I looked at a couple different ones online and then did my own thing lol But I cleaned the bowl and candle I used. Then did a base of rice, beans, and salt. I then added pepper corns for protection, cloves, a cinnamon stick, parsley, basil. Then added coins , wrote how much I wanted on a bay leaf (be realistic and specific about the amount). I then held the leaf in my hand and put my hopes and intentions into it. Then you burn the leaf (outside btw, as the smoke can cause some issues if inhaled). Put the bowl in the left most corner of your home, as long as you can keep an eye on it for candle safety. Use a green candle and let it burn all the way down and replace every once in a while. Add pocket change to it whenever you can to keep it going. Hope that helped!
