Money magick taps into nature’s generous and regenerative vibrations, to manifest wealth, abundance, and success. It’s an ancient art, and there are many, many paths to follow. One is spellwork, using herbs and spices.

Among the many herbs revered for their prosperity-enhancing properties, basil holds a prominent place. Basil has long been associated with wealth, protection, and good fortune. Its common name is derived from the Greek “basilikon” which means ‘Kingly Herb’, hence many people refer to basil as the “king of herbs”.

Whether used in cooking as an everyday energy enhancer or formally incorporated into a spell, basil’s rich history and strong correspondences make it a favourite among practitioners seeking financial blessings.

Why Basil works in money magick

Basil’s potent involvement in money magick comes from its rich symbolic associations and powerful energetic properties.

Basil is associated with Mars, the planet of action and motivation, and carries a focused, decisive and sometimes fiery focused energy. This makes basil especially effective for spells that require proactive and confident effort to achieve financial goals, such as landing a new job or launching a business venture.

Historically, basil has long been regarded as a plant of prosperity and protection. In ancient Rome and Greece, basil was believed to bring good luck to merchants, and traders often carried basil to ensure profitable transactions.

In Hindu culture, basil (known as Tulsi) is sacred and used to bless homes and attract divine abundance (which elevates this herb from the ego desires and FOMO attitude of some modern money seekers). In European folk magick, basil was often sprinkled around doorways or planted near homes to attract wealth and ward off poverty.

Beyond its prosperity symbolism, basil has a sweet, uplifting aroma that helps raise vibrations and enhance focus during magickal work. Its protective qualities ensure that the wealth you attract remains secure, shielding your financial gains from harm or loss.

Basil money jar spell

This money jar spell is a magickal infusion of basil’s abundant energy, which works to draw steady financial growth into your life. Keep the jar in a prominent place in your home or workspace to attract wealth and opportunities.

Spell ingredients:

• Fresh or dried basil leaves
• A small glass jar with a lid
• A coin or small denomination bill
• A piece of paper and pen
• A pinch of cinnamon (optional for added prosperity)
• Crystals associated with Mars or abundance, such as pyrite, carnelian, or garnet
• A few drops of money oil (optional, like patchouli or bergamot)

Spell steps:

Set your intention: Write your financial goal on a small piece of paper, such as “I attract increasing wealth and opportunities” or “I earn an extra $1000 every lunar cycle.” Fold the paper neatly and place it in the bottom of the jar.

Add basil: Take a handful of basil leaves and hold them in your hands. Visualize your financial goals while focusing on the vibrant energy of the herb. Place the basil into the jar.

Include a coin or note: Add a coin or a small note or bill, to the jar as a symbol of the wealth you wish to attract.

Add crystals: Select crystals that align with prosperity and the planetary energy of Mars. Pyrite symbolizes abundance and protection, carnelian boosts motivation and creativity, and garnet encourages financial stability and success. Add one or more of these crystals to the jar.

Optional enhancements: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon to speed up results and a few drops of money oil to amplify the jar’s energy.

Seal and bless the spell jar: Close the lid tightly while blessing it with this chant: 

“Basil green, abundance grows,
Wealth surrounds and freely flows.
Mars, with strength, secure my gain,
Prosperity grows without refrain.”

Set the jar: Place the spell jar in a spot where you’ll see it regularly, such as your desk, kitchen, or altar, to keep its energy active. Shake the jar occasionally to “stir up” its magic and keep the flow of abundance strong.

If you want a cash boost, basil’s rich symbolism and strong energetic properties make it a cornerstone of money magick. Attracting wealth with ease Basil will also provide the protection that ensures that your financial blessings are not only plentiful but secure.

As with all magick, remember to pair your spell with practical actions toward your goals. Magic is the first step – the catalyst – setting your intentions in motion, but you need to participate in the 3D world around you too, for your dreams and wishes to grow and blossom into their potential.
