Folklore tells of people stringing garlands of Calendula (Marigold flowers), on their doorposts to keep evil out of the home. Scatter these flowers under the bed to invite prophetic dreams and “true dreams.” The reputation of Marigolds is that they are reveal thieves.

Add Calendula to your ritual baths to gain respect from the people you deal with.

Powers of the Sun

Marigolds supposedly promote justice in the courtroom. Add them to your court case spells only if your case is just, i.e. you are innocent or the defendant has genuinely wronged you.

The influence of Sol is that of wealth and prestige, but also of great wisdom and insight into hidden matters, because the Sun sees all.

Money

Hoodoo rootworkers add Calendula flowers to money mojos, oils, and powders to draw wealth. The golden flowers appear like gold coins.

Add Calendula to a Mojo Bag to draw wealth. Use seven total ingredients in a green or red bag or sachet pouch.

Along with the Calendula, combine ingredients such as Sassafras, Honey, Cinnamon, Grains of Paradise, Five Finger Grass, and (if you own a business) Blue Flag Root or Brown Sugar for more general purposes.

Feed your Money Mojo once a day with either New Money Oil, Attraction Oil, Better Business Oil, or a similar money-drawing recipe.

About once a month (or week, at most), smoke it (suffumigate) it in the smoke of Wealth of Kings Incense, New Money Incense or any appropriate incense formula.
