Circle of Containment

A sigil created to contain a wide variety of energies, from excess magickal energy, stored for later use (in a stone for example), to cursed objects or negative spirits/entities, until proper disposal can be executed. This prevents said energies from seeping out into your home/space.

To use, draw the sigil, in black ink, on the lid of a box, continuing the central cross lines along the sides, so that they cross again on the box’s underside.

Within the outer circle of the sigil, inscribe the details/terms of your containment (is this containment permanent or temporary? Who can release what’s inside? etc.), again in black ink, in whatever language/script you prefer. This space can also be used to inscribe additional containment/binding sigils.

Charge the sigil using your preferred method, then place your object (s) inside. Once the object has been disposed of/is no longer useful, the box can be reused, though it is recommended to cleanse the box and recharge the sigil beforehand.

Design inspired by @qedavathegrey’s Circle of Convergence. I do so love perfect geometry….

What you do with the remains of your spell (wax, photos, ashes, etc.) is just as important as the spell itself. The spellwork does not end when the candles and the incense extinguish. The spellwork is not complete until you return the remnants back to the Earth. The Earth and the universal energy carry and propel your magick and your spellwork to its full completion. Make sure your disposal method does not contradict your desired outcome by completing your spellwork following the disposal methods outlined below:

– Notes:

• *Banishment spells refer to any spellwork where the desired goal is to remove or end undesirable conditions, circumstances, people, or habits. 
• *After performing a curse, it is best to completely disconnect from your magickal working. Not because of karma or anything external, but because you cannot thrive while being attached to the energy of destruction. You can do this by not looking back when you walk away. By walking away without looking back, you consciously (and physically) disconnect and move on with your life.

From an ecological standpoint, I do not like burying anything in the ground or tossing anything in water. Yes, it’s traditional. But is it good for the earth? Unless it’s natural and biodegradable, like food or paper or what-have-you, I personally no longer do this even though this is the way I was taught. 

^This.

The biodegradable part is VERY important. If you’re going to bury a curse jar, I suggest doing so in a planter pot. That way it’s easier to dig up if you need to as well.

Little ‘Witch Pots’ are pots made of salt dough and are great because all you need is flour/water/salt to make the dough. Once you’ve made a little pot with the dough make a lid for the pot.

You can add herbs into the dough if you wish for an extra kick to your spell. You can also draw sigils into the dough before it dries and hardens. Then all you have to do is let the pot dry and then fill it with all the items you would have put in the spell bottle. You can paint sigils onto the outside of the witches pot and then you seal the pot up with wax and bury where you please 🙂

– Oh I like that idea!! I need to do this lol. I don’t bury things unless they’re biodegradable. If not, I just burn it.

I don’t reblog very often, but this is great info!

I’m playing Balderdash…. And this happened.
