We all know the economy is a disaster, with some even going as far as to call it a Recession. But it’s a common belief that the Universe (or higher power) can give us whatever it is that we need. We are not put on this big ball of land and water to suffer or worry. We are here to learn life’s little lessons.

In light of that, I’m going to tell you some, well, let’s call them, “enchantments”, that will help you to attract money. Not in a way that will backfire or harm anyone, but the Law of Attraction states that like is drawn to like. Some of the things you will encounter may be new to you, some are things you use everyday and never think twice about the power they hold. So put on your seat belts and let’s begin!

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, everything has energy! Plants, tables, chairs, stone…it’s all made up of the same molecules and energy. Even in ancient cultures they believed that certain objects had spiritual purpose or could bring aid when needed. Now, personally, I believe that these things are just tools to help one focus their energy, but I can’t eliminate the possibility that the extra energy from these objects help. What I can say is that these are all tried and true methods of bringing what you need most and it can all be found in your home!

Bay Leaves Bring Success

Bay leaves are a great place to start. Bay has been known in pagan cultures for centuries as a monetary attractant and a success herb. So go out and get get whole bay leaves — dried is okay, but fresh is best. You are going to put one in each corner of your home or office. That simple.

Catch Customers With Honey!

Have you ever heard the phrase you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar? Did you ever think of where that belief came from? Yes it has an alternative meaning (be nice) but it also has a literal meaning. If you are running a business and customers are trickling in but not giving you the amount of income you need then grab some honey, 3 quarters and one $1 bill. Your are going to put the three quarters and dollar in the honey all the while visualizing customers at your door. When they come in they are ready to buy. See your register or client sheet filling up with names and totals. Then place the honey jar by the door customers come through.

Clean House With Vinegar

Vinegar. Okay, I know I just said that whole thing about vinegar and honey but this substance has it’s own spiritual purposes. Vinegar helps to clear negative or stale energies and will also draw people to notice your building. So wash the windows and doors with it! You will feel better and it will get rid of anything that may interrupt your enchantment.

Plant Your Successes

Do you have any potted plants laying around? Maybe a Golden Pothos (devil’s ivy), Bamboo, Wandering Jew or Ivy…even a cactus? Either way it needs to be a plant that just will not die. I live in an apartment, and let me tell you gardening is not my forte but these hard to kill willful plants are the best money maker on the market.

I’m not saying set a stand by the road and sell them, but if you already have one get ready to get your hands dirty because you’re going to repot it! When you have all the necessary materials together (plant, pot, soil), make sure to grab a dollar bill and place it into the roots or under the root ball. As the plant grows and strengthens so will your finances.

This same belief was practiced with children in ancient Celtic societies where they actually put the child’s afterbirth under the roots of a solid sturdy oak. Guaranteeing that as long as that oak lives and grows the child will be healthy.

There are so many legends, superstitions and enchantments that affect us in our daily life. Don’t walk across a crack or under a ladder…every birthday a family member has to put butter on your nose (maybe that’s just me) so the problems of the next year will slide right off…I think the essence of the whole thing is belief. If you believe or wish for something hard enough it will happen.
