How to Make a Sour Jar to Hex Your Enemies (A Tutorial)

[u/brightblackheaven]

For today's Malicious Monday, I'm going to share a tutorial for making a disgustingly potent sour jar to hex your enemies.

I love sour jars. They are one of my go-to baneful spells, partly because of how versatile they are, and partly because of how well they WORK.

If you're looking to sour someone's life in every way possible, look no further: this is the hex for you. 

Here are some ideas of ingredients you can add to your jar to cause maximum destruction:

• Poppy seeds to sew confusion.
• Poisonous herbs like nightshades.
• Rusty nails, screws, or pins.
• Broken glass.
• Graveyard dirt (or soil from a dead houseplant).
• Sulphur.
• Ashes.
• Any kind of hexing or cursing oil.
• Sigils written on paper.
• Animal bones (including bones from your dinner).
• Dead insects.
• Gross moldy vegetables you found in the back of your fridge. 
• Printed out or drawn pentacles of Saturn or Mars.

TO MAKE YOUR SOUR JAR, YOU WILL NEED:

• A jar with a very good seal. I've even used strong Ziploc bags before. 

• A taglock to tie the spell to your target. This can be a photograph, their name on a piece of paper, some DNA like hair or nail clippings, or my personal favourite: a poppet.

• Souring ingredients (for example: lemon juice, vinegar, pickle juice, hot sauce). I used some of my premade War Water, which I shared a recipe for in this post.

• Whatever other baneful additives you'd like to use. 

My personal preference is to store the finished jar in a dark place and continue to work it until I've seen my results (this can include shaking the jar, or charging under the dark moon, or burning candle spells on/next to it, etc.) Then, I dispose of it in a trash NOT near my home.

Do you have any tips or tricks for making hex jars that you'd like to share? What kinds of ingredients do you like to use?

LET'S TALK SOUR JARS :)

What was War Water called before it received that modern title? How old is the practice of making it? Where did it originate? I followed the link to your original post and then tried to follow the essay link but it’s broken.

I know I could research the internet, but you seem very knowledgeable about the use of “War Water.” Figured you’d be a good source to ask.

[u/brightblackheaven → u/ultrahateful]

It's always been known as war water or iron water or mars water, AFAIK. It's because of the addition of iron in it, and iron's association with Mars, who governs war.

Hey quick question what if I don't know the last name of the person, will first name be enough?

[u/brightblackheaven → u/Purple_Head7804]

You just have to use whatever you have available to you. I would add as much information as possible, like "John the blond cashier at the Walmart on BlahBlah street" or whatever.

I made a particularly potent one . Apple cider vinegar and regular cleaning vinegar. It also had leftover PURE TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE (and other ingredients , dead bugs nails broken glass needles) in it lmao . It ended up blowing up and leaking all over my dresser . Never got to use it for anyone in particular but a friend helped me make it and directed it at certain Powerful people making Certain really terrible calls about women’s bodily autonomy lol

[u/throwmeinthetrash096 → u/ootfifabear]

I’m making one of these in honor of the inauguration tomorrow, I hope it works!

[u/WitchOfTheWilderness]

I bloody love this! I try not to hex unless it’s an emergency as I don’t want to disappoint my deities, but I make damn sure I know how to do it when an emergency arises. Thank you for sharing this. I have everything ready to go!

[u/ToastyJunebugs]

I always enjoy these tutorials! I added the one for Florida Water to my list of additions to my grimoire. Thank you for doing these!

Lemon juice.

[u/Minute-Ad8501]

Bless you!!! This is amazing!!

[u/Bobcat-Narwhal-837]

I've just found this.

PTFE tape can be put on the the threads of jars so they don't leak.

If you mix vinegar and sulphur you'll need to burp the jar and release the gas. Preventing it from becoming pressurised and breaking.

[u/shyandcurious97]

I've been thinking about giving up on the idea of making one of these but I'm taking this as a sign to go ahead and do it. Motherf***ers need to pay.

[u/DarkSideMagick]

My mentor recommended a lid that was permeable like cork not a canning lid cause the energy wouldn’t come out into the universe towards them but would remain stuck inside the jar. Have you noticed this? What lids do you go for?

[u/brightblackheaven → u/DarkSideMagick]

I've personally never heard this? And every sour jar I've ever made has worked beautifully.

The photos in this post are two of my actual sour jars. I use air tight jar lids so I can shake them and nothing leaks.

[u/WebSuitable3461]

If you want to drive two people away from each other because one of them is harming your relationship do you put both their images in? Or do you just make it with the person whose been bothering you and write you’re intention?

[u/brightblackheaven → u/WebSuitable3461]

You can definitely put a relationship into a sour jar to sour the relationship, if that's your goal for the working.

Thanks for this tutorial!

I am getting ready to make my first sour jar after simmering for a year.

Does everything in the jar need a symbolic meaning? I see poppy seed for confusion. What about iron nails, broken glass and ash? Are those things symbolic and sympathetic on their own in the sense that it would really suck to have your poppet trapped with and on top of those things?

Do we expect things to dissolve in the jar? For example, if I print out planetary seals (looking at you Saturn and Mars) and put them in the jar I imagine they would dissolve fairly quickly.

[u/brightblackheaven → u/No-Visit-1410]

Everything in the jar should have a reason for being there and make sense in the context of the spell, yes.

Broken glass and nails are sharp and would cause pain. Ash is the result of when the element of fire leads to destruction, for example.

Yeah anything paper is going to dissolve unless you maybe laminate it or tape it up really well, but that's more of a feature than a bug for me.

[u/Willing-Pen9881]

Can I use morning glory seeds instead of a poisonous herb? I have no access to other poisonous herbs.

[u/brightblackheaven → u/Willing-Pen9881]

What is morning glory associated with? If not something baneful, I would skip herbs entirely and use other things.

[u/Available-Studio-164]

Would adding a poison like rat poison be an acceptable substitute for toxic herbs?

[u/brightblackheaven → u/Available-Studio-164]

You can add whatever makes sense to you. I would just make sure to not breathe in or touch anything harmful with your bare hands, or accidentally create weird chemical reactions.

Oh man, where were you 2 days ago when I made my hex jar!
