I make this potion on the full moon each month and put it in a vinegar bottle so I can sprinkle it over the door step each day. It’s easy (that’s how I like my magick), cheap to make and seems to do the trick.
One thing though, I’ve found it attracts more prosperity during the waning moon than the waxing. Any theories on this? I’m going to make another batch on the new moon to see if it attracts more during the waxing than waning. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Like I said, this is super easy. All you need are some fresh basil leaves (don’t use dried for this spell) and some boiling water. Put the basil leaves in a bowl, pour over the water and leave for 3 days. Take out the basil, giving it a good squeeze and put the water in a bottle to use.
Incant or ritualise it as you see fit. My only addition is leaving it in the company of Dead Fred on the kitchen altar while it’s steeping for 3 days.
Basil, also known as the witch’s herb, is one of my favourite herbs. Not only because it tastes wonderful, especially with tomato, but it’s a fantastic multi purpose herb. Making this potion (well, really it’s a water but potion sounds just a tad more magickal) gives you the added bonus of house protection, home & business blessings (ideal if you work from home), negativity cleansing and a little love too.
If you make some let me know what prosperity comes your way until the next full moon!

Dead Fred's looking pretty jaunty there!
He's the life and soul of the kitchen, Debra
Bell, bookstand, and candles – plus chalice, wand, and stones – where's the pentacle and athame, Lyn?? ;D
Is that Hecate I see on that card in the bookstand? And what, pray, be the meaning of the mask?
…No incense either? xx
I don't think it's quite the 'traditional' altar, Charla. Dead Fred is a permanent fixture, the chalice is filled with little trinkets I've picked up, I can't light the candles because there's a cabinet above and I wouldn't leave an athame lying around the kitchen with all the kids about. The card on the stand is of Brigid and the mask is there because it's pretty and it reminds me of the different masks we wear each day.
The only reason I can think of for the potion working better during a waning moon is that it removes obstacles from prosperity (which would make sense during the waning moon), so that more money can come in. I'm definitely going to give it a try next month–and frankly, I don't care about when the prosperity comes in, just that does.
Thanks for the tip!
I agree with Michelle The waning moon takes away all negatives blocks etc so it tends to work better…xx
I shall give this a go, i could do with some prosperity, thanks
Lyn, I did this but i didnt sprinkle it everyday, i sprinkled round the whole of the property, business premisies and doorsteps it worked a bloody treat. Im trying it again but your way and see what the difference is, will keep you posted xxx
I forget to do it some days too Pixie… in fact you've just reminded me I need to sprinkle
DO keep me posted – can't wait to hear what your results are 
I'm finally giving this a try–my bowl is in the wealth corner of the living room on my prosperity altar. I'll keep you posted.
Ooo Lyn this potion sounds great and may be just what is needed right now! Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome – I've had good results
Dead Fred. I love that. I'm going to try my hand at this and see what it conjures up for me!
