Choose your focus: Green is the colour of earth, of growing things, of life itself. It works across many areas, choose the one that calls to you most deeply right now.

• Money and prosperity
• Health and healing
• Growth and good luck

Intention, money and prosperity

To attract financial abundance, open channels of income, invite good luck with money, and cultivate a prosperous relationship with wealth and material success.

What you will need

• Green spiritual candle
• Peppermint or pine oil
• Basil leaves (fresh or dried)
• Cinnamon powder
• Patchouli or cedar incense
• Green or gold paper
• A green or gold pen
• Coins or a small plant
• A small dish of soil (optional)
• A fireproof holder
• A glass of water

For money: use basil, cinnamon, and coins. For health: use peppermint oil and pine. For growth and luck: use a small living plant beside the candle as a growth anchor.

Phase 1 - Ground yourself in earth energy

• The green candle is rooted in earth energy, patient, deep, and generative. Begin this ritual grounded. If possible, stand barefoot on the earth outside for a few minutes before you begin, or hold a handful of soil, a stone, or a living plant. Feel the solidity and abundance of the earth beneath everything.
• Clean your space thoroughly. Bring something living into it if you can, a green plant, a fresh herb, a flower. Life calls to life. The presence of a growing thing beside your candle amplifies the ritual's connection to natural abundance.
• Light your patchouli or cedar incense and move it clockwise through the space. Patchouli has been used for centuries to attract wealth and prosperity; cedar purifies and creates a sacred, protected container for the work. Let the smoke settle into the room before continuing.

Phase 2 - Build your prosperity altar

• Lay a base around your candle holder. For money work: arrange a circle of coins and sprinkle dried basil leaves and a pinch of cinnamon around the base, basil is one of the most revered herbs for financial attraction, and cinnamon speeds the arrival of what you call in. For health: lay fresh peppermint leaves or a pine sprig. For general growth: place your small plant directly beside the candle so the flame's light falls on it.
• If using a dish of soil, place it just behind the candle. Press a coin, a seed, or a small written intention into the soil, this is a planting, a physical act of sowing what you wish to grow. The soil holds the intention the way the earth holds a seed: patiently, powerfully, until it is ready to emerge.
• Dress the candle with peppermint or pine oil, rubbing from the base upward to the wick. As you apply the oil, speak directly to the candle: "I anoint you to carry my intention. As you burn, so grows what I have asked for."
• Carve your core intention into the candle using a pin or toothpick. For money: carve a currency symbol or the word "plenty". For health: carve a leaf, a cross, or the word "whole". For growth and luck: carve a small tree, a spiral, or the word "grow".

Phase 3 - Write your petition

• On your green or gold paper, write your petition with patience and specificity. The green candle rewards those who are clear about what they are asking for, not vague wishes, but grounded, real desires. Write in present tense, as though what you seek is already taking root and growing.

Money & prosperity: "Money flows to me steadily and abundantly from multiple sources. My finances grow, my debts shrink, and I always have more than enough."
Health & healing: "My body is strong, vital, and healing every day. Every cell is renewed with health, energy, and wholeness. [Name] is healed and restored."
Growth & good luck: "Good fortune follows me in all directions. Opportunities find me, doors open for me, and every area of my life grows stronger and better."

• After writing your petition, draw a tree over the words, a simple trunk with spreading branches and roots reaching downward. The tree is the symbol of the green candle: deeply rooted, steadily growing, bearing fruit in season. Your intention grows the same way.
• Fold the paper toward you three times. If working for money, tuck a basil leaf inside the fold before the final crease, this seals the herb's attracting power directly into your petition. Place it beneath the candle holder.

Phase 4 - Light and root your intention

• Light the candle. Place both hands flat on the surface of your altar or table, feeling the solidity beneath them. Take five slow, deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more rooted, more certain, more open to receiving. The green candle does not rush, it grows. Match its energy.
• Speak your declaration three times, steadily and with conviction. Let your voice carry the quiet certainty of a farmer who has planted good seed and knows, without doubt, that the harvest is coming:

Money & prosperity: "By this green flame I call prosperity, abundance, and financial freedom into my life. Every seed I have planted grows. Every door of wealth is open to me. I receive with gratitude and I share with generosity."
Health & healing: "By this green flame I call the healing power of the earth into my body and the bodies of those I love. Sickness gives way to strength. Weakness gives way to vitality. We are made whole."
Growth & good luck: "By this green flame I open every channel of growth, blessing, and good fortune in my life. What I tend grows. What I ask for comes. I am in alignment with abundance in all its forms."

• Sit with the candle for 15-20 minutes in quiet, grounded stillness. Unlike the orange candle's joyful daydreaming or the red candle's emotional fire, the green candle asks for patient, rooted trust. Visualize your intention not as a sudden event but as something steadily growing, like a seed pushing through soil toward light, day by day, unstoppably.
• For health rituals: place one hand gently on the part of the body that needs healing (or hold a photo of the person you are praying for) during this sitting time. Breathe green light, warm, alive, and deeply healing, into that place with every inhale. Feel the earth's ancient restorative power moving through you.

Phase 5 - Seal with the earth

• Before snuffing the candle, give something back. Speak a blessing or act of generosity, even a small one. Say: "As I receive, so I give. The cycle of abundance flows through me and beyond me." Then name one concrete act of generosity you will perform within the next three days, however small. Generosity is the green candle's most powerful accelerator.
• Snuff the candle. Say: "The flame rests. The roots grow deeper. What I have planted is growing even now." Repeat for 7 or 9 consecutive days, green candle work is patient and cumulative. The longer the working, the deeper the roots and the richer the harvest.
• Keep the petition paper, basil, and coins together in a green cloth pouch or a small envelope and place it where money lives, your wallet, your safe, your cash register, or your business desk. This becomes a living talisman, holding the ritual's energy in your financial space.
• If you planted a seed in the dish of soil, tend it. Water it. Watch it. Its growth mirrors the growth of your intention. If it thrives, your petition is being answered. When it is large enough, plant it outside, releasing the intention fully into the earth to grow without limit.
• After the final night, take the candle remnants and any used herbs outside and bury them in the earth or at the base of a living tree, returning the energy to the source that powers the green candle. Do not discard in the trash; the earth receives and recycles all things.

Best timing: Perform on a Thursday (Jupiter's day, rules abundance, expansion, and good fortune) or Friday (Venus's day, rules growth, beauty, and well being). The waxing moon through to the full moon is the most powerful window for all green candle work, this is the time of increase, of things filling up, of growing toward fullness. For health and fertility work, the full moon itself carries the strongest healing energy.

Some deeper wisdom for working with the green candle:

Patience is part of the ritual. The green candle operates on earth time, not instant manifestation, but steady, certain growth. If you are expecting overnight results, you may miss what is actually happening. Watch for small signs in the days after the ritual: an unexpected bill paid, a health symptom easing, a small but meaningful opportunity appearing. These are the first shoots breaking through the soil.

Reading the flame: A deep, steady green tinged flame means the earth energy is strong and your intention is well rooted. A bright, climbing flame signals fast growth and open channels, things are moving quickly. A flame that burns unevenly or leans may indicate imbalance in the area you are working on, examine whether there is a belief, habit, or situation that is working against your intention in daily life. Heavy soot on a money working often points to a scarcity mindset that needs addressing alongside the ritual.

The generosity principle. Of all the candles, the green candle responds most powerfully to giving. Tithing, sharing a meal, paying for someone's coffee, donating, any genuine act of generosity within the ritual cycle signals to the universe that you already operate from abundance, not lack. What you give out of fullness returns multiplied.

Combining candles for a full prosperity working: For the most powerful financial ritual, burn the green candle (to attract money and abundance) alongside the orange candle (to open opportunity channels) on alternating days, or place them together with the green on the left and orange on the right. Together they form a complete prosperity altar, the green pulls wealth from the earth; the orange opens the doors it walks through.

For fertility specifically: The 9 day working under a waxing moon, with fresh basil changed every three days and a living plant tended throughout, is the traditional approach. Always include a prayer of gratitude to the body itself, the green candle heals what it is invited into with love, not just petition.
