I recently made a post about using glass terrariums for cleansing or charging objects. Here’s the masterpost on all the uses of terrariums in magic as requested!
cleansing.
fill the terrarium with smoke from cleansing incense, palo santo, sage, pine, bay leaf, or sandalwood
fill the terrarium with dirt, sand, or salt and bury it
sprinkle it with salt
dowse it with blessed/purified water (moonwater, rainwater, saltwater, holy water, tap water, etc.)
spray it with blessed disinfectant spray
blow on it until the glass fogs up after you’ve cleansed yourself
surround it with cleansing crystals (selenite, citrine, kyanite)
wrap it in a soft material and nestle the bundle into the terrarium
charging.
fill the terrarium with smoke from incense or herbs of your intent
dowse it with charmed water (sunwater, herb-infused water, etc.)
spray it with charmed air freshener matched to your intent
blow on it with your intent in mind until the glass fogs up
surround it with crystals or ingredients matched to your intent
place a tarot card of your intent in with the object and cover it
whisper a spell into the terrarium
spell work.
terrariums can be an aesthetic way to layer ingredients for a “spell bottle” without actually having to seal them in a jar and store. You can layer them with your intents and seal the spell with wax, then you can leave it to charge overnight or in the sun to manifest before discarding it. This method could be used in place of using jars for when you want the spell to emit its power into a room
aesthetic.
terrariums can be a beautiful way to display collected witchy items such seashells, pebbles, flowers, twigs, pine cones, feathers, beads, yarn, scarves, sand for fire safety, etc.
combining shit in a terrarium is cooler than in a bowl if you don’t have a cauldron
sometimes you just wanna put shit in a fancy ass bowl and wave a wand and call it witchcraft. do it my friend
