Salary Increase Spell Jar: Sustained Magic for Career Growth

BY NICOLE LAU

A spell jar is sustained magic in a bottle. Unlike a one-time candle spell, a jar spell works continuously—keeping your intention active until it manifests.

For salary increases, this sustained energy is exactly what you need. You're building momentum toward ongoing professional success and financial growth.

Why Spell Jars Work for Career Growth

Spell jars keep your intention alive and active. Every time you see it or shake it, you're reactivating the magic and reminding your subconscious: I am working toward this goal.

What You Need

Container: Glass jar with tight lid (4-8 oz mason jar works perfectly)

Herbs (choose 3-5): Basil (success), Cinnamon (fast money), Bay leaves (victory), Mint (prosperity), Rosemary (recognition)

Crystals (choose 1-3): Citrine (manifestation), Pyrite (wealth), Green aventurine (opportunity)

Money symbols: 3-9 coins, dollar bill folded toward you, or gold glitter

Written petition: Your specific salary goal on paper

Seal: Green candle wax (optional)

How to Create Your Jar

Best timing: New Moon, Waxing Moon, Thursday, or 2-4 weeks before asking for a raise

Step 1: Cleanse (5 min) Cleanse workspace and jar with smoke or salt water

Step 2: Ground (3 min) Breathe deeply, connect to your intention

Step 3: Write petition (5 min) Write: I am earning $[amount] per year. I am valued and compensated fairly. This manifests now. Fold toward you 3 times.

Step 4: Layer ingredients (10 min) Add in order, stating purpose of each: Salt base, petition paper, herbs layer by layer, crystals, coins, final herb layer

Step 5: Charge (5 min) Hold jar, visualize golden light charging it. Say: This jar manifests my salary increase. I am earning [amount]. I am valued. So it is.

Step 6: Seal (3 min) Screw lid tight. Drip green wax around lid if using.

Step 7: Activate (2 min) Shake jar: I activate this spell. My salary increases. I am recognized and rewarded.

Step 8: Place Put where you'll see it daily—desk, altar, workspace

Keep It Working

Daily: Touch or shake jar, say This jar is working. My salary is increasing.

Weekly: Hold jar, visualize goal for 2-3 minutes

New Moon: Recharge under moonlight overnight

The Practical Actions (Required)

The jar supports your efforts—it doesn't replace them. You must:

1. Document your value (projects, results, skills)

2. Research market rates for your role

3. Schedule meeting with your boss

4. Practice your ask confidently

5. Be willing to look elsewhere if needed

When You Get the Raise

Thank the jar. Either bury contents in your yard, refresh with new intention, or dispose respectfully and cleanse jar for future use. Celebrate your win!
