Help witch bottle broke

This can be interpreted in several ways.

It was most likely an accident since glass is fragile, but sometimes things break when their purpose has been fulfilled e.g. hag stones are said to break when their protective power has been used to save a life.

Witch bottles are slightly different though so I think it should be interpreted in the same way as someone who chooses to dismantlea jar. In this case, it's likely that the magic in the spell will just get released and the effects will stop. If this is the case then I suggest either taking this as a sign that this spell was not the right course of action, and you should do something else (e.g. forgive the person, ignore them, or try another spell) or you should just make a new witch bottle.

There is one more interpretation, whereby the practitioner chooses to throwthe jar in a fire until it bursts, which is an indication that the person the jar is for is being tortured, and so for you the spell would be working.

Listen to your intuition as to which interpretation is to correct you; look for signs, meditate on it, etc.

In brief; either seek another method, make a new jar, or see it as a sign that the spell worked. Use your intuition and divinate about it. Cleanse the room and yourselfboth physically and magickally, maybe burn some incense to help with the smell.

I hope this helps :)

In theory, witch bottles should be buried in the ground or hidden in chimneys or placed somewhere safe.

Probably not, but it could affect you, so probably it is better to start cleaning now. Just to be on the safe side: wash the backpack and everything that got dirty from it, use Palo Santo wood to get rid of the negative energy, call upon protecting spirits and relax, because it is not that big of a deal. It is just a little bit disgusting, but once everything is clean and "negative-energyless", no biggie.

Thank you , but I don't have Palo Santo wood??

How should I clean it?

What I should do with pins needles and glass as everything it's still in backpack!

Should i.put in garbage a d just wash in washing machine!

Thank you

I would toss it all out and wash your backpack. You can do something as simple as sprinkling salt in your home, allowing it to absorb any energy, and then sweeping it up and tossing it out. You could also burn sage leaves or sandalwood incense.

Yap it's good I did washing tossing out and salt swipe! One peace of that jar cut me on palm and small peace stayed in the flesh and I hold hand in salted water for a bit !

Thank you all such great help to a baby witch!

Oh my, be careful, remove the bit that remained in your hand and disinfect the wound. Watch it so if it gets infected you should go to the doctor. You might need antibiotics then.

If it was a malicious bottle I would personally get rid of the backpack. You can clean it then cleanse it but unless you're confident that you can effectively rid the badness, it might be better to get rid of it. Obviously, if you can't get another backpack, you can cleanse it as much as possible then the dregs of crappy energy will dissipate with time.

If it was a protective bottle, just clean up, spray your backpack with some Febreze if you need to, and cast a quick protection spell to cover you. :)

Witches bottles are designed to break, when their working is complete and they have done their job, but they are traditionally meant to be buried on properties rather than carried around. If it broke of its own accord then cleaning up the mess and creating a new one to replace it is how most people generally work around a broken bottle.

However, if the bottle has been broken by accident, I would simply clean up the mess, wash the backpack and create a new one, stored in a better location. Because of some of the acrid items that are put in traditional witches bottles, they aren't the best items to carry around as when they break it can get messy and very very smelly, as you have learned.

If the smell remains (all dependent on what items you added into the bottle) then you may need to use some incense smoke or sage, or a scent remover to help. but some items such as urine (which many people do add into more traditional bottles) may not come out so easily so you may need a new bag, depending on how bad the smell is after washing.
