The humble Dollarweed grows where water lingers, along sidewalks, pond edges, lawns, ditches, and shaded gardens after rain. Its round leaves rise on slender stems like small green coins scattered across the ground, shining when the sun catches their waxy surface. Often dismissed as a weed, it is in truth a plant of quiet fortune. Wherever moisture gathers, Dollarweed follows, marking places of movement, seepage, and unseen pathways beneath the soil. It does not fight the land, it follows its own currents. 

In magick, Dollarweed is worked to attract money, encourage business, remove financial stagnation, and restore natural energetic flow. It teaches that abundance moves like water, not forced, but guided. 

FLOWING ROADS WASH
A cleansing ritual to remove blockages and invite steady prosperity. For this ritual you will need the following ingredients: 

one cup Rainwater or Spring Water 
seven Fresh Dollarweed Leaves 
one Bay Leaf 
three Drops Bergamot Oil 

Place the Dollarweed leaves and bay leaf into a glass bowl. Pour the water over them while focusing on movement and abundant opportunity. Add the bergamot oil and stir clockwise. Set the bowl near a doorway or window for one hour. Then strain and use to wash your hands before business, sales, payments, or financial decisions. 

COIN PATH CHARM
A charm to open financial roads and bring steady income. For this ritual you will need the following ingredients: 

Five Dried Dollarweed Leaves 
Pinch of Cinnamon 
Pinch of Chamomile 
Green Candle

In a mortar and pestle, grind the herbs gently together while chanting the following, 

“Little coins of leaf and stem, Open roads and welcome them. 
Steady gain and fortune grows, as living waters rise and prosperity flows.” 

Dress the green candle with the mixture and light it near your workspace, shop register, or financial papers. Allow it to burn safely while visualizing customers, opportunities, and payments arriving naturally. 

PROSPERITY POCKET INCENSE
An incense blend to keep luck circulating in the home or business. For this incense recipe you will need the following ingredients:

Two Tablespoons dried Dollarweed
One Tablespoon Frankincense
One Tablespoon Basil
One Tablespoon Orange Peel
Pinch of Nutmeg
Seven drops of Patchouli Oil 

Grind the Dollarweed and basil together, then blend with frankincense, orange peel, and nutmeg. Add patchouli oil and mix well. Burn a small amount weekly near the entrance of your home or shop to prevent stagnation and encourage continual movement of prosperity. 

Florida’s landscapes hold many overlooked allies, growing quietly at our feet. While some plants demand attention with bright flowers, others like Dollarweed work patiently, spreading, rooting, and multiplying wherever conditions allow. 

The garden of the world is full of secrets, where every leaf and blossom hides a touch of enchantment. Some herbs are well-traveled companions in spellwork, but many curious plants still linger in the shadows, waiting to share their charms. Firewolf’s Plant Profile Blogs wander into this hidden greenwood, gathering up the lesser-known allies of witchcraft. Each entry offers a sprinkle of plant wisdom, a dash of correspondences, and a spell or recipe or two, little treasures to stir into your craft and awaken new magick in your practice.

The Witches Harvest - Cornucopia – July 31st - August 2nd  Meititura, Lughnasadh, Lammas, The First Harvest, Harvest of Corn and Grain  Meititura - The Harvest of Grain and Wheat During the month of July into early August, corn and grains were the first crops to be harvested by the ancestors of the Witch. In ancient Sicily, the ‘Meititura’ (Harvest) was period of hard work, festivity and the blessings of the ‘First Fruits’ of the Agricultural Season. An effigy or puppet of the Grain Mother was fashioned from sheaves of wheat and adorned in female attire. This ‘puppet’ was then carried in procession throughout the local villages in joyous festivity. The sheaves of the Effigy were later used for amulets of protection and good fortune.  Throughout the world, July to August is marked as a time of harvesting corn, grain, and grapes – (to make wine). In our Witches’ Tradition we offer our devotion to the Goddess Demeter (Roman: Ceres) offering Her thanks and gratitude for the b...

  HALLOWEEN - OCTOBER 31ST - FESTA DEI MORTI, DAY OF THE DEAD, DEAD, SAMHAIN, JUORNO DE MORTI, FESTIVAL OF DEAD The true origin and roots of Halloween have been lost in time. It is often conjectured that this ancient holiday may be linked to the Feast of Pamona, the Roman Goddess of Orchards and Fruit - as well as to Parentalia; the ancient Roman festival held in honor of the dead. In the Italian and Sicilian Traditions of Witchcraft the Festa Dei Morti or Festival of the Dead focuses upon ancestral devotion and commemoration. The Festival of the Dead is a sacred and holy time of remembrance, love, spiritual communion, joy and mourning. It is a time of reflection, for looking back at the last year and coming to terms With the phenomenon of which we have no control over; death. Witches gather to celebrate the harvest season with family and friends. We mourn the downward spiral of life, but focus our minds and hearts on what is to come in the future. To a Wit...
