Money and Prosperity

CHEAP  PROSPERITY DOOR MATS
Cut any old woolen articles into long strips, from one to two inches broad. With a pen, write words of power associated with money and draw lucky symbols on the strips, Braid three of these together, and sew the braid in gradually increasing circles till large enough. Place outside the front door where it will act as a magnet and draw prosperity to your home.
New Year's Day Prosperity Ritual
All over the South people eat a meal of collard greens, cornbread, and black-eyed peas to ensure their prosperity and protection in the coming year. Symbolically, the greens are said to represent green 'paper money'; the corn, being yellow, represents gold or coins; and the black-eyed peas, each possessing an eye, is said to protect you from negativity and bad luck (especially in the form of the evil eye).

Interestingly, a silver dime is often placed in the black-eyed peas, and the person who by chance is served the dime is said to be especially lucky that year, and he or she will keep the dime as a lucky token throughout the year.

On a personal note, growing up in the South our grandmother's often told us that 'what you do on New Year's Day, you'll be doing all year,' therefore we were never to wash clothes, do housework, or anything else we wouldn’t want to be doing on a daily basis.

Hoppin' John for Good Luck

Dose black-eyed peas is lucky,
When e’t on New Year’s Day,
You allus has sweet ‘taters,
An’ ‘possum come yore way.


~African American folk rhyme

On New Year’s Day many people make the dish called Hoppin' John along with collard greens to insure prosperity and abundance for the New Year. Because black-eyed peas swell when soaked in water, they represent abundance, magically speaking. Reportedly a favorite of Marie Laveau’s, Hoppin' John is a traditional Southern food prepared on New Year’s Day for it’s luck drawing qualities. The name Hoppin' John is thought to refer to the Southern folk hero, High John the Conqueror.

RECIPE
  • 1 lb. Black-Eyed Peas
  • 8 slices Bacon, cut into fourths
  • 1 1/2 cups Onions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • ½ cup bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 quarts water
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon Maison Louisianne Creole Spice Blend
  • 1/8 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1/8 teaspoon Rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 cups raw Rice

DIRECTIONS
Soak black-eyed peas overnight in water.  Fry bacon in a heavy skillet until crisp.  Add 1 1/2 cups onions, and cook until the onions are transparent.  Add 2 1/2 quarts water, bring to boil.  Add garlic cloves, Maison Louisianne Creole Spice Blend, thyme, bay leaf, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Drain peas and add the boiling mixture.  Barely simmer mixture, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hour.  Add 2 cups raw rice.  Serve with crisp French bread.  Enjoy!

BIG BANK BOOK
In a bowl, mix one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of sugar to form a thick paste.  Take a green candle and set it in the mixture; smear some of the mixture to the candle’s top and wick then sprinkle with cinnamon. Just before lighting, take a taste of the honey mixture on your finger and say out loud “sweeten my pockets” (or purse or bank book, as you like). Light candle and let it burn undisturbed (McQuillar, 2003).

Black-Eyed Peas (Vigna unguiclata subsp. unguiculata)
The black-eyed pea is a type of bean used for prosperity and general good luck in New Orleans Hoodoo. They can be found in any New Orleans style mojo bag even in the little mojo bags that are typically tied to the arms of Voodoo dolls marketed to the tourist trade. Black-eyed peas are usually placed in threes in mojo bags, and combined with High John root, a silver dime and a pinch of five finger grass as an excellent gambling and money-drawing mojo.
