Did We Find a Witch Bottle?! How to Make One for Protection

We might have discovered a witch bottle in our back yard!



Dan and I were doing some yard work a few days ago since the sun was out and it was a gorgeous day. Our house is over 100 years old and near the back of the property every spring Dan goes back to pick up whatever broken glass he can find. When the ground freezes and thaws over the winter it pushes up glass, bottle caps, and other items to the surface. Dan found quite a bit of glass, among the glass he found was a weird little bottle full of dirt and residue of some kind.



The lid was gone and we have some evidence that it was probably either rubber or cork and likely rotted away, but there were a couple items inside, and one of them in particular was pretty standard in old traditional witch bottles! A couple of the pieces of glass were the bottoms of bottles so I was able to do a bit of research online and have figured that much of the glass in the back of the yard is probably early 1920's, to 1940's-50's. We live in a small town, back when this house was built it was still pretty rural, so it's possible that some of the Ozark witchcraft and folk magic traditions were still in practice at the time.



I decided to do a video to share it with you guys. I’ll also show you how to make your own witch bottle for protection.  A witch bottle is a traditional method for home protection that goes back centuries, these have been found in archaeological digs in America and Europe. It’s a traditional folk magic protection spell that’s easy enough for beginners and uses simple ingredients. The witch bottle was specifically used to ward against baneful magic.



Did we really find a witch bottle? I’ll tell you my thoughts and walk you through step-by-step while I make one.





I hope you enjoy it!

Be Your Magic!

Green Man Money Jar Spell

I've wanted to do it for awhile, and I finally did it~ I'm on YouTube! This is my second video, I'm trying to manage posting every Saturday, but this one ended up being posted on Monday. My first one was a Beltane Beauty spell, you can find it on my channel. I did this video without my glasses, the reflection of the light in my lenses was a bit of a distraction. I'm shooting right now with my iPhone clipped to a floor lamp and a small selfie light up in my studio and editing in iMovie on my phone. It's not a very professional setup, but I'm not unhappy with the results. I need to get a better light. For sure. My son Tristan suggested that I get a copy of Premiere Elements for my computer, he can teach me since he has Premiere and is an editing wiz himself. So we'll see. Maybe you'll be able to watch my videos improve with time.

About the Spell

Green Man is the joyous laughing Spirit of the green woods: Here's a really easy spell to help you attract the energies of this spirit of growth and abundance to help you open up to limitless abundance and bring more money into your life. This spell was inspired by my article “The Green Man: Spirit of Abundance” published in Llewellyn’s 2012 Magical Almanac.
I wanted to make this a spell that anyone could do with stuff they probably had around the house. That being said, feel free to add other items associated with prosperity and money drawing to your Green Man Money Jar if you wish.
When I write spells, I really don't mind a bit if people want to change it around, make additions or substitutions, in fact, I encourage it. Magic and spell work should be a creative endeavor so I think it's perfectly wonderful if people want to take a spell and add their own twist to it.
Feel free to make changes as you wish to this spell, I always change stuff to suit my needs. Enjoy it and make it your own!

If you go to my YouTube channel you'll find a link to download the Green Man jar label seen in this video to color and add to your own spell!

I hope you have fun with this one, more to come in the future.

If you liked this spell and want to see me make more videos like this, please like and subscribe on YouTube. If you decide to post a photo of your awesome Green Man Money Jar on social media, please tag me, I'm delighted to see how yours turns out! I'm @mickiemueller on every platform.


Blessed Be!
