Adorn your altar with fresh flowers and three candles in your favorite shade of green. Also, gather a pen and paper. Light the candles and sit in front of your altar while you meditate on what will make you achieve your full potential.
Do you need to change your money habits? Your approach to spending and finances? Do you need to open your creativity? Do you need to revitalize with a vacation? Concentrate deeply, and choose three intentions for positive change in your life to write down and place under your three candles. Every night for seven days, repeat this spell:
Today I arise. This day I embrace serenity and money wisdom.
Tonight, I rest. This night I embrace an attitude of abundance and calm.
Blessed be.
As you may have noticed from your reading, I treasure cinnamon incense. It brings a positive energy to your space with its appealingly sweet and spicy scent. It also brings prosperity and calm. What could be better? This may become one of your favorites, as well as it is truly easy to make.
Gather together:
Spoon the powdered cinnamon into the middle of your bowl and mix in the water well. When the consistency is close to that of damp sand, you are good. Using your hands, knead the mixture into your desired shape which could be a cone, pyramid, ball, or even a heart. Place this onto your baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Pull it out of the oven and let it cool. Once your incense creation is at room temperature, place it in the glass votive for when you want to use it. These DIY incenses take a few seconds to light but their captivating scents are so worth it.
We all have unexpected expenses that come out of the blue–car repairs, medical bills, or helping a loved one in need. I had the latter with my family and had to reach deep into my coffers to heed the call. When you need to quickly recover financially, this coin spell will fill the bill, literally.
Gather together:
On the evening of a new moon or a waxing moon phase when the moon is increasing, make a quick temporary altar where you pay your bills and handle your money–maybe it is your desk or perhaps, the kitchen table. Use your athame to create the circle of magic at this soon-to-be sacred space. Place the candles, incense, crystals, and fruit there and arrange them so a crystal, apple, and candle are each in a group. Light your candles and the incense. Take the coins in your hands and pass over the incense smoke. Place the coins in the jar. Now take the crystals in your hand and pass through the smoke, then place in the jar and seal. Pick up one piece of fruit at a time and touch to your third eye (in the middle of your forehead). Pray aloud:
This offering I make as my blessing to all,
Comfort and earthly gifts upon us shall fall.
Fill my coffers with silver and gold.
In this time of great need, I will be bold.
For the good of all, young and old.
Fill my coffers with silver and gold.
And so it is.
Extinguish the candles and incense and place on your altar for future use as well as the vessel containing the coins. When you go to sleep, dream of everyone you love, including yourself, receiving a harvest of material and spiritual wealth.
The San Francisco Bay Area is magical in spring and summer, with its profusion of poppies growing along the highway and in every available crevice. No wonder California is one of the wealthiest places in the world: Pagans revere poppies for their money magic. If you have a yard, meadow, or any strip of ground you can garden, buy poppy seeds and simply toss them all around. Two months later, you will have a wealth of wildflowers.
Harvest the dried seed pods and store some for replanting next winter. Place the rest in a tiny green to gold cloth bag.
Bless the bag with these words:
Poppy, gold like the sun, Thank you for the new luck I’ve won.
Sow the seed bag shut and carry it in your pocket, purse, or wallet.
Before you go to your job interview, slip into a magic money bath! This spell is most effective if practiced on a new or full moon Thursday night. Pour green apple or mint essential oil into running bath water and bathe by the light of a single green candle. As you close your eyes, meditate on your true desires. What does personal prosperity mean to you? What do you really need and what do you really want? When you are clear about your answers, focus on the candle flame while whispering:
Here and now,
My intention is set.
New luck will be mine.
All needs will be met.
With harm to none and plenty for all.
Blessed be.
Ask any feng shui master and they will tell you that water fountains are excellent feng shui and can enhance your prosperity quotient.
Gather together:
For those of us who can’t pull off a fountain in our home or garden, this works just as well to get the money flowing. Stand in your home’s front door area and identify the far left corner. This is the prosperity area and, therefore, the perfect place for this ritual. Place the smooth river rocks in the bottom of the container and carefully pour the water in, avoiding any spilling. Take up your wand and speak aloud:
In the name of goddess, I dedicate this space.
Peace and prosperity flows throughout this place.
Everyone here will enjoy abundance and grace.
With harm to none. So mote it be.
Take your wand and gently stir the surface of the water so it swirls and circles.
Repeat the spell, then bow and say thank you to abundance energies.
Take the vessel of water and pour it into the roots of the nearest tree, ideally right outside your home or one of your larger potted plants. This will keep the flow of abundance in your personal space.
In Japan, the frog presages good fortune. You can keep a little figure of a frog on your desk or wherever you pay bills and manage your personal finances. Your little froggy friend will be a guardian of your income and money.
If you want to bring more money into your home or office, place a big chunk of citrine on the left side of your desk, and the money will begin to flow! If you have a dark hallway that feels spooky or an area in your home or office in which the energy feels very static or low, place an obsidian ball there, perhaps on a pedestal, to absorb this negative energy. If you want your bedroom to be a place of bliss and unconditional love, rose quartz will create this all-important atmosphere. Not only will these tips add to the buoyancy and joy of your home, they will also make it more striking and serene.
Place these crystals around your home or workspace for their many benefits:
-Citrine: stronger communication skills
-Lace agate: happiness and joy
-Lapis lazuli: mental brilliance
-Moonstone: self-love and self-expression
-Red coral: good health and physical strength
-Rose quartz or opal: make you appealing to others
-Turquoise: calmness and protection from the earth
When you are crafting money magic, it is good to get in the manifesting mindset with some prosperity tea.
Gather together:
2 cups fresh water
Teapot
Green mug
Strainer
1 tablespoon dried rose hips
1 tablespoon dried chamomile
1 teaspoon orange peel
1 cinnamon stick
Steep the rose hips, chamomile, and orange peel in the freshly boiled water for 4 minutes. Strain and pour a cup of tea and stir widdershins, or counterclockwise, in the mug for a moment. As you drink, visualize the abundance coming into your life.
For centuries, witches have known that luck is neither random nor mysterious. Thanks to the wise women in my family who share their “trade secrets” openly, I learned very early in life that my fate was mine to guide, and that I could manifest my will through the tools of magic. When in a pinch, I have used witchcraft to replenish the coffers. I have also used prosperity spells to find a good home I could afford to rent, attract job opportunities, and help others. People have always marveled at what they perceive as my “good luck,” or suggested that I have a fleet of guardian angels behind my every move, but natural-born good luck has nothing to do with it.
Pagans revere poppies for their money magic. If you have a yard or any strip of ground you can garden, even a nearby meadow, buy poppy seeds and simply scatter half of them in early spring. Save the other half for the spell below. Soon, you will have a wealth of wildflowers. No doubt, you will be rewarded with the beauty and abundance of poppies for many years to come.
Gather together
* poppy seeds
* a small plain paper envelope
* a pen
Place the remaining poppy seeds in the envelope. Bless the envelope by chanting aloud:
Poppy, gold like the sun,
Thank you for the new fortune I’ve won.
With these words, this spell is sealed. And so it is.
Now, write the charm you have spoken on the envelope. Seal the envelope and place it in your wallet, behind your paper money. Your fortunes will begin to change as soon as the envelope is sealed.
Another charm for solvency is to take seven tiny turquoise stones in the palm of your hand and speak this wish-spell aloud:
Luck be quick,
luck be kind,
and, by lucky seven,
good luck will be mine.
Blessed be.
Place the seven small stones in your wallet or purse; more cash is on the way.
You can almost seal the deal before a job interview with this prosperity ritual. This spell is most effective if practiced on a new or full moon Thursday night, but can certainly be used whenever you need.
Pour 6 drops of mint, verbena, or apple essential oil into running bath water. You can also use all three. Turn off all lights, step into the tub, and bathe by the light of a single green candle. As you close your eyes, meditate on your true desires. What does personal prosperity mean to you? What do you really need and what do you really want?
When you are clear about your answers, focus on the candle flame while whispering:
Here and now, my intention is set.
New luck will be mine and all needs will be met,
With harm to none and plenty for all.
Blessed be. So mote it be.
When you are crafting money magic, it is good to get into the manifesting mindset with some prosperity tea.
Gather together
* 1 tablespoon dried rose hips
* 1 tablespoon dried chamomile
* 1 teaspoon orange peel
* 2 cups (480ml) freshly boiled water
* a teapot
* a green mug
* strainer
* 1 cinnamon stick
Steep the rose hips, chamomile, and orange peel in the freshly boiled water in the teapot for 4 minutes. Pour the tea into the mug through the strainer, and stir widdershins, or counterclockwise, with the cinnamon stick for a moment. As you drink, visualize the abundance coming into your life.
Gather together
* athame
* 3 gold (or yellow) candles
* frankincense or myrrh incense
* 3 yellow or gold-colored crystals, such as tiger’s eye, amber, citrine, yellow jade, or another favorite of yours
* 3 pieces of yellow- or gold-colored fruit, such as yellow apples or oranges
* 13 coins of different denominations
* a green or gold jar with a lid
Timing: Perform this spell on the evening of a new moon or during a waxing moon phase.
Make a quickie temporary altar wherever you pay your bills and handle your money—maybe it is your desk or perhaps the kitchen table. Use your athame to create the circle of magic in this soon-to-be-sacred space. Place the candles, incense, crystals, and fruit on the temporary altar and arrange them into three groups so each group contains a crystal, piece of fruit, and candle. Light your candles and the incense. One by one, take the coins in your hand and pass them through the incense smoke. Place the coins in the jar. Now take the crystals in your hand and pass them through the smoke, then place in the jar and seal. Pick up one piece of fruit at a time and touch to your third eye (in the middle of your forehead). Pray aloud:
This offering I make as my blessing to all,
Comfort and earthly gifts upon us shall fall.
Fill my coffers with silver and gold.
In this time of great need, I will be bold.
For the good of all, young and old.
Fill my coffers with silver and gold.
And so it is.
Extinguish the candles and incense and place on your altar for future use, as well as the vessel containing the coins. When you go to sleep, dream of everyone you love, including yourself, receiving a harvest of material and spiritual wealth.
As a kitchen witch and gardening enthusiast, I am always seeking to learn more about how the power of herbs, plants, roots, and flowers can be used in the craft. Grow your wealth, literally, with these handy herbs.
* Allspice berries bring good luck: Gather seven berries and place in a small pouch to carry in your pocket or purse for a week. On the seventh day, place the berries in your fireproof dish and burn them with cinnamon incense while making your wish for whatever you want.
* Basil is a major herb of abundance as well as love. Drop a few fresh basil leaves on the floor of your kitchen and sweep them out of your home with your magical broom while speaking this charm: “Scarcity is out the door; no longer will I be poor. Health and wealth, be here now. Harm to none, so mote it be.”
* Cinnamon has come to be called the “Sweet Money Spice” and this delightfully scented herb is a bringer of luck and will make a business more prosperous. Sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on the threshold of your front door, store, or business and watch the wealth walk in!
* Cloves are herbs of good fortune and even help in gambling. They also bring people together and bind them. If you need to turn your luck around, use cloves in spellwork as an herbal element or in incense or potpourri to create energy of abundance.
* Ginger root can speed up any magic. You can grind up the dried ginger root into powder; adding this to your money-attraction spells will bring the funds much sooner. Ginger tea brings money your way, briskly!
* Nutmeg is another spice beloved by gamesmen and gamblers. Carry a whole nutmeg in your pocket and your luck will improve the same day.
* Thyme is a common herb that will attract money to your home. Every time you cook with it you are drawing abundance and wealth toward you. Drink thyme tea for a quick fortune turnaround and fast money magic with this spell, “It is time for money to come my way; good luck is mine. Money thyme is mine with blessings for all.
