Origin & Lore

Atrae Dinero means simply attract money, and it belongs to the Spanish-language family of condition oils sold in botánicas alongside candles, herbs and saints’ images. These oils run parallel to the English-named hoodoo formulas, and they are made for everyday use within the buyer’s own faith or practice. This one is made with the intention of abundance, prosperity and good luck.

In botánicas from the Bronx to Los Angeles, the money oils sit in a row of green bottles, each named like an order: Attract Money, Come Money, Money Drawing.

Botánicas grew up in American cities with Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican and Mexican communities through the twentieth century, serving practitioners of Espiritismo, Santería and everyday folk Catholicism. Their shelves hold oils, sprays, baths and candles in matching names, so that one intention can be worked through several products at once.

Money oils are among the most common of all condition formulas, in Spanish and English alike, and the methods for using them are shared across traditions: dress the candle, dress the paper, dress the wallet.
