Success/Prosperity Shower Sachet

I thought I would share with you the first spell I’ve performed since becoming a Witch. I have been hesitant to cast any spells yet because I feel like one really needs to be grounded in the basics and study before you begin actual practice. However, my husband lost his job a week and half ago (very scary!). He was fortunate enough to have a skype interview with an excellent competing company the day after he was let go and this thursday he is set to have a second interview. We really really want him to get this job. I finally decided to do something because it seemed ridiculous to me that I wouldn’t at least use the knowledge I have and energy I can conduct to help bring him success with his interview at the very least.

I decided to make a shower sachet that he could use the morning of his interview. It seemed like the simplest thing I could create that I knew would not require much from him beyond bringing it in the shower with him to dissolve and steam up around him.

Ingredients:

Stones - Nephrite Jade (luck + concentration) - Carnelian (courage + focus + communication) - Aventurine (prosperity + luck + increase confidence) Herbs - Cinnamon chips (prosperity and wealth) - Sage [leaf and flower] (fulfillment of wishes + protection) Other - White Sachet - Good Luck Coin - Epsom Salt - Picture ****only use this if this spell is for someone else 

Gather your ingredients

Cast a circle. I used cinnamon incense as I was casting in order to add to the energy of the spell.

Once the circle is complete it is time to make the good luck coin. You will need to find a coin minted in your birth year, doesn’t matter what denomination it is. I used one minted in my husband’s birth year. And then say the following incantation:

“By these words, my will, and coin,”                                                           “Magick and good fortune join.”

Afterward, start picking up the ingredients and putting them in the sachet. As I did it, I was looking at the picture of my husband’s face in order to tie the ingredients to him. I hadn’t intended to but somehow I started repeating “prosperity, luck, success, attraction” and thinking about his interview. 

Once complete, tighten the sachet, knot it and then move the ingredients around in the bag to really mix them up.

I closed the circle and let the cinnamon incense burn down completely.

Now that it is complete, thursday morning I will have my husband bring it in the shower with him, even if you just leave it on the floor, it will get soaked and the epsom salt will dissolve and the scents will mingle and be present in the steam from the shower.

The Elements and their correspondences

E A R T H

Earth represents strength, grounding, prosperity, the material, wealth, success, foundations, death and rebirth. Focus on this element if the goal of your spell is about fertility, prosperity, business or stability. Earth spells may take longer to work, but they’re also more firm and are good if you’re looking for long-term solutions.

GENDER: Feminine SEASON: Winter DIRECTION: North HOUR: Night

COLOURS: Green, Brown, Black ANIMALS: Bears, Deers, Wolves, Badgers HERBS/PLANTS: Ivy, Ash, Vetiver, Wheats, Oats INSTRUMENTS: Drums (Percussion instruments)

STAR SIGNS: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn STONES/GEMS: Jade, Onyx, Emerald, Salt RITUAL TOOLS: Stones, Dirt, Bones, Pentacle, Salt, Crystals  RITUAL FORMS: Burying, Planting, Imprinting to soil or sand TAROT SUIT: Pentacles

A I R

Air represents intellect and the mind, wisdom, knowledge; logic as well as abstract thought, intuition and higher consciousness. If you’re seeking freedom, travels, or to enhance your memory and focus - focus on Air spells! Air is whimsical and amiable, personally I haven’t found it useful for more serious spells, but it does wonders for my studies. 

GENDER: Masculine SEASON: Spring DIRECTION: East HOUR: Dawn

COLOURS: Yellow, White, Sky Blue, Pastels ANIMALS: Birds, Spiders, Butterflies HERBS/PLANTS: Lavender, Birch, Vervain, Dill, Aspen INSTRUMENTS: Flute (Wind instruments)

STAR SIGNS: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius STONES/GEMS: Amethyst, Opal, Alexandrite, Beryl RITUAL TOOLS: Incense, Wand RITUAL FORMS: Fanning, Tossing into air, Suspending in a high place  TAROT SUIT: Swords

F I R E

Fire represents energy, passion, purification, love, inspiration, desire, will, courage, power, leadership, sexuality. In spellcraft, focusing on Fire is good for purification, healing and love spells; it’s the best element for quick, strong spells. Although, Fire is fierce in essence, and Fire spells are susceptible - they should be well thought out.

GENDER: Masculine SEASON: Summer DIRECTION: South HOUR: Noon

COLOURS: Red, Orange, Gold ANIMALS: Snakes, Lions, Horses HERBS/PLANTS: Cacti, Cinnamon, Pepper, Basil INSTRUMENTS: Guitar (Stringed instruments)

W A T E R

Water represents purification as well; though it’s focused more on the soul and the subconscious rather than the physical, material world. Water stands for emotion, intuition, wisdom, eternal movement, reflection, lunar energy. Focusing on the Water element is good for psychic abilities, getting in tune with your inner self, mysteries, friendships, love, dreams and sleep.

GENDER: Feminine SEASON: Autumn DIRECTION: West HOUR: Dusk

COLOURS: Blue, Indigo, Silver ANIMALS: Otters, Fish, Sea Mammals, Frogs HERBS/PLANTS: Lotus, Water Lilies, Aloe, Gardenia INSTRUMENTS: Cymbal, Bell (Resonant instruments)

A simple (yet effective) spell taught to me by a witch in Salem, Massachusetts.

Required:

• a penny

Procedure:

1) Hold the penny firmly in your left hand.

2) Make a wish, and visualize it coming true.

3) Chant three times: “Penny, penny in my hand, Bring to me my heart’s demand.”

4) Transfer the penny to your right hand, and kiss it.

4) Toss the penny over your left shoulder.

The simplicity of this spell makes it ready to cast just about anywhere at any time. You’d be surprised how effective it is and how many times it’s saved my butt.

KIKI’S RIBBON (A SIMPLE CONFIDENCE SPELL)

(In the beginning of Kiki’s Delivery Service, Kiki wasn’t pleased about the black dress her mom had given her… however seems to like it by the end of the film. This is a self confidence spell. )

Things You Will Need:

(1) White or Black Candle (white creates poise and confidence, black increases assertiveness and confidence.)

(1) Mirror (to look at your lovely self, what else?)

(1) Red Ribbon (To connect with kiki, and also because red stimulates confidence and draws attention.) *Can be substituted with any wearable accessory that is red.

How to do the spell: 

set yourself up at your mirror, ground yourself if you wish. Take a moment to look into your own eyes and focus on your intentions. 

Then, light your candle, and grab your ribbon (or other red accessory)

hold the candle in one hand and the ribbon in the other. Imagine the light of the flames surrounding the ribbon. Place the candle down and begin to wrap the ribbon around a place of your choosing (or place your accessory on) and as you are doing so, say:

“With this (accessory) my true form shall appear. A form of greatness, and beauty. A form of strength and care. All of those things are what I am, and what others shall see. Though I am not perfect, I am surely close. My confidence is there, it’s no longer hard to see. My confidence is there, It flows from within me.”

A spell to stop a person or entity from doing harm

You will need:

🕯 a picture/full name/taglock of who you want to bind

🕯 black ribbon

🕯 white ribbon

🕯 white and/or black candles (optional)

Light the candle, take the tag lock/picture/written name of the person and fold it four times. as you’re folding, imagine that person’s energy being contained in that paper. begin wrapping the paper in the black ribbon, making sure you cover the entire picture. while doing this, say:

“I bind you, (person’s name), from doing harm against others and harm against yourself”

Next, begin wrapping the picture in white ribbon while still saying the quote above. repeat the quote as many times as you want. cover all of the black ribbon to completely enclose the picture/taglock. after you’ve finished, take the bundle of ribbons and put it somewhere dark where it won’t be disturbed. blow out the candles and imagine the smoke carrying out any negative energy left in the space.

🍻🍀Prosperity Jar🍀🍻

What you’ll need -

📈A jar (I used a baby food jar)

👑Jewlery (I used earrings that had no pair!)

🍀Dried Basil

🍀Dried Mint

💛Gold or Silver Glitter

💲Coins (Gold coins, pennies etc.)

💚A Green or Gold Candle

Optional: Four leaf clovers or anything else ’lucky’! 🍀. I added a citrine crystal since it’s known as the merchants stone.

Put everything in your spell jar, envisioning what you want as you do so. A chest of gold coins, money falling, beautiful jewelry, or maybe just your dream house. Anything that makes you think of the intent of money, luck and prosperity!

Once everythings in the jar, place your candle on top and light it (Or if it’s in a jar or tin, just pour the wax over the lid to seal it) As you see the wax drip down on to the jar say -

“Let my fortune grow. Let my luck flow. Bring me prosperity. Make it so.”

Recite this as many times as you wish while envisioning your future prospers. I wrote mine down and placed it inside the jar.

Either let the candle melt all the way down over the jar OR blow it out once the top is sealed (If you dripped the wax instead then just blow it out when covered)

Keep in a safe place or keep it near you whenever you need some luck, money or prosperity in your life.

💛💸🍀GOOD LUCK!🏆📈💚

“Smoldering Star” Spell

A spell to attract positive energies and hope into one’s life.

What You’ll Need

“The Star” tarot card

A white candle

Moth Wings (or dried jasmine if you wish for a vegan alternative)

The Moth Witch’s Powder (Basically a mix of ground sage and Himalayan pink salt but the pink salt can be replaced with any kind of salt if you don’t have it.)

Snow Water

**When collecting the moth wings do not go out and kill a moth for the sake of this spell, collect the wings from an already dead moth or I, Mothma’am, will be very, very upset with you.**

What To Do

Draw a circle large enough for you to sit in with the powder.

Place your candle in the middle of that circle and light it.

Put some snow water on your fingers and flick that water into the candle’s flame and inside the circle.

Now, take your moth wings (or jasmine) and burn them in the candle while saying/thinking “As they burn the hope & positive energies come here, here to cleanse and help me through the years.” till the wings (or aloe) become ashes.

Take the ashes, lightly sprinkle them onto the Star card (Make sure the card is facing star side and not inverted.) say/think “And oh Star, grant me hope. So may it be.”

To finish, blow out the candle and dispose of any waste properly.
