Witch Bottles

Witch bottles are probably quite familiar to many Pagans, at least as a concept. A witch bottle isn’t a poor little witch in a bottle, or hold something witches drink in their gatherings.

They are more akin to a “bottled spell”. The tradition originates from British folklore, traveling with British immigrants to the Americas, if not further. Many modern Pagans have included witch bottles in their collection of spells, widening and diversifying this old tradition – and making it more comparable with their personal ethics.
