THE GREEN SPELL
Need:
- 1 green votive candle (though white will do)
1 candle holder
1 needle or bobby pin
1 long piece of green yarn, string, or ribbon
1 piece of paper (preferably from a checking book, bank statement, hospital bill, etc. -- something that is linked to your money or health issues)
1 pen or marker (preferably green ink, but not required)
1 coin
Oil (In Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, almond, bayberry, bergamot, honeysuckle, mint, patchouli, pine, and vervain are listed for money. Cinnamon, cypress, and lotus are listed for luck. Carnation, eucalyptus, gardenia, lotus, myrrh, narcissus, rosemary, sandalwood, and violet are listed for healing. You can simply use Extra Virgin Olive Oil as an all-purpose oil in lieu of having anything else.)
Incense (preferably in one of the scents listed above)
Note:
It's okay if you don't have all of these items. The point of this particular spell is to use what you would already have or can easily find for when you have pressing monetary and/or health issues. It's preferable to wait until a waxing moon up until a full moon, with the closer to fullness the better (moon increase=drawing things to you). But to paraphrase Cunningham, if the need is great, timing shouldn't matter. Also, don't be afraid to customize this spell, especially if you don't have all of the items, or if you find something that you believe would be better suited. After all, the most powerful spells are ones you make your own. Lastly, it's important to note that if you're not making any attempts to improve your health or financial situation, or if you are engaging in self-destructive behaviors, this spell won't work.
- 1. Take the needle or bobby pin and dip it into whichever oil you have chosen. Carve the Fehu rune (for wealth) around the candle, alternating with your country's monetary symbol and the Uruz rune (for health and healing). Visualize the symbols glowing/pulsating green with energy.
2. On the piece of paper, write your specific need(s). You can also draw the runes and monetary symbols if you wish.
3. Place the coin and the folded-up piece of paper underneath the candle.
4. Tie the green yarn, string, or ribbon around the candle holder. You will knot it three times. Recite (in the following order):
Knot 1: With this knot, my health shall grow
Strong as a tree.
Knot 2: With this knot, my wealth shall increase
Like sprouting leaves.
Knot 3: With this knot, good luck shall renew
From endless seeds.
5. Light the candle. Light the incense with the candle's flame.
6. As you focus on the flame, visualize a great tree. This tree is rapidly growing in the room, its thick roots weaving through floorboards as the massive trunk shoots through the ceiling towards the waxing moon. Branches twist and jut out in every direction, filling the entire room with lush green leaves. (The leaves can also be falling paper money.) Smell the earthiness. Feel the strength and power of the ancient tree growing around you, supporting you, giving you energy. Also visualize yourself healthy, strong, fortunate, with money in your bank account or otherwise in your possession. As you visualize these things, recite the following nine times (3x3):
Green, grow, green, grow.
Health, wealth, good luck,
Come into this home.
Grow green, grow green
In abundance three times three.
To conclude:
Into my life from the roots below,
To the sky, make it so!
After you say the conclusion, visualize your release of energy into the universe, along with the incense smoke.
7. Place the burning incense next to or directly in front of your front door. Let it burn itself out.
8. After the candle has melted, cut out the remaining wax/paper/coin blob. Clean the coin and give it away as charity.
I was worried it might come across as too overly complicated or involved, but as it's intent is for three rather big things, I felt like it needed extra energy. Hopefully it helps someone out there!
