Plants of all kinds (including trees), herbs and roots have
been used for centuries to draw money to a person or bring
prosperity to a home. There are several ways to use a plant in
this manner: You can carry some of the substance on you. This
can be as easy as putting a tiny bit of the herb in a tiny
plastic bag and put in your pocket. An easy way is to put a
pinch of the herb into a locket. Sew a sachet or pouch. You can
buy ready made sachets or pouches that you can use for this
purpose, but you can also sew a small one using an appropriately
colored material. Green and yellow are popular colors associated
with prosperity and money one. These sachets are then tucked
under the bed or somewhere in the home, worn on a string around
the neck, put in a purse or wallet or concealed somewhere in the
home. Some people simply fill a potpourri jar with the
appropriate herbs and leave it in a prominent place in the
house. The simplest “Earth, Water, Air, Fire” Ritual is to boil
the herb for a while in the water. The Herbs are the earth, the
water is in the pot, the air is the steam and the fire element
is the stove. Occasionally stir the herb in the water while
thinking of your magical intention. Strain the plant material
from the liquid and sprinkle it around or outside the home. Use
them as Incense. Some plants are hypnotics so I don’t really
recommend this unless you are certain that the herb is not toxic
once set alight. Traditionally though, herbs are set alight on
charcoal burners and the smoke allowed to waft through the
house. Here are some of the more popular herbs used to draw
prosperity and money. Most are available in your garden or from
stores, but there are occult shops and apothecaries that carry
herbs in jars: Alfalfa – Known traditionally as the “good luck”
herb I recommend tucking a sprig of this in your purse or in a
locket. When combined with other money drawing herbs in a sachet
it is thought to reinforce the other substance’s powers.
Allspice – Can be carried on the person or burned as incense or
sprinkled in the four corners of the house. It is thought to
attract business luck or success. Bayberry – Bayberry can be
bought commercially as a candle –”A bayberry candle burned to
the socket – brings luck to the home and puts money in the
pocket.” It can also be bought as incense. Basil – Soaking basil
leaves in water for three days and then sprinkling the water at
your business premises is thought to attract financial success.
The leaves can also be carried with you. Bay Leaves – Bay leaves
increase intuition and are good if you are looking for a
promotion or a job. Tuck some under your mattress or boil them
and sprinkle the water around your home. Hallucinogenic so I do
not recommend you burn these. Chamomile – Washing your hands in
chamomile tea is thought to bring gamblers luck. Drinking the
tea is thought to bring luck and prosperity. Cloves – Cloves can
be burned on charcoal, tucked in a sachet or put in your purse
to draw money. An ancient money and protection ritual is to
stick an orange with the heads of cloves stuck on pins and hang
it on a ribbon in the kitchen so your cupboards are never bare.
Cinnamon: A very handy kitchen spice that can be used “in a
pinch” to bring quick money, it can be bought as incense or
burned on charcoal or sprinkled in a cash register or wallet to
bring business. Citronella: The leaves are thought to be good
for attracting business and also smell lovely in a potpourri.
Citronella is, however, toxic to birds – so avoid burning it in
the house if you have feathered friends in your menagerie.
Five-Finger Grass (also known as Cinquefoil): This lemony grass
can be burned, hid in a potpourri or carried on your person. It
is the standard ingredient in most money drawing incenses.
Grains of Paradise: These little round seeds are carried in the
purse or wallet or tucked in a sachet under the pillow to bring
luck and guidance in career or money matters. Honeysuckle: The
live and dried flowers are used to attract luck business and
prosperity. Irish Moss: This is seaweed that can be bought in
Caribbean stores. It is traditionally used to make a sweet
drink. It is also carried in sachets to bring money to the
bearer. Juniper Berries: Associated with Jupiter, the berries of
the juniper tree are said to attract luck, good fortune and
business success. Mint: All the mints (spearmint, peppermint)
are used to attract good spirits and speed good fortune to the
bearer. Patchouli: Added to prosperity herb mixes to reinforce
the manifestation power of your wishes. Can be bought as an
incense, it has a commanding component to it. Strawberry Leaves:
Carried on the person and used to draw fortunate circumstances
into a person’s life. Squill Root: If you can find this, it is
said to be one of the most powerful roots used to draw money to
the bearer. Tonka Beans: Tonkas are large dried beans that
protect against poverty and that are just considered plain
lucky. Place a bean in your purse, near your computer or under
your phone – anywhere where you need luck in business. Avoid
burning these.
