Protection Oil
I recently started up my practice again and the first thing I made was a protection candle and some oils. I haven't shared any witchy things in a while so here is how I make protection oil.
You can use any oil, I prefer to use olive oil. I also put red pepper and a rose thorn in there because I like them. I would also have added egg shell powder but I didn't have any. You can tailor this to what ever you have one hand. The world is your oyster do whatever the fuck you want. You can wear this oil, lock mirrors, windows, add to spells, ect... Personally I like to put it on before I do spell work. Stay protected witches !
Olive Oil
Salt - purification, cleansing
Sage - protection, hex breaking
Red pepper - warding, spell amplification
Parsley - protection, purification
Thyme - protection
Black salt - protection, dispel's negative energy
Rose thorn - repellent for negative energy, baneful protection
Tigers' eye - protection
A petition with intentions
Edit :
I forgot to add this the first time.
Do not put fresh herbs or shit that has water in it into your carrier oil. It can create botulism. Make sure everything you add is dried.

Yo so....
Witchcraft is actually hella customizable. You can invent shit. I don't know how this: "By the book, uber traditional, heavily controlled" thing gained so much traction, but...
You can make your own holidays
You can make your own Gods
You can design your own divination methods
You can make sigils -however the fuck you want
You can create your own theory on energy systems based on your personal experience
Write your own ethics and codes of conduct
Describe crystals or herbs by their ENERGY instead of a keyword list you got off Pinterest
Cleanse in a completely different way than the books tell you to
Literally the possibilities are unfathomably endless. And I've successfully done all of these. Go forth and get weird with it.

Dismantling spell jars can be done any way preferred! So here is my advice. First of all, if you've reached a point of feeling that you may want to dismantle a spell jar/spell jars, consider the reasons why and if these reasons are going to be beneficial to you and your journey. For instance, if the reasons may be for a temporary or short term situation you may just need to charge/cleanse your spell jars. Refer to any of my other spell jars' posts for cleansing/charging info.
Dismantling spell jars is a sad time, though it is a hopeful time of new beginnings that follows in my opinion. So if you've gotten this far, it seems perhaps that you may want to dismantle a spell jar or two, or three, or all of them, to start over, or make another if you may be feeling seasonal. It is important to gratify each spell jar as you say goodbye and part ways with them, although not forever. To dismantle a spell jar, you will have to pry each lid open, and empty all of the ingredients into the trash outside, or the trash meant for outside. Both work just fine. Gratitude, again for what these spell jars have done for you is more than significant to you and your journey, and trusting the magick of these spell jars don't stray too far; they are transmuted into the spirit with the trust of time and space and your deepest most inner heart of hearts. Practical magic works the best and goes the longest way, especially if you may be on a tight budget when it comes to finances. Once you've emptied the spell jars, toss the spell jars out too if you wish, or cleanse them and clean them out physically if you wish to reuse them for future spell jars. Once you've tossed them out, take time to mourn the physical loss of these spell jars. Lord knows we all need it. Once you feel ready to begin again, you will be.
