• Lodestones allegedly draw life's riches towards you, as does the root charm HighJohn the Conqueror.

Shopping Bag Full of Cash

1. Cut a square from a brown paper bag. Write the exact amount you need in thecenter.

2. Dress a green candle with essential oils of basil and bergamot.

3. If you're so inclined, petition the spiritual power of your choice to rescue youfrom your dire predicament.

Place the paper under the candle. Burn the candle daily for fifteen minutes at atime while petitioning, praying, and affirming your request until the specifiedamount is accumulated.

Shi Shi Oil

An old Hoodoo formulation, Shi Shi Oil has earned a reputation for puttingpoverty on the run and attracting wealth to the wearer—fast!

Shi Shi's basic formula is a blend of angelica root, bay leaves, and cloves. Youmay use either dried botanicals or essential oils.

1. If using dried herbs, grind them together using a mortar and pestle.

2. Add one tablespoon of the resulting powder to one ounce of jojoba oil, or addfour drops of each essential oil to an ounce of jojoba. If you've used driedherbs, it may be necessary to shake vigorously to distribute them throughout theoil. If you've used essential oils, gently roll the sealed bottle to blend them.

• Rub Shi Shi Oil into your hair and onto the palms of your hands.

• Add it to your bath for extra intensity: Light a green candle and visualizeyourself prosperous, secure, and happy.

• Essential oil of clove can really irritate your skin. You may need to dilute theblend further by increasing the quantity of jojoba oil. Essential oil ofangelica is a photosensitizer; avoid contact with direct light for 12 hoursafter its use.
