Jason G. Miller - Financial Sorcery: Magical Strategies to Create Real and Lasting Wealth

As the owner of a metaphysical shop, I cannot tell you how many times customers come to me with questions about improving their finances. Financial Sorcery has just made my life easier, as I can now point them to a book that has solid information about mundane and magical techniques that work. Jason Miller has collected wisdom from many sources, added his own spice, and come up with a pie you can sink your teeth into, rather the pie in the sky of other writings on money and magic. This book is real gold, not fools gold, and I intend to make use of this treasure.

Ivo Dominguez, Jr., author of Casting Sacred Space and Spirit Speak

Get rich quick spell books are easy enough to find. Books that provide useful magical and mundane advice for improving your financial condition are far less common, and far, far more valuable when you find them. Jason Millers Financial Sorcery is one of those books. If you read this book and follow Jasons advice, you will see real-time, real-world improvements in your financial condition and develop a new, healthier relationship with money. And Im not just a reviewer, Im a satisfied customer! Financial Sorcery provided me with many new strategies and ideas for improving my writing career. If you could use more money (and who cant?), you owe it to yourself to buy, read, and use Financial Sorcery.

Kenaz Filan, author of The Haitian Vodou Handbook and Vodou Money Magic

Jason Millers Financial Sorcery is a tour de force of successful magical and life strategies to catapult the reader into a new and wealthy world. Although this book has more than enough spellwork ideas for the practitioner to achieve results, the real strength of the book is in teaching magical practitioners how to think about their relationship with magic, money, finances, and wealth in a way that grounds the magic into actionable steps. Although it would be impossible for any book to cover all the details, Financial Sorcery provides a rare glimpse into how to think about the process and movement toward wealthan insight that is largely missing from most books on money or financial magic. I only wish I had written this book first!

For my children, Matthew and Tegan.

First and foremost, I wish to thank my wife and children for their patience and encouragement during the writing of this book. They were the inspiration for me to approach finances in a more serious way and thus are the real spark behind this book.

Special Thanks to Matthew Brownlee for more than 20 years of friendship, for helping reify the Lightning Glyphs of Jupiter, and for providing all the artwork for this book. Bang-up job, my friend.

Thanks also to Gordon White of Rune Soup for providing ideas, resources, and conversation. Thanks to Jow, Deborah Costellano, Rufus Opus, Michael Cecchetelli, and many others for reading parts of the first drafts and testing some of the magic therein.

Thanks to the Gentlemen for Jupiter, who serve as constant inspiration and companions in the effort to make necessary wealth a part of spiritual practice. Ave Iovis!

Thanks to all my initiators, mentors, teachers, friends, and informants who have revealed to me the secrets of their craft. Special thanks for this go to: John Myrdhin Reynolds, Namkhai Norbu, Lopon Tenzin Namdak, Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche, Cliff and Misha Pollick, catherine yronwode, Tau Nemesius, Paul Hume, Simon, Lama Wangdor, Blanch Krubner, Dr. Jim, and all my brothers in the Terra Sancta Sodality.

Lastly, I want to thank all at New Page Books who worked on this book. Specifically Laurie Kelly-Pye, who read an article of mine on Witchvox.com and suggested I start writing books.

Chances are good that if you have been practicing magic or witchcraft for any length of time, you have been asked a question that goes something like this: If magic is real and you can cast spells, why arent you rich?

Most of us dismiss that question because if we are serious about magic, becoming rich is usually not our main concern in life. We have other motivation for what we do. If you think about it, though, the question actually has some validity. I mean, why not? Most of us work just like other people do, and need money just as everyone else does. When you take the snide skepticism away, we are left with a legitimate question: If magic is real, and spells work, why are we not more successful with money magic? When you take a look at the occult and pagan community, you can see its not just a matter of being rich; many of us are not even financially stable. This is becoming more evident now that we have a generation of leaders and authors in the community who are at retirement age and older, and have to rely upon frequent calls for charity and assistance just to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and medicine in the cabinet.

I spent quite a lot of time thinking about this question of money and magic, and I started talking to others about their experiences. I came to the conclusion that the magic itself is fine: our spells usually work, the spirits bestow their gifts, and the gods respond when we call. The problem is in the application of our magic.

Almost everyone I spoke to about financial magic told me stories of how they used magic to fix a problem rather than build something for themselves. I was told stories of successful magic aimed at not getting fired, or obtaining emergency funds to pay bills. The attitude for most people seemed to be that when everything was okay, it was best to not give much thought to money at all. When people did talk about doing magic to attain something better for themselves, it was almost always for something pie-in-the-sky like the Mega Millions lottery. Though the aim of such a spell is to attain something greater than what you have, the real attitude behind it is still the desire to not have to think about money. Whether you are marginalizing the role it plays in your life by ignoring it or trying to get so much of it that you never need to think about it again, the goal is avoidance of money rather than engagement with it.
