Introduction
Prosperity Magick in Action
W e all want financial security in our lives so that we can live without worry and fear, have a good home, travel, have enough to meet our needs (plus a little more), help those we love, and donate to the causes we deem most deserving of our support.
Money does not bring happiness in itself, and those who are obsessed with money rarely find contentment. But the spells in this book focus on the satisfaction of being rewarded for hard work and advancing toward a better quality of life. The book covers all aspects of prosperity, from building up security through savings, wise investments, or property, to gaining promotion and merited pay raises, to instant and urgent money for those times when we or our loved ones have a pressing need or were overwhelmed by debt because of illness, misfortune, or the less-than-honest dealings of others.
Making money through our own creativity or enterprises can be especially satisfying, and building a business through our gifts, especially if there is fierce competition, can benefit from spells when starting out or in times of economic downturn. Spells can also help attract new business and expand markets and sources of income.
Turning an interest or hobby into a second or alternative career can benefit from a boost of magick. It can give us the confidence and impetus to test our talents in the marketplace, which these days often means cyberspace, and to attract the right publicity and consumers and build up a viable business. It can even help us achieve fame and fortune, should those be are dreams.
Money spells, like all magick, involve the dual process of drawing to us what we need when we most need it and alerting us to new opportunities through a natural psychic process called psychokinesis. Psychokinesis is the power whereby we spontaneously choose the right crystals to heal or the tarot cards to answer questions. In earlier times, it drew hunters to where the herds were when people had to travel on foot and did not have the resources of technological aids to guide them. Modern entrepreneurs seem to have this gift in abundance, but by casting prosperity spells frequently, we can all develop it to some degree.
When we hit periods of bad financial luck, or when it seems that whatever we touch turns to dust, we can lose confidence and become jittery and attract even more financial loss. Spells to replace bad luck with good have the dual purpose of not only removing lingering bad vibes but also of attracting opportunities for good fortune.
While the addiction of gambling can destroy solvency, there are indeed money spells to prevent this and other forms of addiction that drain family resources. Moderate gambling and speculation, whether on the financial markets or in property, are potential money spinners.
While the lottery is arguably largely a random process, spells may enable us to move the odds in our favor for at least moderate wins.
Saving through months and years, whether for a home, a dream, travel, or our familys future college fees, can benefit from spells by boosting free income. Spells can also psychically guide us and draw to us potentially wise investments. Spells can potentially assist us in buying property in the short and long term. Not only is this true for buying a new home, but also for adding sources of rental income, renovating properties for profitable resale, or tuning into and anticipating property market rises.
But if we are deprived of what is rightfully financially ours, whether through dishonesty (especially in the modern world as a result of internet or telephone scams) inheritance disputes, or unjust denial of compensation, earthly justice can feel slow or weighted against us. In such cases, spells can redress the balance, especially when a major organization or a particularly vicious or unjust adversary opposes us.
Financial drains, often from people who make us feel responsible or guilty if we dont subsidize them, can also benefit from the reversing power of spells. Earthly input can help protect us from emotional pressures or even psychological vampirism, which is when resources and energy are being drained equally. Divorce settlements can be particularly bitter, especially if one partner is using vulnerable children as a weapon, or if one partner feels totally steamrolled or manipulated or they cannot afford a good lawyer. Spells can help to redress the balance, not least by generating the power to fight back and creating an aura of victory that can outface a bullying ex-partner and expose lies.
Because of their nature, money spells utilize coins and jewelry, especially those made of gold or silver. These are considered natural symbols of prosperity. The lucky green symbolizes currency of any denomination, while rich and vibrant crystals such as the red or golden-gleaming tiger eye support hard-working people who desire to achieve success. Lucky green aventurine or amazonite is the stone of opportunity. If you put these all together, they are called the Gamblers Crystals. Sparkling yellow citrine is often called the Merchants Stone and is associated with business ventures or promotion. The basil plant is traditionally used in money-growing spells, bamboo is used for money luck, and fragrances such as rose or sage are frequently linked with longer-term prosperity spells.
Money can also be a liberator, offering the means to travel and fulfill dreams. Sometimes downsizing or funding an eco-venture, while not bringing wealth beyond measure, can fall under the mantle of money magick to bring in sufficient funds to allow you to lead a fulfilling life.
But money can also be a weapon, used to control partners and families. Protective and empowering money spells may help to break the dreadful physical and emotional hold. For example, a family property or fortune going back generations can trap a newcomer who marries into the family. This newcomer may find themselves obligated to satisfy certain demands of the family or risk financial punishment.
