Spell Bottle

It's a spell... in a bottle...
I was given a few small glass bottles and thought this would be a nice thing to make :) I did a few different ones - one for luck, one for wealth, one for protection, etc..

I work with runes, so I designed a bindrune for each (a combination of 2 or more runes to create a symbol that holds the energies needed for each spell.) I drew these in red ink (red is the traditional colour for runes) on a slip of birch bark, which I rolled up and placed in the bottle.

Then I chose the crystals whose energies matched the rune and added a small number of each (2 or 3 types) to each bottle.

Unfortunately I didn't have any corks for the bottles so I ended up whittling a stopper from a wooden dowel for each one :)

I quite liked them, so I made a few for my pagan friends :)
