Find What’s Missing with One of These Effective Rituals for Locating Lost Items
Whether you’re looking for your car keys, your wedding ring, or your Kindle, taking a quick moment to work a little magic can’t hurt. In fact, in my experience, a spell or ritual to find a lost object can definitely help.
If you’re not sure where you left something and you’re starting to suspect it may be in another zip code, try the first spell. If you’ve temporarily misplaced something in your bedroom, home, car, or workplace (or wherever your immediate vicinity happens to be), the second spell will be just the thing. (If you’re not sure, start with spell #2 and then move on to spell #1 if it doesn’t work.)
Lost Object Spell #1 – Spell to Find a Lost Item
Before I let you in on my own personal favorite finding-lost-objects ritual, I want to share this awesome Spell to Find a Lost Item by my good friend, Ellen Dugan (with whom I co-wrote Every Witch Way: Spells and Advice from Two Very Different Witches). Years ago, when she and I were staying together in a hotel for an author event, I realized I had left my Kindle on the plane. After she counseled me to perform this ritual, the airline not only found it (which was awesome enough in its own right), they also mailed it back to me free of charge, even though it was their policy to charge for shipping in such instances. Needless to say, I was sold. This Spell to Find a Lost Item is especially ideal for when you’ve left something somewhere and you suspect it’s unlikely that you will get it back.
Lost Object Spell #2 – Little Man Ritual
On the other hand, The Little Man ritual is the magical practice I use most often to find missing objects, specifically in cases when I know the object in question is around somewhere (usually somewhere in my home, but I’m just not sure exactly where. It’s more of a visualization to find lost objects than a spell. (This ritual for finding lost objects happens to be an excerpt from my book Holistic Energy Magic.)
In the “Little Man” exercise, you’ll be calling upon the part of your mind that knows all and sees all (including where your missing object happens to be), and you will be assigning an inner vision and personality to this part of your mind. For me it is actually a little man, although I have heard of people for whom it is a computer, a tree, a filing clerk, or a fairy princess. Please do not feel limited by the name.
To illustrate how it works, I’ll describe my personal “little man” exercise. When I’m trying to find a temporarily missing object, such as my keys, I stop my frantic rushing around, close my eyes, and take some deep breaths. Then I visualize myself in an elevator, going up, up, up, and up. I watch an old-fashioned little arrow showing me that I’m going to the very top floor, and then I hear a “ding” indicating I’ve arrived. When the doors slide open, I see that I’m in a Plexiglass room at the top of an extremely tall skyscraper in New York City. I push open the swinging door and feel the air whip around me as I walk to the edge of the roof. There, hovering over the city between two skyscrapers, is a meditating little man who is dressed like a genie. I say to him, “Little man, where are my keys (or whatever is lost)?”
He doesn’t say anything, but I know that he’s heard and that he will bring what I need to know into my consciousness. Then I thank him (sometimes mentally burning him incense or offering him flowers, both of which hover in front of him in honor of his help) and turn back toward the elevator. I open my eyes and continue to go about my day without stressing out too much about the lost object, although I may still look for it, just with confident nonchalance rather than panic. Almost invariably I find it within minutes.
To find your little man (or whatever he/she/it is for you), simply close your eyes and relax, setting the intention to see a visual representation of the part of your mind that knows, sees, and remembers everything. Notice the process of approaching this being, and then ask your question. Notice how your version of the little man responds (or doesn’t). Know in your heart that your little man has heard and is now diligently processing your request. Thank your little man, perhaps giving him an offering of gratitude, and then go on your way.
After opening your eyes, see if you can do something other than actively look for the lost object, or at least do so without panic. If the lost object is indeed still in your vicinity, you will almost certainly find it within a few minutes to an hour.
Did you find your lost object with one of these spells? Where was it? In your bedroom? Your car? Somewhere else in the house? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
I did it today and it worked! Thank you 🙏🏼 Blessed be
Fantastic, Gila!
I lost my engagement ring almost a week ago. I remember the last time I saw it but had put it in my pocket, so I don’t know if it fell out at IKEA or my car. I’ve cried screamed and have had sleepless nights. I need this ring back. I believe that it will come back. I feel calmer now after reading this blog. Please send positive vibes out for me. I’m trying hard to remain calm and not freak out.
Gillian, did you do the silver cord spell?
Not yet. I will try it tomorrow morning when I can be quiet and really concentrate. Any additional tips would be helpful. It has now been. Full week since I lost it .
Hello Tess,
I need some guidance. I did the silver rope spell yesterday to find my lost ring and nothing yet. Am I suppose to look for it after I repeat the spell ?
I’m so lost…. Please help
Gillian, did you feel the feeling of pulling it back to you? In other words, did you sense that it was energetically magnetized to you? If so, the best thing to do after the spell is to relax and allow it to find its way to you. That may or may not involve receiving an insight about where to look. If you didn’t feel that feeling of confidently pulling it back to you, or if you felt more fear than confidence, try the spell again and see if you can conjure up a feeling of confidence and calm that it’s on its way back.
Hello Tess,
To be honest I can’t seem to find that pull….. and it’s so hard to picture that silver rope. I’m starting to feel so defeated. I don’t want to give up but it’s been 3 weeks and my fiancé hasn’t spoken to me at all …. She lashed out and is so broken about it. I feel like a failure

I lost my passport and searched for a spell to find lost objects and seen the recommended one here by Ellen Dugan. I was just losing hope but kept thinking about what I read, that this one never fails, and just now, I found my passport, delighted is an understatement 🙂 Barcelona here I come WooHoo 🙌🏻
Woohoo, Janice! I hear it’s beautiful. Enjoy.
So my boyfriend had lost his book in which he writes on. We looked tirelessly for it and I decided to see if there was any spell to find missing things. I remember my mother saying to put a red ribbon/thread around the doorknob and did that and the little man ritual as I found it here. About a week later the book appeared right in front of me, while I was looking for something else. We had looked there, moved everything and I can guarantee it was not there before! Thank you for this! I am now in the search of his wallet! Seems to have misplaced it so little man ritual it is.
Ahh, great! So glad you found the book and that you can use the spell now for future items. It’s helped me a lot in my life.
