Crafty Fridays - A spell jar to change anger into usable energy

Unlike my last two, this one isn't meant to look pretty. It's meant to be shaken around and have the ingredients all mix together.

Now, if you've ever been angry at someone or something you know that once you are sometimes it's nearly impossible to do anything else. You want to be productive, get back to work, whatever, but all you can focus on is that anger and you just sit and it seethes in you. I grew up being emotionally, mentally and verbally abused by my mother and grandmother for the better part of 20 years and there was nothing I can do about it. Most forms of retaliation could easily be traced back to me, and as soon as I was to blame (even in the multiple cases where I was not responsible) my life became a living hell more than it already was.

After years of this, I had nothing to do but be angry about it. I spent so much time angry I began to wonder....If I could harness that angry energy and transform it into energy I could actually use on being something other than angry all the time, what would happen? So I put my head and my witchcraft together and came up with something. Sadly the original was lost in the move to my present location so the photo is my remake, but it work all the same.

This jar contains the following;

  • Salt - in this jar it functions to help cleanse the energy of the negative anger so it can be more usable.
  • Clear Quartz - functions the same as the salt, and enhances that particular property
  • Coffee Grounds - in my craft I link coffee to having the energy to do productive things, so that's what the grounds bring to this jar.
  • Red Pepper Flakes - I link hot foods to the concept of motivation, so in this jar they function to give me the motivation to do things other than be angry all the time.
  • Glitter - to add some color, and because glitter is reflective which helps bounce the energy around before reflecting it back out to be used.

I sealed this one in blue wax to match the glitter color and because I associate blue in general with calming. This is to help take the anger out of the energy and make it more usable as well.

With the old one, and with this remake, when I get angry I pick it up and shake it kind of like a stress toy. I focus on that angry energy going in and being stored until I have none left in me. Then I usually self-care with something like a shower or bath or just some good food and sleep and crying.

When I'm all done with that and have a lack of energy I turn back to this jar and give it another shake to let it all out and set it in my work space. Then I find that I have productive energy up the wazoo and can get stuff done for a good long while afterwards.

If you find yourself in a similar situation I hope that this jar may be helpful to you. Or just something to use every now and again in case you need it.
