Nutmeg, Whole, 1 oz (Myristica fragrans)

A whole nutmeg is a lucky thing to carry. Myristica fragrans is the hard brown seed of a tropical evergreen, a Jupiter-and-Fire spice that folk magic, and especially the gambler, prized as a charm for luck and money. Kept whole in the pocket or the mojo bag, nutmeg is one of the classic fortune-drawing curios.

Important safety note. Nutmeg is psychoactive and toxic in quantity. Do not eat it for any effect or take it internally as part of a working; keep it as a carried or dressed charm only, away from children and pets.

This whole ounce is the starter size for gambling-luck charms, money mojo bags, and fortune work. A single whole nutmeg carried in the pocket is a complete charm. Reach for nutmeg when luck and money are the aim.

The Spiritual Significance

Nutmeg traveled the world as treasure, one of the great spices that empires fought to control, and that worth gave it a magic of luck and plenty. Cunningham seats it under Jupiter, the planet of expansion and fortune, and the element Fire, naming luck and money among its powers. Its single most famous working is the gambler's charm: a whole nutmeg carried in the pocket or sewn into a mojo bag to draw luck, especially luck in games of chance. Grated nutmeg is also added to money powders and sachets to expand prosperity.

Nutmeg has a darker side worth naming plainly: in quantity it is psychoactive and toxic, and it should never be eaten for any effect or taken internally as part of a working. Plentiful Earth offers these whole seeds strictly for ritual and spiritual use as carried and dressed charms, not as a food or a substance to consume, and they are not for ingestion. Keep them, like any potent curio, away from children and pets.
