Let’s Talk Money Magic

Money bowls. Green candles. Magical Cashbooks. These things all work but how effective are they really in the brand scheme of things?

Let me let you in on a little secret. They aren’t that effective. Well, they are, but they aren’t, and I’ll tell you why. Have you ever done a spell or a manifestation for money, but your car may have broken down, and your insurance gave you a large sum of money to fix it? You still have your money, but at what cost? Or perhaps you came into a large sum of inheritance out of nowhere due to a family member passing. This is more of an extreme example, of course.

This all ties into mundane and magical. If you don’t have a mundane path for that financial sorcery to fall upon, how else are the spirits/universe going to give you what you desire? They are going to find a way, just might not be in the way you want.

At the end of the day we live in a capitalist society, everyone is one paycheck away from becoming homeless these days. In order for financial magic to work we need multiple lines of income. Either that be a job, investments, a business, etc. That’s just the reality of things. You may receive that occasional sum of money from the government for an unclaimed amount but how often does that actually happen? The answer is not often.

Money and Mindset

I’m order for us to become successful with money we need to change our mindset about money. A lot of us have trauma stemming from generations having to due with finances. Some might call these energetic blockages that stop us from reaching our full potential. Which in a way that is true. It stops us from deciding and reaching our goals.

Through changing our relationship with money and our mindset. We start to notice a shift in our life. Maybe we find our passion that leads us to what we want to do as a career that’s more prosperous. Maybe we go into a business and we have great sales. We look into proper investing techniques and make a big decision and it happens to pay off.

Look at your ancestors relationship with money, your parents, and yourself. This is where you need to dig deep and look at it. Once you change your relationship with money, it flourishes in other aspects of your life. Healing that wound with finances is what’s really going to help you.

Being abundant is not about getting a check here and there. It's about enchanting your life.

Money Magic and Disabilities

In a world where we need to constantly learn, adapt and change we need to look at ways for us to make money in order for us to be financially abundant. However we run into situations like being disabled and not being able to work a career, relying on the government. Not everyone will be so lucky to even be able perform successful constant money workings.

Pushing this financial magic can be harmful, especially to those who are disabled and can’t work. So what can we do in the meantime? Here is my post on what we CAN do in the meantime.

For those who are able-bodied, the reality is that in this day and age, you will have to monetize your craft and seek higher education if you are to be financially abundant. Here is a link to a post on different avenues to do just that to build upon skills.

Also, bad grades? No problem. Check out your local community colleges; they sometimes offer free course upgrades.

The Mundane Before Magic

The spirits cannot grant you wealth without a direct avenue for it to deliver itself.

For example, you want a job but are not searching for one. If we look at probability here, there is a very low chance you'll be getting that job without actively looking. Magic can only give you so much before you have to start putting work into it.

Now, if we consider you wanting to get a raise at your job, you've put in the mundane work, lined up all of your avenues, and finally done the magical to set it all up. Your chances of getting that raise are much higher.

Now, the more avenues of income you have, a business, a job and investments, AND you did prosperity workings on top of that. That's where you'll get the real results. However, let's be honest, who has the time for all of that? It is true, though, that the more avenues of income you have, the easier time prosperity magic will come to you.

How to use Money Magic

Now let’s go into how to really work with financial magic. I talked a bit about this in this post.

Prosperity altars are so important, in my opinion, if you want to start building wealth in a magical sense. What not a better way to build wealth than by working with the spirit of money itself?

Here are some basic item suggestions to get started. You're going to want to keep within the gold and green colour scheme, which symbolise wealth and prosperity.

Altar cloth

Corresponding prosperity crystals

Corresponding herbs

Money tree

Prosperity incense

Candles

Coins

A money bowl, Jupiter cashbox, manifestation mirror box, etc

(Realistic) Petitions

Alcohol offerings (Rum or Whiskey)

Want to change your mindset when it comes to money?

In Jason Miller's Book Financial Sorcery, a ritual called Moving Your Setpoint helps you transform your past mindsets into your desired mindset. I have not personally tried this ritual, but I've heard success from those who have.

Alternatively, you could try a dedication/values ritual where you dedicate yourself to the best version of yourself or even a phoenix ritual of transformation.

Disability-Friendly Prosperity Magic

So let's face it, those who are disabled have a hard time with money in general, either from being unable to work or not having a steady, strong source of income. Sometimes we can monetize our hobbies, admittedly at a limited capacity (some less or more than others).

From our relationship with money, money mindsets, and income streams, it's hard. That's not to shame anyone, either. Some overspend to cope, while others are incredibly frugal.

In this post, I will review some resources, tips, and tricks for the struggling disabled witch.

The Mundane Before Magical

Step one is to make a budget and track your expenses. I'm serious. Sit down, look at where your money is going, and decide on a budget that you can realistically stick to. I use the 50/30/20 rule as a budget, which is 50% Needs, 30% Wants, and 20% Savings. However, I recently switched wants and savings around so I can save for a trip.

Now I do not want you to worry about a big fancy budget method. I don't want you to overthink it. Here is a resource (Canada, but it can be used in the USA) to start one. Focus on your needs like housing, utilities, basic clothing, food, etc. Then go into wants and entertainment, and finally, savings. I suggest you put any debt payoff into the needs category if you have any debt. You do not want a blow to your credit report.

Now do you have any financial goals? Going back to school? Debt payoff? A trip? Even a big medical trip coming up? Here is a resource (Canada, but it can be used in the USA) that can help you create a goal and a plan to pay this off.

Savings, please, your SAVINGS. It is vital to have an emergency fund. Job loss? Death? Vet bills? Children? Dentist? You better believe that piles up. It is recommended if you are single to have at least 3 months of income saved up, with a child and single at least 6 months. Married on two incomes, the same amount. Married with one income, it is recommended without children at least 6 months saved up and with children 9 months. It is vital you have the means to take care of yourself if an emergency strikes. It is never recommended that money be stopped from being put into these accounts.

If you are in debt, look at your debt relief options. Sometimes there are services out there that can advocate for you regarding debt. They will help you develop a plan, understand the relief options, sign documents with you, and develop a credit rebuilding program. These services are out there; even if they are paid, they can help you pay off some of your debt, especially credit card debt.

Educate yourself on investing, basic investing, and financial literacy, in stock markets and everything beyond. Know what kind of accounts you can hold and what could help you in your situation.

Need help applying for disability? Here's a resource for the USA (a lot can also be used for Canada).

The Magical

Upkeep a prosperity altar. Work with the spirit of money like you would any other spirit. Honour it, talk to it, venerate it. Money loves to be valued, moved, not wasted, and used in charity. Most importantly, money takes time. Money takes time to grow and build a relationship with.

This is the most important thing I've learned about money. It wants to be worked with. It's sitting there. It wants to help and aid you in ways that you need.

Work with this altar on Thursdays, incorporating the spirit of Jupiter. Jupiter rules over finances. Long steady finances, not quick finances. Jupiter rules over business, legal and all things finances. Jupiter is a slower-moving planet.

You can also incorporate the spirit of Mercury on Wednesdays along with your Jupiter workings. Mercury is a fast-moving planet, a planet for fast-moving money. However, you must build a long, steady form of finances over quick, easy cash (but sometimes you do need it right now).

You can create a money bowl and work with it on this altar, a Jupiter cashbox (I will make a future post on this), or a manifestation mirror box filled with petitions, sigils and your investment/banking information.

Fill your altar with greens and gold, imagery for wealth and abundance, pocket change, and anything else that symbolizes wealth.

Do not forget to leave offerings for your money altar. A simple glass of water can do but try to do more if you can.

Road opener workings or petition with an offering for the cross-road spirits who can unblock blockages in your way.

Final Take Away

I know this might not help everyone, but I sincerely hope this helps somebody. Financial literacy was not taught to everyone, nor were proper budgeting tips. I wanted to share what I've learned over the years as I believe it is vital information for some of the information I have collected.

Blessings

I wish I had a normal immune system. I do everything right and I have a UTI again anyway. 😒

Just hoping I last until tomorrow when I can get antibiotics and not develop another kidney infection overnight. That shit comes on faster than you think.

#a bit scary because i know my body's fighting it #i feel weakness but once the fever hits you're in trouble trust me #last time i felt this way but had a migraine coming on so i took a nap. woke up it hurt worse and i had bad kidney pain #a fever of about 103 going on 104. inching towards sepsis. family member tried to convince me to wait it out #i told them i might not make it overnight considering the timeline from kidney infection to sepsis and they didn't believe me #same person that gave me covid through negligence lmfao #chronic illness #disability #chronic pain #here's hoping i'm fine in the morning i mean i have an 11am appointment #but uh my antibiotics will have to wait till about 6-7pm #i have to be okay for 20 hours... i need my immune system to do its best till then.#sometimes i think about how id be so dead in another time period like this is the legit only time period that a body like mine can survive

Forgot how disgusting and bitter your mouth tastes when you take Paxlovid, yeesh.

But taking it for my CFS/long covid helps the brain fog mostly, not much my energy but that's expected according to my specialist and it's what happened when I originally took it. With antivirals for CFS/LC, it sucks that most people are on borrowed time until the virus builds a tolerance to the drug. It's how it was when I was on Tamiflu. Then you get sick again, sometimes worse than you were before. Last time I was on pax my POTS got really bad after I couldn't get it anymore.

With the most dominant viral strain in my body being coxsackie B3, he thinks remdesivir will be best and he's been trying to get that approved in pill form. That might buy me a few months. Longer possibly, said maybe even 9 months if I'm willing to take a specific SSRI which is scary, my brain hates those. I've been on at least 8

Used my mobility aid in public for the first time today and that was a big deal for me. I've had it for months but haven't had the balls to use it. Too much internalized ableism, it's dumb how scary it is. But y'know it wasn't too bad. Maybe I can do this

I just wanted to communicate that please don’t reblog from your business accounts and use your business as a tag on my posts on spoonie witch stuff. Especially if you’re using the spoonie tag as a marketing point and nowhere have you stated yourself that you are disabled. It feels incredibly disrespectful and kinda icky. Us disabled folks get taken advantage of enough. Im sure that wasn’t the intention and there was no harm meant but this is just a PSA not to please. If you were wondering why I blocked you from my post that is why.

Why does your DNI include people being discriminatory towards people of Jewish and Muslim faiths but not towards Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, and other religions? Are you virtue signaling for whatever is popular or do you have a good reason for it?

"Whatever is popular" is it trendy to not be okay with those things? Or is the implication that not supporting a genocide is a trend? Because you're sort of beating around the bush but it would seem that this has something to do with my stance on Israel's massacre of Palestinians. Did Malcolm X or The Black Panthers support Palestine for clout? Because you and I both know why Islam and Judaism. Discrimination against those two are rampant right now in particular, but I'd block someone who was discriminatory in general. Why the fuck wouldn't I? The only anti Buddhism I've seen here is appropriation via "tulpa systems" so that's on my DNI too. I'm also not going to list every single thing I'm not cool with.

I also can't remember the last time I heard someone say "fuck Hindus!" or some shit. I've literally never seen it here but if I did it's fair to assume I wouldn't be cool with that. Do I have to include every faith to appease you? Also you using the term virtue signaling unironically is cringe. You're cringe

Who the fuck sees "Don't be antisemitic or Islamophobic" and gets mad?? What kind of "good reason" would I need as justification for feeling that way? Like why aren't you mad I said don't be anti polyamory but didn't say anything about people who are anti monogamy? I've seen people like that. That I mentioned different forms of discrimination but not anti blackness? That I said don't be discriminatory against aros/aces but not gay people? No but me not liking discrimination against two particular marginalized religious groups that I've seen discrimination against and that there is an increase in hate crimes against, now that really rustles your jimmies.

I don't think you're saying this out of genuine care about the groups I didn't mention. So instead of pretending to be mad on their behalf maybe gargle my dick and balls?

#or are you mad because you're one or both of those things?#which i'm sure you'd deny even if you were but yknow. Why would you be mad?

Genuinely hate being told "oh so you can do X, but not Y or Z??" Even worse when x is like something that takes much less energy.

But I wanna know how they think energy works exactly? Say I had the energy to make a meal and that wiped me out. So why would I have the energy to help clean or organize something??

If you spend 10 hours doing manual labor what excuse do you have not to clean your entire house immediately after?? Pfft, you had energy when you were heavy lifting so why can't you just scrub some floors and vacuum every room??? Come on you're able bodied AND already showed that you have the energy to do something! Sounds like an excuse to me!!!

Not me remembering when I lived with my mother and she was pissed that I wore smoky eyeshadow because it was "wrong". I'd gotten a few compliments for it though!

Except I wasn't wearing any. it was my chronic illness, especially when I hade flareups. I had dark circles under my eyes and looked like a pale sickly Victorian child.

#I use “mother” loosely #hey men wear makeup i look great in it #i'm mixed and when i'm sick/flaring my complexion gets so fucking pale it scares people #she always thought i was lying about my chronic illness though so she didn't believe me lmfao #chronic illness #disability #chronic fаtiguе ѕуndrоmе #fibromyalgia #spoonie #actually disabled #chronic pain #cfs/me #me/cfs #cfs #pots #long covid #cpunk #cripplepunk #cripple
