Try wearing a red riibbon on our big toe on rosh chodesh. I’ve heard/read dozens of such “segulas” offered for various outcomes ranging from the obvious to absurd. If you watch TV at 2AM you will switch channels offering vegematics, ginzu knives and televangelists offering magical oil and amulets from the “Holy Land” . We have advertisements for mekubals arriving each week from EY whose offer “guaranteed results” for shidduchimn, cures for all sorts of ailments, etc. Obviously anyone can believe what they want on these matters but my Rav told me a long-time ago there is nothing more effective than direct teffilah from the heart to the Ebeshter. He doesn’t need/want intermediaries or mystical accessories…just your teffilos with kavanah.
