✨Pine Cone Prosperity Spell ✨

Here’s a spell I created to both protect your household from harsh times while also drawing in prosperity and wealth. Here is what you will need:

🍂 A small spray bottle 🍂 Almond Oil for prosperity and wealth 🍂 Cinnamon* for power, prosperity, protection and wealth 🍂 Spring Water for prosperity, protection and purification 🍂 Garnet for catalyzing spells and prosperity 🍂 Pine Cone for prosperity, protection and purification and wealth Ready yourself and your space in your preferred way, meditate, cast a circle, etc. In the water bottle mix almond oil, cinnamon, garnet and spring water. Focus on intent and charge your solution using garnet as your catalyst. shaking the bottle to mix the oil and water, feel your energy travel into the spray. Spray on your pine cone while focus your thoughts, voicing your prosperity intent or creating a little rhyme. Set the pine cone in an area central to your home to help bring prosperity to family and dissuade hard financial times. Since the garnet is a catalyst for magic, save the spray and refresh your pine cone by repeating the spell whenever you feel necessary!

*you can use ground cinnamon, cinnamon chips, cinnamon sticks or cinnamon essential oil.

Soft and Sweet

This is a very soft, gentle, and passive blessing for those who are constantly under a lot of stress or seem to be suffering a lot of misfortune. 

Spell components • Powdered sugar • Soft natural wool yarn • Sunlight • Dried lavender • A bottle • A tag lock of the one you’re doing the spell for

Best performed during a waning moon. Ideally performed the day after the moon is full.

On a sunny day, take all your spell components somewhere there is plenty of sunlight and where people either go to relax or play. Take your powdered sugar and lavender and mix, letting it sit.

Take the yarn and make a string about seven (single) arm lengths long. As you do so, let it gather the sun’s energy and catch a calm breeze. Take the string and lay it in the sugar, being sure to work it and some of the lavender into the yarn. As you do so, use the following rhyme and speak it over the sugar bowl softly.

“Soft and sweet Rest your feet Hope and heart Shall not part Chin kept high See the sky Soon at last This shall pass”

Take the tag lock, which can be anything from a picture, to a name, or even something like hair or the like if you got it, and wrap it up in the sugary wool yarn. Should you feel it’s appropriate, you might want to kiss the bundle before putting it into the jar. 

Put the jar somewhere it can get lots of sun.

Hey, could you send me the links you have about divination or just tarot if it's not too much trouble? Thank you for the help!

Hah, hah hah. I actually didn’t have ANY links at the ready. So I went and compiled all this for you. Hence why it took like 3-4 hours for me to answer this. Hope it helps!

Rosemary: Laid under the bed it protects the sleeper from all harm.

Valerian Root: One of the best herbs for sleep, help you to calm down. Usually taken as tea or tincture but warning, valerian has a very pungent smell.

Crystals Associated with Sleep

Blue crystals and those that are ruled by the moon work best for sleep/dream magic.

Aquamarine: Ruled by the moon, good for rituals involving sleep and dreams.

Teas and Tinctures

A more mundane method of producing sleep are herbal teas and tinctures. Caution is advised when ingesting any herb, no matter how safe it may seem. It is important to follow proper instruction and take the correct dosages. Teas are the more simple of the two, amounts will vary but generally steep the herb in a cup of boiling/hot water. You can add milk, sugar, or honey for taste. Good herbal teas include lavender, chamomile, skullcap (caution), mugwort (caution), hops, and mullein.

Tinctures are usually made from a very high proof alcohol infused with various herbs. These are usually taken in smaller doses either alone or in a glass of water. You can make your own tinctures but if you don’t have access to the ingredients, you can purchase tinctures at herbalist shops and health food stores. Popular herbs for sleep tinctures include valerian root, hops, passionflower, skullcap, chamomile, lavender, catnip, and lemon balm.

Dream pillows

Dream pillows are a sort of catch-all for sleep magic. You can use them for any purpose regarding sleep. Dream pillows are traditionally made by sewing together two pieces of fabric and stuffed with herbs like lavender and mugwort. If possible, collect herbs for dream pillows during the waxing or full moon. Color is something that can be taken into consideration when crafting a dream pillow, use personal color correspondences. Crystals can also be added to dream pillows. You can also draw or stitch sigils into the pillow.

Herbs for Dream Pillows

Anise Seeds: Stops nightmares.

Bay: Will induce good and prophetic dreams

Betony: To prevent nightmares

Calendula: Brings clairvoyant dreams

Hops: Stops with restless nights, helps bring on sleep

Morning Glory: Add the seeds to prevent nightmares (CAUTION: morning glory seeds are toxic if consumed)

Mugwort: To induce prophetic dreams

Peppermint: Offers one glimpses of the future in dreams

Thyme: Cures nightmares

Vervain: Protection from bad dreams and nightmares

Sleep Charms

For protection during sleep place a bowl of black salt (or witch’s salt) under the bed while you sleep, renew with the Full and New moons.

Put selenite around the border of your bed to ward off bad dreams and night terrors.

To keep dreams away, wear a sprig of lemon verbena around the neck while sleeping.

Burn chamomile before bed to induce sleep.

Add a sachet of lavender to you bath before bed to help you fall asleep.

Hang vervain near the bed to keep you free from nightmares

If you have trouble sleeping, charge a blue candle with a visualization of yourself sleeping through the night and burn for a few moments before bed.

Place bay leaves beneath your pillow to induce prophetic dreams.

Wear a charm bag of vervain around the neck to provide protection from bad dreams.

To protect yourself while asleep, mix equal parts flax seed and mustard seed and place this mixture next to your bed.

A tea of rosebuds drunk before sleep induces prophetic dreams.

Sleeping with a sunflower under the bed allows you to know the truth in any matter.

If insomnia persists night after night, it may be cured by placing some datura leaves into each shoe and then setting the shoes under the bed with the toes pointing toward the nearest wall.

Potions, Brews and Concoctions

Infusions : An infusion is something steeped in a liquid. Either water, oil, juice or wine. Generally used for drinking or bathing yourself or other objects.

Potion : A potion is basically an enchanted infusion, used for the same things infusions are used for. An object can be put into this during brewing to add to it and then removed before drinking. E.g crystals and stones (obviously make sure they are non-toxic and clean before adding them.

Brew : A brew is a potion that is solely meant for consumption.

Elixir : An elixir is meant to give health and vitality. Different from an infusion as with elixirs powders and extracts are dissolved into and alcohol or water base and sweetened with honey or mashed fruits. As with everything these can be enchanted

Oil : An oil is made by extracting natural oils from plants. Essential oils are the pure extraction with nothing added to dilute it. An oil infusion is when you steep herbs in the oils and when you blend the oils and add a base oil it is known as an oil blend.

Powder : A powder (this one is very obvious) is when herbs, spices and minerals are ground together and enchanted.

Sachet : A sachet is a small fabric bag filled with herbs and fragrant objects.

Bath : this specific bath requires an infusion or sachet to be added. For magical or meditative purposes.

Ointment : An ointment is a salve made with enchanted herbs and others, rubbed on for effect.

An anti-depression herb jar for uplifting

•Rosemary and rosemary essential oil for uplifting •Orange essential oil and/or zest for uplifting and cheerfulness •Rose petals for (self) love •Salt to hold the oils, and for banishing sadness •Eggshell powder also for banishing 

I started this while really upset, and it was calming to focus on the ingredients and intent. My visualization for this is deep breathing in the scent and picturing green vines / plants growing into my lungs, purifying all the negativity and sadness trapped inside me)

Edit: this is not mean to replace professional help! It is only meant as a temporary coping skill for in the moment. If you are struggling please seek out a doctor/professional/psychologist. Therapy and medications really do help. If you are suicidal, please get help immediately.
