The Career Jar

This jar is for your soul's work, the work you're supposed to be doing. The job, the raise, the client, the door that hasn't open yet.

This is a corked glass jar I make by hand in small batches. It has a salt base, bay leaf, cinnamon, and Carnelian. I charge it before shipping it to you and it arrives with a petition slip, a 4" chime candle, and matches. All that's missing is your magic.

How you use it

1. Write what you want on the petition slip. Be specific! "The manager role in the spring hiring round" not "success".
2. Fold it toward you and drop it in the jar.
3. Light the candle and let the wax seal the cork.
4. Put it where you work: your desk, laptop bag, the shelf above the monitor. Then live your life.

You will get complete instructions in the box as well.

What's in the box

• The jar: salt, bay, cinnamon, Carnelian
• 4" orange or gold chime candle
• Petition slip
• Activation card with detailed steps
• Matches

You bring your desire and magic. Everything else is in the box so you don't have to store ingredients or go hunting for them at midnight.

Questions you may be asking

Do I have to be a witch to use this? Nope! You have to be able to write a sentence and light a candle safely. The jar doesn't check if you belong to a Coven. Plenty of people who'd never call themselves a witch keep one on the windowsill and would throw hands before giving it up.

Do I have to burn the candle all the way down? The 4" chime candle will give you enough wax to seal the jar with a little stub left over. You can keep it lit until it burns down completely, if you are still in the room.

Can I open it after I've sealed it? No, you can't. Opening a spell jar scatters the energy and the magic. Once it's done you can bury it on your land or in a potted plant.

Can I buy one for someone else? Yes! It arrives ready to go with everything they need, and the activation card walks them through it so you don't have to explain anything. Don't write their petition for them, that part has to be theirs.

What if nothing happens? Career jars tend to make you bolder before they make anything else happen. You send the email you'd been sitting on. You ask for the raise. Watch for things like that. The door usually opens a few weeks after you start knocking differently.

There's a special shelf in the shop. If you've got the room in your budget, you can stock a jar for a sister who can't swing one yet.
