Carve a prosperity rune or symbol on the candles and dress them with any of the above oils.
Visualize your goal as you dress them. Add a chant if you like.

"Wealth and money, come to me, I deserve prosperity."

Light the candles on your altar or place of magick. Place the empowered herbs in the bag and ask
for the blessings of the earth. Wave the bag through the incense smoke and ask for the blessings
of air. Pass the bag throught the flame of each candle and ask for the blassings of fire. Anoint
the bag with any of the money drawing oils and ask for the blessings of water. Hold the stones and
tell them what they are to do. Explain their magickal purpose. Add them to your pouch. Take the
cinnamon stick and drip some green wax on one end and gold wax on the other. These are 2
traditional money drawing colors but can also be viewed as colors for the Goddess (Green) and the
God (Gold). Ask for their blessing on your spell. Say:

**********************************

Earth Charm

Tie up a small green square of cloth, some fresh herbs, rich soil and tie firmly so the soil and
earth may not escape. Carry this with you if you have troubles with stability, security or self
control. If you tend to let your emotions control you at times, nervous or angry this is a good
grounding charm.
