3 Easy Holiday Spells for Love & Money (Works In Just One Day!)

As the air grows crisp and festive lights begin to twinkle, a special kind of energy awakens in the world, just waiting for you to tap into it.

Unwrap Your Inner Witch This Holiday Season

Have you ever felt that extra spark in the air during the holidays? That cozy, hopeful feeling isn’t just nostalgia—it’s pure, potent energy. The holiday season, especially the period surrounding the Winter Solstice and the pagan sabbat of Yule, is one of the most powerful times of the year for setting intentions, performing rituals, and manifesting your deepest desires. This guide will show you how to channel that festive spirit into simple, effective magic, even if you’ve never cast a spell in your life.

Tapping into the Season’s Power: Yule and the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. For centuries, cultures have celebrated this celestial event as a time of rebirth and renewal. From this point forward, the sun’s light begins to return, and the days grow longer. This powerful symbolism of light conquering darkness makes it the perfect time for:

• Manifestation: Just as the sun is reborn, you can plant the seeds for what you want to grow in your life in the coming year.
• Ritual: The focused energy of the season amplifies any ritual work, making it a prime time for setting intentions for love, prosperity, and personal growth.

Kitchen Witchcraft: Your Magical Toolkit is Already at Home

Getting started with Beginner Witchcraft doesn’t require a shopping spree at a mystical supply store. In fact, you probably have everything you need right in your kitchen cabinets and holiday decoration boxes. This practice, often called "kitchen witchery," uses the inherent magical properties of common household items.

Think about it:

• Cinnamon for warmth, love, and success (perfect in holiday baking!)
• Evergreen branches for protection and prosperity
• Candles for focus, intention, and calling in light
• Oranges and cloves for happiness and abundance

The magic isn’t in the fancy tool; it’s in how you use the simple things around you.

The Heart of the Spell: Mastering Your Intention

Here’s the most important secret to any successful spell: it’s not the words you chant or the items you use that hold the real power. It’s your Intention Setting. Your intention is the focused will, the clear desire, and the emotional energy you pour into your ritual. It’s the difference between just lighting a candle and performing powerful Holiday Magic.

Before you begin any spell, take a moment to get crystal clear on what you want to achieve. Visualize the outcome, feel the emotions of having already received it, and hold that energy as you perform your ritual. Your intention is the magical ingredient that activates everything else.

Let’s begin by warming our hearts and inviting in a little romance with a simple and sweet attraction spell.

As the festive season fills the air with a unique kind of magic, it’s the perfect time to channel that energy toward matters of the heart.

Let a Little Sweetness & Spice Guide Love Your Way

The holidays are a time of warmth, connection, and sweetness—qualities we often seek in a romantic partner. This simple and gentle attraction spell uses common household ingredients to help draw that same warm and loving energy into your life. It’s not about manipulating anyone, but rather about making yourself a beacon for the kind of love you desire.

The Magic in Your Kitchen Pantry

Before we begin, let’s explore the two key ingredients for this ritual. You likely already have them at home, and their magical properties have been celebrated for centuries.

• Cinnamon: This warm, fragrant spice is a powerhouse in the magical world. It’s known for speeding things up, adding a fiery kick of passion, and promoting success and love. Think of it as the catalyst that gets the energy moving.
• Honey: Sweet, sticky, and golden, honey is the great attractor. Its purpose is to sweeten situations and people toward you, encouraging affection, commitment, and irresistible charm. It binds the spell together with its gentle, loving energy.

Here’s a quick look at the magical correspondences for this ritual:

Ingredient	Magical Correspondence
Cinnamon	Passion, Speed, Success, Love, Warmth
Honey	Attraction, Sweetness, Affection, Binding
Red Candle	Passion, Lust, Courage, Romance
Pink Candle	Self-Love, Friendship, Sweet Romance, Affection

Gather Your Simple Household Items

No need to visit a specialty store! This ritual is designed to be accessible for everyone. Here is what you will need:

• A small red or pink candle (red for fiery passion, pink for sweet, romantic love)
• A small dish of honey
• A small dish of ground cinnamon
• A small piece of paper and a pen
• A fire-safe dish or candle holder
• A lighter or matches

The Sweet Cinnamon Attraction Ritual: A How-To Guide

Follow these simple steps to perform your first holiday love spell. Remember, the most important ingredient is your own belief and intention.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Space and Center Your Energy

Before beginning any ritual, it’s important to create a calm, focused atmosphere. You can do this by tidying up the area where you’ll be working. Then, take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes and imagine a warm, loving light surrounding you. Let go of the day’s stress and focus on the present moment. This simple act prepares your mind and your space for magic.

Step 2: Focus on Clear Intention Setting

Take your small piece of paper and pen. Think carefully about what you truly desire in a relationship. Is it warmth, laughter, loyalty, or passion? Be specific and positive. Write down these qualities or a simple statement of your desire. For example: "I attract a loving, kind, and passionate partner into my life." Fold the paper a few times and place it under your fire-safe candle holder.

Step 3: Anoint the Candle

This is where you charge the candle with your specific intention. Hold the candle in your hands and feel your desire for love. Dip your finger into the honey and gently anoint the candle, starting from the middle and rubbing upward to the wick, then from the middle downward to the base. As you do this, visualize drawing love to you. Next, roll the honey-coated candle in the ground cinnamon until it has a light, even coating. The candle is now charged with your energy and intent.

Step 4: Light the Candle and Visualize

Place the anointed candle securely in its holder on top of the paper. Safely light the wick. As the flame grows, gaze into it and visualize your desired outcome. Imagine yourself happy, loved, and in the relationship you described on your paper. Feel the warmth of the cinnamon and the sweetness of the honey radiating out into the universe. Allow the candle to burn down completely in its fire-safe dish. Your love spell is now complete and on its way.

With your heart now open to receiving warmth and affection, let’s shift our focus to attracting another kind of comforting energy: prosperity.

Just as the right spices can sweeten a budding romance, other common household herbs can help sweeten your financial situation.

From Your Spice Rack to Your Wallet: The Bay Leaf Prosperity Bowl

Have you ever looked at your spice rack and seen a toolkit for magic? You should! Simple, everyday items hold powerful energy, and when it comes to financial manifestation, few are as historically potent as the humble bay leaf. This ancient herb has long been associated with success, victory, and prosperity.

This simple ritual combines the power of bay leaves with other symbols of abundance to create a beautiful and effective money bowl. It’s a wonderful piece of prosperity magic that helps focus your intention and draw financial opportunities toward you.

Gather Your Tools for Abundance

The best part about this spell is that you likely have everything you need right in your kitchen. There’s no need for fancy or expensive tools; the power comes from your intention.

• A Small Bowl: Any bowl you find beautiful will work. Ceramic, wood, or glass are all great choices.
• Rice: Uncooked rice (any kind) will form the base of your bowl.
• Dried Bay Leaves: You’ll need at least 3-5 whole, unbroken leaves.
• A Few Coins: Choose shiny coins of any denomination. Some people like to use coins from different countries to symbolize money flowing from all directions.
• A Green or White Candle: Green is the color of money and growth, while white is a universal color that can be used for any intention. A small tea light or chime candle is perfect.

Creating Your Prosperity Bowl: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these simple steps to assemble and activate your personal money bowl. Remember to stay focused on your goal throughout the process.

Step 1: Build Your Foundation of Abundance

First, fill your chosen bowl about halfway with uncooked rice. As you pour the rice, visualize it as a magnet for wealth. Rice is a powerful symbol across many cultures for sustenance, stability, and abundance. By creating this base, you are building a stable foundation for your prosperity to grow upon. Gently smooth the surface of the rice.

Step 2: Perform Powerful Intention Setting

Next, take your bay leaves. Using a pen or marker, write your financial goals or wishes directly onto the leaves. Be specific and positive. Instead of writing "I want to be out of debt," write something like "I attract financial freedom" or "Money flows to me easily and frequently."

Examples of Intentions:

• A specific amount for a specific purpose (e.g., "$500 for car repairs")
• Positive affirmations (e.g., "I am a magnet for prosperity")
• Goals (e.g., "New job opportunity")

As you write on each leaf, pour your energy and belief into the words. When you’re done, gently push the leaves into the rice so they stand upright.

Step 3: Activate with Coins and Candle Magic

Now, add your coins to the bowl. Place them on top of the rice, around the bay leaves. As you place each coin, state your intention aloud. You might say, "Like these coins, wealth multiplies in my life."

Once your bowl is assembled, place your green or white candle next to it (not inside it, for safety). Light the candle and take a few moments to meditate. Gaze into the flame and visualize your financial goals coming to fruition. Imagine the candle’s energy flowing into the bowl, activating the rice, leaves, and coins with its power. Let the candle burn down completely in a safe place.

Step 4: Placement and Upkeep

The final step is finding the right home for your money bowl. For maximum effect, place it in one of these areas:

• Your Home Office or Workspace: To attract career opportunities and financial success.
• The Southeast Corner of Your Home: In Feng Shui, this is the "wealth corner."
• Near Your Front Door: To invite prosperity to enter your home.

To keep the energy active, you can periodically stir the rice, add a new coin, or light a new candle beside it, especially during a new or full moon.

Now that you’ve set your intentions to draw wealth in, it’s equally important to protect the abundance you create.

After calling in quick prosperity with a simple money spell, let’s shift our focus to safeguarding those blessings and paving the way for a truly abundant year ahead.

Your Sweet Shield: A New Year’s Eve Ritual for Protection and Abundance

New Year’s Eve isn’t just for countdowns and celebrations; it’s a powerful moment when the veil between the old and new feels thin, making it the perfect time for a bit of Holiday Magic. As one year closes and another begins, this transitional period offers a unique opportunity to release anything that no longer serves you and to set strong intentions for protection and abundance in the coming twelve months. Think of it as hitting the reset button on your energetic space, preparing it to welcome all the wonderful blessings headed your way.

The Dual Power of Salt & Sugar for Your New Year Spell

This ritual harnesses the incredible, yet often overlooked, power of everyday household items. We’re combining two kitchen staples for a truly potent Protection Spell and Prosperity Magic working:

• Salt: Known across cultures for its purifying and protective properties, salt acts as a barrier against negativity. It cleanses spaces, banishes unwanted energies, and creates a boundary to keep bad vibes out. In this spell, it’s your spiritual guard dog!
• Sugar: Sweet, attractive, and joyful, sugar is the perfect complement to salt’s protective qualities. It draws in sweetness, happiness, good fortune, and prosperity. Where salt pushes away, sugar pulls in, ensuring your protected space is also filled with blessings.

Together, they create a balanced energy, ensuring that while you’re protected from the sour, you’re also inviting in the sweet!

Gather Your Simple Spell Ingredients

One of the beautiful things about this jar spell is how accessible it is. You likely have everything you need right in your kitchen!

• A small jar with a lid: Glass is ideal so you can see the layers and the magic within. A clean jam jar or spice jar works perfectly.
• Salt: Any common table salt will do.
• Sugar: White granulated sugar is best for its pure, attracting energy.
• Whole Cloves: These little spice powerhouses are more than just fragrant; they’re mighty symbols in spellwork.

To give you a clearer idea of each item’s role, here’s a quick reference table:

Item	Purpose in Spell	Symbolism
Small Jar with Lid	Contains and seals the magic	Holding intentions, home, sacred space
Salt	Cleansing & Protection	Banishes negativity, purification, warding off evil
Sugar	Attraction & Sweetness	Draws in good fortune, joy, prosperity
Whole Cloves	Protection & Prosperity	Warding off gossip, attracting wealth, enhancing power

Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Protective & Abundant New Year

This simple yet potent ritual is perfect for New Year’s Eve, but you can perform it anytime you feel the need for an energetic refresh and a boost of good fortune.

Step 1: Layering Your Intentions (Salt & Sugar)

Hold your empty jar and take a moment to clear your mind. Focus your intention. What do you want to protect? What sweetness do you wish to attract?

• Start by carefully pouring a layer of Salt into the bottom of your jar. As you do, visualize it creating a protective shield around your home and your life. Imagine it banishing all negativity, bad luck, and unwanted energies from the past year.
• Next, pour a layer of sugar on top of the salt. As the sugar falls, visualize it attracting all the good things you desire: love, joy, abundance, prosperity, good health, and sweet moments throughout the coming year.
• Continue layering, alternating salt and sugar, focusing your intention with each addition. You might create three layers of each, or more, depending on your jar size. The visual contrast of the white layers is quite beautiful.

Step 2: Adding Cloves for Extra Power

Once your salt and sugar layers are complete, gently add a few whole cloves (around 5-7 is a good number) on top.

• As you place each clove, think of it as a tiny, powerful sigil. Cloves are traditionally used in spellwork for both strong protection (especially against gossip and ill-wishing) and for drawing in prosperity and wealth. They enhance the overall power of your jar, ensuring your blessings are both secure and plentiful.

Step 3: Sealing Your Manifestation

Once all your ingredients are in, place the lid tightly on your jar. Hold the jar in your hands, feeling the energy contained within. Now, it’s time to speak your intention aloud. You can say something like:

"With salt to protect and sugar to attract,
All good things flow in, no turning back.
Cloves empower, my intentions are clear,
Sweet protection and abundance fill my year!"

Feel free to adapt this or use your own words, spoken from the heart, to make your manifestation truly personal.

Step 4: Placing Your Guardian Jar

The final step is to place your jar where it can do its best work.

• Position the jar near your front door, either inside or just outside (if protected from the elements). This strategic placement ensures it acts as a gatekeeper, guarding your home from unwanted energies while welcoming good fortune, sweetness, and blessings through your threshold all year long.

As this potent protection takes root, you’re now perfectly poised to delve deeper and embrace your own power, continuing your holiday magic journey with confidence.

Having crafted your Protection Spells for the New Year with the powerful Salt & Sugar Abundance Jar, you’ve already taken significant steps in harnessing positive energy for the times ahead.

Ignite Your Inner Alchemist: Carrying Your Magic Forward

Your Inner Spark: The True Source of Magic

As we move from creating specific protective wards and abundance jars, it’s vital to pause and reflect on the true power source behind these enchanting practices. Whether you were focusing on protection, drawing in abundance, or simply setting clear intentions for your year, the magic wasn’t solely in the salt, sugar, or herbs – it was in you. Effective witchcraft, at its heart, is fueled by your personal belief and the focused clarity of your Intention Setting. Every stirring of the ingredients, every whispered wish, amplified your will into the world. You’ve now experienced just how accessible and potent this personal power can be, making these simple rituals incredibly effective.

Personalizing Your Practice: Intuition as Your Guide

Now that you’ve experienced the simple yet profound power of these initial rituals, the real journey begins: making your magic truly your own. Trust your intuition above all else. The beauty of these practices is their flexibility. Don’t feel bound by exact recipes; if you don’t have a specific herb, think about its energetic properties and what you do have that could offer a similar vibe.

For example, if a spell calls for rosemary for protection, but you only have thyme, consider thyme’s cleansing properties and trust your gut. Your personal connection to an item imbues it with energy far more potent than any fixed instruction. Your personal touch, guided by your inner wisdom, is the most powerful magical tool you possess.

Everyday Magic: Items You Already Own

You’d be amazed at the magical potential hidden in plain sight. Here are just a few ideas for adapting spells using other herbs or household items you have on hand:

• Salt: A universal cleanser, protector, and grounding agent. Any type of salt (table, sea, Epsom) works wonders.
• Sugar: Attracts sweetness, love, prosperity, and joy.
• Bay Leaves: Perfect for wishes, manifestation, protection, and success. Write your intention on a leaf and burn it safely.
• Cinnamon: Known for speeding up results, attracting prosperity, igniting passion, and offering protection.
• Coffee Grounds: Excellent for dispelling negativity, grounding, and boosting energy or intentions.
• Rice: Symbolizes abundance, fertility, protection, and good luck. Often used in money spells.
• Water: The ultimate cleanser, intuitive enhancer, and emotional healer. Charge it with intentions.
• Candles: Different colors can represent various intentions (e.g., green for prosperity, pink for love, white for all purposes).

Remember, the intention you pour into these items is what activates their magic.

A Year of Blessings: Looking Ahead

As the holiday season unfolds and a new year beckons, may your journey be blessed with profound love, overflowing prosperity, and unwavering protection. May your intentions manifest beautifully, bringing joy and fulfillment into every corner of your life. Trust in your inner power; you are the magic.

A Crucial Note on Candle Safety

Finally, as you continue to explore the wonderfully illuminating world of Candle Magic, please always prioritize safety. Never, under any circumstances, leave a burning candle unattended. Ensure candles are placed on stable, heat-resistant surfaces, away from flammable materials, pets, and children. Your safety is paramount to your magical practice.

May your path ahead be illuminated with joy and powerful manifestations, guiding you toward even deeper insights into your personal magic.

You’ve now learned how simple and accessible Holiday Magic can be, empowering yourself with three distinct yet easy spells for love, money, and protection. Remember, the true essence of effective witchcraft isn’t in rare ingredients or elaborate tools, but in your personal belief and the focused power of your Intention Setting. We encourage you to trust your intuition, adapt these rituals, and explore other herbs or household items that resonate with you.

As you continue your journey, may your holidays be filled with love, your new year with prosperity, and your home with profound protection. Above all, always practice Candle Magic safely: never leave a burning candle unattended. Embrace your power, and let the magic of the season illuminate your path!
