Spiritual Satchel
A spiritual satchel is a small bag or pouch that holds items you consider spiritually meaningful or supportive. It carries intention. Satchels can be filled with herbs, stones, written prayers, or personal objects that represent protection, grounding, healing, or connection to ancestors or spirit. You may carry your satchel during the day, leave it by your bedside for a restful night, or place it onto an altar or sacred space.
Depending your cultural background, Spiritual Satchels may also be called:
Charm bags
Medicine bags
Mojo bags
Protection Pouches
Sashes

At Rootz & Ritual we always say, Magik can be as intricate as you want it to be. Here are some ideas to start you off:
The satchel itself:
A small cloth pouch (cotton, linen, silk, or velvet are common)
ALL OF ROOTZ & RITUAL BLENDS COME WITH A ORGANIC COTTON RE-USEABLE MUSLIN BAG
Filling items (choose based on your intention):
Herbs: lavender (calm), rosemary (protection/clarity), chamomile (rest), sage (cleansing)
Stones or Crystals: small pieces that offer grounding or support
Personal Power Items: a written intention, prayer, photo, or symbolic object
Earth Elements: shells, wood, seeds, or soil from a meaningful place
Optional additions to enhance your Spiritual Satchel
Essential oils (just a drop for scent and intention)
Colored thread or ribbon to tie it closed (colors can represent different energies or purposes)
A small piece of paper or bay leaf with words, sigils, or affirmations
A Rootz & Ritual Pro Tip
The key is not to overfill it keep it simple and focused. Choose items that genuinely resonate with you rather than trying to include all the things. Feel into what feels good for you!
Blessing your Satchel
Take a moment to set your intentions
Be clear about what the satchel is meant to support
Call in guides, healed Ancestors, Gods or Goddesses to aid you in the blessing
Where to place your Satchel
Your satchel is yours to use as you wish. Find placement that aligns with your intentions.
Some wear them around their necks.
Some place them in their bags.
Some keep them on their altars or sacred space.
Some sleep with them.
I have kept mine in my bra and in the pockets of my coat.
The key is to find what feels good for you and your magik.
Disposing of Satchel
When you’re done with your Satchel, or what you called in has come into fruition, offer it back to the land or a body of water.
Say a prayer of gratitude. Keep what you need and take the rest for the great mother earth to hold.
