How to Make a Prosperity Charm Bag

Charm bags, also known as sachets or spell bags, are a versatile and effective tool in magical practice. They serve as a container for energies, intentions, and symbols aligned with your goals. Whether you’re manifesting prosperity, protection, love, or good health, charm bags can help you focus and channel your energy. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to make a charm bag for prosperity using the planetary energy of Jupiter. For best results, create this bag on the first Thursday following the new moon.

What You’ll Need for This Prosperity Charm Bag

• A square piece of fabric (purple is ideal for Jupiter-related spells)

• Ribbon or string for tying the bag (use purple and white as a neutral option)

• Three coins (a penny, a nickel, and a dime) to symbolize increasing financial abundance

• Peppermint herb (associated with Jupiter and prosperity)

• A drawn Jupiter square on paper using purple ink

• Sea salt (for purification)

• Plain water (for blessing)

• Anointing oil (you can make your own with olive oil and a pinch of salt)

• Perfume spray or incense (for charging the bag with fire and air elements)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Create and Personalize the Jupiter Square

Start by drawing a Jupiter square on paper with purple ink. This is a 4x4 grid with the numbers 1 through 16 written in sequence.

The Square of Jupiter

To personalize it, use numerology to add your energy. Convert your name into numbers (A = 1, B = 2, etc.), then trace a line connecting these numbers on the square. This step helps align the charm bag with your personal vibration.

Alphabet converted to numbers.

For example, "Ariel" converted to numbers is 19953. Start with a tiny circle to denote the first number. Then, using a ruler, draw lines connecting each number.

Notice that I use a little "hook" to denote the repeated number 9. Draw a small perpendicular line to represent the last number

2. Assemble Your Charm Bag

• Lay your fabric flat on a clean surface.

• Place the completed square of Jupiter in the center of the fabric (you can fold it up if you need to)

• Add the three coins (penny, nickel, and dime). These represent financial growth.

• Add a small amount of peppermint herb, one of Jupiter’s associated herbs, to enhance prosperity energy.

3. Tie the Bag

Gather the four corners of the fabric and tie them together securely with the ribbon. Use multiple wraps for extra security, and finish with a firm knot or bow. This seals the ingredients inside the charm bag.

4. Charge the Bag

To activate your charm bag:

• Sprinkle it with blessed salt and water to purify and empower it (refer to basic witchcraft practices for blessing these elements).

• Wave the bag through incense smoke, or, if you don’t burn incense, substitute with a spray perfume or flower water. The mist represents air, and the action of spraying symbolizes fire.

• Anoint the bag with three small crosses of oil while visualizing your desired outcome—for instance, a steady increase in prosperity.

  
  

5. Raise and Direct Energy

If you’ve learned energy-raising techniques, focus your intent and direct the energy into the charm bag. Visualize your goal vividly, and imagine the charm bag as a “battery” charged with this energy.

Maintaining Your Charm Bag

• Long-Term Goals: For a charm bag designed to serve over time, such as for ongoing prosperity, keep it in a safe location in your home. Recharge it monthly during the New Moon to keep its energy strong.

• Short-Term Goals: If the charm bag is for a specific purpose (e.g., manifesting a new job), disassemble it once your goal is achieved. Dispose of the contents responsibly: bury organic materials in the earth and discard the rest thoughtfully.

  
  

Final Thoughts

Charm bags are a simple yet powerful way to focus and channel your intentions. By using this method, you can create personalized charm bags for any purpose—prosperity, protection, love, or health. Remember to keep track of your charm bags, recharge them regularly, and disassemble them when they’ve fulfilled their purpose.
