The Use Of Magickal Techniques For Gaining Wealth

What do people think of using magickal techniques in order to gain wealth?

It seems to be a given that many (if not most) practitioners of the magickal arts and sciences regard the acquisition of material wealth as being an activity that is "beneath" them. It's as if material possessions and creature comforts will somehow sully their spirituality. Or at least distract them away from more spiritual pursuits. But all of us who have ever known want (which is just about everybody) will at least occasionally wistfully express a desire for the freedom from that 'want' that the 'root of all evil' can bring.

I'd venture to say that most participants would like to think of themselves as having loftier goals then mere material wealth. And it's pretty much true (I like to think of myself that way!) "Money spells" and the like are called LOW MAGICK workings and thought of with contempt. However, I've always had little respect for someone who claims to be an adept magician but can't afford to eat properly. These people have no appreciation for the advantages that an adequate income can contribute toward their spiritual projects.

Over the last six months, I've been working on some magickal theory and practice intended to bring wealth and it seems to be yielding results. I can't say it's made me "rich" (yet!), but it has taken me from joblessness and near-homelessness to a comfortable, if not ostentatious financial state. It began as a philosophical discussion with some fellow magicians about the nature of money and wealth which brought out some interesting ideas.

Wealth in ancient times was a matter of land; wealth was measured in acres. So it could be thought o f as being of the nature of Earth. Even when it became gold and other precious materials, it was still of the nature of Earth. Most "money spells" one could find operated from that point-of-view; wealth is "material", therefore "Earth", so the Earth element must be the basis of the magickal work. Just about anyone who composes ritual workings nowadays still proceeds from the same basic assumption without questioning it. So we questioned it. And came up with the idea that the nature of wealth has changed just as money itself has changed – from land to gold to paper to plastic to bits in a data stream.

Money is no longer of the nature of Earth, it is of the nature of Air.

Like Air it is ethereal; difficult to grasp and mostly unseen. Above all, it likes to "move". Money in motion replicates itself. Money hoarded slowly dies. Of what use is money that is never spent?

We also raided questions about exactly what "wealth" really is. It is more then mere cash on hand. Even having cash on hand is not an accurate indicator of "Wealth" (with a capital "W"). The all-too common stories of the lottery winners who end up broke again a year later are good examples of what happens to those who don't "believe" that they "deserve" to have money. They prove it – the money runs away from them! On the other hand, a stockbroker who works herself into a heart attack, mercilessly driving herself day after day for the dubious reward of drinking herself into a stupor on expensive booze, in front of a fabulous home entertainment center every night, can be said to have achieved the condition of anti-wealth. This is not Wealth!

True Wealth consciousness pays itself to have a good time. Misers are a miserable lot, regardless of how much cash is in the mattress. If you hoard money and not share it, it will curse you with anti-wealth.

Wealth is ultimately the control of resources. If you drive a company car (and take it home with you every night) the Wealth of that car is "yours", regardless of whose name is on the pink slip. My employers "gave" me a Mac Color Classic as a "company computer". I didn't "buy" it, but for all intents and purposes, it's "mine". It's Wealth is mine.

But most "spiritual" types have disdainful attitudes toward money that merely serves to drive money away from them. Money has attained the status of a spiritual entity; like all entities it has it's likes and dislikes. Respect it, value it, and provide it with a conduit by which it can "move" and it will flow toward you naturally. Treat it with antipathy and it will flee your presence. Invite it to come to you, believe yourself worthy of it's blessings and it will seek you out. Spend, share and reinvest it with relish and it will replicate endlessly. When money moves, it is having sex. Make love to money and it procreates.

So in practical terms, how can these realizations be used?

It's important to remember that in order for Money Magick to manifest results, it is necessary to provide that "conduit" for the money to flow to you. Giving a magickal 'push' to a business venture is far more likely to yield results then trying to divine lottery numbers. Even worse, if you don't provide money an easy access route to your life, your magickal working may end up getting disastrous results – i.e. you get a million dollars....from the lawsuit over the accident that left you crippled for life!

I'll share with you the first Money Magick working my partner and I came up with that yielded VERY rapid results – within a few days of the working I got a call out of the blue offering me a ridiculously high paying job.

Many old occult writings promote the technique of "sacrificing" a dollar bill as part of a money-attracting spell. We didn't like the idea – it was too related to the old "sacrificial" style of Earth-magick. (In the old days, lambs and/or wheat sheaves, the symbols of Earth-based wealth, were sacrificed to gain more of the same in the future.) However, the dollar bill itself has been etherically charged to the _max_ by the general population as a "talisman" for a hundred years. It's perfect for symbolic magick purposes.

Exploring the premises that like attracts like, and that money likes to move, we took a dollar bill and devised a tallimantic sigil for the "spirit of Money" and inscribed it on the bill. (I should mention that at the time, it was very nearly the last dollar we had to our name.) The bill was then magically charged (we used sexual magick techniques for the charging, again demonstrating the age-old link between sex/money/power as a talisman.

For the next several days, we used the bill to "pay each other for anything we did for each other"! He'd get up to answer the phone and I'd pay him. I'd get him a glass of water and he's pay me. We paid each other for sex. That dollar bill changed hands several times an hour. This little game had the curious effect of making each o f us feel more "worthy" of "getting paid". After a few days of this the phone call came through from an old connection in my profession who "thought of me out of the blue" when a job prospect came up that was perfect for me. The money sensed the frenzied motion and came running! Afterwards, we gave the dollar to a homeless person, combining the idea of "sacrifice" with the idea of "keep it circulating"!

Blessed Be and keep it flowing!

Magickal Workings And Helpful Hints

Helpful Hint

Usually when I'm doing a spell I use quiet music like Enya or Renaissance. It helps to set the mood of the spell.

Magickal Working

To remove a wart, first thing in the morning when you wake up, take saliva from your mouth and rub it onto the wart. This will gradually remove your wart, remember to say a prayer of thanks to the Goddess and God.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to morning breath.

Helpful Hint

I have found an interesting little spell that has helped me numerous time in the cold weather to heat up. First, visualize a glowing ball of pure energy above you (if you visualize the ball being your favorite color it helps too). Next, visualize the ball transcending into your body and stopping in the center of your torso. Then, visualize streams of the energy going off into all parts of your body.

Helpful Hint

To invoke the beauty inside.

First go into the bathroom or a place with running water, then picture all the things that you think make you not like yourself. Picture all these things running down your arm and onto the palm of your hands. Put your hands in the water and scrub away the negative things you thought of. This will make you feel better and brings out your beauty.

Secret

A Prayer For Ridding Negative Thinking

O Goddess within;
O God within;
O Goddess of the Moon, the Waters and the Earth;
O God of the Sun, the Forests and the Mountains:
I need to feel Your presence.
I need to be reminded of You.
Assist me to remember Your lessons;
Show me the key that will unlock my spirituality.
Blessed Be.

Helpful Hint

Traffic Lights

Here is one that helps traffic lights stay green.

Count of one this spell begun
Count of two all traffic lights in tune
Count of three all lights stay green for me
1...2...3
Then hit the seat three times and then say:
So Mote It Be!

Secret

Moon Cloud

After the break of dawn, if the sky is pink, go outside and face east. You may notice what appears to be a large crescent moon above a certain number of smaller moons. They look sort of like clouds, but you know they are not. However many of moons you see that is the number of other new witches you may meet in person that day.

Secret

We're Not Satan Worshippers

Many people think that witches or whatever you'd like to call yourself for worshipping the great mother and the horned one, are Satan worshippers. I beg to differ because I read something that proves all who believe we are Satan worshippers wrong. "To worship Satan or the devil, you must first believe in his great counter part God." Therefore, since we worship the goddess and god and I believe that there are no evil super powers then I plea to all others to consider this as well. Blessed be, and good luck.

How To Use Magick With A Straight Face 2 Power

Power can be a very misleading term. The way most people mean it is in the sense of "power-over." People recognize power as the ability to get others to do what you want, especially when these others have different ideas. This is not Power (with a capital 'P') at all. When you rely on someone else to do something for you, you give your Power to him. This is very different from doing something *with* someone, then both parties gain. But, to believe that you must force or trick another is to say that you need this person to do something that you cannot. You may steal their power (lower case) but you give away your Power.

Power is, among other things, the innate ability to bring whatever you truly desire into your life. When you "make" others manifest them for you, you create blocks in your own mind. These blocks say "I cannot do this myself," which obstructs your Power. This is "giving away your Power."

When you "take your Power," you accept responsibility for your life. This is not guilt or martyrdom, it is honestly assessing your life and recognizing your successes and failures. Give yourself credit for even the smallest success and recognize that you can overcome every obstacle. Then you allow your Power to express itself. What you need comes to you; projects work for you.

We often think of many obstacles as insurmountable. For instance, many believe the lottery to be their only desperate hope of escaping poverty. Such people give away their Power. And why shouldn't they? Everything they've experienced tells them this. Our whole society is rooted in the mechanistic paradigm (all causes and effects have a physical link), which precludes a belief in Power. How is one to know that this concept works? How can this be real when it is so different from what we are used to?

Our society has a concept of "Reality" as an objective existence of which we are all a part. When two people have different ideas of the nature of some detail, then at least one is Wrong. We all have a fear of being Wrong. When we are Wrong we miss out on things and people don't like us as much. Therefore we desperately strive to be Right. It turns out that Right is what ever those around you happen to feel that it should be. It's as if they all took a vote when you were out of the room. But "Right" changes all the time: from preservatives are harmless, to preservatives cause cancer; from Stalin is a great leader, to Stalin was a monster; from Ptolemy explains the forces of the universe perfectly, to Newton explains the forces of the universe perfectly, to Einstein explains the forces of the universe perfectly. The philosophy of science this calls this evolving better (or at least different) explanations. Yet, while these ideas hold sway, people call them "Reality."

Just how reliable is Reality? We all live our lives using our individual concepts of Reality to get along. We update them as we see fit. But few will fundamentally change their concepts. We are sure that, although we may not have the details, we certainly have a feel for the basics. Anyone who disagrees with the mechanistic paradigm, for instance, must be missing at least a few marbles. Such a person is irrational in a universe that we know to be rational.

But is the universe truly rational? Science has pursued the mechanistic paradigm down to the smallest scale, particle physics; here it fails to explain the universe. The building blocks of Reality do not behave rationally. If you drive a car from one side of a mountain to the other and you have a choice of two tunnels, you will drive through one of them. If a single electron has a choice of two holes in a plate to pass through, it will go through both. You can plot the speed and position of your car to the limit of the accuracy of your instruments, but you will never be able to do both to that electron.

When you observe this mythical car, it is a solid object. If it were not, it would not be a car. If you drove it around, then tested to see if the car were not solid and discovered that it wasn't, what would you think? Around the turn of the century, scientists figured out that light acts like a wave when you test for a wave, and like a particle when you test for a particle. In the regular world it must be one *or* the other. The two are as mutually exclusive as a non-solid car that you can none the less drive. Mysteriously, light was behaving like both. Eventually, scientists concluded that light doesn't work like the universe we are used to. The act of observing light defines its character.

This is called wave-particle duality. Later in the century, scientists found that atomic particles, the building blocks of all matter, behave this way, too.

Now imagine that you can find no evidence that this car crosses the space between where you see it and where you saw it last. Suppose the car isn't actually "there" when you're not looking-- the act of looking brings it into "existence." What would you think if noticed that your expectations seem to have an effect on where it turns out to be? This is awfully strange, but it is the kind of universe that particle physicists find. "Looking at" a subatomic particle "brings it into existence." Also, scientists are finding that whatever kind of particle they expect to find in an experiment, tends to be there. This is starting to look less like brilliant theory and more like an effect of the observers. They are no longer separate from their experiments. It turns out that the universe doesn't actually work the way we've always assumed it does.

This is the nature of matter on the smallest scale, and it doesn't make sense in every day life. This does not mean that we should abandon our present ideas of how to live. Keep what works ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it"). Particle physics won't affect how you drive through tunnels, for instance. But, if you accept physics, the epitome of the mechanistic paradigm, this means that our mechanistic ideas of how the universe works are fundamentally incomplete. In other words, the mechanistic paradigm is not the whole story.

Big deal. What does this mean in a practical sense? The world seems to work just the same as it did when the mechanistic paradigm was unchallenged. But what if our preconceptions dictate what we are aware of? It is a common trick to set up a group of people for startling event and see how many will overlook a strange inconsistency. In one instance, a teacher took a student off into an adjoining room on a pretext. There was the sound of an argument and a crash and the student ran out through the room.

One of the other students suspected a set up and she was the only one who noticed that the teacher's accomplice was carrying a bone. A much more dramatic example is the story of Magellan's ships. When the explorer landed on a particular island, the natives, who had never seen europeans before, recognized them as funny looking men in funny looking little boats. But Magellan soon found that the natives were unaware of the large ships that carried them there, though they were impossible to overlook. The natives had seen men and small boats before, but they had never seen a large ship. Such a thing was outside of their experience and therefore outside of their comprehension. Their eyes must have seen the ships, but their brains did not. he natives gathered to try to see them, staring intently at where they supposed to be anchored. Soon the local shaman could discern the barest outline which he described to the others. Eventually they could all perceive ships.

Who can say what we make ourselves unaware of? It is only after we've expanded our perception that we learn how limited it was before. But we can't go around indiscriminately "expanding our consciousness." What we choose to believe is based on our desires. If you are happy with what you believe, the is no reason to change. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Change is challenging and even if you succeed, it may well be unpleasant. But if you feel unable to overcome obstacles in your life (and you *really* want to), then you have nothing to loose. Magick will only expand possibilities. If it's all a crock, you've lost nothing. If it's true, you can do anything you're willing to work for. It is a draw-win situation. The only way you can lose is to make your choice out of fear. Don't let the opinions of others influence what you choose to believe. Don't give away your Power. Everyone else is in the same situation you are, so when it comes to your own life, there is no greater authority than yourself. If you're interested in magick, try it and see for yourself if it works for you.
