Success
The Witch’s Garden of Herbal Magick
Looking for more success in your life? If so, these Magickal workings are exactly what you need. Of course, success means something different to each person, so these spells are specifically designed to work with your personal desires. Success can take the form of a healthier you, a more peaceful home, an ’A’ on your final exam, justice in a court case, or just about anything that you wish to go your way for the betterment of yourself or your life.
I love all the spells in this chapter, but my favorite go-to is the ginger root project-completion bath spell. I use it at least once a month, and it’s helped me achieve tremendous success in all my projects. In fact, it’s one of the spells I used to help me stay focused while working on this book and finish it on time. May all these spells bring you great success!

Rosehip relationship-success ice cube
An ice cube spell? Yes, that’s right. I thought of this when it was about 100°F (38°C) outside and I was holding an ice cube to my chest to cool myself down while a friend was lamenting that there was no longer any passion in her relationship. As she was talking, my ice cube suddenly escaped my fingers. As it fell to the ground I had flashes of myself preparing this spell to refuel a relationship. When I got home I meditated on the experience and created the following spell to bring your desires to your relationship. It’s best worked in hot weather, and you’ll need to wait for a Waxing Moon phase to perform it.
What you need
A bowl
1 cup (250ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons dried rosehip
1 tablespoon fenugreek
1 tablespoon crushed cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon rosemary
Peel of 1 orange, chopped
An ice-cube tray
What to do
✵ In the bowl combine all the ingredients, then fill the ice-cube tray with the mixture and freeze it.
✵ After sunset during a Waxing Moon phase, pour yourself a glass of red wine, take the tray of ice cubes, and sit outside to enjoy the night, even if the sky is cloudy. If you don’t drink alcohol, a strawberry, pomegranate, or cherry drink will do as well.
✵ Take one of the ice cubes and hold it in your fingers while you take a sip of your drink. Now lick the ice cube once and whisper into it one thing you wish to bring into your relationship. Then gently drop the cube onto the ground to symbolize melting the ice between you and your lover.
✵ Make as many wishes as you like, using a new cube for each one. Discard the cubes you don’t need.
