Clove Spells: 5 Simple Rituals for Love, Money and Protection

Cloves might be small, but in witchcraft, they’re anything but subtle. With their warm, spicy energy and rich magical history, cloves have long been used for spells involving protection, love, abundance, and banishing. If you’ve ever wondered how to incorporate them into your craft, these five simple clove spells are a perfect place to start.

From love charms to prosperity jars, this post offers beginner-friendly rituals using cloves in everyday magic—each one rooted in folk practice, intention, and a bit of kitchen witch know-how.

Why Use Cloves in Magic?

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) are ruled by the planet Jupiter and aligned with the Fire element. Their energy is expansive, warming, and purifying—making them perfect for:

• Strengthening spells and intentions

• Offering protection and banishing harm

• Encouraging passion, courage, and emotional healing

• Drawing in money and stabilising prosperity

In magical history, cloves have been used across cultures as both medicine and charm. In ancient Chinese medicine, cloves were prized for their warming properties. In European folk magic, cloves were carried in sachets or worn as amulets to ward off gossip, slander, and the evil eye. Their scent alone was believed to purify a space.

In modern witchcraft, cloves are a go-to for charm bags, ritual oils, spell jars, and protective incense blends. And the best bit? You probably already have some in your cupboard.

Let’s dive into five easy clove spells to try at home.

1. Clove Love Charm for Attraction and Passion

This simple charm is ideal for drawing in romantic energy or rekindling existing flames.

You’ll need:

• 3 whole cloves

• A pinch of cinnamon

• Dried rose petals

• A small red or pink pouch

• A slip of paper and pen

How to:

Write your name and desire (e.g. “I call in love rooted in trust and passion”) and fold the paper toward you. Tuck it into the pouch with the herbs and whisper:

“Sweet spice and fire, draw my heart’s desire.”

Carry the pouch with you, especially on dates or when you’re open to love. You can also place it under your pillow.

2. Prosperity Jar Spell with Cloves for Wealth and Abundance

Create a clove-powered money jar to call in financial blessings.

You’ll need:

• 5 whole cloves

• Dried basil

• 1 bay leaf

• A coin or banknote

• A small jar or bottle

• Green candle (optional)

How to:

Add the herbs and money into your jar. Seal it and say:

“Abundance flows, fortune grows.
By flame and spice, prosperity shows.”

Burn a green candle beside the jar to charge it. Keep your jar in your workspace or wallet drawer.

3. Clove Protection Sachet to Ward Off Negativity

This charm helps shield you from harm, gossip, and psychic disturbance.

You’ll need:

• 3 whole cloves

• Dried rosemary

• A few lavender buds or bay leaves (optional)

• A black or white fabric pouch

Combine the herbs in your pouch and hold it between your hands. Chant:

Keep me safe where I belong.”

Tuck it into your bag, coat pocket, or hang it near your front door for home protection.

4. Clove Candle Banishing Spell

Great for releasing toxic energy, habits, or lingering negativity.

You’ll need:

• A black or white candle

• A fireproof dish

How to:

Dress your candle with the oil or roll it in ground clove. Light it and focus on what you’re ready to let go. Chant:

“As this candle burns away,
So too does what no longer serves.”

Let the candle burn down or extinguish it to repeat daily over three nights.

5. Clove Tea Ritual for Strength and Confidence

A warming tea to calm nerves and boost inner power.

You’ll need:
