One day, during middle school years, one of my teachers had us make a jar. I forgot the entire point, but I remember wanting to preserve fall. I love it, as well as winter. But especially since I live in the South, fall is much easier to preserve in the fall. I picked up my favorite kind of leaves and things and tossed them in, closed the jar, and painted what's supposed to be representation of flame and fall; embers and dark leaves. Its very derpy haha I haven't, since, opened it. Its been at least 7 years. I kept it all this time because something about it was special. More special than the contents, as I could make 20 of these without blinking. But it gave me a similar feeling, I realized recently, that my long-since-made spell jar gave me; I don't want to just get rid of you.. maybe use you? But I had no reason, then, to think of using dead, partly molded leaves. But now im wondering... Wonderin aside, I just thought its a cute lil thing ill show :3 i prolly will make another someday. I wanted to do all 4 seasons but there's really only 2 where I live lol. Fall and spring are just prerequisites 😭 and I also felt if I made more, my mother would inevitably put her negative energies on them and I'm so serious about energies. Especially anything in my spaces 🤺 I do think this is like... One whispered sentence away from being a proper spell jar, of what spell idk, but i just find it cute
