In many traditions of folk magic, particularly in North America, a spell is sealed inside a jar, bottle or another container. This serves a number of purposes - the first being that it keeps the magic concentrated, and prevents it from escaping before the spell has been completed. The other nice feature of a jar or bottle spell is its portability - you can take it anywhere you like, whether it’s buried under a doorstep, tucked into a hollow tree, on your night table, placed gently upon your mantle, hanging on your rearview mirror, or right beside you in your purse.
