The Spirit/Altar Bottles

One of my favorite items to make are my Spirit/Altar bottles. I often get asked, “What are they and how do you use them?” Let me explain their purpose and significance:
1. As a Decorative Altar Piece
Spirit/Altar bottles are visually captivating and make beautiful additions to your altar. Each bottle is carefully crafted, adorned with symbols and elements that resonate with the spirit it represents. Whether used as a centerpiece or accent, these bottles bring a unique energy to your sacred space.
2. To Call in the Spirit the Bottle Was Made For
Beyond their decorative function, these bottles serve as a vessel to connect with specific spiritual energies. Each bottle is charged with the essence and frequency of the spirit it’s created for. For example, a bottle dedicated to Medusa is infused with Her energy and acts as a channel for working with Her.
When you’re ready to call upon the spirit, you invite their energy into the bottle through a focused ritual. Here’s an example of a chant to call upon Medusa:

Chant to Medusa for Spirit Bottle Work
Oh, Medusa, guardian divine,
Bearer of wisdom, power, and time.
Serpent-crowned, with gaze so fierce,
Through realms unseen, let your spirit pierce.
By the coils of your strength and the stone of your might,
Enter this vessel on this sacred night.
Protector, seer, wielder of flame,
I call you forth in your honored name.
Gorgon Queen, ancient and wise,
Guide my work with watchful eyes.
Through scales of truth and shadows deep,
Empower this bond that we now keep.
With respect I ask, with care I vow,
Medusa, hear my summons now.
Into this vessel, your presence flow,
Together we thrive, together we grow.

When performing this invocation, ensure the space is prepared with intention. Use symbols and offerings that honor the spirit—for Medusa, you might include serpentine imagery, protective stones like obsidian or serpentine, and tokens of respect. Approach with an open heart, clear intent, and deep reverence for the spirit's presence.
These Spirit/Altar bottles are both a creative expression and a powerful spiritual tool, helping you deepen your connection with the energies you seek to work with.
