There is a classic joke on the internet about how witches collect \u201cthings,\u201d such as rocks and twigs, books and crystals, bits of fabric and jars. It\u2019s true. I\u2019ve yet to meet anyone who identifies as a witch that doesn\u2019t have piles, boxes, or baskets full of stuff. Even me, who most would barely categorize as a witch, have bowls, baskets, and bottles of \u201cstuff\u201d because you just \u201cnever know.\u201d I\u2019m not saying all pack rats are witches, but certainly most witches are pack rats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I have all this stuff? For when books like \u201cContainer Conjure: Crafting Magic with Jars, Bottles, Bags, & More\u201d by Starr Casas come along. To call \u201cContainer Conjure\u201d an inspiration to a magical magpie like myself is an understatement. Sure, I\u2019ve made a mojo bag or protective jar on occasion, but Casas opened my eyes to many unexplored opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book covers 15 different reasons\/motivations for creating a container, and discusses so many things that can contain your work, jars, bottles, bags, tires, gourds, pincushions, conch shells, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ever had an interest in working with containers, I promise you will find \u201cContainer Conjure\u201d an invigorating read! And with a foreword from my favorite North American Folk Magic nerd Cory Thomas Hutcheson, you cannot go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
