I used to roll my eyes at the word “spell.” Until I needed one.

There was a time—not long ago—when I felt completely disconnected from magic, from possibility, from anything that felt bigger than me. Bills piled up. I worked hard, gave my all, and still barely made it through the month. I stopped dreaming. I stopped asking. I was surviving—but I was exhausted.

Then one night, I stumbled across an old notebook I had as a teenager, filled with scribbled affirmations and symbols I once believed had power. I remembered that girl. She believed in magic. And in that moment, I wanted to believe again.

So, I gave myself permission to try—not from desperation, but from quiet hope. I tried a spell. Then another. Some were tiny, others more elaborate. But all of them had something in common: they made me feel powerful again.

To my surprise, they didn’t just help my mindset—they brought results. Unexpected checks. Paid collaborations. Gifts. Opportunities. And slowly, the impossible felt possible again.

These five spells weren’t just rituals. They were reminders—that the universe is listening, and that my energy matters.

What Made These Spells Different?

I had tried scripting, manifesting, even vision boards before. What made these spells different was the intention + embodiment. They weren’t just visual or mental. They were felt. Lit candles. Burned leaves. Spoken words. I used my senses—and something shifted.

They didn’t just make me believe in magic again… they made me believe in myself.

If you’re curious, open-hearted, and ready to invite abundance with a bit of ritual, these spells are a beautiful place to start.

Spell 1: The Cinnamon & Green Candle Manifestation

This one felt like calling my power back.

I lit a green candle, the color of money and growth. I rubbed it gently with a bit of cinnamon oil—to speed things up, as cinnamon is known to do.

Then I carved into the wax with a toothpick: “Wealth flows freely to me.” I lit the candle and placed three coins around it in a triangle.

As the flame flickered, I whispered:

“With this fire, I light my path.
Money flows, no fear, no lack.”

I let the candle burn while journaling about the life I was ready to receive. The very next day, I got a refund from a subscription I’d canceled months ago. Was it coincidence? Maybe. But it felt like magic to me.

Spell 2: Bay Leaf Burn for Financial Relief

The first time I felt money magic in my bones.

I took a dry bay leaf and wrote on it:
“I receive $1,000 with ease.”

I lit a small white candle, held the bay leaf above the flame (in a fire-safe dish), and focused on what that money would feel like—freedom, calm, gratitude. Then I burned it, letting the smoke carry my wish upward.

Within one week, I received a freelance opportunity worth exactly that amount.

What struck me wasn’t just the result—but how clear and connected I felt during the ritual. It felt like speaking to the universe in its own language.

Spell 3: Mirror Affirmation Spell for Worthiness

This wasn’t about attracting money—it was about believing I was worthy of it.

I stood in front of my mirror every morning for seven days. I placed one hand on my heart and the other on my belly and said:

“I am safe to receive money.
I am worthy of overflow.
I am a woman of wealth.”

At first, I teared up. Then I smiled. By the end of the week, I felt different. Not desperate, not begging—but open.

This spell didn’t bring me an instant windfall—but it made me raise my rates, stop over-apologizing, and claim my value. That alone brought more income than I’d seen in months.

Spell 4: Rice Bowl of Prosperity

My abuela always said rice attracted wealth. Now I know why.

I took a small bowl and filled it with uncooked rice, placing in the center a coin, a bay leaf, and a small note that read:
“Money multiplies around me.”

Each day, I’d hold the bowl in my hands and say thank you for something I had received—no matter how small. This was less of a “spell” and more of a living altar. After a month, I replaced the items and buried the old ones with gratitude.

While this bowl sat on my windowsill, I saw small financial wins stack up: unexpected tips, sales, referrals, and new clients. My space felt like it was humming with abundance.

Spell 5: The Full Moon Debt Release Ritual

Letting go of shame was the most powerful magic of all.

On a full moon, I sat with a black candle, a piece of paper, and my journal. I wrote down the number: my total debt. Just looking at it made me want to cry. But I read it out loud anyway.

Then I said:

“This number does not define me.
I release guilt. I claim freedom.”

I folded the paper, placed it under the candle, and lit the flame. I let it burn while writing three new beliefs:

• I am not my past.
• I am learning and rising.
• I am financially free.

Afterward, I felt lighter. Braver. And the next day, I called my credit provider and negotiated a better payment plan—something I’d been avoiding for months.

Sometimes the magic is finally showing up for yourself.

Believing Again Is the Real Spell

These five spells didn’t turn me into a millionaire overnight. But they did something deeper: they made me believe again. In energy. In possibility. In my own ability to shift things with love, clarity, and ritual.

Magic isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. If something in you feels ready to believe again—even just a little—light a candle. Write the wish. Speak the words.

You never know who’s listening.

Which spell are you most drawn to try first? Or have you had your own moment of magic that restored your belief? I’d love to hear it in the comments—we’re all weaving our own stories of abundance.
