Cheap Wish Spell

For this one all you need is either a scrap of old clothing or a bit of leftover yarn. For the sake of the environment it is best to use natural materials such as 100% wool or cotton as opposed to polyester blends.

Use a permanent marker to write your wish onto the scrap of material and tie it onto a friendly tree. This can be some simply or you can scribe your wish as part of a more elaborate spell working.

Alternately, use yarn (or ribbon thin fabric scraps) in a color associated with your wish and tie multiple pieces onto a tree that you resonate with.
  • red = love
  • yellow = creativity
  • green = prosperity, fertility
  • etc.
May it go well for you

Cheap Prosperity Spell

Cut out currency sized pieces of green (or the color of currency in your country) construction paper.

Draw basic designs on these "bills" so you can tell they represent money.

Make enough so that, along with the usual currency you carry, you can fill your wallet to capacity.

On the night of the full moon mark each bill* with either a rune associated with prosperity or simply a pentacle uttering words along the lines of

May my wallet ever be full
May I always have enough
May my wallet never be empty
Even when times are tough

Place each bill in your usual wallet, purse or billfold. Each time you open your wallet and catch sight of the bills recite the verse silently to yourself.

* You can mark each bill either by simply tracing with the pointer finger of your dominant hand or by using a magical oil such as this one.

Cheap Cinnamon Oil

Some of the best spell ingredients are those you make yourself. And, even better they are generally also significantly cheaper than anything you can buy in your local Witchy shop. You can also make as much or as little as you want or need which also helps to keep costs down.

Empty glass jars (2)* - washed and rinsed well
Stick cinnamon - purchase at your local dollar store
canola oil or another light vegetable oil

Fill 1 jar with broken bits of cinnamon sticks. Cover with vegetable oil. Seal jar tightly and shake to allow air bubbles to rise to top.

Allow to steep for at least two weeks, shaking once a day, and then strain oil away from solids into the second jar.


This oil would be wonderful made at the dark moon and allowed to steep for the 2 weeks leading up to a full moon during which you plan a prosperity spell.

If storing the oil for any length of time, pierce a Vitamin E capsule with a sterilized needle and squeeze the contents into the ritual oil blend as a preservative.

Cautions:
  • Be aware that as with any natural substances allergic reactions are always possible, be careful if and when applying any natural substance to your skin
  • Be aware that some herbs are by their very nature potentially irritating, even without an allergy being present
  • Be aware that this recipe is not intended for consumption or ingestion



* used "stage 1" baby food jars are wonderful for making small amounts of ritual oils
