honey jar

Bear-shaped kitchen staple

A honey jar is a container for storing honey, typically a glass jar with a lid.

In folk magic traditions, particularly hoodoo, a honey jar is a spell vessel—a jar filled with honey and personal items intended to sweeten someone's disposition toward you: She made a honey jar to improve her relationship with her boss.

The practice involves adding names, photographs, or personal effects to the honey, sometimes with candles burned on top.
