Sweetening Jars

Sweetening, or honey jars, come from Hoodoo practices. Hoodoo is a practice that was brought to southern USA during the transatlantic slave trade. Slaves were forced to abandon their beliefs for Christianity. Therefore, many Hoodoo practices have ties to Christianity. In Hoodoo, practitioners pray to saints or their ancestors.

Sweetening and honey jars have become widely popular recently and wiccans have begun to make their own versions of this spell. Those of you with African ancestors can pray over these jars as you make them. Others can pray to saints, or any other deity they choose. For the spell below, I am going to provide a Hoodoo honey jar, and a sweetening jar with Wicca attributes. Honey jars can take up to three months to work, but most good things in life take time. Enjoy, and remember that intent is everything!
