The Sour Child

For all your prosperity needs!

What is a money bowl?

A money bowl is a long term spell that promotes prosperity and success. It’s important to take things out and put new things in to keep up the flow, a stagnant bowl won’t give you the results you want.

First off let’s get into some prosperity associations:

Jupiter - rules prosperity, abundance, and success.

Thursdays! So you may be curious about the first bullet, how do you incorporate Jupiter into your spells. Well Jupiter rules Thursdays making it the perfect time for a prosperity working (other days work as well, and will give different benefits, I highly recommend looking into the days and the week and their associations)

Pentacle cards, the wheel of fortune, and aces

I prefer new or full moons for prosperity workings

Herbs and spices: cinnamon, coffee beans (helps with speed), thyme, mint, shells, rice, cloves, chamomile (I like to use it with the intention of acquiring the money in a peaceful way as well as its prosperity properties), mica powder and many more

Crystals: green aventurine, pyrite, citrine and tigers eye

Gold, silver and green - as well as any colour that represents money to you

What you’ll need

A cleansed bowl

A piece of paper

Writing utensil

Some string

Herbs for prosperity

Crystals for prosperity

Loose change

Gold things, or things you associate wealth with such as glitter or a trinket. I used a fancy gold button for example

A candle (optional)

An oil to dress the candle (also optional)

ALL THE INTENTION

Steps:

This spell requires a petition, which is basically your intentions and what you want from the spell written down on a paper. Think about what you want to do with your money before hand. Are you wanting to save up for something, travel or have a more successful career? How do you want this money? How will this money, and the thing you get with it make you feel? Keep all this in mind as you go through your working

Cleanse your space and materials and cast that circle. Call on your spirits to give you a hand if you wish! I drew a money sigil and a dollar sign on my altar and set the bowl on top of it for my working

Add your ingredients into that bowl, hold them close, sit with them and envision your energy and the ingredients energy mixing in together and put them in the bowl as you tell it what you want it to do for you

Put in your loose change

Write your petition. You can have as many as you please, you can write them three times, sign each one or whatever feels right to you. I write an intention three times, turn the paper to the right, write the next one three times and repeat. I then sign it and put the sigil on the paper. Write your goals like you already have them, “I can afford to live comfortably.” And be specific!

Light your candle.

Fold the paper towards you, turn it to the right and fold again, repeat until it’s small

Wrap the string around it and seal the bundle

Put the bundle in the bowl, and let the candle sit in it (use a holder) sit with your intentions as it burns

Close your working, thank the spirits and break the circle

Work it ;)

Working a Money Bowl:

This spell is all about the flow, take things out and add more things. I do this once a week usually on a Thursday. Doesn’t have to be a crazy offering each week either, throw a cinnamon stick in it, a quarter or light a dedicated candle for it.

I recommend using some ingredients that can be easily removed to keep that flow. Whether you take out, or put in something new is up to you. Do what feels right, keep a balance.

Hope this spell brings all that you wish for! Just remember it’s a slower working (you can use things to speed it up) many people work their bowls for several months to several years! Don’t be disheartened!

Spirit Work is not just working with ghosts, but includes that. Many different cultures believe all forms of life possess spirits including animals and plants. Some common examples of spirits are deities, ghosts, the fae, angels, demons, nymphs, and dragons, although there are countless more.

I’m not here to judge or say don’t do Spirit work, I also practice various forms of it. I simply made this post to bring to light some potentially essential aspects to practicing spirit work for any individual that desires it. As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t. Happy casting!

Spirit Work Precautions:

General Code II:

A spirit does not have to approach you for you to attempt to contact it. However, you can also always reject or end a partnership if you want it to stop, and so can they. Most spirits will understand and be respectful to you if you are back and honest and honorable.

General Code II:

Spirits can tell when you attempt to deceive them, or are being dishonorable towards them. Some spirits can become vengeful if you are absolutely and continuously rude toward them, or warn other spirits of your behavior.

General Code III:

For simplification, practitioners will often use possessive terms when referring to spirits. However, it is an unspoken collective understanding that we do not own them in anyway regardless of the spirit they are or how they present. Spirits are not pets, and you do not collect them. If anything, during a partnership they possess you.

General Code VI:

Be respectful to the spirits, inducing but not limited to dead, the death gods, and the graveyard guardians  Get permission from the groundskeepers and guardians and give an offering (i.e: cleaning trash or leaving coins) if you intend to take from a burial site.

Protection:

I believe you should always ward yourself and space, including the locking or sealing of mirrors. Another significantly helpful action is research and understand binding, banishing, and warding, and unbinding.

Common Spirit work Spells:

I high recommend you research and come to understand how to close and end spells, especially conjuring, invocations, or commutative forms of Divination, even before the anticipated closing.

Forming Bonds:

Establishing a connection with any spirit either through divination, veneration, offerings, prayers, and research should always be practiced before attempting to summon or work with a spirit.
