Making A Gypsy Medicine Bag
A Parik-til is the Gypsy version of a medicine or mojo bag. To create a parik-til, a small drawstring pouch is made in the appropriate color for the intended purpose. Into this goes various little objects: herbs, stones, feathers, sometimes a charm or piece of paper inscribed with a simple spell. This list is endless; it is only important that the objects seem sympathetic to your purpose.
Collect leaves and twigs of the oak tree, including a small acorn if available, the petals and/or seeds of the sunflower, a piece of cinnamon stick, three cloves, a stone that feels lucky for you, a horseshoe charm if you can find one – or a small picture or hand drawn symbol to represent a horse shoe, and a little trinket such as a bit of jewelry or a coin.
Feel free to add anything else that seems relevant, or meaningful to you. Tie the oak leaves and twigs with a bit of green yellow and orange thread. Put all the items into a drawstring bag. Perfume with an essential oil such as Myrrh, Benzoin, Cinnamon, or Patchouli, or dab with prosperity oil.
Hold the bag in your hands and feel the energy contained within. Parik-til means blessing holder, the objects inside the bag are symbols of the blessings you are holding. Take a few minutes to allow yourself to really feel it.
If you have never made a simple drawstring bag, they are super easy, and you can find hundreds of tutorials online, or you can check out my less than artistic rendition of how to make a drawstring pouch in about 5 minutes using a handkerchief, a ribbon, and a needle and thread.

Wealthy Week – Last Day
This is the last day of Wealthy Week. Tonight we burn a green candle, saying “Thank you for the money I have already received form the invisible world.” Leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. Now you can gather up the coins and use them however you wish.
What a cool picture huh? I finally got it uploaded. Whew! That took me all day. So tomorrow we are going to be venturing out into new territory. Trying new spells. The focus with the full moon and then the waning of her thereafter will be on eliminating problems, disposing of blockages, and stuff like that. Some of the spells will be “interesting” and with the weather being what it is, maybe even really really hard. So I will upload an alternative for them.
Be warm.. and be safe.
Wealthy Week – Day 6
This is day six of Wealthy Week, only one more day of colored candles and coins and then we are on to something new and different. A variety of objects will be needed for Sunday, I don’t think any of them will be hard to find. You can find a preview of our Sunday project over at Gyspy Magic Spells and Charms. Also it might be a good idea to review our Gathering Supplies post to see what’s coming up.
This evening, we burn a blue candle surrounded by piles of loose change. It is important not to count the cash. If there are so few coins you cannot help but notice, cover them with a handkerchief. Watching the candle flame, say:
“Thank you for the money I have already received from the invisible world.”
Leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. Afterward gather up the coins for use tomorrow night.
What an awesome picture this is. I wonder what it was like to grow up in a house like this! It makes me want a gypsy wagon and a gypsy lifestyle, but then I would have to have horses, and a man to take care of the horses, the wagon wheels, and firewood. And I would want my family and friends riding along with me; I would want to be traveling in a place where we DON’T have blizzards and 10 inches of snow; I would want to be young enough to enjoy it, and old enough to feel comfortable and settled into it. I wonder, would I miss my computer really a lot? And where would I put all my stuff?
Wealthy Week – Day 5
This is day 5 of Wealthy Week, and tonight we burn a green candle surrounded by our accumulated pile of coins. Remember to look into the candle flame and say thank you to the invisible world for the money you have received.
Some of you may not be aware of this, but my great great grandfather ran away with a gypsy and came back 2 years later with a baby. This baby was my great grandfather. I also have an undetermined amount of Rom on my mother’s side of the family. So my “gypsy intuition” is usually pretty right on. And it tells me that today could be a dangerous day if a person is not careful. The “eye” is a powerful symbol of protection, and I am posting this “eye of Horus” as a protective spell around each of us today.
Wealthy Week – Midpoint
Today is the fourth day of Wealthy Week. This evening, we will be burning a red candle surrounded by piles of loose change. Watching the candle flame, say:
“Thank you for the money I have already received from the invisible world.”
Leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. Afterward gather up the coins. We will be using them again tomorrow evening.
-oOo-
A Romany saying to induce money luck is:
Trinka Five
And remember:
A miracle is going to happen today!
Wealthy Week – Day 3
This is the third day of Wealthy Week, and this evening it’s a pink candle that is lit, hopefully our pile of coins is a little bit bigger, and we are experiencing little glimmerings of experience in being supported by the invisible world.
I found this picture on an investment website. I wish is was a picture of gypsy women harvesting money instead of “corporate type” men.. But I figure we can use our imagination and visioning skills and look beyond the “appearance”.
Wealthy Week – Day 2
This is the second day of “Wealthy Week“, so tonight burn a white candle in the same way you did yesterday, adding to the heap of coins, any more you might have accumulated throughout the day. Watching the candle flame, say:
“Thank you for the money I have already received from the invisible world.”
Leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself.
Wealthy Week Begins
On a Sunday evening, burn a gold candle surrounded by piles of loose change. It is important not to count the cash. If there are so few coins you cannot help but notice, cover them with a handkerchief. Watching the candle flame, say:
“Thank you for the money I have already received from the invisible world.”
Leave the candle to burn down and extinguish itself. Afterward gather up the coins. You will need them for the next evening’s spell.
On Monday burn a white candle in the same way, adding to the heap of coins any more you have accumulated throughout the day. Repeat words of thanks for money already received from the invisible world.
On Tuesday use a pink candle and add to the coin collection the loose change the day has brought you. Speak the magic words again.
Continue with the words and the same coins, adding daily to the pile. Use a red candle on Wednesday, a green candle on Thursday, a blue candle on Friday, and on Saturday a green candle.
Stash away your cash and reserve it for money spells. The more coins you accumulate, the greater the power of attraction.
(Of course, you can also throw the coins into your purse.)

Earth Abundance Spell
Supplies:
- A thin spindle (the kind they stick cash register receipts on)
- 3 one dollar bills (higher denominations are OK too – just be aware that you won’t be using them unless you have a “money emergency”)
- Powdered Cinnamon
- Prosperity oil
Instructions:
Dip the tip of the spindle into the prosperity oil. Place one dollar bill on the spindle. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Hold your hands over the dollar bill and say:
Veiled Fortuna, Goddess of luck,
sweet sister of fortune
spinner of the Wheel of Destiny
grant me the gift of prosperity.
Bring me the blessings of positive abundance.
With harm to none, so mote it be.
Place the second dollar bill on top of the first. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Hold your hands over the bills and say:
Spirits of Earth, element of prosperity,
strong Mother of my fortune,
grant me the gift of unlimited resources.
Bring me the blessings of positive abundance.
With harm to none, so mote it be.
Place the third dollar bill on top of the second. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Hold your hands over the bills and say:
I am fortunate.
I am successful.
I am positive abundance.
I am prosperity!
Every evening, before you go to bed, add a dollar bill or two to the pile. Don’t forget to sprinkle with cinnamon, and say the last affirmation:
I am prosperity!
When your spindle is full, remove all but the last dollar and start over again. The “spindle” money can be placed in a special savings account to used for special projects, or it can be saved in a “magical money box” and saved for a rainy day. As the money on the spindle increases, so will your personal finances.
If you find that you must use the dollars on the spindle for some unforeseen emergency, be sure to leave the first dollar. If something happens, and you spend that first dollar, you will need to do the spell again.

Madam Fortuna’s Prosperity Oil
The optimum time to make this oil is 5 days following the new moon. But it can be made any time during the new or crescent moon phase.
Supplies:
- A small item made of gold
- Olive oil
- Small clean container (preferably glass) with a tight fitting lid
- Powdered cinnamon or cinnamon essential oil
Instructions:
- Place the item made of gold into the container
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of cinnamon essential oil
- Pour enough olive into the container to cover the item and fill the container to the halfway mark.
Cradle the container in your hands and think about how grateful and happy you are for the prosperity that you already have, and for the prosperity that is coming to you.
Then gently breathe this gratitude and happiness into the container, continue to breathe it into the container until it has been filled the rest of the way to the top with loving gratitude.
Put the lid on the container, and tighten it.
- Tap the lid with your middle finger once and say “Thank you to the Father”
- Tap the lid with your middle finger a second time and say “Thank you to the Mother”
- Tap the lid with your middle finger for a third time and say “Thank you to the Living Spirit in all things”
This prosperity oil will gradually increase in potency as the moon waxes toward full, and can be used at any time.
On the full moon:
- Remove the gold item – and gently and lovingly clean it.
- Drop a pinch of powdered ginger into the container.
Cradle the container in your hands and think about how grateful and happy you are for the prosperity that you already have, and for the prosperity that is coming to you.
Put the lid on the container, and tighten it.
- Tap the lid with your middle finger once and say “Thank you to the Father”
- Tap the lid with your middle finger a second time and say “Thank you to the Mother”
- Tap the lid with your middle finger for a third time and say “Thank you to the Living Spirit in all things”
Hints and tips:
- If it seems that there is no prosperity in your life to be grateful for, think of something that makes you happy, or someone you love.
- A Sacajawea gold dollar is a great item to use – and they can be purchased for $1 at your local bank.
