Container Conjure

Crafting Magic with Jars, Bottles, Bags, and More – Starr Casas

A practical and grounded guide to container-based workings, Container Conjure explores one of the most accessible and widely used forms of folk magick.

Container work sits at the heart of many traditions, built on the understanding that intention can be held, shaped, and worked through physical objects. From jar spells and charm bags to bottles, dolls, and even living plants, these methods centre on focus, containment, and ongoing influence rather than one-off ritual.

Written by Starr Casas, a fourth-generation practitioner of Southern Conjure, this book offers direct insight into a living tradition shaped by ancestry, experience, and long-standing practice. Her approach is clear and practical, focusing on how to build, work, and maintain your own containers with intention and control.

Within these pages, readers are guided through the process of creating container-based work using simple, everyday materials. The emphasis is not on complexity, but on understanding what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how to sustain the work over time.

This book is particularly useful for those who want to move beyond surface-level spell work and develop a more hands-on, structured approach to their practice.

• Explores jar work, bottle spells, charm bags, dolls, and organic containers
• Focuses on building and maintaining working containers over time
• Draws from traditional Southern Conjure practice and lived experience
• Encourages personal responsibility, discernment, and consistency in the work
• Suitable for both beginners and those refining an existing practice

Container work is often described as simple, but it is not passive. It requires attention, intention, and an understanding that the practitioner themselves is part of the working. As echoed across conjure traditions, the tools support the work, but the work itself comes from the individual.
