Let’s Win the Lottery
The Romanies often like to gamble, and they advise using this spell for the lottery.
Light one green candle for each of the numbers to be selected. Sit quietly and ponder the flames, allowing each flame in turn to suggest a number.
Fill in the form according to the numbers that come into your head. Sprinkle the sheet with nutmeg and then snuff out the candles. Leave the form dusted with nutmeg for a day before thoroughly brushing it off.

Stomping Out Problems
Here is a spell to remove a problem. Write the problem on the sole of an old shoe. Put the shoe on, stomp on the problem three times, then take the shoe off and burn it in a fire.

Gypsy Fun
It’s Gypsy Fun day.
If you are unable to come to our little get together, you can still enjoy an evening of Gypsy Fun. Light some candles, pour yourself a glass of red wine, and plan an evening of entertainment.
Here are some links to some “fun stuff” that you can do:
- Read a spooky story
- Find out what your magical personality is
- Get a tarot card reading
- Find out if you and your lover are compatible
And here’s a gypsy blessing:
Ja Develehi!
Az Develehi!
Ja Develeskey!
Az Develeskey!
Heri Devlis!
Which actually means:
Go with God!
Stay with God!
Go, for God’s sake!
Stay, for God’s sake!
By God!
Moving Mountains that Block Your Way
According to the 16th century Swiss alchemist Paracelsus, the gnome is able to move through earth in the same manner that a fish swims through water or a human walks through air. Gnomes are associated with the fey, or fairy-folk, and are equated with earthly treasures, earth consciousness, and great knowledge of the magick in rocks, caves, roots, gems, and mountains.
Because gnomes can move through earth like fish swim through water, one can turn to the gnomes to move a block of earth energy within oneself, or a block placed in our path by another.
This spell is particularly good when things have been moving along just fine for you, you’ve been recovering from your debts, sailing ahead and suddenly – thwack! You run into some sort of a block. Before you spend days, weeks, or months worrying, try this spell.
Supplies:
- 1 cup dirt
- A sieve
- A handful (up to 1/2 oz) of ginger or dragon’s blood herb
Instructions:
Over a paper towel or bowl, pour the cup of dirt into the sieve. Add the ginger (or dragon’s blood)
Say:
Element of earth,
move the mountain of ___________ (state what is stuck)
As the ginger (or dragon’s blood) mixes with the earth,
so shall the blocks in my life
be broken gently apart and removed,
so that I may prosper.
As the dirt shakes out of the sieve, visualize the financial problems in your life breaking up and dissolving. Once all the dirt is through the sieve, turn the sieve over and tap it seven times to remove any excess dirt.
Carry the dirt to a crossroads at midnight and dump it there, once again asking the element of earth to gently disperse the negativity in your life with harm to none.
Wash the sieve, asking the element of water to gently cleanse your situation.

Make Friends With Fate
Fate, it is said, may be influenced in your favor if you know your personal magic word.
To find it, light a white candle and sit facing south. Take a dictionary; close your eyes and turn the book around several times so that you are unaware of which way it is facing.
Eyes closed, fan the pages until you feel compelled to stop at a certain page.
Eyes still closed, wander about the page using your forefinger until you feel inclined to pause. Open your eyes, look at the word under your finger. If there is more than one word, pick the first that jumps out at you from the page. This is your magic word.
You can remind yourself of your magic word mentally or verbally whenever you wish to tune in to a situation, or whenever you feel you need a boost of energy. It will change the vibration around you and attract good influences.
Important note:
It is better not to talk about your word too much – if at all. The more you verbalize about it, the less power it will have. Too much talking about something, particularly something sacred and magical, tends to dilute the energy. This does not mean that your word must be a “secret”. It does mean that it is important to keep your “magic word” to yourself, and for sure do not share it with anyone who would make light of it, or belittle you in any way.

Banishing Blocks
This is a thermal photograph of an ice cube melting. Isn’t it awesome?
Banishing blocks with Water Undines:
Undines are female derivatives of water spirits. Like the other elements, the Undines contribute to the universal life force through purification, movement and sound.
This spell uses the properties of water turned to ice. Pour spring water into a small, new paper or plastic cup. Freeze.
When you are ready to perform the spell, take the cup out of the freezer. Place upside-down in a bowl. Hold your hands over the ice and name what has frozen in your financial affairs. Blow on the ice three times.
And chant:
Breath of spirit,
Warmth of love.
Allow the ice to thaw, visualizing the financial difficulty flowing away from you. When it is thawed, pour the water on a house plant – our outside around a tree or shrub. As you pour the water out, think about how the energy of spirit and the warmth of love can now freely flow through you to nourish and heal those around you.
Pour Out Your Troubles
This is a spell to be done on the night of a full moon:
In a moment,
hold out your hands in front of you,
as though you were holding
a sphere
the size of a small melon.
Imagine that you are holding the moon.
The full moon.. is in your hands.. and you are holding it.
you can see it..
bright and shining in your hands
just like it is bright and shining in the sky.
Into this sphere,
I want you to pour all your troubles,
all your cares,
all your worries
and all those things that swirl around in the back of our minds
and make our thinking unclear
and our motivation murky.
Let them all pour into this amazing container –
thoughts, pictures, feelings, people, bills, the past, the future,
all of it.
It’s quick once it gets going.
When you have poured in all your current cares,
take the sphere in both hands,
lift it up high over your head and throw it behind you.
back up into the sky.
each day as the moon wanes..
your troubles are waning along with it..
Take a deep breath
and enjoy.

Removing Misfortune
According to the Romanies, extricating yourself or someone you care for from a streak of bad luck and misfortune is not difficult.
Take three small jars and nine garlic cloves, and a number of thorns from a white rose. Stick the thorns into the garlic cloves and place three cloves in each jar.
Each jar should be buried within sight of a church porch while you say the Lord’s Prayer.
Note: Best done under the light of a full moon.
Here is the Lord’s Prayer in the Gypsy Dialect of Transylvania:
Miro gulo Devel, savo hal oté ando Cheros,
te avel swuntunos tiro nav;
te avel catari tiro tem;
te keren saro so cames oppo puv,
sar ando Cheros.
Dé man sekhonus miro diveskoe manro,
ta ierta mangue saro so na he plaskerava tuke,
sar me ierstavava wafo manuschengue saro so na plaskerelen mangue.
Ma muk te petrow ando chungalo camoben;
tama lel man abri saro doschdar.
Weika tiro sin o tem,
tiri yi potea,
tiri yi proslava akana ta sekovar.
pa amara choribo.
And here is the English Translation:
My sweet God,
who art there in Heaven,
may thy name come hallowed;
may thy kingdom come hither;
may they do all that thou wishest upon earth,
as in Heaven.
Give me to-day my daily bread,
and forgive me all that I cannot pay thee,
as I shall forgive other men all that they do not pay me.
Do not let me fall into evil desire;
but take me out from all wickedness.
For thine is the kingdom,
thine the power,
thine the glory now and ever.

Full Moon Mojo
This is the day when we go through all our little new moon “mojo’s” and reset them for the full moon. Lots of little easy tasks.
If you put a dollar under your doormat, today is the day to remove it if that’s what you want to do. If you do remove it, sprinkle the spot where it was with a little pinch or two of mint to freshen the energy.
If you like that spell, and want to keep it going, you can leave it where it is until the new moon (about 2 weeks from now), at which point you can either refresh your dollar with cinnamon, or replace it with a larger bill.. say for example, a five dollar bill.
If you do opt to remove the dollar bill, it might be fun to put it on your spindle (or in your envelope) so it can continue to draw all that good prosperity to you.
If you put a coin in your windowsill, today is the day to flip it over so that the “tails” side is up. “Heads” up brings money in. “Tails” up deflects and sends money problems out. When you flip your coin, it might be nice to hold it in your hands for a moment and appreciate the good energy it brought to you.
If you made Madam Fortuna’s prosperity oil, today is the day to fish that coin out of the oil, gently and appreciatively wash it with warm soapy water. Add a pinch of ginger to the oil after you remove the coin, this will act as a sealant for the energy accumulated as the moon became full.
If you have a decorative bottle that you would like to use for your prosperity oil, now is a good time to fill it. Hand blown Egyptian glass perfume bottles are really really cool, and not very expensive.
I also found a nice little full moon ritual/meditation. It’s pretty simple, and a nifty way to pull in the “fullness of the moon” into your prosperity.
Light a green candle and sprinkle some mint around the base of it. (This can be mint leaves, mint essential oil, or even a handful of peppermints.)
Sit quietly and comfortably. Close your eyes. Relax. See yourself as the energy of prosperity. Be the energy of prosperity. Imagine that you are in the center of a radiating circle of prosperity.
Chant out loud or repeat in your mind:
Circle, circle, round, round
Round, round, circle, round.
Do this for however long is comfortable. Open your eyes, remind yourself that you are the energy of prosperity. Put out the candle or allow it to burn down.
Note: This spell is best performed when the moon is full, however it can be used any time you feel a need.

A Healing Crystal
A quartz crystal emits a frequency of energy, a vibration. Romanies are known for using crystal balls for clairvoyance, but they also use quartz rock crystal for healing.
If you have a piece of quartz, first wash it in warm soapy water and rinse it with running water. Then hold the crystal in both hands. Close your eyes and imagine being bathed in white light. Visualize the area of your illness and point the crystal to that site. Imagine a stream of light flowing from the crystal and bathing the area in its pure rays.
Place your crystal under your pillow while you sleep.
You can also wrap your crystal with wire and wear it on a ribbon or chain and keep it close to your heart.
Note:
If you are interested in learning how to wire wrap crystals, instructions can be found at Witch Way, unfortunately they don’t have any pictures posted. A really cool tutorial with pictures can be found at Tower Crystals. Their tools and supplies look a little intimidating, but looking at their pictures and then reading the Witch Way tutorial might give you enough information to get the job done. Or, you can purchase a kit complete with a quartz crystal at Arkansas Crystal Works. And I also found an online class in wire wrapping at the Bead Man.
Update:
I double checked the above links and only one leads to an actual page. I’m sure, however, that a search on Google will bring up a bunch of stuff about how to wrap crystals.
