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.

atHow do you give thanks after the spell has worked?
Tess Whitehurst says
atGreat 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.
Wendy says
atMy 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!
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.
Christan Blanton Blanton says
atI 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.
Tonia says
atIs there a spell that helps with raising credit score?
Tess Whitehurst says
atTonia, 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.
Sara says
atThank you for this lovely spell. What do you do with the piece of paper after the candle has burned down?
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi Sara! You can just dispose of it in any way you normally would.
Laura says
atHello 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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?
Laura says
atYeah 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.
Laura says
atAny 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!!)
Tess Whitehurst says
atOh 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.
Laura says
atHmm, 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. 😊💛😊 🌒🌕🌘
Ellen says
atWould 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 !
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.
Courtney says
atHehe was just about to ask same question only my seller is just a liiiiiiitle beyond our budget at the “end” of negotiations.
Rudy says
atThis has not work it’s even Getting worse
Tess Whitehurst says
atPerhaps 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.
Rosy says
atHi 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!
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.)
Rosy says
atThank 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.
Mialinda Trulove says
atHi. 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atSure! Go for it.
Prameela Balan says
atI 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atBrightest blessings and every best wish on your house hunt, Prameela!
Lisah says
atHello 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
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi Lisah! Check out this post: https://tesswhitehurst.com/real-estate-feng-shui-simple-secrets-selling-your-house/
Lynette says
atBlessings Tess! This is helpful and beautiful and powerful. So too are your flower rituals.
Tess Whitehurst says
atSo glad you like it, Lynette. Thanks for reading and for your kind words.
SunMoonStars says
atHi 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
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.
NADINE says
atI 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atWoohoo, Nadine! Congratulations.
Christal says
atHi 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.
Tess Whitehurst says
atChristal, 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.
Jcee says
atHi!! Would you have any spells for trying to buy a home but your credit is keeping you from being approved.
Tess Whitehurst says
atHi 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.
Jcee says
atThank you for answering and thank you for the advice!! Great idea!!!!
Mika says
atDid 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!
Tess Whitehurst says
atWoohoo, Mika! Congratulations!
Chrissy says
atDear 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
Tess Whitehurst says
atChrissy, that is not necessary but it certainly won’t hurt if you or she intuitively feel guided to empower the candle in such ways.
Chrissy says
atThank you
Samantha says
atTess, 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?
Tess Whitehurst says
atYay, Samantha! Congratulations! Isn’t magic amazing? Well, when you tune into Hestia and what she might appreciate, what does your intuition tell you?
Victoria says
atMy 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. 🙂
Tess Whitehurst says
atVictoria, 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.
Becca says
atHey 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”
Tess Whitehurst says
atBecca, 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.”
Rachel says
atHi 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!
Tess Whitehurst says
atRachel, how wonderful! Congratulations! What are you asking for suggestions about?
Rachel says
atThank 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.
Dina says
atCan 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:)
Tess Whitehurst says
atYes, you may. Hestia is the goddess of hearth & home, and you are looking for a warm and loving home for your business. 🙂
Nancy Dearborn says
atQuick question: Is this a white magic spell?
Tess Whitehurst says
atIf you mean magic that doesn’t cause harm to yourself or others, then yes.
