MAGICAL PROPERTIES

Angel wings is known as a “magical charm plant.” Indigenous peoples in South and Central America work with her to ensure luck and success in a variety of areas, from hunting and fishing to love and safety. Work with her to bring abundance and luck into your life—but you must be clear on what it is you want. This isn’t random good luck; you have to set a clear intention and do the work to prove to angel wings that you do truly want it. She will grant you all the luck and abundance you could need.

If you have been in a long-term relationship that has begun to lose its fire, keep angel wings in your bedroom. And if you’ve been having trouble communicating in this relationship, keep her in the living room or at the dinner table, so she can bring clarity to your heart and help you pay attention to what is truly important to you. Given that sense of clarity though, you may find you want to break up. In that case, snip one of angel wings’ leaves and let it sit out for seven days. On the seventh day, burn it while speaking your intentions for ending the relationship. You will find the conversation much easier than it might otherwise have been.

She will sprinkle her wisdom into your spirit, clearing the way for you to reach your goals and desires. If she visits you in a dream, you will likely soon experience a new relationship or another form of happiness.
