A must-have for any magickal apothecary cabinet, as Juniper Berry carries so many magickal uses!
An active magickal ingredient use to guard against theft & build an energy of protection, Juniper also works to awaken creativity, activating the throat chakra & helping one to find the true joy in self expression. Historically, Juniper was often hung at the front door to reflect evil spirits, bad elements & sickness. It's crisp, pungent & strong aroma awakens many of the senses, aiding in growth towards enlightenment & drastically raising one's vibrations. This high vibration helps to banish curses, hexes or bad luck, resulting in a fun-filled, care-free lifestyle. Used for centuries to create incense, Juniper's positive, earthly energies promote a powerful belief in self manifestation, awarding the user with great strides towards their goals & dreams. This makes Juniper a magickal element for blessings, enchantment & true Joy.

But How much goes in one Jar of Refill bag?
One jar can hold up to 100 ml. That translates in about 5 tablespoons of dry herbs.
We have always gone with the volume, not the weight as some herbs whey more than others.
That way the amount stays the same.
As one jar can hold 20 grams of one herb and 100 of another, that would not be fair.
So we fill all Jars and thus Refill bags with 5 tablespoons of the dry botanicals.
If it is a large item, like a Nutmeg, we tend to go for 10 pieces. In any case, the jar will be full and the refill bag, also.
