02 — Working methods
Practices
Four core techniques used across ceremonial and folk prosperity work. Each outline is a starting structure, not a fixed script — adapt the correspondences (color, herb, symbol) to whichever spirit or tradition you're working with.
Prosperity Sigil Craft
Turning an intention — "steady income," "the debt clears," "this deal closes" — into a single glyph you can carry, burn, or draw on a candle.
- Write the statement plainly. Present tense, no negatives: "money flows to me easily," not "I stop struggling with money."
- Strip repeated letters. Write out the remaining unique letters in order.
- Compose the glyph. Overlay the letterforms into a single continuous shape — traditionally on a Rose Cross grid, but a plain sheet works.
- Charge it. On a Jupiter day or hour (see Timing), focus on the sigil until the original sentence dissolves from awareness — the standard sign it's been absorbed rather than merely read.
- Release or carry it. Burn it to release the working, or carry/keep it visible to reinforce it daily.
Prosperity Candle Work
The most common entry point into money magick — a single dressed candle burned with intent.
- Choose the candle. Green for growth, gold for direct wealth, or white as a universal substitute.
- Dress it. Anoint with a prosperity oil (traditionally cinnamon, basil, or bergamot base) working from the middle outward — toward you to draw in, away from you to send out.
- Inscribe it. Carve your sigil, a name, or a dollar figure into the wax.
- Anchor it. Set on a small dish with a coin, a pinch of cinnamon, or a bay leaf beneath it.
- Burn with intent, ideally on a Thursday or during a Jupiter hour, letting it finish completely if possible.
Money Mojo Bag
A small carried charm bag — the folk-magic parallel to the ceremonial sigil, built from material correspondence rather than symbol alone.
- Choose the cloth. Green or gold flannel, roughly hand-sized.
- Select the contents. Common inclusions: a lodestone (to draw), magnetic sand (to feed it), a coin, cinnamon, and a personal token such as a bill fragment or written name.
- Assemble and knot. Gather the contents, tie the bag closed with an odd number of knots (commonly nine), naming the intent at each knot.
- Feed it. Traditionally "fed" a few drops of prosperity oil or whiskey on a regular schedule to keep the working active.
- Carry it on your person, or keep it near where money is handled — a register, a desk, a wallet.
Abundance Bath
A cleansing working aimed at clearing blockage before a prosperity ritual, rather than drawing money directly.
- Prepare the herbs. A simmered infusion of basil, mint, and cinnamon, strained into bathwater.
- Add a mineral element. A small piece of citrine or pyrite placed in the water, removed before draining.
- Bathe with direction. Wash from the shoulders downward — away from the body — to strip blockage, then rinse with clean water to seal.
- Follow immediately with a sigil or candle working while the clearing is fresh, ideally within the same day.
Traditionally performed the evening before a Jupiter day, so the following working begins on cleared ground.
