My opinion of the spell bottles and jars is the intention you put into making it. Selecting the different herbs and or crystals for there meaning to what you want to achieve, whether its for protection, luck, love, whatever. You can carry it with you. You can wrap a rope around it and wear it as a necklace if you want. I put mine on my shelf and when I look at it I know what it’s purpose is. And from what I understand they don’t last long, and you may have to refresh it. Not sure on that but I think I read it somewhere. I know I made one a while ago and dumped it because I couldn’t remember what was in it or what I made it for. Now I write it all down so I don’t forget. Lol
If the spell has been completed and the results have manifested, the ingredients have now served their purpose and are void. The jar can be opened, the elements safely removed from the jar and disposed of.
Some people choose to bury the remains of the spell, others prefer to toss them in water, or you could simply put them in the trash container as you give Thanks.
I tied some twine around mine and am wearing it as a necklace. Tomorrow I have to go back to work so I will carry it in my pocket. Mine was a self love spell, so it’s ongoing. Every time I have a thought about putting myself down I touch the bottle to remind me to love myself and stop the negative self talk. It has worked very well.
It just depends. Some spell bottles are made to be refreshed and kept forever. Some are made to serve a limited purpose and then be disposed of. Some are tiny enough to carry with you everywhere while others are too large and hefty.
