Herbs are not just cooking spices. They have magical properties that can be used in magic rituals for attracting luck and abundance in life, good health, and as a protection against witchcraft and black magic.
In the spiritual world, some herbs have magical value and are part of the “green witch practice”. A Green Witch is a witch whose practice focuses on nature, using natural materials and energies. Green Witches are often skilled herbalists and attuned to the cycles of nature. Many are skilled astrologists.
Here are sixteen herbs to enhance your luck and life:
1. Allspice: It is also known as Jamaica Pepper. It got its name due to its flavor combinations of clove, cinnamon, and pepper. Allspice is used in magic rituals that involve attracting money and luck. It is also an ingredient in love potions and charms. When you burn allspice incense during meditation it helps with inspiration, creativity, and wisdom. It also works on higher planes for good or evil.
2. Basil: This popular herb is considered an all-purpose magical herb. It is used in rituals and spells for prosperity, success, peace, protection, happiness, purification, tranquility, and love. Basil is a powerful herb that can be used to cleanse the aura and promote psychic awareness. When used in spiritual activities, basil can help to clear away negative energy. Basil is a powerful herb that has been used for centuries to ward off evil spirits and negative energy. The strong, pungent aroma of basil is said to be repulsive to evil entities, and the plant is often used in exorcisms and protection rituals.
To make a lucky coin charm, place three fresh basil leaves in a bowl along with a coin. Spread it under the light of the full moon. Keep the coin with you for the next twenty-four hours. This is your lucky coin charm for gambling luck.
3. Bay (Laurel) Leaf: The laurel leaf is associated with success, wisdom, and divination. For centuries, Bay Laurel, also known as Bay leaves, has been used in green witchcraft. Bay leaves have a variety of uses and magical properties that can help you with protection and psychic power enhancement.
To receive the best results for attracting luck using bay leaves, use leaves that you have grown in your home or backyard. Feng Shui tells us that strategically placing a bay laurel plant in your home can provide spiritual benefits as well as boost your luck.
First, if you already happen to have salt or crystals placed around your home for fine-tuning your home’s energetic frequency, a bay laurel plant can make these tools even stronger. Bay laurel, when grown at home can strengthen the energy of any room and helps to balance emotions.
As if the above wasn’t enough, bay leaves can help to heighten your extrasensory abilities, to receive psychic messages, communicate with your spiritual team, and connect to the Universe. You can sleep with a bay leaf under your pillow to receive psychic messages in your dreams.
There are dozens of rituals using a simple laurel leaf. Try this one:
Write your wish on the leaf and then burn it to make it come true. If you have a problem that you cannot find a solution to, put a few pieces of dry laurel leaves under your pillow so that you can have a divine dream. Write your yes and no question on a dry laurel leaf and then burn it with a white candle. When the fire of the burning laurel becomes fiery and it crackles, the answer is “yes”. If the fire dies and does not crackle, the answer is “no”.

7. Caraway: The seed of the caraway plant is good for protection against negative entities and energies around. It also serves as an antidote to thieves and bad intentions. You can plant a caraway plant in front of the house or on the grill of the front door to filter all the negative vibes that enter your home. Caraway protects against a multitude of evil spirits, entities, and negativity. They are also used to encourage fidelity and are placed in sachets and talismans to attract a mate.
One of the more popular beliefs concerning caraway Seeds is that anything that contains a caraway can’t be stolen, so put a pinch of it in a wallet, purse, or car to deter thieves.
As always, romantics want to know if there is a love connection, and the answer is yes. Caraway is used as a love herb. Chewing the seeds before kissing someone is believed to entice them to fall in love with you. Can be used for spells and rituals to ensure a person’s loyalty or even used in foods to ensure the fidelity of a couple. When used in food it is said that Caraway Seed can increase lust in those who ingest it.

When used in proper spells, clove can induce courage and optimism, even in those who usually cower. Add cloves to love potions or simply add them to a meal to awaken the lust inside your partner or strengthen your love. Do this for protection:
Place a saucer of dried clover plant sprouts in the center of the house to filter out all negative energy and vibes. As a protection charm, combine rosemary, angelica, sage, three buds of the clove plant, and a pinch of salt inside a red pouch or cloth tied with red thread or ribbon.

Ingredients
Three Ginger Roots
Ten red rose petals
Dried lavender flowers
A red cloth bag
A cup for tea
A clay bowl
A personal (small) object of the person you wish to bond with
Procedure
Prepare a cup of tea with hot water and previously grated ginger. Slowly taste each sip and concentrate all your thoughts, feelings on your desire.
Drinking the ginger will activate your mental concentration and activate the positive energy circulation within your body. I suggest that you do it every morning when you get up, so you will start the day, sending all your vibrations to the loved one.
Cut the rest of the ginger root into small pieces, mix it with dried lavender in the clay bowl, and leave it for two days drying in the open air where the rays can reach it. You need to do that because the ginger is a fire element, and we need to re-charge it with that energy while it dries. During those three days, you will stir the lavender and ginger mixture so that all the moisture comes out and it dries completely.
After those three days, you will put the mixture in a mortar and proceed to crush it until it becomes a powder. You will keep that ginger powder, one part in a glass jar with a lid, and the other part you will empty next to your beloved’s object.
Inside the red bag, you will have it stored where you can always take it with you. That’s why you need to tie it.
The ginger powder in the jar can be used to spice up your partner’s meals and make tea daily.
Every time you are adding this dried ginger in his/her meals, visualize every desire you have for that person and imagine it coming true.
10. Mint: Boiled mint leaves can treat headaches, help to make food easier, and improve digestion. In magic, it can be used as a money charm.

Anoint your candle with the mint oil
Mix your dried mint with your cinnamon powder. If you’re using cinnamon oil, anoint the candle with it during step 1.

Light your candle
Close your eyes and focus on your intention. Imagine that prosperity and abundance are flowing to you like a golden river. Feel as if you have already received the abundance that you seek. Remember that the more specific your intent, the more likely it is to manifest.

Repeat this chant three times
Allow the candle to safely burn down to nothing
Repeat as often as needed

Parsley as protection started in ancient Rome, where people would place it on their plates to protect their food from contamination. Interestingly, this herb is also associated with fertility. Parsley was said to grow best when sown and cultivated by a pregnant woman.
If you want to provoke lust in a relationship, chew some parsley leaves together. If you want this relationship to last, don’t cut the parsley stems. Wear an amulet close to your skin with dried parsley in it to attract love and fertility into your life.
Parsley is an amazing herb with a variety of magical uses. Here is a list of easy spells and household uses you can try with this powerful plant:
Wrap up a bundle of fresh parsley with red ribbon for a powerful charm that will bring both luck and love into your home.

It builds emotional strength and may help to heal grief. Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) is used for clarity, clairvoyance, psychic abilities, and to induce trance or visionary states.

13. Verbena: This is an all-purpose herb. In medicine, boiled verbena is a medicine for headache, relieves stress, and calms the nerves and muscles. In magic, verbena is for divination, protection, inspiration, abundance, love, peace, tranquility, healing, and prosperity. It’s also considered an antidote to witchcraft. You can make your own verbena oil by soaking crushed verbena leaves in olive oil or grape seed oil. This will be a blessing/protection oil. To ward off negative energy and invite positive vibes into your home, grind some verbena leaves and then throw them in every corner of the house. Verbena leaves are also mixed or added to charm bags or magical pouches to boost any spell or ritual.
In the past, the vervain (Verbena Officinalis) was considered highly effective in love and sexual relationships and said to conquer the heart of the desired person just by touching him or her after rubbing your hands with the juice of this plant. The Romans even called it “Herba Veneris” and believed it could rekindle even the most dormant passions. The banquet halls of the emperor Nero had ivory inlaid ceilings, the panels of which flowed to drop a rain of vervain and other perfumes, to increase the guests’ sensual and sexual satisfaction.
Here’s how to increase passion:
Take a vervain plant, shred it, rub the juice on your left hand, and mark a cross on your forehead. Do the same with your partner and recite the following:
“Catos, let your desire be agreed with mine, like that of St. Joseph with Mary, in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit so be it”.
That’s it. Try it and be prepared for a wonderful evening
14. Moss: Moss is considered a survival plant. This characteristic of moss is why the herb is associated with magic that has to do with perseverance, patience, nurturing, and grounding. In the Native
American culture, moss is seen as a plant that can bring about new beginnings and can cleanse and purify the soul. The herb is also a symbol of fertility, growth, and abundance.
Not too different from the Native American culture, the Celtic culture associated moss with new beginnings because it was the first plant to grow after fire or any natural disaster. They too agreed that the plant represented fertility and abundance (so much can grow in one area if left to nature and it is the first to grow)
Spanish moss, also called Old Man’s Beard and Pele’s Hair, has many magical uses and properties. In Hoodoo, Spanish moss is used in love and revenge workings. Most often it’s stuffed in doll babies (poppets) with other herbs and ingredients to either draw love or exact revenge. It’s also put in bottles of War water (a nasty potion used to take down one’s enemy). Therefore, Spanish moss magic properties include love, healing, and revenge/justice in the Hoodoo tradition.
