The honey jar spell is an ancient, traditional ritual of magic done to bring love or increase the level of affection between two people in love. This spell functions on the principle that just as honey is sweet by itself, it can also symbolically “sweeten” someone’s feelings toward you or intensify positive emotions in a partnership. This would be a good spell for anyone seeking an enhanced feeling of closeness, harmony, or attraction.

What is a Honey Jar Spell?

Honey jar spells are the simplest yet effective tools to enhance love and attraction. Originally from the folk magic traditions, honey jars are used to gently influence others’ feelings in trying to bring about positive outcomes in relationships, whether romantic, friendly, or even family-based. Honey, by its very nature, symbolizes warmth, affection, and all that is sweet. It is assumed that it extends these qualities to the person or relationship you are looking to sweeten.

Key Ingredients for a Honey Jar Spell

The honey jar spell takes a bit of preparation and requires a few supplies. To best set up an atmosphere for your spell, try casting it during the waxing moon phases—ideal for growth, attraction, and bringing new things into your life.

Timing: Waxing Moon

This spell is best performed during the waxing moon, when it is getting fuller. This phase of the moon will enhance growth and attraction and help to heighten the feelings or bond between you and the other person.

Material

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• Honey: Symbolises sweetness, love, and good attraction.
• Small Jar: This will be the vessel to hold your intention.
• Red Pen: It means love and passion.
• Red Candle: Amps up the energy around love, attraction, and desire.
• Piece of Paper: To contain the name and energy of the person you’d like to bring into your life.

Preparation and Cleaning

First, prepare your space. Cleanse it with a simple smoke cleansing, incense, or a light meditation to set the scene. Lay out your materials and clearly set your intention before beginning. Visualise precisely what you want to happen—the deepening of love or a new attraction.

Step-by-Step Guide to Performing the Honey Jar Spell

Once you have everything ready and your space cleansed, do the following:

Write the Person’s Name:

Get a small piece of paper and write the name of the person you want to draw towards you or draw positively towards you. If the person is someone you are already with, then write your names together to represent harmony and unity between the two of you.

Add the Honey:

Place the paper in the jar, folding it if you have to so that it will fit. Slowly pour honey over the paper as you continue to imagine heat and affection building up between you. While pouring, concentrate on the sweetness of honey embodying the love or connection you want to strengthen.

Seal the Jar

Close the jar tightly. This action seals your intention, keeping it enclosed with the honey’s positive energy. Visualise the jar holding all the energy of sweetness, nurturing the connection you’re building.

Light the Red Candle:

Place the red candle on top of the jar. Light it and observe the flame; feel its warmth increase the power of your spell. The red candle is for passion and attraction; it completes the honey’s nurturing energy.

Speak Your Intention:

As the candle burns, repeat the words or something like it:

“As sweet is this honey, so too may love flow to me.”

Imagine this sweetness flowing toward you, deepening affection or drawing in positive attraction from the person in your mind.

Seal with Wax:

Let a few drops of the wax fall over the lid of the jar so that you seal in your intention by the binding force of wax. Allow the candle to burn out, or snuff it out if you’re ending the spell sooner than that.

How to Work with Your Honey Jar After the Spell

Your honey jar can continue working its magic even after you’ve completed the initial spell. Here are some ways to keep its energy active:

• Relight the Spell: Every Friday (a day associated with love and attraction), place an additional red candle on top of the jar, repeating the same incantation or restating your intention.
• Creation: Take a few minutes each week to sit in meditation and visualise your intentions being pulled closer by the sweetness of honey.
• Consistency: Keep your honey jar in a sacred place, or a place you see daily, and it will continue to work as a powerful symbol for your intention.
