Container Magic: Spellcraft Using Sachets, Bottles, Poppets & Jars

Not exactly what I was expecting! The author provides a lot of information about her personal journey which is nice, this book compared and contrasts different Hoodoo and witchcraft practices when it comes to container magic.

The book doesn't hesitate on information.Easy-to-use and well-informed.

I purchased this as a gift and was much appreciated!

Nice quality little book. Lots of great information.

It was title that initially made me want to read this, but I immediately noticed both the artful way this book is laid out and the font! It’s the perfect aesthetic✨The subject matter is easily determined from the title— “Container magic takes containers used for storage and turns them into powerful magical tools.”And it’s definitely true to its purpose of helping people find creative ways to craft charms or mojo bags brimming with magical intention. Bedell goes on to explain how “everything is energy” a fundamental belief of mine (that I’ve written more than a few articles about!), most healers in energy medicine and of course, Einstein.Bedell really spells it out for you, something that’s bound to benefit beginners of these kinds of practices, plus she provides cleaning and cleansing instructions, as well as info on discarding — always a good to know!Overall this is a great resource that walks you through all the steps of what to add to your magical container, what the meaning or correspondences are behind that category or item, and how to go about making it your own; programming, charging and recharging it, you name it, Bedell’s got it covered in this realm.The exercises are a fantastic way to get started and they remove the guesswork allowing newbies or seasoned crafters to step into a new way of thinking and build confidence in crafting their own rituals. Her suggestions for budding specific containers around family, protection, money, and health etc., provide solid building blocks with step-by-step instruction.I couldn’t help but think … never mind saving magical jar recipes on social that you have to dig and search for when the time comes — this book has everything you need at your fingertips, which will definitely save time.Seasoned energy workers or practitioners will undoubtedly have their own unique flair to add (don’t we always? 😆) but this guide is like an old friend, taking you by the hand and reminding you to live purposefully, always find the magic, and maybe even carry it with you.

I turn to this book any time I want to make a working, it has so many examples of different sachets, poppets, jars, and bottles, which is how I usually work. It teaches you how to prep, cleanse, and cast even if you’re not doing container magic. You will learn what the different herbs, crystals, and physical materials of the spells can do so you can create your own workings to fit the occasion in addition to the PAGES AND PAGES of recipes for different container workings already made for you.The information is presented so clearly and accessibly, you don’t need to have any basis of understanding of workings or witchcraft to get right into it. It doesn’t assume you being to one faith or another and the workings in this book can fit easily into your religious practices. I really can’t say enough good things about this book, I am planning on gifting this book to all my witchy friends!!

Charity Bedell has written a very cohesive and practical book for anyone interested in container magic. I found the section on how to choose a container very worthwhile as well as what to do with it once you are committed to using it. The directions are sequenced in a understandable and intelligent way which kind of answers questions you might have as you are working at a goal. My favorite work was one calling on St Peter for opening the way for a better life. This book is timely in it explains what other texts omits as to why you do certain things as well as when to do them. Excellent!

This book is really comprehensive and detailed! It could use an additional appendix that covers spells by ingredient and I wish it was spiral bound, but other than those two things, it's a great resource.

Very complete, an indispensable work for anyone who studies and practices this type of Magick.

Brilliant subject matter.
