Challenge entry #1

For my first entry, I’ve chosen Money Magick as that has been a topic I’ve been looking into recently.

To start with, I finally got the Trinity of Wealth spell properly written up and posted it here:

Money, Wealth, and Prosperity Magick

Spells Trinity of Wealth Spell Jar You will need: A glass jar with a lid Piece of brown paper Black pen Green or white candle I recommend using these ingredients for the jar, but it is possible to choose alternatives (see the original post up above for ideas): Three quarters or its equivalent Honey Rosemary Basil Thyme Three cinnamon sticks Three bay leaves Start by selecting a clear, glass jar that will be able to accommodate the entire recipe. Fill the jar with honey until it is half ful…

The original incantation was written in Latin, but I did my best to translate it into English in the morning using https://www.online-latin-dictionary.com/

I made one of these early last year to help ensure that I could finish getting my debts covered and I’d have enough to afford the deposit and all those other fees for our new apartment. (The apartment we moved to at the end of last year.) I buried it in a park near the old apartment, although with some difficulty, as there were small roots all through the soil, making digging difficult.

With many of these spells, I believe our own efforts are really important. We do the spell to send our intentions out into the universe, and while the universe and our spirits will guide and support us like a GPS, I believe we have to hop onto the bicycle and do the actual pedalling.

So, I put in a lot of work myself, including working a second job for three months to make extra money. Needless to say, that was an exhausting three months.

Then, later in the year, I officially opened my Etsy store after being emboldened by this coven, for which I’m extremely grateful.

Anyway, I will make another one soon. I’ve recently done a wealth spell, so I don’t want to do another too soon. This is a short video of the one I did with Clauneck exactly two weeks ago:

I will post the process to the wealth thread when I get a chance. There was a ritual I found online that I used as a base, but I changed it so much that I want to write up my own version.

Anyway, the purpose of this wealth work is to help me down the road towards my goals. The following is just part of what I want to achieve in this life:

@starborn

I have a lot of ambitions, so I want a lot more than what gets me through the next week. After I help pay off my in-laws’ mortgage, I want to start working towards the pet retirement home I’ve been dreaming of. The idea is that it will be like an animal shelter but for older pets to retire to when their owners can no longer take care of them or when they have no owners.

Another part is people-focused. I’m still working on the details with that, but I find teaching, guiding, and supporting people to be very fulfilling. However, I don’t have the qualifications to become a doctor or psychologist or similar, and I don’t intend to. I want to work on something that’s more easily accessible and down-to-earth, not requiring people to “have the money” to get foundational support in their lives.

Part of that is why I started doing tarot readings for others, and I keep the prices around that of a nice meal. (Arguable. My managers at work say one would have to spend at least twice that for a nice meal. I told them they’re being snobs for that, though. ) But that’s part of the experimentation.

Anyway, I will keep trying new things and mulling over ideas until I find something that works for me and others. I think I’ve wandered off-topic quite a bit here, but oh well.
