To Make A Witch Bottle -
To make a witch bottle, you must first select the Bottle you want to
use. Your bottle maybe clear or tented. If your working with a colored bottle,
choose a color that suits what you are doing. Tinted Bottles are great for
spells that use color correspondences. Once you have a bottle, wash it with
warm soapy water, or cleanse it in the ocean. After you have washed it magickally
cleanse it, and bathe it in the light of the full moon. When the Bottle
is clean it is time to fill it. There are alot of options when it comes
to contents, here are a few examples:
To Make a witch bottle to aid in grounding , fill the bottle

with very sharp objects such as Nails, Pins, Saftey Pins, & Needles.
