Hello, birainluv --
ConjureMan Ali, one of our best Forum Moderators and a member of the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers, gave a fantastic workshop on how to make spirit bottles, spirit traps, and other spirit containers at the Hoodoo Heritage Festical a few years ago. He wrote out all of his instructions, and they can be found in our festival compilation book, "The Black Folder." We do't copy out printed spells to this forum, but that book is a bargain at $12.00, and it contains hundreds of other great spells.
And, as Stan Lee used to say, "Be sure to save your sheckels, kids," because we are about to announce the publication of the book that will answer ALL of your questions about Bottle, Box, Jar, Bucket, Packet, and Freezer Spells -- and give you answers to questions you never even knew you had! This will be one of our amazing $9.00 books, containing more than 100 spells, and it is being written even as i type by the tenacious team of Forum Administrators and AIRR members Lara Rivera and (blush) yours truly, cat yronwode. Look for further details in this very thread, as soon as we have the cover art ready to share. It will be released in early Spring 2020.
But in the meantime, you cannot go wrong with The Black Folder" -- and i have marked the section that will help you by placing it in bold type.
