How to Create a Spell or Mojo Bag for Good Luck

We all desire good luck in our lives, hoping it will bring prosperity, love, and happiness. Good fortune is a mysterious force and no one truly understands how to harness it—but as Witches and magic workers, we sure do try!

One time-honored way to get luck on your side is through the creation of a spell or mojo bag. Spell bags, also known as gris-gris bags or charm bags, have been used for centuries in cultures around the world to attract positive energies and create the best chance of getting what you want from Lady Fortuna. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of creating your own spell bag to boost your lucky mojo.

Step 1: Set Your Intentions

Before you begin the creation process, it is essential to set your intentions clearly. In magic, as in life, messy planning often yields messy results! Determine what areas of your life you are seeking to enhance with good luck. It could be career success, finding a soulmate, or overall well-being. Take some time to reflect on your true desires, and be specific with your words and thoughts. By identifying your intentions, you will be better able to select the appropriate ingredients for your spell bag.

Step 2: Choose the Materials

Next, gather the ingredients for your spell or mojo bag. First, you will need either a small pouch, or a square or circle piece of cloth and a cord or ribbon to tie it closed. Choose a fabric or material that feels special to you and can hold the ingredients securely. Green, gold, yellow, and red are often considered lucky colors--but you don’t have to limit yourself to those if another color suits your purpose.

For your bag's "fillings", choose a variety of herbs, crystals, charms, and other items that are associated with good luck. It’s best to customize the ingredients based on your personal beliefs and the outcomes you are seeking.

Some popular choices include:

Four-leaf clovers: For growth and prosperity.

Lucky stones: Jade, aventurine, or citrine, which are believed to attract abundance and opportunity.

Coins: For attracting money through the principle of sympathetic magic.

Small keys: To unlock opportunities.

Dice: Especially for gambling charms.

Metal charms: These come in all different shapes! Horseshoes, clovers, crosses, stars, knots, rabbits, elephants, butterflies, and saints are just some of the symbols that are considered lucky around the world.

Herbs and spices: Try cinnamon (associated with prosperity and fast action) or citrus peel (said to bring positive energy and dispel negative thoughts).

While assembling the bag, you may choose to include additional personal items, such as a small photograph, personal sigil, or a lock of hair, to further enhance the connection between the bag and yourself.

Step 3: Charge Your Ingredients

Before placing the ingredients into your spell bag, it is beneficial to charge each one with your intention. You can do this by holding each item in your hands, closing your eyes, and envisioning the specific outcome you desire. Focus on infusing the items with positive energy and visualize your goals coming to fruition.

Step 4: Assemble Your Spell Bag

Once you have charged your ingredients, carefully place them in your pouch or cloth. It is customary to fold or tie the bag a specific number of times, such as three, seven, or nine. Each number carries its own significance, so choose the one that resonates with you the most.

Step 5: Activate and Carry Your Spell Bag

After creating your spell or mojo bag, it is essential to activate it by focusing your energy on it. Hold the bag in your hands and repeat a simple affirmation or mantra, such as "I am a magnet for good luck and abundance" or "Positive opportunities flow into my life effortlessly." By repeating these affirmations, you reinforce the intention and energy you have infused into the bag.

Carry your spell bag with you, either in your purse, pocket, or even hang it in your home or office space. The more you interact with the bag and focus on its purpose, the more powerful its effects may become.

Step 6: Refresh and Recharge

Over time, the energy and effectiveness of your spell bag may diminish. It is important to periodically “feed” or recharge lucky talismans. To do this, take a few moments to hold the bag in your hands, visualize your intentions, and infuse it with fresh energy. Some people like to place their spell bags under the light of the full moon or near a window where the sun's rays can energize them.

Remember, creating a spell or mojo bag is a personal and intuitive process. Trust your instincts and select ingredients that resonate with you. This bag will serve as a visual and tangible reminder of the good luck and positive opportunities you are inviting into your life. Enjoy the blessings of good luck that are sure to flow your way!
