Manifesting with Cloves: Rituals for Good Luck, Financial Abundance and Feng Shui

Cloves are one of the most trusted tools in folk magic for good luck, protection and financial abundance, most simply carried loose in your wallet as an everyday charm. For a stronger ritual, burn cloves on the new moon and refresh them monthly to keep inviting fresh opportunity, and place bunches of three or five around your home, your bedroom, your kitchen and near your front door, to cleanse the space and support your intentions. For your workspace specifically, pressing 21 cloves into half a lemon with cinnamon and leaving it for seven days is a powerful ritual for inviting money and flow. Cloves also carry real practical value beyond ritual, including as a natural, fragrant way to help keep bugs out of your home.

Welcome to a journey of manifesting with cloves. Let’s explore the ancient wisdom of using cloves to attract good luck, financial prosperity and abundance, and how to strategically incorporate them into your home using Feng Shui principles. You’ll also discover the mystical power of the number three, and how to set powerful intentions that maximise your manifesting potential.

The Magical Properties of Cloves

Cloves, with their warm, aromatic fragrance, have been treasured for centuries, not only for their culinary uses but also for their potent metaphysical properties. In Western folk magic and Wiccan tradition, cloves correspond to the element of Fire and the Sun, giving them an active, energising quality. They’re not a spice for slow, quiet workings. Cloves speed things up, which is exactly why they suit good luck charms and money rituals so well.

These small yet powerful spices are known to:

Attract Abundance: Cloves are energetically aligned with wealth and prosperity.
Protect Against Negativity: They cleanse and shield your energy from negative influences.
Enhance Spiritual Growth: Cloves promote clarity and focus, essential for manifestation.

Cloves for Good Luck

The simplest and most common way I use cloves is carrying a few loose in my wallet. It’s a small, everyday practice, but it’s genuinely one of the most consistent traditions across folk magic, carrying cloves as a personal charm to invite luck, protect what you have, and keep money flowing rather than stagnant.

You don’t need an elaborate ritual for this one. Drop three cloves into your wallet, purse or pocket, and simply set the intention that they’re there to invite good fortune and protect your finances as you go about your day. Many people like to refresh them alongside their new moon ritual, so the charm always carries fresh energy.

Cloves and the New Moon: A Monthly Ritual for Luck

If you want to go a step further than simply carrying cloves, burning them on the new moon is a beautiful monthly practice. The new moon represents fresh starts, so it’s a natural time to release what’s stagnant and invite new luck and opportunity in.

A simple new moon clove ritual:

Light a small charcoal disc or your candle of choice in a heat-safe dish.
Add a few whole cloves and let the smoke rise as you set your intention for the month ahead.
Speak your intention aloud, simply and clearly, such as “I welcome new luck, opportunity and abundance this month.”
Once the ritual is complete, replace the cloves in your wallet, your Wealth Corner, or wherever you keep them, so you’re carrying fresh energy into the coming month.

Friday is also traditionally associated with abundance, so if your new moon happens to fall near a Friday, or you simply want to add an extra layer of intention, performing this ritual on a Friday can strengthen the working further. It’s not essential, simply a lovely addition if the timing lines up.

What Do Cloves Represent Spiritually?

Spiritually, cloves represent protection, prosperity and clarity. Their fiery, active energy has made them a staple across witchcraft, hoodoo and folk magic traditions for centuries, used to cleanse spaces, ward off negativity, and accelerate manifestation work.

I personally get the most benefit from keeping cloves in my own bedroom. There’s something about having them close to where you rest and reset each day that supports a genuine sense of cleansing and protection in the space you spend the most vulnerable hours in.

Feng Shui and Cloves: Aligning Energy in Your Home

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of harmonising your environment to optimise the flow of energy, or Chi. By placing cloves in specific areas of your home according to Feng Shui principles, you can amplify the energy of abundance and prosperity.

The Wealth Corner

In Feng Shui, the southeast corner of your home, or the far-left corner when standing at your front door, is known as the Wealth Corner.

What to Do: Place a small dish of whole cloves in this area to enhance the flow of financial energy.
Amplifiers: Add other wealth-enhancing elements, such as a green plant, citrine crystals, or gold accents.

The Front Door

Your front door is the gateway for energy entering your home.

What to Do: Place three cloves near your front door or under your doormat to welcome prosperity.
Intention: As you place the cloves, visualise abundance flowing into your home and feel gratitude for financial blessings.

The Kitchen

The kitchen represents nourishment and abundance in Feng Shui.

What to Do: Place cloves in a small decorative jar on your kitchen counter or add them to your cooking.
Intention: Infuse your meals with the vibration of prosperity by including cloves in your recipes.

The Bedroom

I keep bunches of three or five cloves in my own bedroom, alongside the kitchen, wallet and dining room window, as part of a regular cleansing and detoxing practice. The bedroom is where you rest, dream and reset, so keeping cloves here supports a clear, protected energy in the space you’re most open and vulnerable in overnight.

The Power of Three: Amplifying Your Manifestation

The number three carries spiritual and mystical significance, representing harmony, wisdom and manifestation. By incorporating the Power of Three into your clove rituals, you can amplify your intentions and accelerate your manifestations. I personally work with bunches of three or five cloves throughout my home, which is why you’ll see that number repeated through so many of these rituals.

The Three Cloves Ritual

Gather Three Cloves: Hold them in your hand and close your eyes.
Set Your Intention: Visualise your financial goals as already achieved, feeling gratitude and excitement.
Strategic Placement: Place one clove in the Wealth Corner, one near your front door, and one in your kitchen.

This simple ritual combines the energy of cloves, the focus of intention, and the power of three to create a potent vibration of abundance.

How to Set Powerful Intentions

Intentions are the foundation of manifestation. When you set a clear and focused intention, you align your energy with your desires, making them easier to attract.

Steps to Set Intentions with Cloves:

Clarity: Clearly define your financial goals. Be specific, such as “I want $10,000 in savings by the end of this year” or “I am earning $5,000 monthly doing work I love.”
Visualisation: Hold a clove in your hand and imagine your goals as if they’ve already been achieved. Feel the emotions of joy, security and freedom.
Affirmation: Create a positive affirmation, such as “I am financially abundant and secure,” and repeat it while holding the clove.
Placement: Place the clove in a strategic location, like the Wealth Corner or your wallet, and use its fragrance as a reminder of your intention.

The Lemon and Clove Abundance Ritual

This is one of my favourite rituals for turning your workspace into a genuine magnet for abundance. It’s simple, visual, and it gives you something to watch grow over the week ahead.

What you’ll need:

Half a lemon
21 whole cloves
A sprinkle of ground cinnamon

Steps:

Press 21 cloves into the cut face of your lemon half.
Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top of the cloves.
Place the lemon in your office or workspace, somewhere you’ll see it daily.
Leave it in place for seven days, setting the intention that your workspace is becoming a magnet for money, flow and abundance.
At the end of the seven days, you have a choice. Plant the lemon in a pot and watch it grow as a living symbol of the abundance you’ve called in, or dispose of it with gratitude, releasing the ritual’s energy back out into the world.

A Practical Bonus: Clove and Cinnamon Bug Spray

Cloves aren’t just spiritual tools, they’re genuinely useful too. I make my own clove and cinnamon spray at home, and it works beautifully as a natural way to help keep bugs out of the house. Simmer whole cloves and a cinnamon stick in water, strain once cooled, and pour into a spray bottle. Use it around windowsills, doorways and other entry points. It’s a lovely, fragrant way to bring the same protective energy of cloves into a practical, everyday form.

Maintaining Prosperity Energy

To keep the energy of abundance flowing, incorporate these practices into your routine:

Regular Cleansing: Cleanse your space regularly with sage or palo santo to remove stagnant energy.
Daily Gratitude: Cultivate a gratitude practice to raise your vibration and attract more abundance.
Mindfulness: Stay positive and shift your thoughts toward abundance whenever doubts arise.
Replace Cloves: Refresh the cloves in your home every few months, or alongside your new moon ritual, to maintain their energetic potency.

Conclusion

Manifesting abundance is a harmonious blend of intention, action and the magic of nature. By using cloves, aligning with Feng Shui principles, and harnessing the Power of Three, you can attract good luck, financial prosperity and a life filled with joy and abundance.

Remember, the universe is abundant, and you deserve to receive all the wealth and opportunities it has to offer. Embrace these practices with gratitude and confidence, and watch as the energy of cloves transforms your reality.

Happy manifesting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cloves do I need to use to attract abundance, prosperity and love?

There’s no single fixed number, but many manifestation practices work with three or five cloves due to their spiritual symbolism. Using three or five cloves while setting a clear intention helps anchor abundance, prosperity and love into your energy and environment.

Can cloves be used to manifest love with a specific person?

Cloves work best for attracting aligned love rather than controlling a specific person. Used with intention, cloves help clear energetic blocks, strengthen self-worth, and magnetise respectful, heart-aligned relationships.

How often should cloves be replaced when manifesting?

Replace your cloves every few months, or refresh them monthly alongside a new moon ritual. Refreshing cloves helps maintain clarity, intention and momentum in your manifestation practice.

Can cloves be used to attract love as well as money?

Yes. Cloves work with attraction, protection and energetic clarity. While often associated with prosperity, they’re equally powerful for love rituals when paired with heart-centred intentions and self-worth work.
