Find and acquire your perfect home with this powerful spell.
Few things can be as exciting – or as stressful! – as the process of finding and buying a home.
Lucky for you, you’re magical! So you can work this spell to magnetize the home that is perfect for you.
In this ritual, you’ll be working with Hestia, the Greek goddess of hearth and home.
It’s best to perform this spell on a Thursday when the moon is between new and full.
Ingredients:
Paper
Pen
Red or burgundy candle
Lighter or matches
Dinner plate
Vitex powder
Whole cloves
Wine glass
Good red wine
A wine opener
As spell preparation, sit comfortably with pen and paper. At the top, write, “OUR (or MY) NEW HOME.” Then make a list of all the features and qualities you desire in your home, including how you feel in it, how surprisingly easy it is to find and purchase, and the price range that is ideal for you. As you write, do your best to feel as if you are excitedly describing a place that is already yours. Take your time and write multiple drafts if necessary until it feels just right. Once it’s complete, feel gratitude for this home, again as if it’s already yours.
Fold the paper twice, folding toward yourself both times. Place it in the center of the dinner plate and put the candle on top. Sprinkle a small amount of cloves and vitex around the outside of the candle on the plate.
Light the candle and say:
Hestia, I call on you.
Set the wine glass near the dinner plate with candle. Open the wine and pour a glass. Say:
Hestia, I lovingly offer you this libation.
Radiant goddess, I humbly request that you help magnetize this home into our (my) life.
By your powers of warmth, laughter, sustenance, and safety, please unite us (me) with this home swiftly, perfectly, and in a divine manner.
Hestia, gratitude! For sharing your beauty and blessings! Gratitude!
If you’d like, pour yourself – and, optionally, any loved ones who will join you in the home – a glass of wine. Toast to Hestia and your new home (again, gratefully celebrating as if you’ve already found and purchased it), and drink.
Either way, allow the candle to burn all the way down. For safety purposes, it’s OK if you need to extinguish it and re-light it at intervals over the next few days.
After a few hours have passed, take the wine glass outside and offer its contents to the earth.
Continue to feel gratitude whenever you think of your move and your new home.
Brightest blessings and congratulations on your positive change!
…By the way, keep me posted! Please be sure to come back and give me an update in the comments.
How do you give thanks after the spell has worked?
Great question, Celia! You could offer a libation of a bottle of beer, ale, wine, or sparkling cider by pouring it on the earth (like in the front or back yard) at the house you’ve just sold. As you do so, give thanks to the Divine for helping you sell your home, and also give thanks to your home for all the good times and abundance it’s brought you.
My husband and I are currently looking for a new home, and I really like this spell. However, I’ve never heard of Vitex and was wondering if there was an appropriate substitute. Is there an herb or flower easily available to the southern US that would be suitable for home/hearth/Hestia? Thank you! Bright Blessings!
Hi Wendy! Congrats on your positive change. Well, if it helps, it’s also called Chasteberry, and you can find it online. For example, I found some here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/261254876/chasteberry-vitex-powder-herbalist?ga_search_query=vitex&ref=shop_items_search_3. Otherwise, you can omit the herb from the ritual. Intention is extremely powerful on its own.
I using rose, lavender, and ginger. These are substitutes I go look at the apartment I pray this work I already did a spell to invite home. Rather a prayer.
You can buy it powdered in suppliment form. It’s a great herbal remedy to help balance your adrenals. This one is for estrogen balancing so will help with pms and regulating your menstrual cycle. It’s especially good for a crone.
Best wishes in finding your dream home. Blessed be!
Is there a spell that helps with raising credit score?
Tonia, what a great idea for a spell! I will have to write one of those one day. In the meantime, in addition to any practical/conventional methods of raising your credit score (I took a class on the topic once and learned quite a lot of helpful tips), any abundance ritual that resonates with you will help. Clearing clutter also.
Thank you for this lovely spell. What do you do with the piece of paper after the candle has burned down?
Hi Sara! You can just dispose of it in any way you normally would.
Hello Tess, you always have the best advice and I love your website. My question is, what if you already have a house that is owned by family and you want to rent it. (My aunt is apparently leaving her husband and a perfectly good house to move into my grandma’s old place, while our trailer is literally falling apart around us. I don’t mean to drag on them, but I’m sick of being stepped on and I’m taking matters in to my own hands) We don’t just want this house. We need it.
Hi Laura! Thank you for your kind words. I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. So there is a house you’d like to rent, and someone in your family owns it? What is keeping you from renting it? Could you clarify a little more?
Yeah sorry my thoughts were kinda all over the place. My grandma passed away a few months back and so my uncle now owns her house. My aunt (not his wife a diff aunt) decided a few weeks ago I guess that she was gonna move in. Well her husband didn’t know any of this until my dad went over there to ask about me and my family moving in. Our current house is -literally- falling apart, like we shouldn’t be living in it falling apart and she is very much aware of that. Really outta all the family we don’t just want the house, we need it. Honestly, neither my parents nor myself have been offered anything since she died and I’m more than a little ticked. But at the moment, I’m willing to ignore it if we can just convince my uncle to let us live there.
Any help you can offer me is super appreciated btw!! (And thank you for all your help with all the other things I’ve looked up on your site, it’s actually been a huge help to me on my journey!!)
Oh OK! I see. First: I’m so sorry about your grandma. Second, I suggest doing this spell exactly as is, doing your best not to picture your grandma’s house. It’s OK if you do a little bit (it might be hard not to), but it IS possible that another perfect situation will present itself, so be open to that too. Magic is always most effective when you can leave lots of room for unexpected miracles and unforeseen opportunities. It’s also best when you remember that you are one with Infinity. Infinity is not limited, and is certainly not limited to ONE possibility.
Hmm, yeah you’re right. I guess I let myself get stuck on it, since it feels like my family is yet again trying to screw me over. Sounds good tho, I’ll be sure to give this a go. I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks again, for your help, I’m so glad there’s people like you out there that are patient and honest and willing to help out. You are greatly appreciated. 😊💛😊 🌒🌕🌘
Would this spell work if I already know exactly which house I want ? My perfect home came on the market a week ago, the owners agreed to an offer before I had a chance to put mine in. Could the spell be tweaked so the buyers have a change of heart and decide against the property and withdraw their offer giving me the opportunity to step in, if so how would I do that ? I need this house !
Hi Ellen! What the Goddess has done for another, she now does for you and MORE! Open up to divine possibility and trust the Universe. If it’s perfect for this house to be yours, great! But there may be another situation that’s perfect for you and everyone involved. So I would do the spell as is and do your best to envision the feelings and qualities you want, without any specific house in mind.
Hehe was just about to ask same question only my seller is just a liiiiiiitle beyond our budget at the “end” of negotiations.
This has not work it’s even Getting worse
Perhaps there’s something else that needs attention. Look deeply to see if something needs shifting, such as your credit score, your clutter in your current residence, or the area where you are looking.
Maybe it got worse because something that seemed right but would have been disastrous had to be eliminated.
On the other hand, there are many horrible people who’s intentions are to make as much money as possible even if it means putting someone else out of their homes. They may not know they are working with magic but everything is. Our powers are not always a match for the evils of money and greed. Do you have other people that can help you with the spelll? Can you do a road opener spell before doing this one? Or what is ur current situation ?
Hi Tess, Thank you so much for the Spell. We are currently searching for Our First home. Question, after the spell is finish, what we do with the Cloves , Vitex, and Paper? And when is the best day, time and moon cycle??? .. on “New Moon” Thanks for All your help. Blessings!
Hi Rosy! Yes, if you can wait for the new moon, that would be fantastic. Thursdays and Saturdays would be particularly good between the new and full moons. (Waxing moon.)
Thank you so much for your quick response. My other question is what we do with the Vitex,clove and wishing paper? Pour to earth or do we keep it.. Thanks again many Blessings.
Hi Rosy! It will likely be melted into the candle. So I’d just dispose of it as you usually would the base of a candle.
Hi. I am literally down to $0.40. I have a red candle (smells like cherry) and pen and paper. Is it possible to do this spell without the herbs and wine? (I would offer to the Goddess if I had any). I have 4 kids and need to find a place quickly.
Sure! Go for it.
This is probably a bit late for the commenter but for people reading this – there are probably grape vines growing near where you live. No matter the time of year, the bark from the vines should at least be there if not the leaves and fruit as well. Parts of the plant are a great substitute for wine and for vitex, and can help bring abundance, confidence and good luck. Just dont call Dionysus he will party too hard :p
I have been looking for my own house or a plot to build one for the past 10 years. Lot of Bad Luck in not finding one. I am going to do this spell n hope the Goddess blesses me with Good Luck soon.
I Stay in India.
Brightest blessings and every best wish on your house hunt, Prameela!
Hello and thank u for this site! I have a rental property that needs to be sold and I get so close and then nothing happens but I truly need this house sold. Would you happen to have a “ sell a house” spell? Thank so much. Lisah
Hi Lisah! Check out this post: https://tesswhitehurst.com/real-estate-feng-shui-simple-secrets-selling-your-house/
Blessings Tess! This is helpful and beautiful and powerful. So too are your flower rituals.
So glad you like it, Lynette. Thanks for reading and for your kind words.
Hi Tess, Hope you had a Magickal Full Lunar Eclipses.. 🙂 I have a quick question. After finding the Home, let’s say I would like to negotiate the price, would I do it on Waxing moon or Waning? When would be the Best time to settle or closed for price.. Hope you understand, what I am trying to ask.. lol. Thanks
Hi there! I, personally, would not wait for the moon in order to negotiate. I’d just do it when it seems right and trust in Divine Timing.
I worked this spell on Sunday during the Super Blood Moon, placed a bid Monday, and had my offer accepted today! The seller didn’t even make a counter offer. I’m wildly excited and incredibly grateful for your work. This was also the first time I visited your blog; what blessed timing.
Woohoo, Nadine! Congratulations.
Hi Tess, how often should this spell be repeated? Or is this a spell you do once and just wait patiently for the magic to happen. Thank you and love you website and advice.
Christal, did it feel good to you when you did it? If so, you don’t need to repeat it. Also: thanks for your kind words about my work.
Hi!! Would you have any spells for trying to buy a home but your credit is keeping you from being approved.
Hi Jcee! Actually, I’d focus on repairing your credit. There are many ways (in the physical world) to work on that if you haven’t already. You can also do affirmations and energy work to repair your credit simultaneously. Then work on buying a house once your credit is better.
Thank you for answering and thank you for the advice!! Great idea!!!!
Did this spell last month, and our offer got accepted for our ideal home within 30 days! Good spell! But I always personalize my spells also! Thanks!
Woohoo, Mika! Congratulations!
Dear Tess.
My daughter is planning to do this spell tomorrow.i know it’s short notice but is there anything that can be done to empower the candle.
Engraving names etc , or special oils.?.
Or is a plain red candle enough? .
She and her partner plus their 6 month old baby are sharing a room in his father’s small house
Thank you
Chrissy
Chrissy, that is not necessary but it certainly won’t hurt if you or she intuitively feel guided to empower the candle in such ways.
Thank you
Tess, your spell worked! My husband and I made a long list of what we wanted and most of it came true. Our new home will start construction this month and we are so happy. I want to give thanks to Hestia for her wonderful blessing. Any ideas?
Yay, Samantha! Congratulations! Isn’t magic amazing? Well, when you tune into Hestia and what she might appreciate, what does your intuition tell you?
My husband and I just sold our house and found a wonderful house to buy. We tried to bid on it but someone beat us to it. Twice this house was under pending status and for some reason they were not able to buy the house. It is under pending status again and my realtor told me not to bother. Is there a spell I can use that would bring that home to us in a way that would benefit all parties involved. I’m not trying to take anyone else’s dream home, I just feel very drawn to this home and while the sale is not complete I feel I can magically make it mine. 🙂
Victoria, I would do the spell from this post and include all the features you want, but leave the actual house itself up to the Universe. That way, if this house is perfect for you, you’ll get it. If there’s a better one out there that you’d like even more, you’ll get that one instead.
Hey Tess. My family is struggling to find a new home and the lease in the current house ends Thursday. I was wondering, on average, how long this spell takes to “work”
Becca, spells can take differing amounts of time depending on what is best for you, the quality of your energy, and your degree of positive expectation. If you need to find a place sooner rather than later, the more you can trust the Universe and visualize/imagine/feel yourself finding the perfect place in perfect timing, the better. Breathing, relaxing, and trusting are especially important during such times. You might want to do the spell and also repeat inwardly over and over, “Infinite Intelligence goes before us, making clear, easy, and successful our way.”
Hi Tess, I want to thank you for the guidance. I performed the spell with a specific home I really wanted and it fell through. I told myself that the goddess gave it to someone who truly deserved it and there’s no interfering with karma. With that in mind, I tried it once again, this time with a list of the things I desired that my ‘dream home’ to be made of. It was during a new moon and I used cinnamon powder and whole cloves since I had easy access to it. I focused strongly on my intention with a pure heart. The goddess gave me more than what I had asked for! I feel the deepest gratitude and I’d like to say thank you. Any suggestions? Stay Blessed!
Rachel, how wonderful! Congratulations! What are you asking for suggestions about?
Thank you, Tess! I’ve offered a libation of wine at the old house. Any suggestions on how I can offer thanks to the goddess at the new house.
Can I do this spell to find and acquire the perfect place of business? Like a storefront shop? Or perhaps, can you recommend a spell for a shop? Thank you:)
Yes, you may. Hestia is the goddess of hearth & home, and you are looking for a warm and loving home for your business. 🙂
Quick question: Is this a white magic spell?
If you mean magic that doesn’t cause harm to yourself or others, then yes.
After having to back out of the house my husband I were buying, I was unsure if we would find something within our time frame. I found this spell last night and I performed it tonight. I feel so amazing! I am overjoyed that goddess will bless us with our dream home! I had tears when I was toasting goddess. I can’t wait to return and let you know when we close on our dream home! Thank you so much for this! Blessed be ❤
Blessed be, Kimberly! 🙂
Hello Tess,
What is the best way to clean up after the spell? Is there anything special to be done with the paper, wax, etc.?
Thank you. Blessed be.
Carol
You can keep the paper and the remaining wax on your altar or another special place until you find a place if you like. Or you can just dispose.
My husband and I were always basically told that we would either not be able to buy a home or that it would be very difficult for us because we are self employed. On Christmas eve of 2018, we were notified that we would have to be out of our rental by March 2019, because our home was no longer being offered for rent. Having a new baby, and not finding anything we could afford to rent that fit our newly bigger family’s needs, we decided to give buying a try. We had a great realtor, but the mortgage broker she connected us with could only get us approved for a $60k loan because we were self employed and that broker didn’t know how to account for our unique income. Extremely discouraged, and panicked by the ticking timeline of when we would need to be out of our current home, I found this spell in a google search, and looked on my calendar for the next Thursday during a waxing period, and set aside the time to do this spell on my calendar. When it was time to do the spell, I indicated in my description of the house how easy it was to get our loan and how we got so much more than we initially thought we’d be able to, since that had been our biggest struggle thus far. I substituted basil for the Vitex, just using what I had on hand. The next morning, my husband took a call in the office and came out saying “you are magical,” and I asked why and he told me that we’d been approved for a $135k loan from a different mortgage broker recommended by our accountant – more than double what we were initially told! Then we could start looking for houses, and the house we ended up buying was one of the first houses we looked at (something I indicated when I did the spell, knowing that we needed to be swift about it,) it had tons of natural light, and two porches and back yard, all things I indicated in my spell. The house was sitting vacant for 6 years prior to the current owner buying it to flip it, and we were the first and only people to put an offer on it in the 3 weeks it had been on the market, despite its great price and sellers market at the time. The address is even 1111. We have now lived there since April (it’s currently September,) and everyone who enters it says that it feels like it has good energy. I credit this spell for how this home found its way to our family and am forever grateful. <3
Woohoo! Brittany, I LOVE it!!! Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing your story.
Hello,
We have been searching for a couple months now, and have had a couple of poor outcomes with offers we have made. However, I understand that it is most likely because they were not the right properties. Given the time that has gone by, we have been able to save more money for a bigger down payment, which makes the purchase price in our search higher. This means that instead of buying a place that will “work” for the short term, we are getting closer to the price of homes that will be perfect, now and into the future. Our lease is nearly up, and getting into a home sooner would decrease our cost of living, which is a very important part of why we are wanting to buy instead of rent. Rent is very expensive here.
I put in an offer, substantially lower than the asking price, but it’s what we can afford right now. We will have an answer by Friday on the offer. I realize this may not work out, no matter how much I would like it to because it fits all our needs for a home.
Tomorrow is Thursday, but we’re in a waning moon right now. We will hear the answer to the offer on Friday (before Saturday).
How important is the moon phase for this spell? Do you think I should just wait for the answer on this offer, and do the spell on Thursday of the next waxing moon? Or do the spell tomorrow?
Thank you =)
PS, The next Thursday with a waxing moon is October 31 where I live.
Think positively about finding the home that is perfect for you in perfect timing. Open your mind to the possibility that something divine and unexpected may happen. Use affirmations, light candles, do whatever you need to do to stay in a positive mindset. Then, if you’re still looking for a house come Thursday of the next waxing moon, do the spell.
Hey Tess
My sisters and I have decided that my father is at an age that he needs help,so I have been selected to take care of him. I will be taking a leave of absence from my caregiving job to care for him until he passes. Initially, the plan was to buy a house and the 2 of us would live there and they would pay me my currant salary. I told them to rent a house instead of buying one because it would be quicker. The plan is for me to be there the week before Christmas. When I do the find a home spell, do I include my sisters since they would be the one’s renting the house or since this is magic I do it for my Dad and I?
Hi Kathleen! I would do it for you and your Dad.
Hello,
I have a long situation here. So, I am almost 34 years old and decided to move out from my parental home (a 3-rooms apartment I’ve been living in since birth).
Now, my grandma is willing to sell her apartment and move in with mom in my place (dad died in 2001). Her apartment is a small 2-rooms one and I will need additional money to get me a bigger and cooler 2-rooms one for me (but it’s not the issue here).
We have offers for grandma’s apartment, but, for the life of me, I cannot find a satisfying one for me.
Some said about a Prosperity spell, but I feel I need more for the apartment I’ll be living in for a good chunk of my life. Mom will (eventually, after the inevitable with grandma happens) move in it and sell my parental home and I will move into a much bigger apartment.
If I do this spell, do I include mom too for the apartment I will buy? Like carve the candle, or something? Specifically, she won’t be joining me in this new apartment I want to buy right now, she will move in afterwards.
I want to get married -not sure who my destiny is yet!!- and live with my husband in this for a while. Should I include a “husband” (generic naming in my carving?) in the spell for this future apartment?
And, do I need to perform any Road Opener or Block Buster spell before this? Or Prosperity spell?
The earth offering will be done outside my parental house, as this is where I do my spells for now. Is it okay or should I go somewhere else?
Thank you so much! Blessed be!
Hi Diane! Just focus on your intention for how you would like to feel in your new home. I wouldn’t worry about the husband yet, and if you want your mom to live with you, you don’t need to do anything special. It’s always good to open up to the best possible outcome, so focus more on the feeling rather than the specifics. Leave the details up to the Universe. And it’s up to you whether or not you want to do another spell before this one (for prosperity or road opening).
My red candle is pretty fat and may not burn out all the way before the full moon comes. Should I get a smaller candle or is it ok to start during a waxing moon, even though the candle will finish when it’s a waning moon?
Hi Hannah! Either one is OK. It’s up to you.
Thank you! I just realized a pillar candle may not be too good because it won’t be able to burn all the way (since it’s 3″ across) and so there’ll be about 1/4″ of wax left. Should I do the spell again with a skinnier candle so it can burn completely?
Hi Hannah! Well, the intention is the most important thing, so if you feel like the spell went great – like if it felt good to you – I would say you don’t really need to redo it. But on the other hand, it won’t hurt! It’s really up to you.
I did feel positive when I did it (actually got emotional!) so I’ll wait for the spell to work its magic 🙂
Hi Tess! I have a question :: with the upcoming eclipses I have been seeking out a spell to put on the home I am renting, in hopes the owners will sell it to us. They purchased this home as a place to retire, they are in & from Seattle – we live south of Reno – so there is room for mind changing + circumstances changing. Is there any specific tweaks to this spell you would suggest for my circumstance? We are good here & on lease until November 2021, but I am in love & can’t leave, so I figured I would start the work asap. Blessings, xxx Ty
Hi Ty! I would not recommend putting a spell on a specific house, especially one that the owners may or may not want to sell. Instead, do a ritual for the best possible house for you. That way, if this current one IS and the owners DO want to sell, you will be open to receiving it. Otherwise, something even better will come your way.
Hi Tess,
My partner and I are looking for a home to buy – and alternatively to rent if that just happens to work out better. I in particular am feeling a lot of urgency because I am feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed in our current space. I would like to perform this spell but it’s still a little while until the washing moon. I’m wondering if I should go ahead and cast this spell despite the current waning moon or do something else for now…
Thank you!
Yes, until the new moon, repeat over and over again in your mind, “Infinite Intelligence goes before us, making clear, easy, and successful our way.” You can do this while driving, cleaning, walking, exercising, showering, etc. Whenever you start to worry, just bring your mind back to the affirmation. I use this when my partner and I are looking for a place, and it always works. (This affirmation is adopted from one written by Florence Scovel Schinn.)
I am extremely overpowered by your intelligence and spellwork . I have tried and i am seeing some positive change.Hope my success shall bring me at your gate for thanks guidance.
Tess, thank you for this powerful affirmation – I look forward to casting this spell as well once we are in the waxing moon!
Love is the great omni -designer. Patience is the work done in spellwork.It pays when your great focus and concecration is done in action.
Please, allow me to coven with you,Tia.
Thank you Tess! We are now living in a home that is just perfect for us ::))
Woohoo, Tia! Congratulations! I’m so happy to hear it.
Thank you so much for this spell. My partner and I did this the evening after putting an offer in on our dream house- by coincidence it was a Thursday when the moon was between new and full! We didn’t think we would get it as there was so much interest, 5 offers. The next morning we got a call saying our offer was accepted and it was the perfect amount, we beat the next two offers by just 2000. Then we were worried our finance wouldn’t go through but all was fine. We will get the keys in a couple of weeks. So thrilled!! Thank you tess, thank you hestia 🥰
Anna, YAY! Congratulations. Woohoo! What great news.
Hi Tess,
I love the idea of this spell. We’ve already placed an offer and it was accepted, would this spell work for the mortgage process to go through as well. That the only thing I’m a little worried about. I would love to be able to get this house.
Jason, sure! You can do the spell for that purpose. And congratulations on your offer being accepted. Exciting!
Hello, I love this spell! Can I use this spell to help my friend buy a house? Can we both do the spell for her and her family?
Also, what inspired you to choose Vitae? I have also never heard of this herb.
Thank you for your advice!
Heidi
Hi Heidi! This herb is aligned with the goddess Hestia, who presides over home and hearth. Well, if your friend is doing this spell already I don’t think you need to do it for her also. But you can certainly send support by lighting a candle and visualizing her and her family happy in their new home.
I’ve done this spell modified slightly to ask for Brigid’s help and as part of my Imbloc Sabbat ritual! I’ll let you know how it goes!!
Great idea! Yes, keep me posted. 🙂
