Green Charm Bags for Money Work
A charm bag is a portable charm: a bag of carefully chosen ingredients assembled for a specific purpose and treated by many practitioners as a living spiritual object. The color of the bag itself is part of the formula. Green corresponds to money, prosperity, growth, and abundance across multiple folk traditions, making green cotton a common choice for any financial working.
A 3 inch by 4 inch bag is a classic working size. It holds a folded petition paper, a handful of herbs such as basil, bay leaf, or Irish moss, a small piece of pyrite or a lucky coin, and any personal concerns or roots that the practitioner chooses to include, without becoming so bulky that it can’t be carried against the body. Charm bags are often kept warm, meaning close to the skin, especially in the first three days after making, so a compact bag that fits a pocket or can be tucked under clothing matters for the working to bond properly.
What Goes Inside a Money-Drawing Charm Bag
The contents of a green money bag vary by practitioner, but certain ingredients appear consistently. Basil, associated with financial luck and success since at least the Renaissance, is one of the most common additions. Bay laurel leaves are used for petitions and wishes. Pyrite, sometimes called fool’s gold, is added for its gold-like appearance and associations with attracting wealth. A real coin, especially a Mercury dime or a coin from a year that carries personal significance, anchors the working to actual currency. Some workers also add a lodestone to pull money toward them, feeding it with magnetic sand.
A petition paper is usually the heart of the bag: a small piece of paper on which the practitioner has written their name three times, then turned the paper and written the intention over it. The petition is folded toward the body, meaning you fold it so the fold comes toward you, to draw things in rather than push them away. Crystals, dried herbs, and roots are set around the petition before the bag is drawn shut. The whole assembly is then breathed into, a gesture meant to give the charm life before it goes to work.
Carrying vs. Fixing: Two Approaches to Green Bag Work
Some practitioners carry a green charm bag daily in a left pocket, against the body, so it is constantly in the practitioner’s auric field and picking up the energy of every financial transaction and opportunity encountered. Others prefer to fix a bag in a stationary location: under the cash register in a business, in the corner where bills are paid, or tucked into the back of a wallet. Both approaches are common. The difference lies in whether you want the bag to work on your personal fortune in general or to draw money to a specific location or purpose.
This bag is unfinished cotton, which means it has no fragrance added and can absorb the oils you choose to use for feeding it. Browse my full bags and pouches collection if you need additional sizes or colors for different workings.
How to Use a Green Charm Bag
A basic method for setting up a green money charm bag from scratch.
- Assemble Your Ingredients
Choose a quiet space and gather your money-drawing ingredients: coins, pyrite chips, basil, bay leaf, or a petition paper. Place them inside the green bag one by one, naming each item’s purpose aloud as it goes in.
- Seal and Breathe Life Into the Bag
Draw the bag closed tightly with both hands. Hold it against your chest or solar plexus for a moment, focusing on a clear and specific financial goal, a debt paid, a raise secured, or steady income maintained.
- Feed and Carry the Bag
Feed the bag monthly with a drop of money-drawing oil or a pinch of cinnamon, rubbed gently into the outside of the fabric. Carry it in a left pocket or keep it where you store cash to maintain the working.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this bag because the size is right and the color is true. A green bag for money work is a staple for prosperity workings, and having a plain unfinished cotton drawstring bag in the 3 inch by 4 inch working size means you can fill it with exactly what your specific working calls for, rather than buying a prefilled charm that may not match your tradition or your target.
