and committed relationship into my life.”
- “My partner and I grow closer with each passing day.”
- “I release past hurt and open myself to true love.”
After writing your intention, fold the paper three times (three is a magical number in Wicca) and set it aside.
Step 2: Cleanse the Jar
Before you begin filling your spell jar, it’s important to cleanse it of any lingering energy. Cleansing helps to ensure that the jar is a pure vessel for your magical work.
Methods for cleansing:
- Smoke cleansing: Light sage, palo santo, or incense and pass the jar through the smoke while focusing on clearing away any negative or stagnant energy.
- Salt: Place the jar in a bowl of salt for a few hours to absorb any unwanted energies.
- Visualization: Hold the jar in your hands and visualize a bright white light surrounding it, clearing it of all past influences.
Once the jar is cleansed, you’re ready to begin filling it with magical ingredients.
Step 3: Add love-enhancing herbs
Each herb you add to the spell jar carries a specific energy that contributes to your intention. As you add each herb, focus on its unique properties and how they will help manifest your desire.
Suggested herbs and their meanings:
- Rose petals: Add a handful of dried rose petals to the jar, focusing on their ability to attract love and beauty.
- Lavender: Add a pinch of lavender for peace, harmony, and emotional healing in your relationships.
- Jasmine: Sprinkle jasmine flowers into the jar to increase romantic attraction and psychic connection between you and your partner.
- Yarrow: Add yarrow to strengthen emotional bonds and protect your love from negativity.
- Cinnamon: Include cinnamon for its fiery passion and ability to ignite desire and attraction.
- Hibiscus: Add hibiscus to invite sensual love and physical attraction.
Feel free to adapt the herb selection based on your intention. As you add each ingredient, say out loud how it contributes to your love spell (e.g., “I add cinnamon to ignite passion and desire in my relationship”).
Step 4: Add essential oils (Optional)
If you are using essential oils, add a few drops to the jar. Choose oils that correspond to your intention.
Suggested essential oils:
- Rose oil: For romantic love and attraction
- Lavender oil: For harmony and emotional healing
- Ylang Ylang oil: To heighten passion and physical attraction
Add the oil directly into the jar, visualizing how its scent and properties will enhance your spell.
Step 5: Add crystals (Optional)
If you’re using crystals, place them inside the jar to further amplify the energy of your spell.
Suggested crystals:
- Rose quartz: Place a small piece of rose quartz in the jar to attract unconditional love and promote emotional healing.
- Amethyst: Add amethyst for spiritual love and emotional clarity.
- Garnet: Include garnet to inspire passion and physical attraction.
Crystals help to stabilize and focus the energy of the spell. As you place each stone into the jar, visualize it glowing with the energy of love.
Step 6: Add personal items (Optional)
For an extra layer of personalization and potency, you can add items that directly connect the spell to you or your target. Personal items can create a stronger energetic link between you and the spell’s outcome.
Suggested personal items:
- Lock of hair: A strand of your hair or your partner’s can be added to the jar to personalize the spell.
- Photograph: Include a picture of you and your partner or a symbolic image of love (such as a heart).
- Jewelry or personal rokens: Small tokens that represent your relationship can be added for a more personal connection.
Step 7: Seal the Jar
Once all the ingredients have been added to the jar, it’s time to seal it. Place the folded paper with your intention inside the jar and close the lid.
To seal the spell with energy, light the red or pink candle and drip wax over the lid or cork of the jar. As you seal it, say something like:
“With this flame, I seal my spell, to manifest love, pure and well. So mote it be.”
The sealing of the jar is a symbolic way to lock in your intention and protect the spell.
Step 8: Charge the Spell Jar
To activate and charge the spell jar, you will need to infuse it with energy. One common way to charge a spell jar is by holding it in your hands and visualizing your intention manifesting. See yourself experiencing the love you desire, whether that’s a new partner, a deepened relationship, or self-love. Feel the emotions associated with this love, and imagine them flowing into the jar.
You can also place the jar on your altar under the full moon to charge it with lunar energy, which is particularly powerful for love magic.
Step 9: Place or Store the Jar
After charging the jar, place it somewhere that aligns with your intention. Here are some placement ideas:
- To attract love: Place the jar near your bed or in a sacred space dedicated to love and romance.
- For self-love: Keep the jar on your altar or in a place where you perform self-care rituals.
- For relationship harmony: Place the jar in a central area of your home where you and your partner spend time together.
If the spell is meant to be long-lasting, you can store the jar in a safe place for continued energy. If the spell is for a specific intention that will be completed (such as attracting a partner), you can bury the jar once the spell has manifested, symbolizing its completion.
Conclusion
Creating a Wiccan love spell jar is a powerful way to manifest love, whether you’re looking to attract a new partner, enhance an existing relationship, or foster self-love. By carefully selecting herbs, oils, crystals, and personal items, and focusing your intention, you can create a magical tool that will help you align with the energies of love. Through the act of creating the jar, you are not only calling on the natural world for assistance but also actively shaping the emotional and energetic flow of your life. As always in Wicca, remember to practice your love spells with positive intentions, respect for free will, and in harmony with the natural cycles of the universe.
