Clear the room. Shake the Van Van Spray, then lightly mist the room, doorway, and windows. Speak plainly about what you are removing and what you are inviting in: clear roads, sound decisions, good luck, love, protection, and opportunity.
Write your petition. On a small piece of paper, write your name and the result you are calling in. Keep it direct and specific, such as a new job, stronger sales, successful travel, a fresh start, or the removal of a particular obstacle. Place the petition paper under your candle.
Dress your Candle. Poke 2 or 3 small holes down into the wax in your candle and drip 2 drops of Van Van Oil in each hole.
Build the altar. Place the petition beneath the Citrine Crystal Candle and set the large citrine point beside it.
Focus Your Intention. Focus your energy and intentions on the candle, you can also place your hands on or around the candle. Light the candle. Pray or speak from the heart for obstacles to be cleared, doors to open, and the right opportunities to recognize and meet you. Light the candle. Sit with the flame for a few minutes while picturing steady, practical movement toward your goal.
Carry the work forward. Apply the Van Van Oil Roller lightly to your pulse points before taking real-world action connected to the petition. Send the application, make the call, open the shop, attend the meeting, or take the next clear step. When the spell candle is burned out, you can carry the citrine with you or place it in your meditation space to carry the energy with you.

Safety: External use only. Patch test soap and oils before full use, avoid eyes and sensitive areas, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Use sprays with care around people, pets, and delicate surfaces. Always place the candle on a stable, heat-safe surface and never leave it burning unattended.

Lucky Horseshoe - Canadian sourced

(0)

$16.99

Horseshoes have long been regarded as powerful symbols of luck, protection, and prosperity across many magical traditions. Traditionally made from iron—a metal historically believed to repel harmful spirits and negativity—horseshoes have been used for centuries in witchcraft, Hoodoo, folk magic, and European protective practices. Hung above doorways, incorporated into spell work, or kept on altars, they are believed to attract blessings while guarding the home from unwanted energy.

The crescent shape of the horseshoe is also symbolically connected to the moon, fertility, and abundance. In many traditions, an upward-facing horseshoe is said to “hold” luck and blessings, while a downward-facing horseshoe may be used to pour blessings and protection onto those who enter beneath it.

Sourced: These are used, iron horseshoes pulled from a variety of horses in Western Canada. Each one is unique and different, and they come from all sorts of different horses. The shoes are in varying in sizes, thicknesses, shapes, and wear patterns. Each shoe is custom shaped for a horses foot, and is usually worn for 6 weeks before it is replaced. Some shoes have a large amount of wear on them, others have less.

Magical Uses of Horseshoes:

Protection against negativity and harmful energy
Attracting luck, prosperity, and abundance
Guarding homes, businesses, and sacred spaces
Strengthening road opening and success work
Used in protection jars, altars, and folk charms

Traditional Ways to Use Horseshoes in Spell Work:

Protection for the Home:
Hang a horseshoe above your front door with the ends facing upward to collect and hold protective energy and good fortune within the home.

Prosperity & Business Luck:
Place a horseshoe near cash registers, business entrances, or prosperity altars alongside coins, cinnamon, or green candles to attract financial growth and opportunity.

Road Opening & Success Work:
Use a horseshoe in road opening rituals by placing written intentions or petitions beneath it during candle work to symbolize clearing obstacles and inviting progress.

Witch Bottles & Protection Jars:
Small horseshoe nails or iron fragments are often added to protection jars or folk charms for grounding and defensive energy.

Moon & Fertility Magic:
Because of its crescent shape, some practitioners incorporate horseshoes into lunar rituals, fertility work, or abundance altars connected to divine feminine energy.

Historical & Folk Beliefs:
Horseshoes have appeared in magical folklore for centuries throughout Europe and North America. Iron was widely believed to repel spirits and curses, and blacksmiths themselves were once considered to possess mystical power due to their mastery of fire and metal. In many folk traditions, finding or receiving a horseshoe was considered an especially fortunate omen.

How to Bless and anoint your Horseshoe:

First, cleanse your horseshoe to get rid of any residual energy with Rue & Sage, or wash with a bath made with Espante Muerte, Rue and/or Hyssop. You can do both. Let dry and anoint your horseshoe with Van Van Oil or Rue Oil. Van Van is a traditional formula for Luck, Love and Protection. Rue provides deep cleansing, protection and spiritual boundaries, while drawing luck and blessings.

Money Magic - Getting paid What You're Worth

More money is a common need this day and age. In the midst of a recession, all of us feel the need and desire to attract financial wellness into our lives. What To Expect Throughout This Blog Post? Common ways we energetically block the flow of money: With our words With our Habits With our outdated beliefs Spells we can use to help us attract money: Increase Tips With The Jezebel Root Body Altar Spell Money Magnet Mandrake Root Poppet Van Van Bad Money Luck Candle Reversal Spell and finishing up with some tips to help us move through the challenges we may face from this spell work. Stop Blocking your magic Our Words Are Spells One common way we tend to block our magic is with our speech. Around others who are struggling or in a recession, there tends to be a lot of talk about being poor or not being able to afford much. Every time you say or think “I can’t afford that” or “that’s too expensive” we unintentionally block prosperity from entering our lives. Joking around at our own expense or joking about how poor we are also blocks the flow of prosperity. As does complaining or venting about our financial struggles. I’m not saying don’t complain, because it’s necessary to get rid of that tension and anxiety, but back it up with something positive after. The trick is training our brains to think in an abundance mindset instead of a scarcity mindset. When you catch yourself saying “I’m too poor for that” switch it up asap with “In the future I’ll be able to afford that” or "That's not for me at this time". When you’re complaining about money or joking around end it with something along the lines of "but it will get better, this is only my current reality". Everything changes, and you doing this work will guarantee that. Bad Money Habits Another common way we block the flow of prosperity is with our habits. There is a big difference between being frugal and being stingy. This comes from a place of privilege, but spending small amounts of money on things that make us happy or small acts of charity help the flow of prosperity. I look at prosperity like a current of water, if there are ebbs and flows then there’s movement but if there is none then your water becomes stagnant. Next time you have to spend money look at it as an opportunity to help grow your prosperity mindset. When you spend that money you can include an affirmation like “I pay this bill knowing that money will flow back into my life and my wallet.” Back it up when you do receive money with a phrase like "This is proof that the flow of prosperity in my life is balanced". I like to buy myself something inexpensive once a week/month, usually a bar of dark chocolate. I feel luxurious when I am eating the chocolate and it allows me to be grateful that I can spend well deserved money on myself. I also will give the loose change in my pockets or in my car to buskers or those who are less fortunate than myself. I give this money knowing that it will help prosperity flow easier into my life. On the other hand Impulse spending is equally blocking you from prosperity. It can demonstrate a lack of respect towards money, that it’s meaningless and therefor not worth holding onto. If you’re constantly spending money on things that hold no significant value to you, why would additional prosperity enter into your life? Question your Beliefs I grew up hearing “Money doesn’t grow on trees”, “I’m not made of money”, and “we can’t afford that”. Therefor when it was my time to build a relationship with money I believed it was difficult to come by and I had to work really hard to gain it. I was afraid to spend my money out of fear that none would come to take its place. In contrast an important person in my life grew up never seeing their parent because they were always working. They inadvertently blamed money for the lack of a parental figure in their childhood. They hated money, never wanted it because they believed it would always corrupt and keep you from what you loved. These are the hard truths we have to look at when doing prosperity work. These beliefs have to be questioned and healed, otherwise, no matter how much money you attain it will only ever be temporary. When working on our relationship to money we have to look into our ancestral trauma, the relationship our parents had with money, how they spent it, their beliefs, etc. We have to look at our mindset and our self-worth. Do we believe that we are worthy of money? That there is enough to go around? That we are not as deserving as those who are struggling? These are the hard questions we have to ask ourselves if we want to heal our relationship with money. This is the work we have to do if we want to create lasting prosperity in our lives. I’m not saying you have to do all of the above, and I am aware it can come off as privileged. My intent is to offer you insight into my own journey when I began working with my relationship with money. All I ask is that you take whatever resonates with you and forget the rest. This is only one perspective. My perspective. Money Spells For Increased Wages Increase Tips With The Jezebel Root Body Altar Spell A powerful spell for service workers or freelancers, Jezebel root is known to attract wealthy customers. This root has been used in Hoodoo for harnessing your inner bad bitch. A symbol of female power, this root bolsters confidence and attractiveness so they can dominate. Requiring only 2 ingredients: Cleo Mae Soap Cleo Mae conjure oil This spell can be performed anywhere with a mirror and a sink. We encourage you to carry the ingredients with you when you are working so you can recharge the magic several times throughout your shift. To begin this spell rinse your hands, cleansing them of unwanted energy. For an added bonus you can use a salt scrub to boost the cleansing effect. Wash your hands with Cleo Mae Soap. While washing your hands repeat “I am wealth, my hands bring in the money that will support my life". For extra power, use an original intention of your own creation. While washing your hands feel your hands grow warm and magnetic. Feel the flow of energy entering your finger tips. Visualize yourself handling big tips, serving wealthy customers. Visualize yourself offering perfect service. Visualize the end of your shift, counting your tips with a specific number in your minds eye that you will walk away with. Next anoint your body with the Cleo Mae conjure oil. While making eye contact with yourself in the mirror anoint your third eye and repeat out loud “My visualizations of wealth will become my reality”. Anoint your throat and repeat out loud “My words are honey, I speak my wealth into existence”. Anoint your heart centre and repeat out loud “The wealth that I attract into my life is aligned with my needs”. Take 3 full, deep breaths and feel yourself attracting money. Feel the energy flowing in and around your body be flavoured with prosperity and abundance. Walk into your place of work with the confidence knowing your customers are generous and will tip you well. Money Magnet Mandrake Root Poppet If you like to keep your spell close, a pocket sized poppet may be for you. You can bring this poppet to job interviews, meetings, to the bank, and to any opportunity where money is involved. This spell requires 3 ingredients: A Whole Mandrake Root Mandrake Root Conjure Oil A $5 bill The human shape of the root makes it well suited for use as a poppet. Choose the mandrake root that most resembles a doll. Cleanse the root by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take your mandrake root oil and while anointing the root whisper your intentions into it. Be specific and intentional. If you are looking for a specific sum of money make sure to include that. Take your $5 bill and anoint that with mandrake root oil as well. To activate a dried mandrake, place it on the altar undisturbed for 3 days. Place it on top if the $5 bill like it’s laying on a bed of cash. After 3 days place it in warm water overnight. The root will the be activated and ready for your magickal purpose. Hoodoo traditions recommend wrapping a whole mandrake root in the $5 bill and carrying it in your pocket for financial fortune. Van Van Bad Money Luck Candle Reversal Spell A reliable spell you can count on when you are experiencing a bout of bad money luck. What does Van Van Oil do: Change bad luck into good. Draw success into your life. Protect from negativity, unwanted spirits, and undesirable people. Remove obstacles and blocks. It’s important to note that if your bad money luck stems from beliefs and negative thoughts/speech this spell will challenge you to move through those blocks. This often looks like opportunities to change your thought patterns. After this spell is complete it’s important to pay attention to the flow of money in your life. When a challenge is encountered it is an opportunity to shift your mindset in order to heal your trauma around money. Examples include noticing your speech around money and if it needs altering, New opportunities that challenge your beliefs around self-worth, being forced to update or invest in the areas of your life you’ve been neglecting in order to penny pinch, etc. This spell Requires: A yellow candle or Van Van Candle Van Van Conjure oil Lemon Balm Herb A Knife To begin cleanse your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take your knife and chop off the pointed end with the wick so that it can sit flat. Turn the candle upside down and carve a point on that end. The symbolic act of physically turning our candle upside down and using that end for our reversal spell is a powerful one. When your reverse candle is carved begin to dress it with the Van Van Conjure oil. Next roll it away from you through the lemon balm. Check out our guide to dress your candles for tips and tricks. While you're dressing your candle keep your intention in mind. Be mindful not to stuff it with energy. When we’re removing things out of our lives we want the candle to be empty so that it can suck and store up that unwanted energy and burn it away. Burn your candle until it’s out. It’s okay to relight it everyday until it’s complete. While your candle is burning journal about your money blocks, your relationship with money, how you felt about money that day. Be sure to dispose of your candle in the proper way. Money magic is powerful and often required. When performing money magic it’s important to evaluate how the magic reacts in your life post spell. Does it stick around and last or do you find yourself having to perform money spell after money spell and it never seems to stick. If it doesn’t seem to stick more often than not your money issues could be rooted in childhood beliefs that require healing. This work is referred to as shadow work and should be treated with gentleness and love. It can be healed, but it takes work and determination. The way through is by identifying the capital T truths about your beliefs around money. For instance I grew up learning from my parents that you had to work REALLY hard to get a scrap of money. If money was flowing easily into my life I would often sabotage myself because I wasn’t worthy of it. Without me knowing of course. Once I identified that belief over time I was able to shift my mindset. It took a lot of work, determination and faith, but the pay off has been worth it. May you be blessed with all the money you need.

Yule & Winter Solstice Rituals

In the northern hemisphere the winter solstice, or Yule, occurs annually on December 21 or 22. This celebration is one of the eight sabbats celebrated in the year of the wheel. This day celebrates the shortest day of the year. Yule celebrates the Winter Solstice. Imbolc or Candlemas celebrates the first signs of spring. Ostara celebrates the Spring Equinox. Beltane celebrates May Day. Litha celebrates the Summer Solstice. Lughnasadh or Lammas celebrates the start of the harvest season Mabon celebrates the Autumn Equinox Samhain celebrates Halloween This time of year offers us a quiet time before the awakening of the earth. The perfect opportunity for spiritual cleansing, deep reflection and self-assessment. The new year celebrates a new chance. To try it all over again. New beginnings. New opportunities. Therefore, if you have big plans for the following year it’s important to do some pruning and release work to make space for your intentions to flourish. Before we can release we have to identify what is no longer working for us. Use the following 5 card tarot spread to reflect on yourself and how you can better show up in 2023. Card 1: What was my overall emotional state this past year? Card 2: What emotional baggage am I ready to let go of? Card 3: How can I clear emotional space to make room for new opportunities? Card 4: What do I want to bring in to the new year? Card 5: How am I going to go about doing that? I highly recommend journaling along side this tarot spread. It’ll offer you the opportunity to dissect your readings, offering deeper insight. If you’re lucky it could lead you to the root of your habits/beliefs you want to transform. Cleansing & Transforming your baggage Take note of if you want to clear the space for new growth or if you want to transform something that already exists into something new. It is important to make this distinction. If you want to rid yourself of some baggage a fire burning ceremony or a cord cutting ritual may be what you need. This offers you the opportunity to burn everything to the ground and create new growth out of the fertile ashes of what once was. Check out our Cord Cutting Ritual To Embrace Your True Self to learn how to perform a cord cutting ritual and alter it for your magical needs. Working with fire is particularly special on the winter solstice/Yule. It is common practice to use fire as a way to welcome back the light into the northern hemisphere. Bonfires, lighting candles, and Yule logs are excellent ways to celebrate this occasion. If fire is what you’re leaning towards you can take this opportunity to write down that which you want to release out of your life onto paper and throw it into the fire. As you watch the paper ignite and burn feel what you want to release burning out of your life. If you feel that transformation is more appropriate I recommend performing a ritual bath or a tea ceremony for cleansing and transformation. For a ritual bath use oils that promote cleansing and transformation. I recommend Van Van oil and/or Van Van soap. You can light a magically dressed snake candle for transformation. In your bath visualize all that you wish to transform leaking out of your pores and into the water. Feel it become cleansed and remade. Feel it being reabsorbed into your body. When you are finish step out of your tub and allow yourself to air dry. As the water evaporates into air feel all that inside of you transforming into something new and clean. For your tea ceremony I recommend our Midwinter Magical Tea or our Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Tea which are perfect for deep reflection and transformation. Check out our Tea Ceremony For Conscious Communication to learn how to perform a tea ceremony and alter it for your magical needs. What To Expect from “Shadow Work” Often times when you release something from your life the universe will send you tests to see if it’s really what you want. Don’t be surprised if that part of you becomes irritated or overly sensitive. Look at it like opportunities to say no to that which you are trying to change or rid yourself of. This type of work can be considered “Shadow Work” and should be handled with care. My favourite analogy from a friend of mine has referred to it as “becoming the goo”. A caterpillar, when it cocoons itself liquifies its body so it can rebuild itself and emerge into a beautiful butterfly or moth. Just like the caterpillar the only way to move through the tough times and transform into a better version of ourselves is to become the goo. We have to feel our feelings, we have to come to terms with them and integrate them into the new versions of ourselves. This part is HARD. Seek help if it’s too big for you. Lean on your friends and family. Ask for help. I assure you, you are not a burden to your loved ones. They will welcome the opportunity to strengthen your relationship through this vulnerability. If you’re dealing with trauma please seek a qualified therapists. Please don’t do this alone. You deserve to experience a higher quality of life. Work with the seasons to propel you through the natural cycle of life. Our inner states often mirror the natural world. If we work with the world around us your magic will be amplified. You will receive your desired effects with less resistance. Harness the energy of spring by starting new projects, reinventing yourself, creating new opportunities. During summer step into your best self. Work hard and play hard. Manifest, manifest, manifest. Reap your rewards in the fall. Collect your harvest. Use winters energy to re-assess, reflect and plan for the following cycle. Wishing you a successful winter solstice and yuletide blessings.
