Grains were among the first crops cultivated. In ancient times, they were the only consumables that didn’t rot away like an animal carcass would if not eaten or salted right away.
These grains were toasted and water added to form some type of paste and that paste is what we now call cereals. Egyptians and Greeks started the refinery process until the Romans got the basics right and refined the taste of bread.
Grains are used in abundance spells and in the everlasting list for prosperity spells. They have kept our stomachs full, not so much nutritionally as vegetables or fruits do, but they have kept us satisfied without going hungry in many cultures around the world for many years.
Barley
Light Brown
Money
Get four small green drawstring bags and fill them with barley. Hold them in your hands and visualize your money needs, then place them inside the four corners of your home.
Buckwheat
Greenish Brown
Protection
Sprinkle lots and lots of buckwheat outside and around your home for protection. Place a couple of groats inside your wallet or purse to protect your money from being spent on unnecessary indulgences.
Millet (Puffed)
Light Orange to Brown
Changes, Health
For healing, fill a small white drawstring bag and carry it with you and at night place it under your pillow.
Use millet to activate change in your life. Every morning for seven days, sprinkle millet outside your home. Before you leave the house, step on the grains and envision the changes you wish to make.
Oats
Off-White
Prosperity
Once a month on a Sunday, sprinkle oats around your home, and as you do, visualize your prosperity needs. Do not vacuum until the next day. On a piece of paper, write your name and your prosperity needs. Put oats in a small box and within it place the piece of paper.
Rice (Uncooked)
White, Brown, Red, Black
Prosperity, Money, Protection
Rice has many uses, but I mostly use it for prosperity. Fill a small muslin white drawstring bag with black rice and place it behind your front door for protection. Fill a decorative bowl with rice for prosperity.
Sprinkle white rice every morning where you tread and think of the money and prosperity you need before you leave your home.
Legumes
All types
Protection, Prosperity
The variations of legumes (beans, lentils, and peas) are broad and colorful. The health benefits of a simple legume are precious and outweigh anything else out there in that department. The most wonderful thing about legumes is that they have no fat or cholesterol.
Plant a simple legume and give it an intent, such as for a new car, a home, employment, or financial stability. Nurture this legume into seedling stage and every time you water it, visualize your need.
Legumes are also good for fertility, so carry a small drawstring bag with a variety of them inside for this purpose.
Scatter legumes in your backyard for the fairies to use to build their homes. This secures your own home because fairies never leave theirs.
