materials:
a piece of paper, pen, white candle, green candle, dried basil, dried peppermint, cinnamon stick, carnelian, obsidian, native copper with malachite, aventurine or peridot stone* note: you may use all, some or none of these suggested crystals, choose those whose properties speak to you the most. There are no wrong ones, a small pouch with a string to tie it, preferably in one of the seasonal colors
Gather your supplies, then cleanse your space. You can use a smoke cleansing bundle or incense.
Take some time to ground and center yourself. Call upon any elements, deities, ancestors you may work with. Draw down the energy until you feel ready.
Light the white candle.
Write 10 things that you are grateful for right now, at this moment in time.
Read aloud each thing 3 times.
You may create your own blessing, or say as follows:
I sit in gratitude with the riches that are in my life.
These people, places and things fill me with happiness and contentment.
Thank you Earth for all that you provide
Thank you (spirits/deities/ancestors) for all that you provide
I am whole in peace and love.
At this point you may close your magical space, and proceed with enjoying a bountiful meal, drinks with friends, or a walk in a park or somewhere in nature if you feel so inclined. You may also continue with the following herb pouch spell for abundance, or do so at a later time. Whichever works best for you.
If you create your pouch at a different time, call down the energy and ground yourself like before, if not continue on.
Light your green candle.
To your mortar and pestle, add peppermint. Say:
Peppermint, bring prosperity and abundance to me.
Grind the peppermint. Next, add the basil. Say:
Basil, bring success and abundance to all my endeavors.
Grind the peppermint. Next, add the cinnamon stick. Say:
Cinnamon, bring success and strength to all my efforts.
