When making spells, choosing ingredients is important
Think about the herbs and crystals like containers
Each one holds either something specific or a variety of energies
While crystals work in a similar way, I will be focusing on herbs in this article
11 amazing herbs that attract good luck and prosperity are:
- Cinnamon
- Thyme
- Basil
- Cloves
- Rosemary
- Catnip
- Any mint
- Eggshells
- Nutmeg
- Patchouli
- Bay leaves
You do not need all of them for any spell
Choose the best fit and the one that feels right
I usually add 1-3 herbs to my spells but you have the freedom to choose your own normal
I like to make my choices based on what I have available, what I like the look of, and what feels right
Cinnamon
Cinnamon can be in the stick form or the powder form
I use each for their own purposes
For example, the cinnamon spell at the beginning of every month
Most witches use the powder, but it isn’t very safe for my animals
So I hang a cinnamon stick in my doorway
If I am making a spell jar, I will use the one that fits best
Powder for the spell necklaces and the sticks (or even both) for the large jars and bowls
I love using cinnamon in my simmer pots too because it smells so nice!
Cinnamon is excellent for any prosperity spell
It attracts what you want when you add your intention to it
Thyme
Thyme is more specific to money prosperity
Which is often what we have in mind
I don’t use this one often because I don’t cook with it
But it is still a very effective choice!
You can add thyme to your spells, or you can add it to your garden
As the thyme grows, so does the prosperity
Basil
Basil is a great choice for wealth, luck, and prosperity
It is said that Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune, was turned into a basil plant
She could turn back at will, but not before basil was filled with her essence
Giving it the ability to attract prosperity
Basil is a great money spall ingredient that can be used in tea, jars, bowls, or cleaning materials
Boiling your cleaning water with basil and then mopping the floor is great for cleansing negative energy and attracting prosperity
If you have to clean your house anyways, why not add a little good luck and magick?
Cloves
Cloves are also a bringer of good luck, but not the same as most the others
Cloves are great for bringing luck during games like gambling
They can also be burned to attract money-related luck to you
Cloves are antibacterial so you can add them to your cleaning supplies to attract more luck to your household
They are also great for friendship charms and stopping others from gossiping about you
Rosemary
Rosemary is a fun-looking herb that I love using in jars
I use it regularly in my manifestation necklaces
Rosemary is thought to bring good luck and take away nightmares when you sleep with it near
I also use Rosemary for my air fresheners
It spells great, disinfects the air, restores memory, elevates your mood, and attracts prosperity
This herb is well-rounded to help you in your daily life!
Catnip
Catnip is known for its effects on cats, but it is also great for prosperity and luck spells!
It is known for attracting good spirits and positive luck
It also repels insect from your garden and negative energy from your life
Just be careful how you store and use it if you have cats!
If you have ever seen a cat on catnip, you would want to be careful how much your cats get
Any mint
Peppermint is the most popular mint for attracting luck but every mint works well
I like to use spearmint and peppermint in my simmerpots
They help with nausea and attract good luck to my home
But you can make tea, use it in spells, and more
While it is mostly used for money propoerity, you can add your intention for any luck that you want to bring your way
Eggshells
Eggshells don’t really attract luck and prosperity, but they do protect you from the opposite
I think that is just as important
Some say that it can attract luck, so it doesn’t hurt to add that to your intention just in case!
Eggshells are really good for healing and nurturing as well
So if you are asking for luck as you begin a new project, eggshells may be a great choice
You don’t have to buy these
If you eat eggs, you can make your own
After you crack your egg, clean the shells
There is a thin white membrane on the inside of the shells
Peal that off and throw it away
Then either dehydrate or leave the shells out to fully dry
Once they are dry, grind them into a powder
I have an herb grinder and a porter and pestle for this
And that’s it!
Your eggshells are ready to be used
Nutmeg
I love the smell of nutmeg
But it is also called “the gambler’s herb” because they are easy to add to your pocket to attract good luck
You can add the whole nutmeg in your pockets or add the powder to your shoes
But that isn’t the only thing it can do
Carrying nutmeg with you can increase luck at court, keep you safe while traveling, or attract money through money spells
Patchouli root
Patchouli root is an herb that brings good luck that I haven’t used yet
But I have heard great things
You can add patchouli essential oil to your baths or use it like every other herb in your spells
Keep in mind that the patchouli root is connected to the god of hard work, Saturn
So don’t expect it to help you without you putting in your fair share of effort
Bay leaves
Bay leaves are one of my favorites for property spells
I do a variety, including 5 minutes spells during a busy day
Write your intention on the leaves
They can be whole leaves or broken
Then you can add the leaves to your jars, bowls, or burn them
A great 5-minute spell is to write your intention, burn the leave, and then blow it outside with more intention
It is fast but still effective
