Money Spell Mishaps: How to Cast Right So the Universe Don’t Hand You Trouble Instead of Treasure

Hey there, sha!

If you ever lit a green candle hopin’ for some extra cash and wondered why things didn’t turn out right… you’re not alone. Money magic is popular because we all got bills and dreams. But if you don’t watch your words careful, the universe can give you exactly what you asked for in a way that brings more trouble than help.

The real magic ain’t only in the candles, the herbs, or the moon phase.

It’s in your words, sha.

The spirits and the ancestors listen close. They want to help you, but if you leave the how too wide open, they’ll take the quickest path — even if it ain’t the one you would’ve chosen.

** how to write a Solid Intent (The Right Way)**

Your words are like buildin’ a good levee — they keep the good stuff flowin’ in without washin’ away what matters most.

Here’s a simple formula worth usin’ every time:

  1. Name the exact amount (or “X or better”)

  2. Say where it can come from and what it can’t be

  3. Set the conditions — joy, ease, no harm

  4. Give a reasonable time frame

  5. End with thanks and “harm none”

Weak example:

“Money come to me easy.”

Strong example:

“I am gratefully receivin’ $5,000 or more from a legal, joyful, and good source that feels right. This money comes easy, without harm or grief to me or anybody I love. It brings peace and blessin’s and fits smooth into my life. This or somethin’ even better for the highest good of all, within 60 days or perfect timin’. So it is.”

Say it out loud with heart. Write it down. Burn it. Put it in your jar. Just mean every word.
Extra Safety Phrases Worth Keepin’ Handy

• “in a way that brings real joy and peace”

• “without loss, grief, or harm to any person or livin’ thing”

• “from sources that are honest and feel right”

• “in perfect timin’ for my good and everybody else’s”

• “this or somethin’ even better”

** Money Spell Intent Template**

Print this out, fill it in, read it three times out loud, then use it in your spell. Keep it simple and safe.

My Safe Money Spell Intent:

I, [Your Full Name], am gratefully receivin’ [exact amount or “$X or more”]

• Legal, honest, and feels right

• Comin’ from a positive source

• Arrivin’ easy with good timin’

• Bringin’ only joy, peace, and blessin’s

• Without stress or problems

This comes without harm, loss, grief, or bad consequences to me or anybody else.

I welcome this (or somethin’ even better) for the highest good of all, within [time frame] or perfect timin’.

Thank you to the Universe, my ancestors, and the spirits.

So it is. So mote it be.

Tip: If it don’t feel good and safe when you read it, rewrite it till it does.

Last Bit of Advice from Your Big Sister Down the Bayou

Magic is a conversation with the forces that keep the rivers movin’. When you throw out sloppy words, you’re basically sayin’ “Surprise me!” — and sometimes that surprise ain’t what you wanted.

Take the extra five minutes to write your intent proper. Read it out loud. Does it feel safe? Does it feel good? Would you be happy if it came true just like that?

If yes, then light your candle and trust.

You got this, sha.

Just be specific. Your future self and your family will thank you.

Blessed be, and may your money always come easy — with joy and no bad surprises. :money_bag::herb:

Laissez les bons sorts rouler!

Your favorite Cajun,

Ahh yes. I’m not going to lie, explaining Cajun culture is harder than I thought because when I read your question, I was like “oh sure I can explain that” until I came to explain it. Haha. So sha is a term of endearment, such as honey, darling, etc. you’ll often hear a Cajun say “sha bébé” which means they’re saying the baby is sha sha or adorable.

I understand! I do speak some french (not fluent or anything, but learned it in school) and I was wondering if it derived from “cher” and a quick google search brought some insight.
Also, I was fascinated to learn, that there is Cajun French (which is based on Canadian French) and Louisiana Creole which is slightly different, it seems.
When I was in my late twenties I´ve spent one week in New Orleans (this was before Katrina) and it was pure magic! The architecture of the French Quarter is just stunning.

I think Cajun culture is so very beautiful, but it comes with the pain of white colonialism, right. I admire the strength of peoples that integrated the white mans religious dogma, rather than submit to it, like europeans had to. I know this sounds strange, but the cultural and spiritual landscape of european countries looked very different before the Roman Empire took over, but this is almost 2000 years ago…
I´m rambling…:laughing:

Yes it’s derived from the word cher, but the Cajun French is a dying language because when the old Cajun people wanted to say bad stuff in front of the kids, they’d talk in French so the kids wouldn’t understand. And them old people, you can’t tell them nothing. :rofl: They want you to learn but they don’t want to teach because they still want to be able to talk about you , in front of you, and you can’t understand what they’re saying , or the fact that they’re talking about you. They are crazy. :rofl: So today’s generation, we just spell it how it sounds. Like a saying I always say is “gah de dàn” which means" look at that" :rofl:
Couyon (coo-yawhn) (the N is silent) -this is what we call someone jokingly , like a knuckle head, or sometimes very seriously with sternness - like if a teenager was being a little couyon and wrecked his parents vehicle by driving under the influence. It can be interchangeable.
I know we said the word “mais” before the rest of our sentence. Ex: “mais, gah de dan” or “mais, you better go to bed,you” and to be honest, I have no idea what the definition of “mais” is, but I still say it because that’s just how we speak. :laughing:
And I don’t mean to be rude, but can you give me more context on the colonialism part? Im not trying to be mean, but I just don’t understand, and I don’t want to give any wrong answers, or give the wrong information out, that’s all.

Wisely said! I once thought the whole idea of “be careful what you wish for (because you just might get it)” was being overly cautious, but this has been my experience too. The clearer and more focused an intention in spellcasting, the better I think! :blush:

Thank you for sharing your wonderful spell and wisdom! :heart: :pray:

It´s common in french, too. “Mais” translates to “But” and french people love to say: “Mais, ouis” (“But, yes!”) as a ways of saying: yes, of course.
Language is a funny thing.

You´re not rude at all. I just have to warn you, I´m quite a nerd when it comes to european history (I live in Vienna, Austria which is pretty much in the center of Europe) and tend to ramble. But I´ll try to make it short.

All parts of Europe, like all other parts of the world of course, have been inhabited by different tribes since approximately 300.000 BC, possibly longer but this is were archeology has found evidence of human colonization.
Some of the many tribes were the Celts, the Germans, the Iberians and a few more.

In summary, it can be said that before the spread of Christianity, Europe was characterized by a Celtic-Germanic culture in the north and west, as well as by various, sometimes very old, civilizations in the Mediterranean region.

These tribes, while exhibiting cultural variations, were united in their polytheistic beliefs and shared a similar system of thought. They were generally peaceful, aside from occasional tribal feuds, although human sacrifice on important occasions was not uncommon. Their societies were matrifocal in the sense that men firmly believed women were magical by nature and closest to the divine, due to their ability to create life.

They were skilled craftspeople; their exquisite ornamentation is particularly striking in the production of jewelry
Well-preserved examples of craftsmanship can be found in museums.

However, since these cultures did not develop a writing system, little has survived of their songs and stories, as is often the case with oral traditions. Nevertheless, many ancient myths and their deities have survived in fairy tales.

As the centuries passed, Italy (along with Greece) developed into a true superpower. It possessed numerous important Mediterranean ports, and virtually all major trade routes passed through Rome. This not only made Rome, and thus Italy, rich and powerful, but also made Italians cosmopolitan. Constant new influences from other cultures led to the readily adopted new “fashions.” This included early Christianity, which migrated to Italy via Greece as early as the 1st century AD. As we all know, the new religion was not universally accepted, and the early Christians had to endure persecution.
Around 200 AD, the Roman Empire began to expand northward, and many areas of present-day Austria and Germany fell under the Roman war machine, which far surpassed the status quo. In contrast, the various tribes and clans were an unorganized bunch and had nothing to oppose them.
Around 300 AD Emperor Constantine (of Rome) recognized the potential of the new christian faith and used it to his advantage in his conquests. He wanted to unite all the “heathens” of the new territories under one faith, one god, one emperor (which was then to be seen as equal to god or at least sent by god).
And his soldiers made pretty damn sure that this was happening all over Europe. Anyone who refused faced terrible consequences.

And I would say this was the turning point where systemic colonization began. All the other “conquests” that followed in later centuries followed this pattern: territories were invaded for resources, indigenous peoples were forced to convert, and those who refused were slaughtered. Whether it was the Spanish who invaded America, the British with their colonies in India, or the Boers (Dutch) in Africa; whether it was the South American culture of the Incas and Aztecs that was eradicated, or the Australian Aborigines whose continent was summarily declared a penal colony by the British government because their prisons were overcrowded.

The suffering inflicted on millions of people is immeasurable. Their culture destroyed, their spirituality forbidden, their language silenced.

What does all this have to do with Cajun culture?

Well, the roots of Cajun culture lie with French immigrants who originally settled in Canada (Acadia) in the 17th century. After their expulsion by the British in the 18th century, many of these people settled in southern Louisiana, where they formed the basis of today’s Cajun culture. In Louisiana (which had been sold by France to Spain around 1760), their French culture blended with influences from the Caribbean, Africa, and Spain. Interestingly, the Cajuns were able to live there virtually undisturbed, maintaining their culture and language, until oil deposits were discovered in Louisiana at the beginning of the 20th century. This discovery led to contact with Anglophone Americans, and they were immediately forced to Anglicize their language. Again, using the same brutal methods that had proven “effective.”
Even in Canada, the Indigenous population was interned by the government and the Catholic Church in so-called “boarding schools” and, through mistreatment, forced to abandon their culture and spirituality and adopt the Christian faith. These boarding schools were active until 1996. To date, around 1,000 unmarked graves have been discovered on the grounds of such “schools.”

So, yes…I do wonder sometimes how the state of the world would be today, if the Roman Empire would not have started to invade the rest of Europe.

In regular French, mais means but… I want to talk, but go to bed. Je desire parlais, mais couchez. Does mais have a similar sense in Cajun?

I’m enjoying this!

Well, yes, our state has been colonialized (not even sure if that is a real word, but for this paragraph , it is. :rofl:)
So, actually, my like 5x great grandpa, his name is Francisco segura. He was one of the first Spanish settlers to have founded this little town in Louisiana called new Iberia. Like I’ve already don’t the whole family tree lineage thing, and yup, sure enough, we’re related. Lol. I find that in itself to be fascinating. The other thing that’s quite fascinating is that technically, I’m not a Cajun, not by blood anyways. My great grandmother was a Cajun with the last name breaux, but my last name isn’t Cajun, and even though I’m not a Cajun by blood, I’m still considered a Cajun just because I grew up here. Im not sure why I’m telling you this because none of it really matters, but I like to ramble on and on too, so.. :woman_shrugging: lol.
Actually I found this out because I wanted to find a Cajun treater to mentor me, but I wasn’t too sure about if it was a closed practice, or if you absolutely had to be a Cajun by blood from Nova Scotia, or what…and I figured I’d find out if I had Cajun heritage in my blood line, and turns out I do, but when I found out that one of the first settlers in new Iberia was my ancestor, I was blown away. Idk why :joy:
Now, my dad’s side of the family, his mom and sister and him are from stavanger Norway. When I was growing up it was like a culture shock, even for me. My family didn’t speak Cajun French like everyone else.. they spoke Norwegian, and they cussed a lot, still do actually. My grandma would cuss so much that going out in public with her was embarrassing at times, I just wanted her to finish cussing whatever stranger out so we could move on with our day. :joy: apparently the cussing I grew up around, was nothing compared to the language they use in Norway. They cuss very good, I hear
But I got way off track, and so to close this out, I want to answer your question; yes, our state was colonized but the pain from it? Hmm.. idk. I don’t feel it.. not saying there was never pain from it, but I honestly don’t even think about it.
Now I will say this; slavery used to be a thing here, like not even that long ago.. but as of today, currently speaking in real time, I can say Louisiana is probably the least racist state in the country, in my own opinion. Like we don’t do all of that barbaric racial stuff. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there is racism in Louisiana, but I honestly never ever see it. Besides, racism is stupid anyways, like what really matters is the persons soul, and the soul is not bound by the color of my skin of my current vessel. That’s all my body is , is a vessel.
Secretly, I love when I see people on TikTok start arguing about closed practices, (which I am very respectful of) but, sometimes I get a lot of insight in just hearing what each practitioner has to say on the matter.

Yesss, girl! We can ramble as much as we want here!!! :hugs:

That´s a good thing! :purple_heart:
I always loved history and archeology, it was my favorite subject in school. And once I started learning, I started asking questions because I wanted to understand and then I started digging deeper…you know.

Absolutely is. It just serves the rich and powerful to divide us, because one we overcome it and unite we are more powerful and we become a threat.

Closed practices are exactly that: closed. It´s easy. There is so much other stuff that one can learn, that is readily available. It doesn´t have to be something completely out of someones cultural context just because a DNA test showed up 1% of something that sounds exotic and interesting, you know what I mean?

wow @SuckOnMySunshine I love it, thank you, thank you, for sharing, I am so happy I find this. I needed this thank you. I am so happy about your Money Spell Mishaps. I felt a bit down today.

Oh no, I definitely get it!!! Not everything is meant for everybody! That’s what we say. Now, don’t get me wrong, just because someone is not of the ideal race or skin color, does not mean they can’t be mentored and initiated into a closed practice! They definitely can! If you just “got it” meaning you got that special pizazz about you, and a voodoo practitioner thinks you’re worthy enough of mentoring, they don’t give a damn about skin color! You just have to be chosen! :purple_heart:

Honestly, want to know my secret to staying safe in a city like New Orleans when I go visit? When I get into Nola, I make a beeline directly to Marie leveaus shop, and I go to her alter, leave an offering of any kind. Whatever I got in my pocket that’s actually worth something even if it’s a penny. And I ask for her protection during my stay in her city. I don’t touch anything else, nothing! I pray with her and thank her , then I either buy what I gotta buy and leave, or I just leave. And I’ve gotten pretty tore up from the floor up in Nola but I’ve never had any problems. I’ve seen tourists get robbed, but it was never me, so thank god, and I also thank Marie leveau.
The in New Orleans, well, actually, most of Louisiana, we bury the dead above ground in mausoleums. That’s how Marie leveau is also buried. It’s said that the state is so haunted because of this reason. But specifically speaking about Marie leveau, they say she never moved on. That her spirit is still alive and is strolling around the French quarter. There’s even a woman who looks almost identical to Marie leveau, and she is a practitioner, as well, I believe. I’m not sure of her name but if you go to Nola, you will see all sorts of street performers and just different kinds of things like that, or like tarot card readings, palmistry, I mean all sorts of coo things, but if and when you see this practioner, she looks almost identical to the only know. Photo or portrait I should say , of Marie leveau. The La Laurie mansion, definitely cursed. I wouldn’t dare ever even set foot in that place. Idk why nick cage thought just because he’s rich, he can buy that mansion and not get grazed. He ended up selling it after he lost his mind. Smh. Some people think the spiritual side of Louisiana is a joke, but it’s not. It’s very real, and you ain’t gotta do much in order to find out. That’s why we tell ppl not to mess with nothing! Don’t touch it! Don’t worry about it! If you go in the woods and you see an old abandoned shack, that doesn’t mean pull a phone out and play dor the explorer. Seeing an abandoned shack in the woods VZ would in my y signify to me that I’m going too deep in the woods, & I need to get out the woods. Besides spiritual things, there’s also wild boar snd stuff that likes to roam around and charge at things. One time, during deer hunting season, my brother was using foliage as his deer blind in the ground, and a wild boar chased him up a tree and he was up there until like 8 pm .. lol. The boar fell asleep at the bottom of the tree , after it got tired of trying to climb t he e tree.

I agree, but when some Manfred from Germany suddenly calls himself “Shaman Little River” and sells courses for big money it is creeping me out. No matter how much he thinks he is into the spiritual practice…it´s just a no-go for me.

I´ve never even heard about that story. LOL!!!

What a nightmare! Sitting on a tree for hours…that´s terrifying.

@SuckOnMySunshine thank you for sharing your insight, I have not stated an exact amount in money spells as I felt that my ancestors would think I was materialistic and therefore put my faith that I would receive what I need both monetary and spiritually. I do feel that I should be more intentional and clear but not ask for too much. My Mum’s Angel has turned around again today when I came home from work so I know she is watching and listening a gentle reminder :dotted_six_pointed_star::waning_crescent_moon::pink_heart:
