The Most Basic Honey Jar Ever

Hey there lovies,

In the last few weeks I've been discussing honey jars (aka sweet jars) with several people, and, since I really find it much easier to write something out ONCE (though I'm sure we've been through this before on this blog, ha,) rather than re-write it several times, I figured I'd post the most bare-bones sweet jar there is. There are fancier ones, of course, and I've even put a few of those fancy ones here on this blog, but let's do the "skeletal version" – not least of all because I assume that more or less all of you can do this with pretty much no ordering anything fancy or special, – this stuff might even be in your home right now. 

The ingredients are:
A sweetener (this can be honey, corn syrup, or even mock maple syrup like Mrs Buttersworth,)
Table sugar
An image of your target or a personal item from them (aka witness sample)
A pen and paper
A jar
Candles, preferably pink (I use tea lights, but smaller candles are suggested, either way.) 
This jar is worked every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Traditionally a lot of people use honey, but I often use Karo syrup (corn syrup.) It's not only cheaper, it also does the job just as well. Store brand/generic is just fine. And by table sugar, I mean white sugar. It doesn't have to be fancy….I know someone who would brag to me years ago that she used this fine-grain white sugar (not confectioner's sugar, just like a "fancier" version of table sugar, if such a thing exists,) and that she felt it was superior. It's actually the exact same thing chemically, and if you want to pay an extra $1 or 50c or something, and feel fancy when it's THE SAME THING, you go right ahead. I almost always use store brand white sugar, and skip the added cost of having a brand name on it. ;) 

Now that you're all sitting there with sugar and some sort of sweet syrup and wondering why the heck I told you to grab that stuff, what is a honey jar for, specifically? Well, it's to sweeten someone up. So, if someone angry or cold or even a bit mean to you, that's why you make a honey jar. 

I know people who suggest this is a superb way to reconcile a very angry ex. I do not entirely agree with that. I would say that this is most beneficial in a situation where you are still with the person (if working on a romantic scenario,) or still actively a part of this person's life (so they haven't blocked you out completely.) So, if Mr NinjaCat is all angry and fussy with me – regardless of whether or not I am the cause of his behavior, – I might use a sweet jar to calm him down and make him more attentive and loving. to soften is angry and sour behavior. 

And before I proceed, a note – the above is far more simple than my own honey jar. I would also add in specific herbs, possibly an oil or three, and if I'm being fair, I like to use an image of the target from time to time, where I've used the image as my name paper. Today, we are just focusing on how you can make the most simple and effective honey jar – not "what sort of complicated versions does Cat use?" :) 

Ready? Good. 

Write your name paper out using the name of the target 9 times like this:
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)
(Firstname Lastname)

Now turn the paper clockwise so that the names are running vertically (up and down) and write the command across the names 9 times, for example

Loves and forgives (your full name or petitioner's name)
Loves and forgives (your full name or petitioner's name)
Loves and forgives (your full name or petitioner's name) (x6 more times)

Spit into the center of the paper, and place the witness sample (aka the personal item or photo) into the center of the paper. Now fold the paper in half TOWARDS you. Turn the paper and fold it in half TOWARDS you again. Now drop this into the jar. Fill the jar with your sweet syrup. Place the lid tightly on the jar. 

Hold your hands on either side of the jar, and try to envision yourself and the target engaged in a warm and happy embrace. If you feel as if you can send energy, try to send pink energy into the jar to fill it as you keep this vision in your mind's eye. Now grasp the jar and shake it it, while you say "Sweet, sweet thoughts of me  you will think constantly!" nine times. Now place the jar on your altar (or tabletop if you have nothing else,) and place a candle on top of the jar. Light the candle and say (name of target,) think only sweet and kind thoughts of me, feel your heart warm and open to me, as is my will so mote it be!" Allow the candle to burn out. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, repeat the process until the target has sweetened up towards you. You may reuse the jar for up to a year, so long as it isn't moldy. Remove any wax drippings from the jar as the accumulate to prevent fire hazard.

See, it's super simple. Anyone can do it. It also probably costs you less than $3 to create it AND a bag of tea lights (like 30-50 of these are a few bucks – you can even get them off of Amazon), so it's not even expensive to run a sweet jar. 

Hope that was enlightening!
