On your mark!
Get set!
Come join the fun! I’ve got all sorts of things in here for you. There are ideas on how to allow yourself to enjoy prosperity, how to banish those awful old debts without heartache, how to get money back from someone who owes you, how to transform your money flow in a positive way, and much more. I also provide historical and practical information on spell elements and ingredients. It’s fun to learn and zap, too!
Welcome to my world—a universe of abundance where prosperity is what you bring to your work, not what your work brings to you.
The spells in this book represent my journey from poverty to abundance in a practical and magickal way. No kidding! Right now you are holding the very plan I used to create prosperity in my life.
I know you are just itching to get to the spells, but please take a moment to peruse this little chapter, ‘cuz there’s stuff in here that will make or break your spellcasting finesse. I’ll keep this short—I promise!
The first step to living a prosperous life lies in your desire to exercise your right to take back your power. By acknowledging that you have the power to change things while you are having fun, you open the door to your personal prosperity. Truly, prosperity means having the time of your life.
Prosperity magick 1 deals with your state of mind. In prosperity magick, if you think yourself poor, you will be poor. This is the same in love and healing magick but, for some reason, many people just can’t believe that how they think manifests into hard financial dollars and cents. When I started looking at money and seeing energy rather than printed paper or embossed metal, I realized a shocking and simple truth: money is just energy. The mystery of money immediately vanished!
You are already a prosperous person. You just have to acknowledge that fact!
Balance
All workings of magick and ritual create energies to push or pull life into balance. Recently one of my students, let’s call her Heather, buried herself in an onslaught of prosperity magick. As she was just about to reach her goal, she said, “I think it’s wonderful that the Goddess changes everything She touches, but I wish She would leave Her hands off for awhile, at least until I gain some equilibrium!” Then Heather laughed, and said, “I didn’t realize my life was so out of whack, but boy, has this been worth it!” One week later, she finished closing on the house she’d always wanted. How long did it take Heather to manifest her goal, from beginning to end? Six weeks. Of course, gaining a home is only one aspect of Heather’s prosperity work (albeit a large one). She had other, smaller successes along the way—and some startling realizations about herself, her mission in life, and how she fit into the general nature of things. The house was only a material benefit.
Does this mean that scary things are going to happen? No. It just means that once you begin to seriously work prosperity magick, things will be different!
Correspondences
Most magickal applications contain correspondences. Correspondences are items or energies that relate to the focus of the issue. In this book, our focus is on prosperity. Throughout the book I’ve provided various correspondences for each spell. I’ve also given you a few lists in the appendices to aid you in substitutions as you learn to write your own spells.
Correspondences include: planetary hours, deities, herbs, oils, planets, totem animals, magickal alphabets, phases of the moon, colors, and elements. Remember, you don’t have to use all the correspondences I mention in any spell. If you’re not into angels, then don’t use those listed. If you don’t particularly like to use plant energies, then don’t use them. Substitutions are acceptable. I am simply presenting you with the wide range of choices that have worked for me.
Timing
How long will it take your spell to manifest?
• Small goals normally (but not always) manifest faster than large goals, usually within thirty days (or moon to moon).
• Larger goals (buying a house or a car, enhancing your career) may take longer. To give you an example, a group of test subjects using the material in this book manifested their goals by working several spells spaced over time (this is called “building”) and reaped the following benefits:
Angela—house—6 weeks
George—house—4 weeks
Sheila—house—6 months
Linda—published her book—3 months
Pat—job promotion—2 months
Harry—curbed spending habits—5 months
• The old teachers said, “Do a spell, then forget it.” These teachers meant: do the spell, but don’t worry about it. Feeding negative thoughts into your spellwork will defeat your purpose. If you worry about the manifestation of the spell, then you create blocks in the path of that manifestation, and it will take longer to make things happen. Magick follows the path of least resistance so, unless you have a reason for guiding the magick along a particular line of thought, just let the magick go.
• Don’t try to direct your spell too much. Let’s say you need money, but you’ve tried every way possible in the regular world with no success. Now you want to do magick. If you think that the only way money will come to you is through the means you have already tried, you will fail. Leave the path to money up to Spirit, or Divinity. You should still keep working in the “real world” to help manifest your desires, too.
• Keep in mind that your own creativity and needs carry important weight in spellcasting. If today is Sunday and the spell calls for completion on a Monday, but you really need to do the spell today, then go ahead and do the spell today. If the spell calls for a supply that you don’t have, that’s okay. Substitute something else.
Learning to Devise a Spiritual Plan
Throwing magick at a problem or goal isn’t the ultimate answer to our problems. Magickal people think carefully before choosing a magickal technique or spell. You need to consider an entire plan of action, of which magick becomes a part. Yes, a spell can take only a few minutes to do, and a prayer a moment or two to utter, but without a complete spiritual plan, you may be throwing snowflakes at a campfire. A complete spiritual plan includes:
• Logical thought about the goal or situation.
• Considering how your actions, both magickal and mundane, will affect the outcome of the goal, situation, or other people.
• Building positive reinforcement around you.
• Reprogramming your mind to accept success through thought, word, and action.
• Involving Divinity as much as possible in what you do.
I know all this seems a little complicated for something like a simple spell, but if we learn to plan wisely, we have a better chance for success. Many of the spells in this book can be linked together to help you design a spiritual plan.
