Folk Magic: Love & Money Spells

History is infused with magic. Magic and folk magic practices, spells and rituals have been an integral part of our lives since as long as people have been around. From the shamanic practices to religious rites, magic has helped us to make sense of the world and has empowered us by providing a lens into the unknown and unseen. Magic provides us a means to connect with forces beyond our understanding in a way that helps us deal with our own personal fears, dreams, and goals. Whether its love, money or protection, magic has served to help us manifest our desires in a meaningful way. The art of spell crafting remains an important component in many peoples spiritual practices.

Today, we are going to explore two different spells: a love drawing spell and a money drawing spell. The following spells are based on folk magic traditions. A bit about folk magic. Folk magic is home-cooked magic. It’s personal and informal, but just as powerful as older and more formal methods of spell crafting. Folk magic incorporates many different traditions and can be interchanged in ways that give meaning and power to those who wish to practice it. The most important thing to consider is that it needs to be personal to you. When it comes to casting spells, you should always follow your instincts and allow your practice to unfold in a way that feels comfortable for you. Remember to add your personal touch. You can use anything that feels meaningful to you. This could include incorporating crystals, herbs, photographs, amulets or just about anything you can dream of. 

Love Spell to Draw in a Particular Love Interest

This love spell focuses on drawing in a particular love interest. If you do not have someone in mind, I would skip the “needle” portion of the ritual and keep your intention on simply drawing in your ideal mate.

What you will need:

• 2 needles.
• A love drawing oil Such as Come to Me Oil, Love & Attraction Oil, or Be Witching Oil.
• A small charm or mojo bag.
• A red candle.
• A nail or pen to carve your candle with
• A Pinch of cinnamon, brown sugar and hemp seeds (rose or jasmine petals could also be used)
• Red thread.
• A candle holder and fire safe plate.

To begin, get your red candle and on one side of the candle carve the name of your love interest. On the opposite side of the candle, carve your own name. Anoint your candle with your love drawing oil. To do this, point the top of the candle towards your body. Take your oil and anoint the candle by drawing the candle up the candle towards your body. Then take your two needles. Beginning on the side where you carved your own name, insert the candle directly through the candle so it pokes through the name of your love interest. Then turn the candle where your love interest’s name is carved and insert the pin directly towards your name.  Place the candle in an appropriate candle hold and place this on top of your fireproof plate. Then take your cinnamon, brown sugar and hemp seeds and sprinkle over the plate around your candle. When ready light your candle and state your intention, say or prayer or read the song of songs from the bible.

When the candle completely burns out, take the needles and place them side to side in opposite directions. In other words, the point of one needle should be next to the eye of the other. Tie the two needles together with your red string. Place these in your pouch and add a pinch of the remaining cinnamon, sugar and hemp seeds (or rose petals)from your plate directly into the pouch. Carry this pouch on you or place it under your mattress. Should you wish to break the spell, simply untie the needles and discard them away from your property.

A Money Spell for Wealth, Treasure & Abundance

This is a southern conjure money ritual that is used to draw you towards money, treasure or abundance. Although the original spell calls for rattlesnake root, ginger root can be used as a replacement, and it is just as powerful.

What you need:

• Ginger Root or Rattlesnake Root
• A pot and 2 cups of water.
• Abundance Oil, Wealthy Way or Money Drawing Oil (optional)
• A bottle.

To begin, gently boil your root in 2 cups of water. Let it simmer for at least 15 minutes. When cool strain the root out of the water. Pour 1 cup of the water in a bottle and set the other cup aside. Get your Money Drawing Oil and 8-12 drops into the bottle. Close the lid and shake, This mixture will need to sit for 8 days. Make sure you gently shake it each day.  In the evening, take your remaining cup of infused water and enter a bathtub or shower. When ready enter the bath and remain in a standing position. Take your cup of infused water and gently rub the water on your body, beginning with the bottom of your feet all work your way up to the top of your head. You can also say a prayer, speak your intention or read Psalm 23. When this is complete, exit the tub and let yourself air dry.

After 8 days, take your bottle of infused water mixture and rub down your entire front door. You can also add a few drops into the heel of your shoes.
