Gathering Our Supplies
Here is a list of the supplies we will need for this project. A complete list of essential oils can be found at the bottom of the post, along with instructions for home made colored candles, and an easy to make draw string pouch.
Day One:
- A dollar bill
- If you have a five, ten, twenty, or even a fifty that can be used too. Just be aware that the money must remain in place for a period of a little more than 2 weeks.
- Cinnamon or Nutmeg
Day Two:
- A mirror (your bathroom mirror will work just fine)
- A blue candle
- You can use any kind of candle. The only type of candle that will not work would be a small birthday candle because it would burn itself out too soon, and not give off enough light.
- If you have trouble finding a blue candle you can make one pretty easily – see the “how to” at the bottom of this post.
Day Three:
- A coin – a penny, dime, quarter, a silver dollar would be really cool … but any coin will work just fine
Day Four:
- You already have what you need for today’s spell
Day Five:
- Olive oil
- Something gold. A gold Sacajawea dollar would be great. I think you can get them at the bank – they cost a dollar. An ear ring, or other piece of jewelry made of gold would work just fine too.
- A small jar that the dollar or the jewelry will fit into
- Cinnamon Oil- optional – you can also find this at a pharmacy
- If you want to create a prosperity oil with essential oils, you will need the following:
Marjoram, Lemon, and Eucalyptus
Day Six:
- A Spindle – the kind that can be found in the office supply area of a store. I found them at Office Max – they had 2 colors, silver and black.
- Prosperity oil (we made this the day before)
- Powdered cinnamon
- 3 one dollar bills
Days Seven thru Thirteen – Wealthy Week:
- One candle in each of these colors: gold, white, pink, red, and blue
- Two green candles
- Great big candles will not be appropriate, but any other candle will be fine. You could even use a birthday candles (if you can find a gold one)
- As I posted earlier, you could make one pretty easily- see the “how to” at the bottom of this post.
- Loose change
- Handkerchief (if your pile of loose change looks really small)
Day Fourteen:
- Oak leaves, twigs, bits of bark, and/or acorn
- Petals or seeds from a Sunflower
- Cinnamon stick
- Three whole cloves
- Lucky stone – any small stone will do if you like it and decide to call it “lucky”
- Small trinket or coin – again it is not important what exactly you choose, it could be an earring, ring, charm from a charm bracelet, or a coin – doesn’t matter
- Small horse shoe charm, or the horse shoe symbol drawn on a small piece of paper
- Prosperity oil or, if you wish to use essential oils, the following could be used: Cinnamon, Benzoin, Myrrh, Patchouli
- Yellow, green, and orange thread (just enough to tie around the leaves and twigs)
- A small drawstring bag – if you don’t have one, you can make your own using the EZ directions at the bottom of this post. It’s super easy, and cheap.
Day Fifteen:
- A quartz crystal (if you don’t have one, they can often be found at Amazon or new age shops as well as hobby shops. Hobby Lobby used to have them, I am not sure if they still do.)
Day Sixteen:
- Green Candle
- Mint.. fresh or dried.. if you have mint tea, you can open a tea bag and use that
Day Seventeen:
- Nine cloves of garlic
- Thorns from a white rose bush
- Three small jars
Day Eighteen:
- Small paper cup
- Water
Day Nineteen:
- White candle (any size)
- Dictionary
Day Twenty:
- Dirt (potting soil is fine.. dirt from outside is fine too) If you decide to get a small bag of potting soil, save what’s left – as we will be using potting soil in another spell later on.
- Sieve
- Paper towel or bowl
- Garlic Powder or Dragon’s Blood (powder, incense, or essential oil)
Day Twenty One:
- An old shoe
- Magic marker of any color
- Someplace to have a fire in which you can burn the shoe
Day Twenty Two:
- Lottery form (the kind where you pick the number)
- One green candle for each number (5 candles if there are 5 numbers.. 6 if there are 6.. etc)
- Powdered nutmeg
Day Twenty Three:
- Green candle (any size will do)
Day Twenty Four:
- Five White votive candles – you can use more if you want to
- A plate that you often eat from
- One Gold, silver, green, or white candle – this candle has a different purpose than the votives and can be any size.
Day Twenty Five:
- One brown egg
- A tablespoon of brown sugar
- Brown marker or crayon
- Potting soil and container
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Incense (any flavor will be fine)
- Candle (brown, white, or red)
Day Twenty Six:
- A roll of toilet paper
- Marker or pen
Day Twenty Seven:
- Envelope or box in which to place your bills as they come in (we won’t leave the bills there and not pay them.. LOL.. but we will have a place to put them until they get paid)
- Black pen, marker, or pencil (just not colored)
- Vinegar
Day Twenty-Eight:
- Broom
- Dust pan
- Paper or plastic bag – grocery bag size will do – any kitchen garbage bag will also work just fine
- Salt
- Pink or gold candle (nothing big as this will be left to burn out naturally)
- Rose incense – or any flavor of incense that you really like.
- An item or object in your home that reminds you of bad luck, a bad time in your life, it could be a picture of a person or it could be something that is broken.. or you could draw a picture to represent the “bad luck” in your life. Whatever it is, just be aware that it will be destroyed in the course of the spell – so it needs to be something that you are ready to let go of.
Day Twenty Nine:
- Silver spoon – it doesn’t have to be “real” silver
- Sugar
Day Thirty:
- Coins – however much spare change you happen to have – the more the merrier (and don’t worry, these will only be used this one time and then can be returned to wherever they came from)
- Green candle
- White piece of paper
- Green pen or marker
Note:
Some of the spells for these days are out of order, and I can’t seem to find what spell the ingredients for Day Thirty go to. LOL. It seems to have disappeared. If you happen to wander on to it, leave a comment to let me know and I’ll link it.

well everyone, are we ready for Gypsy magic? here are a couple of websites i found that have gypsy history and lore.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/romany_roots/history/index.shtml
http://www.romani.org
http://www.gypsyadvice.com/gypsy_lore.htm
part of the thing that i know Shirley and i have talked about is the fact that gypsy magic is all about prosperity, luck, and money. also included are health, harmony, and a fair number of curses, but the act of performing magic specifically for luck or to draw money is not taboo. unlike our prayer experiment, where some might have felt some intrinsic guilt for praying for financial gain, the gypsy feeling in general is….the more you do to help your luck, the more you are likely to profit and be blessed in the eyes of the spirits. i love gypsy magic because of the smooth electric feeling of doing something magical that you know someone in a caravan long ago originated, used successfully, and passed down. and, it is centered on the natural world and easily obtainable ingredients. i can’t wait! see you all monday…
I have a really good feeling about this and I actually think it is going to work.
What I like about this project is that it is centered around money and luck. I have always had pretty decent luck, but I never cared very much about money, and I think this will help me to love my money when I have it, and not be afraid to let it go where it needs to go.
If anyone has trouble finding the needed ingredients, email me.
