The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the road has gone And I must follow if I can
For when you really really need a change in life, and want to bring in a new adventure. (Dwarves not included)
Ginger – for bringing adventure and new experiences. Be heavy handed with this one, it’s the main purpose of the jar.
Cinnamon – multi-purpose, it represents whatever your journey is about (spirituality, success, healing, protection, power, love, luck, strength, prosperity, etc. If it’s part of your personal journey, it’s probably a cinnamon correspondence)
Ground Coffee – to dispel negative thoughts, overcome internal blocks, bring peace of mind, and keep you grounded. Basically erase all doubts that might hold you back in your new adventure.
Also associated with happiness, and I always recommend having SOMETHING in your jar/sachet spells for happiness, because you do NOT want a new adventure that’s basically going to be walking through hell and back.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – for bringing a new beginning through banishment of the old. This is one of my personal correspondences, and you can skip it if you want to or don’t think you need it. I use it as an “out with the old, in with the new” ingredient. Like autumn, and the death of the old to make way for the renewal in spring.
Powdered Egg Shell – for protection. Because as I said before, the last thing you want is to invite a new adventure only to have it turn out to be hell.
Frankincense (essential oil or resin) – for successful ventures
NOTE: If using the essential oil, I create a salt first, since I don’t like adding wet ingredients to a dry jar when I can help it. See how I do it here.
I find it helpful to say aloud the intent of each ingredient as I put it into the jar, especially with something like the cinnamon, where there’s many meanings it could have.
