Plants, Herbs, and Roots for Prosperity

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:


1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

Lucky Charms and Numerology; your personal Magic Square Talisman ...

Long believed to possess great magical properties in India and the far east; numerological Yantras are Magic Squares attuned to an individual by using the numbers of their date of birth to construct the square. Yantra Magic Squares can be used for divination, to bring good luck to the bearer, ward off harm and ill luck, and to draw love and prosperity to you like a magnet. They are relatively simple to make, can be drawn or printed on paper, inscribed on metal, or carved in wood or stone.

In general, Magic squares are any regular grid of numbers; (3 x 3), (4 x 4), etc. where each box of the grid contains an integer number, and all of the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same total. Several famous western occultist created and worked with Magic squares: Agrippa, John Dee, Abramelen, and the Golden Dawn just to name a few. Even Benjamin Franklin had a passion for constructing magic squares.

===> Yantra Magic Squares

The only book I've seen that describes them in detail is "Talisman Magic, Yantra Squares for Tantric Divination" by Richard Webster (Llewellin Publications, St. Paul, Minnesota, 1995). It's currently out of print, but you can find it out there. The book provides a formula for constructing a (4 x 4) magic using your birthday numbers, and your Life Path from numerology. Let's look at an example to see how they are made.

===> Johnny Depp's Magic Square

Johnny Depp was born on June 9th, 1963. His Life Path of (7) is calculated as follows:

6 9 1963 = (1978) = 1 9 7 8 = (25) = 2 5 = (7).

The top row of his Yantra Magic square if filled in from left to right with the Month, Day, Year (without the century), and his Life Path as follows:

( 6 ) ( 9 ) ( 63 ) ( 7 )

This row sums up to (85), so we fill out the Magic square with numbers such that all of the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to (85) giving us the following result.

( 6 ) ( 9 ) ( 63 ) ( 7 )
( 61 ) ( 9 ) ( 4 ) ( 11 )
( 8 ) ( 64 ) ( 8 ) ( 5 )
( 10 ) ( 3 ) ( 10 ) ( 62 )

===> Summation

Using some very simple techniques and materials, anyone can make a potent talisman to attract money, good fortune, and help you reach your life goals; all through the power of numerology.

Basic Palmistry II

Palmistry, also known as Chiromancy, is the art of telling a person's fortune by looking at the lines and bumps on a person's hand. However, since the 1920s, the art of Chiromancy has come a long way. Chirognomy is a related science in which hand shape; finger shape, fingers, nails and the texture and consistency of the flesh are examined in order to get a glimpse into the inner workings of the personality. Dermatoglyphics is the study of ridge patterns and formations found on the fingertips and palm itself to detect and diagnose inherited diseases. However here we are dealing with what I would call the “Romany Reader Basics” of the Art.

In an earlier new age Notebook called Basic Palmistry I identified the major lines and mounts of the human hand. In this article we are going to examine other kinds of markings and characteristics that are common indicators of personality, temperament and fate.

Bubbles and Loops - Bubbles and loops that occur on life lines, heart lines and fate lines indicate significant episodes in your life or a life that is broken by many odd experiences. Strong clean lines without bubbles are always preferable if you are looking for a serene and quiet life.

Broken Lines - These usually indicate that a life will be disrupted in an upsetting manner. A broken lifeline can mean an early or tragic life. A break in the head line can mean a period of insanity or mental illness.

Crosses and cross-hatching - These marks on any mound or area of the hand often represent stressful influences, events or people. Usually the influence is a significant or important relationship. The deeper the line the more traumatic or life-defining the experience is said to be. The nature of the event is determined on which mound you find the cross or cross-hatching. For instance, if you have a lot of cross-hatching on your Mound of Lower Mars you may encounter a lot of war or violence in your life. Crosses and cross-hatching on your Mound of Apollo can indicate troubles with career, confidence and success. On the outer edge of the hand, just below the little finger and the Mound of Mercury such marks are said to indicate how many children are in your future. If horizontal lines or cross-hatching occurs on your thumbs or fingertips it is a sure sign that you are under too much stress.

Attachment lines - These are lines that occur above the heart line and wrap from the side of the hand and extend out beneath the little finger. This is supposed to indicate the number of significant relationships or attachments you will have in your life.

Healer Stigmata - a long horizontal line that is crossed by three shorter lines indicates this. It is a symbol of natural healing abilities and usually occurs on the mound of Mercury just below the little finger.

Squares - If you find a square on your hand it means that you are a teacher or natural born leader and meant to enlighten others. The area of interest where you will excel is indicated where it is placed on a mound. For instance, a square that is found on the mound of Mercury indicates a career in teaching or education. A square found on the Mound of Venus below the thumb can indicate a nurse, doctor or healer.

Feathery light lines - These can be found all over the hand and are usually an indication of failing health. If the lines travel up from the wrist to the little finger it can indicate a chronic disease or disability.

X's - X's found anywhere in the palm usually indicate travel. If it is found on either of the Mounds of Upper or Lower Mars or on the plain of Mars it means traveling as a result of war or a military career. An X on the mound of Venus (below the thumb) means relocating for love and on the mound of Jupiter an X can mean relocating for reasons to do with career advancement.

Triangles - Triangles anywhere on the palm indicate a decent upbringing and emotional or intellectual strength. This once again depends which mound the triangle is found on. For example: a triangle found on the Mound of Venus indicates emotional strength and understanding when it comes to love. A triangle found on the mound of Saturn beneath the third finger indicates incredible physical and emotional endurance during times of trouble.

The Ring of Solomon - This is a line that circles the base of the Jupiter finger (index finger) and is found in the hands of those who are said to be psychic. It is also believed to represent royal blood or ancestry.

Stars - A star-shaped hatching of lines can mean that you will enjoy especially good fortune wherever that star is located. For instance if you have a star on your Mound of Venus, it can indicate fame. A star on your Mound of Mercury can mean success at relationships. Wherever you find a star on your hand, you are most likely to find good fortune unless it is located on the mound of Saturn beneath your third finger. In that case, it means a life of arrogance and pride without the prizes. 

Numerology and Life Paths; by Keith Abbott

Ever have someone come up to you and ask the age old question; "What's your Sign?" This classic pick up line has been used by a whole generation of guys trying to pick up girls - with mixed results. If you ladies want a really good comeback for them, or if you are a sensitive guy who wants something fresh to use for an old cliche, try asking them for Numerology's equivalent to Astrology signs; "What's your Path?"

===> Life Path - Your chief number in Numerology

Your Life Path, is your main number in Numerology; It shows what opportunities will come your way, and where your main talents and abilities lie. It's calculated using Fadic addition. This is the process of adding together your meaningful numbers, and reducing the result to a single digit.

We do this recursively. As an example, lets calculate Johnny Depp's Life Path. Depp was born on June 9th, 1963; so first we add together the month, day, and year of his birth; then we add together the individual digits of the sum to get (25); and finally we sum the (2) digits of the sum (25) to get a single digit (7).

6 9 1963 = 1978; 1 9 7 8 = 25; 2 5 = (7)

So Johnny Depp has a Life Path of (7).

There are (9) major Life Paths which everyone fits into. There are also two sub-paths corresponding to the Master Numbers (11) in Life path (2), and (22) in Life Path (4). But, these are sub-categories of the major Life paths. I've listed them below with a brief description for each one.

The Fine Art of Smudging

An Aboriginal Canadian friend of mine who teaches at the Whispering Lodge in Toronto was explaining to me how physical or emotional healing cannot take place until the person is cleansed of any of the following conditions:

1. Emotional conditions such as resentment, bitterness, envy, jealousy and guilt
2. Negative thoughts about others or one's past or future
3. Negative emotions such as grief, hatred, desire
4. Bad or evil spirits
5. Attachments or negative energy sent to us from other people

In most Aboriginal traditions, a sweat lodge, basically a tent or teepee or cave filled with smoke and heat, is used to remedy the sick person of these conditions. In ancient Rome, buildings called purgatoriums were used for the same purpose. These smoke and heat filled places were considered sacred spaces in which the spirits or God could lift negative entities and energies from an individual without interference with others. Many indigenous cultures throughout the world use burning herbs, plants and resins to accomplish the same purpose. In some cultures the smoke is taken into one's hands and rubbed over the body to blacken it. This is where the modern day practice got its nickname -- smudging.

Below is a list of common herb, plants, grasses and resins that are commonly used in smudging ceremonies. You can light these substances yourself and carry a bundle of the substance around your home in a counter-clockwise circle to cleanse your space. I highly recommend cleansing the body outside, however, as I have found that sage can burn very fast and create a lot of rapid whirling smoke that easily sets off the fire alarm.

Sage Sprigs - the most common substance used for cleansing is sage. The word sage comes from the Latin word Salvia which means, "to heal." There are also varieties of sage, which are from the Artemisia family of plants. This includes mugwort which s used for cleansing and protection. White sage is used for cleansing and protection. Combining branches of pine and white sages together and burning them is used to attract prosperity.

Cedar and Juniper branches - These evergreen boughs have historically been used to help cleanse, purify and protect ones belongings. Sometimes brooms are made from them to use the smoke "sweep" to cleanse a home during a house blessing.

Sweetgrass - This musty smelling grass is used to drive out bad influences and draw good influences into the home. It is often used after a prayer or ritual to "hold" the magic" in its place.

Copal - this aromatic plant resin is mainly used in South American rituals. The touch of the strongly scented smoke from burning copal is thought to cleanse and purify any object or person.

Frankincense and Myrrh - these "biblical” resins are used in Africa, the Middle East and Europe for ceremonies and rituals. Burned together they are thought to balance yin and yang, or the masculine and feminine energies in a place or dwelling. Either is thought to draw blessings into a home.

Tobacco - Tobacco is burned to float prayers upwards to the Creator where they will be heard and answered. Burning a tobacco along with sage, cedar or sweet grass is thought to enhance the magical intentions of the smudge.

Smudges and resins can be bought commercially from occult, new age and gift shops. I usually put the branches, plants or resins in the bowl and blacken my hands and face with it. While doing this I pray for protection, purification and blessings from above. If healing another person or purifying a room I will sometimes use a feather or a branch to waft the smoke in the desired direction.

Smudging is not all hooey and voodoo. The practice is also thought to created negative ions in the air that remove static and create a positive atmosphere. Not only do people usually feel good afterwards, it also creates a space for the free flowing of positive energies and prayers.

Techno Witch II, Magic With Your PC

You've heard of applied science, well how about applied Magick. The personal computer is just a tool after all, so in theory you should be able to apply the ancient traditions to the modern ways. Here are a few ways that I think you can use your PC to practice metaphysics.

The Gods, Goddesses and energies that oversee the running of you computer include Mercury (Hermes) the God of Communication, Ariadne (the Weaver), the Archangel Gabriel (the Angel of Illumination, Vachu (the Hindu Goddess of Mystic Speech) or Chango, the God of Thunderbolts. If you are having computer problems light a red and blue candle to honour Mercury (for server and email problems), a purple candle to honour Ariadne (for site problems), Temple or Lotus incense to access Vachu (who can help with forwarding files), a yellow candle to access the wisdom of the Archangel Gabriel (to figure out how to get a program running) or a red candle to honour Chango (for problems with electricity).

When sending a resume or an important file …you can practice a bit of magic by creating a symbol for yourself to hide somewhere in the file or in the email. This symbol can represent success to you or prosperity. For instance $ would be an obvious one. Try creating, with a series of letters, numbers or symbols that are significant to you --a sigil that is attached to your emails. It is easy to create a sigil. Take a phrase such as "Money Come To Me" and shorten it to "MCTM" or "mctm" and put it in your tag before you send an important document. There are many sites on the web that teach you how to make a more obscure sigil using numbers and letters- just type the word sigil into your search engine. Once you create the sigil, blow it up into 24 point on your computer and "charge it' by focusing your intent onto the symbol. Keep the master sigil in a file and attach a 9-point version to the bottom of files or emails.

Has someone sent you a nasty email? Don't respond with words. Try this version of a reversal spell. Send the email back to them nine times. If nine times seems too much, send it back three times. This follows the rule of sending back bad energy to its sender three times three times three. After reading their own words, nine times, this may cause the sender to rethink their malevolence. Also effective, is sending the sender back a BLANK email. Press reply, erase all text and charge the blank screen with what you want to say. Send it. The person who sent you the bad email in the first place will probably react with confusion and some fear. NOBODY likes to open a blank email. The blank email has a way of clearing the problem.

You can use the naming and retrieving of files, to bring more luck, prosperity and love in your life. To do this you need to create a folder and fill it with files that contain one word such as love, MONEY, and luck. Inside each of these files put a list of words that relate to your goal … for instance in the file marked money write things such as Quick Cash, Relief From Debt, Prosperity, New Car or what ever you desire. Put these files on your desktop, so each time you start up your computer, you are retrieving the magical energy of the words inside the files.

Turn your mouse into a Magick Mouse by storing it overnight inside a box or a "sleeping bag" that contains a coin, a sprig of rosemary, and a paper heart. There is an old saying that a "mouse in the house brings luck to the house. ' Every time you click your mouse, the energies represented by what you have stored in its "sleeping bag" is said to infuse your life with lucky energy.

Another good way to manifest magic is to use your screen saver. Try to choose imagery that supports your magickal intent… for instance, images of waterfalls and running water symbolize money, images of flowers represent love and images of clouds and sun represent the acquisition of experience and wisdom.

Never underestimate the power of a password either. When you choose login names or passwords, try and choose names that attract positive energy. For instance the password name "fatdope" might just attract more fat dopes into your sphere. Remember the cosmic principle of "like attracts like."

Good times to do computer magic would be noon or on a Sunday, which are times influenced by the Sun, during the signs of Aquarius, Gemini or Libra which all relate to communication and are ruled by the planet Mercury.

Dare To Get What You Want Using Witchcraft Magick Spells

Have you ever thought about using witchcraft magick spells to get what you want? Did you know that using white hat witches spells is actually an often used self-help technique? The truth is, almost everyone is dead wrong about Magick, spells and power. In fact, many "everyday" people use magick spells to get what they want with ease, and now you can too!



Usually witchcraft magic uses objects to focus the mind and keep you reminded that you cast a spell, and what you wanted it to do. Many of these items are household objects (not eye of newt or anything like that though). If you want to use witchcraft spells to perform a little magick, you'll need a few of these "magical" objects. These object usually include witchcraft candles, or regular longer burning candles, food items, like nuts or seasonings, and other things you can make from items usually already in and around your house.



The truth is, witchcraft magick spells and their effectiveness is in your belief of them. The real power is inside YOU! You are just releasing it into the world by giving it a direction to go. For example, if you are casting a magic love spell, you tell the magick where to go and who to land on. That way you're sure to get what you want. You are basically sending your energy to the person you want to cast a spell on.



The reason the other people practicing magick spells won't tell you how effective they are is that they are scared that they will lose power if more people start to use magick spells. They simply don't want everyone casting magic love spells, and having all the good luck in the world. They've decided to keep it all for themselves!



Fortunately, Whitehat Witches know that Witchcraft Magick spells can't hurt anyone! There is enough love, luck and money in the world for everyone. The question is how do you bring it YOUR way? And/or, how do you send it to where you want it to go?
