  Crown of Success

  frankincense, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, orris, petitgrain essential, and myrrh; golden sand, lodestones, gold flakes and gold glitter can also be added

  Three spirits came from the east

  Bringing the field of success

  The first one opened it

  The second one connected it

  The third one breathed it manifest.

  Crown of success is a go-to formula for business, creative, and career accomplishment.

  Recommended candle color: gold or yellow

  Debt Reduction and Recovery

  frankincense, pumpkin seeds, lavender, sweet pea, gold glitter or gold flecks, torn bits of paper money

  I breathe deep and see the beauty of all things

  I breathe deep and see the beauty of all things

  I breathe deep and see the beauty of all things

  I breathe deep and set my mind upon the path of joy

  I breathe deep and rise from what was destroyed

  I breathe deep and realize the new road of joy!

  It is in harmony I access the recovery I need

  It is in flow that I plant the stability seed

  I rise! And I know the universe will provide!

  Wrap in a large maple leaf. The first charm is to be said every morning, as close to your rising as possible.

  An old method to ensure food coming into the home when you are having money problems is to grind dried peas and beans together, empowering them for the abundance of food for your family. Sprinkle the powder on a piece of bread and give to nature. As the animals are drawn to the bread, so food will be brought into the home. Each year my family fills a small mason jar with a selection of dried beans and peas, a lodestone, and a petition that the gnomes of the earth bring good fortune and food into the home. We cap the jars and decorate the lids. The jars are set by the front door on top of an empowered metal trivet (to help hold the charge) to welcome good fortune into the family. At the end of the year, the jar is emptied, washed, and refilled. For us, this is often a New Year’s Day activity.

  Recommended candle color: green or gold

  Dem Bones Uncrossing

  rose, carnation petals, clove, bay, clover, myrrh, patchouli, lemon verbena, ginger, allspice, orange peel, 3 drops white rum, chicken bones, a paper bag

  I dig to the root and cast evil aside

  The cross I carried no longer abides

  I throw out the pain, the evil, the strife

  Dem bones, they be banished from all of my life!

  Keep the chicken bones whole (those from your dinner are fine, just wash them so they aren’t sticky, set them in salt water for at least an hour, then allow them to dry). Mix the powder (crushed ingredients) in a bag with the bones. Shake the bag as you intone the following chant nine times. At the end of the chant, open the bag and scatter the contents and the bag in the garbage.

  Recommended candle color: white

  Devil’s Trap

  frankincense, myrrh, devil’s shoestring, sandalwood, clover, eggshell, a drop of vetivert essential oil

  Evil, begone; don’t come back

  Like a moth to a flame, enter this trap

  Devil, begone; don’t come back

  The gate snaps shut; dissolve in a snap!

  Devil’s Trap Sigil

  Draw the devil’s trap sigil on a mirror or on the lid of a jar filled with frankincense and vinegar set upon a mirror. This symbol is used to trap and destroy negative energy. Sprinkle powder on the sigil or add the powdered herbs to the vinegar and frankincense mixture. You can also add silver glitter. Burn a white candle by the sigil for seven days or seven candles for seven days. Throw everything in the trash the seventh day, including the cold candle ends.

  Recommended candle color: white

  Diffusing Anger Against You/Stopping Gossip

  lobelia, slippery elm, loosestrife, Pennsylvania smartweed, snapdragon, galangal, High John (poisonous), pumpkin seed, salt

  The fire recedes, the steam abates

  Your tantrums die, I close the gate.

  I flush you out, and out you go

  Your words of hate no longer grow.

  The fire recedes, the steam abates

  Your own ill will will be your fate.

  Write the charm on toilet paper along with the individual’s name (if you know it). Place the powder in the center of the toilet paper. Ball up the paper. Hold it tightly in your right hand. Repeat the person’s name three times, making the connection of the person to your words. If you don’t know the person’s name, simply say “You who have attacked me” or similar words that feel right to you in this circumstance. Be succinct. Say the charm three times with great gusto, then throw the paper in the toilet and flush!

  Recommended candle color: red

  Dirt Dauber Send It Back

  eucalyptus, rue, nettles, sandalwood, skunk cabbage, red peppers, powdered dried snakeskin (safely shed) can also be added

  Any spell that you have cast

  Cracks and crumbles and bites you back

  Broken will is all you feel

  Your dirty deeds are now revealed

  Leaving me both clear and free

  As I will, so mote it be!

  Broken pieces from an organ pipe dirt dauber’s nest are frequently used, particularly if someone is trying to trap you, as the primary food for a dirt dauber (or mud dauber) is the spider.

  Recommended candle color: Red or red and black if they have committed a crime against you (murder of a loved one, rape, embezzlement, theft of property, etc.). The word spell in the first line can be changed to fit the circumstances: any lies, any action, etc.

  Dreams and Visions

  wintergreen, gardenia, rose, cinnamon, spearmint, anise, bay, celery seed, damiana, lavender, safflower, myrrh, vervain, eyebright

  May I see the connection of all things

  My mind the flight of the dragonfly

  Embracing the truth of the light

  Understanding my dreams and my visions.

  This is a lovely blend to place in a lavender conjuring bag with the image of a dragonfly and a moonstone and tiger’s-eye gemstone. Dress with aromatic lavender essential oil and hang on your bedpost for sweet divinatory dreams.

  Recommended candle color: white or lavender

  Egg Money/Creativity

  oatmeal, dried milk powder, sassafrass, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, raw sugar, eggshell

  I activate the field around me and within me

  To enhance my gifts of creativity

  Talent wakens, energy flows

  Returns are great as my production grows!

  This is a great formula for ritual soap to be used before any creative process that you hope to draw money to you. It can also be utilized in a purple conjuring bag along with your intent for divine creativity. Encircle around purple or gold candles that you burn while you work.

  Recommended candle color: purple, gold, white, red, ivory

  Evil, Begone

  hot red peppers, frankincense, white sage

  frankincense, sandalwood, eggshell, mistletoe, ginger

  Evil, begone; do not return

  The horse has run off and the bridges are burned!

  I have two different formulas that I use for this working; both have worked equally well. If you are trying to make evil leave a place, add a teaspoon of dirt from that place; that way, you don’t have to be at that location when you cast the spell, as you have established a connection and are keeping your work “above ground.” Pets or children in bare feet should not walk on this formula. The charm also works very well when using four thieves vinegar. The chant is always intoned nine times.

  Recommended candle color: red

  Exorcis
m (General)

  clove, lemon verbena, bay, horehound, black salt, dirt from a holy place (a real holy place, not one that claims to be)

  I cast thee out with light and breath

  Nothing evil will be left!

  Grind ingredients together and scatter over a given area or on the walkway leading to a home or establishment. If within a house, support the working with holy water, the ringing of sweet bells, drumming, or rattles, as well as a lit white candle.

  Recommended candle color: white (although some practitioners use black followed by white)

  Exorcism (“You’ve Gotta Go”)

  dragon’s blood, frankincense, angelica, clove, pennyroyal, white sage, lilac flowers or lilac essential oil (if you can’t find lilac, lavender can be substituted), 1 cup sea salt

  Add the powdered herb blend to the sea salt and stir well. Draw a banishing sigil of your choice into the mixture. Add other sigils as you desire that match your spell intent. If you are dealing with a negative person, place their picture in a metal bowl and cover the picture with the sea salt and herb mixture. Begin running your fingers or a pestle firmly in the bowl, pressing the herbal mixture into the face on the photograph in a circular motion. Connect with the power of the herbs, becoming one with your intent of banishment. This process is to energetically cut the conduits between you and the negative individual. The spell is not meant to harm, but, to take back control of your own energy and block all avenues of connection.

  Recommended candle color: white or black

  Fairy Conjure

  bayberry, mistletoe, woodruff, powdered milk, oakmoss, white sugar, heptagram symbol

  Whisper magick nature hears

  Ye make the bond the words be clear

  Keep your promise, ye are as one

  The magick of the Fey is done!

  Heptagram Symbol

  Draw the sigil in the dirt outside with a stick found (not cut) in the woods. Sprinkle the powder at dusk to call the fairies; add glitter to the blend if you so desire. Remember to leave an offering once you have whispered your petition.

  Recommended candle color: lavender or light green

  Family Protection

  African violet leaves, clove, bay, cinquefoil, dragon’s blood

  Family protection

  Unity divine

  Nothing and no one

  Can harm me and mine.

  This is a nice formula to powder and load into the bottom of a dark blue candle that sits on top of a family photograph. If you roll your own candles, you can craft seven or nine candles of the protective color you desire and then load with the family protection magickal powder at the bottom of the candle. Dot the bottom of each candle with your preferred magickal oil or liquid fluid condenser. Burn for the same number of days as the number of candles, as close to the same time each day as you can. Recite the charm above three times each day.

  Recommended candle color: blue or red

  Fast Cash

  dried cucumber seeds, chocolate mint, cedar, marigold petals, tangerine peel, bergamot, chamomile, grains of paradise

  I knock three times and open the door

  Welcome good fortune, fast cash, and more!

  Wrap mixture in a large wildcrafted sassafras or pumpkin leaf or scatter the powder at your front door. Repeat the first line once and knock on your door from the outside. Open the door and repeat the second line nine times.

  Fiery Wall of Protection

  dragon’s blood, frankincense, myrrh, salt

  To dance, to dream the fiery scene

  The flames become a sacred screen

  The circle of protection firm

  And I within the evil spurn.

  Licking tongues of sparks and light

  Will burn mine enemies day and night.

  This formula and charm combination is often used to encircle a photograph or name of a person who needs protective energies. You can also choose an astrological candle (based on their birthdate) to represent the individual as the center of the working.

  Fireball Motivation or Winning

  cinnamon, yohimbe, dragon’s blood, ginger, mace, hot peppers

  Arise, O sacred salamander

  I conjure thee to do my bidding!

  Creature of fire, work my will by my desire!

  This is a good powder to use when working all manner of fire magicks such as candle, cauldron, bonfire, etc. Sprinkle a bit of the powder on the flame and then proceed with the rest of your working.

  Five Rivers Fear Breaker

  rose petals, St. John’s wort, horehound, yarrow flowers, ylang-ylang

  Five rivers of power flow through my life

  Washing away the fear and the strife.

  Air flows, fire flows, water flows, earth flows

  Spirit flows, I grow!

  Replacing my fear with courage and light!

  Add three drops of universal liquid fluid condenser. Scatter this powder in a free-flowing creek or river as you recite the charm five times. Turn and walk away. Don’t look back.

  If you are at home, burn a blue candle and add the powder to a glass of water. As you repeat the charm, pour the water into a second empty glass. Continue pouring the water back and forth between the two glasses until you have repeated the chant five times. Take the water outside and pour on the ground, asking that the spirits of earth and water combine to bring you peace and release.

  Forgiveness

  white sage, rosemary, sugar, salt

  Forgiveness of the self is the most complicated pattern of all. This powder is used to work through issues of guilt, lack, and regret, and it is an excellent formula to use for meditation, spellwork, and rituals of release. Rub the powder in your hands as you verbally let go of pain, unhappiness, fears, etc. As you brush the powder from your hands, you may wish to say, “Spirits of air, I release all that harms me, blocks me, or stands in the way of my healing. I welcome happiness and harmony into my life.”

  Four Goddess Prosperity

  allspice, patchouli, peppermint, galangal, ginger, sassafras, blue vervain, moss, yellow dock, musk

  Victoria smiles upon my fate

  Concordia brings it to my gate

  Libertas frees me from financial strain

  Abundantia blesses monetary gain

  Within and without, above and below

  As I will, it shall be so!

  I designed this formula after reading Jason Miller’s Financial Sorcery: Magical Strategies to Create Real and Lasting Wealth. This is a wonderful prosperity book with both magickal and practical information. In this working you are accessing the four Roman goddesses of gain and abundance. I use four candles (green, gold, blue, and red) and place the formula in the center of the working. The colors are associated with the four elements; you can choose other colors for the representations if you like.

  Gede (Conjure the Dead)

  myrrh, mistletoe, wormwood, lavender, seven cemetery dirt, an offering of white rum, coffee, and water in separate glasses

  Spirit of the Divine

  The place of the center

  The vortex of the crossroads

  I call the honored dead

  Asking for their assistance

  Empower my actions with your aid.

  Add one drop of each liquid to the powder. This is a calling powder used to call forth the dead. Use carefully and wisely. Note: Wormwood is poisonous; do not inhale. However; I give the ingredient here as it is traditional, particularly if you are using poppets or making charms that use the energies of the dead.

  Recommended candle color: purple and white

  Goddess Caffeina

  ground coffee, allspice, cocoa, ginger, universal fluid condenser (or you can create a matching fluid condenser)

  I win my choice this very da
y

  All fall back, I have my way!

  A great formula to use for action, motivation, courage, to improve memory, movement, to banish nightmares, to protect the family, home, and property, and for healing. Ruled by the planet Mars. This is a super motivational formula and can be used alone or in combination with other spellwork.

  Good Spirits

  myrrh, allspice, rose, althea, sandalwood

  Peace with the gods

  Peace with nature

  Peace within

  Only the good remains!

  This formula is designed to work with the honored dead and is scattered on the ground or altar any time you call energies from beyond the veil. It is a favorite blend for All Hallows’ Eve/Samhain and All Saints’ Day.

  Recommended candle color: white

  Granny Silver’s Special

  action and good fortune formula

  coffee, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg,

  vanilla, ginger, orange peel

  This is a mixture that can be used for a variety of purposes. I first combined the blend for making rolled grubby candles. Later on I added hot water to stain dolls and other projects, including my runic candle board. You can save the liquid in the refrigerator for several months. Simply pour very warm water in a jar and add as much mixture as you like. The more you add, the darker the brew!

  I’ve also used it in poppets, loaded it into candles, added it to conjuring bags and mystic packets, and used the liquid form to dress candles, talismans and … whew! You name it!

  This is an action formula. All items are dry, except the vanilla extract—three drops will do or use nine for a large batch.

  The formula is heavily fire, and it works extremely well with gold, red, orange, or yellow candles. Very all-purpose, it can be used for luck, love, money, good fortune, success, movement, and banishing (particularly if you add red hot peppers). You can even draw runes with the blend. You can add other ingredients to suit your needs: for example, graveyard dirt for protection or banishing; lavender, mint, or cinquefoil for more money; etc. Dirt from a prosperous business can be included if you are looking to expand your income or find a job.

  Once you have all your ingredients together, perform a ceremony to empower the blend. Don’t forget to seal your work. And yes, it does take on more power if you bury it for three days in the earth. Keep your dry mixture in an airtight container (a coffee can works great). I clearly mark mine “Granny Silver’s Special” on the top with black marker so that someone doesn’t put it in the coffee maker by mistake!
