The period of the Waxing Moon, that is, the period when the New Moon grows larger and eventually turns into the Full Moon, is the best time for working magical spells and rituals for increasing things, attracting and bringing positive change.

In the approximately 14 days of the Waxing Moon, spells and rituals for increasing positive things into your life will be especially effective. These spells are meant to be as easy as possible for the beginner spellcaster to work, but rest assured that they are just as effective as any advanced spell.

Here are 18 easy spells and rituals that you can use to attract and increase health, love, money, success, new friendships, and luck.

1. Positive affirmations

Positive affirmations work. Positive affirmations in the time of the Waxing Moon work more effectively. Here are some daily affirmations you can use every morning;
For increasing love:
I attract love and joy into my life. I am a loving and wonderful person who deserves a loving and wonderful person in my life.
For increasing money:
I attract money. Money loves me and comes to me easily and in abundance.
For increasing success:
I am inspired, passionate, and powerful. I deserve success and attract it with every decision I make.
For increasing health:
I am completely healthy in body, mind, and spirit. I bless my body daily with nutritious food and healthy exercise. My mind is calm and peaceful and my spirit is happy and joyful.

2. Candle magic

Candle magic is simple and easy to do. You can also use candle magic along with your positive affirmations above. Take some time for yourself any evening during the Waxing Moon, dim the lights and sit in front of your lighted candle for 10 to 15 minutes. Visualize the thing you are attracting into your life, see it clearly in your mind, meditate upon it and know that what you desire will be yours soon. You can also repeat the positive affirmations during your ritual. Be careful that there are no flammable objects nearby, use your own discretion when working with fire.
