How to Package & Store Your Spell Kits Correctly (Preserving Potency)

by marketingteam@realdrseattle.com User December 16, 2025

In our practice, potency isn’t only about what’s in the kit, it’s also about how you protect it. Herbs can dull, candles can sweat, oils can oxidize, and crystals can get energetically noisy when everything is tossed into one random drawer. The good news, The Tenant of the Treehouse, brings you a few simple habits that can keep your spell kits feeling fresh, focused, and ready whenever you are.

1) Start With a Clean, Intentional Reset

Before you store anything, do a quick reset. Wipe down your storage area, clear crumbs/dust, and choose one dedicated space for your spiritual supplies. Protection work especially benefits from a tidy, consistent home base. It helps you avoid the same missteps we see people make during protection spells, here’s our guide on top mistakes people make during protection spells and how to avoid them.

2) Separate by Material to Avoid Cross-Contamination

Most kits include a mix of textures and ingredients, so organize by category:

Herbs, powders, resins, and salts: Keep them dry and sealed so they don’t pull moisture from the air.
Candles (including dressed candles): Store upright, away from heat and sunlight so they don’t warp or bleed. Our catalog notes that the candles are dressed, so keeping them stable matters for keeping the dressing intact.
Oils, sprays, and waters: Cap tightly and keep in a cool, dark place. Light and heat are the fastest way to weaken aromatics.
Crystals: Keep in a soft pouch or wrapped cloth to prevent chips and to keep them from rubbing against dressed items.

If you’re working with sets like the Spirit of Prosperity Kit, Protection & Peace Kit, Spirit of Love Kit, or Love All Over Me Kit, this simple separation keeps your intention tools from blending into one another over time.

3) Use the Right Packaging

A reliable setup looks like this:

Airtight glass jars for herbs and blends
Small tins or sturdy boxes for candles, so they don’t get dented
Leak-proof bags for oils/waters inside your main container for double protection
Silica packets in your storage bin to control humidity

Pro tip: store your candles and jars in a lidded ritual bin so your supplies aren’t constantly exposed to kitchen steam or household fragrance sprays.

4) Label Everything like You’re Your Future Best-Friend

Write the intention, date opened, and any special notes, for eg. moon phase, petition wording, or what the kit was used for. This is helpful if you build on layered work, like doing a money series, then moving into a jar working. If you’re making one, follow our step-by-step on a prosperity jar spell and label the jar with the start date so you know when it’s time to refresh it.

5) Protect the Energy Signature of Each Kit

Physical storage is half the work. And energetic storage is the other half. Keep love work, protection work, and money work in separate pouches or sections within your bin. If you want an easy system, label three inner bags- love, protection, and prosperity. Then store the tools accordingly.

When you’re choosing candles, match the color to the goal and store that set together. Our guide on how to choose the right candle color for your spell work makes it easier to keep your candle shelf organized by intention.

6) When in Doubt, Replace

Replace or retire components when:

herbs smell dusty or look faded
oils smell flat, rancid, or separated oddly
candles look sweaty/soft from heat exposure
anything picked up a musty odor (humidity is a potent killer)

7) Keep a Simple Restock Flow

Once a month, do a 5-minute inventory: check lids, wipe bottles, and re-bag anything that’s loose. If you want to see what we currently carry, kits, dressed candles, crystals, and more, keep our catalog bookmarked so your storage system matches what you actually use.

When you treat your tools with care, your magic feels clearer, stronger, and more intentional every time you reach for a kit. If you’re ready to build (or upgrade) your collection with items that are designed to hold up beautifully over time, explore the curated spell kits, dressed candles, oils, and crystals at The Tenants of the Treehouse. Browse the catalog, find the pieces that match your practice, and let your storage system and your spell work grow together.
