Happy Friday everyone!!! I intended to refresh my money/prosperity bowl yesterday with the new moon but hubby took me out instead.
It’s still within the new moon window so I did it tonight instead.
Ethics on Money Magick
I know on the Weekly Witchy Challenge - Ka Ching! Money Magic thread there was a bit of discussion on what I guess could be viewed as the ethics of performing such magic. I wanted to take a moment to explain the purpose of my bowl as it’s not really an ask of the universe to give me money. As you will see by the ingredients I use, while I do want to attract money, I am asking to do so through my success and efforts. I come from a blue-collar family as does my husband. I also pride myself as being the only successful one of my siblings but that’s a different discussion. I’ve always worked hard for what I get and have never liked handouts.
When I first heard about money bowls, it was via the metaphysical store I visit. I had a discussion with one of the workers about it’s purposes, what to include, and how to keep it going. When I expressed my concern over asking the universe for money, she told me “Sweetie, the universe isn’t going to give you anything without effort on your part.” but then also proceed to tell me how I could shift the focus more towards prosperity from my actions, which is what I’ve done.
Supplies
- Green or Gold Bowl of appropriate size (based on what all you are going to include)
- Green pillar candle
- Blessing/prosperity/Crown of Success oil
- Salt - used as base; I use both sea salt and pink Himalayan but you can use whatever you want
- Herbs of your choice:
- Basil: attracts money, wealth, and prosperity
- Peppermint: take action to obtain money, wealth, and prosperity
- St. John’s Wort: prosperity, blessings, and security of our money
- Bay leaves with intentions written on them
- Cloves: protection of our money, prosperity and success
- Crystals of your choice:
- Green Aventurine: success
- Emerald: Successful business, self-discipline, and manifestation
- Malachite: abundance, success with business deals and goals, luck with money (b/c my hubby likes to play lotto and gamble from time to time)
- Pyrite: attracts money, prosperity, success, and wealth
Process
- Decide on a deity to call to for aid. There are many to choose from. I happen to work with Hades, the Greek provider of fertility and wealth, so I can upon him during my spell.
- Gather all your supplies together. You can add other things to your bowl like gold glitter and money that you will not spend - whatever speaks to you of money, wealth, and prosperity.
- Light some incense and cleanse your space. I use sandalwood, jasmine, or Palo Santo but use whatever you like.
- Cast your circle for protection and call the quarters if so desired. Call upon your deity for aid in the spell. You can use an invocation for the deity or write a short prayer to them asking for assistance.
- Using your incense, cleanse all the items to be used.
- Add the salt to the bottom of the bowl while visualizing abundance and prosperity.
- As your crystals to the bowl while focusing on their intentions. I use a small bowl buried in the salt so that the crystals are not directly in the salt. I got a cheap green condiment bowl at the dollar store for this purpose.
- Anoint the candle with your choice of oil, drawing it to you to bring the wealth and prosperity towards you. Sprinkle a small amount of the herbs you are using onto the candle, avoiding the very top to prevent making a Roman candle. While adding them, visualize their purpose. Once dressed, put candle into salt - it should stand upright on it’s own. If it doesn’t, add more salt before proceeding.
- Optional Add herbs to the top of the salt. Add cinnamon sticks x3 to speed up the spell.
- Write your intentions on the bay leaves and place in bowl. Add 9 cloves to bowl while focusing on protection of your hard earned money.
- Add anything else you intend to now - money, glitter, etc.
- Light the candle and focus your energy on the bowl while saying the following, out loud or in your mind:
Thank you, {Deities Name}, for providing me and mine with hospitality and shelter.
My life is prosperous in money and wealth.
I am successful in all my projects and I walk in prosperity.
In perfect peace and in a perfect way as it is.
So mote it be!
- Focus on the candle for a few moments, regarding ways to bring prosperity and wealth into your life in all ways, not just money. When you feel ready, snub the flame.
- Thank you deity for their assistance and bid them farewell.
- Bid the elements/quarters farewell if you called them and open the circle.
- Light the candle for a at least a few minutes every day. Refresh when you feel called to do so.
