Make Your Own

Witch Bottle (No Bodily Fluids Required)

Ingrdients:

  • Glass or earthenware bottle with cap/seal/cork

  • Pins/Needs

  • Red Wine

  • Rosemary

The jar should be prepared and then filled with pins/needs which work to impale the curse that has been laid on you, then red wine to drown the curse, and then finally finish by adding the rosemary, to banish the curse.

While you are doing this, repeat, outloud the below:

Pins, needles, rosemary, wine;
In this witch’s bottle of mine.
Guard against harm and enmity;
This is my will, so mote it be!

When you have completed this, bury the bottle in the furthest corner of your property.
