We need money to pay the bills, obtain food, and have shelter. We have all had financial worries at some point or another. Some people struggle with earning enough money or are out of work. Other people may have unexpected expenses come up in their lives, like medical or repair bills. All of these issues cause stress, and too much stress can lead to illness. The following spells will help bring about a healthier bank balance and more peace of mind. Do be warned, though\u2014casting spells for money will only bring about what a person actually needs, rather than what they desire: <i>Never spellcast for greed, only for what you need<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t<!--\n\t\t@page { margin: 0.79in }\n\t\tP { margin-bottom: 0.08in }\n\t-->\n\t<\/style>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Money-Packet Wish Spell<\/span><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Materials<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 pen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 green candle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 sheet of paper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">5 coins (4 pennies and 1 quarter, or for other currencies 5 silver coins will work fine)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">40 inches (100 cm) thin green ribbon (giftwrapping style is fine)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Ritual<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Using the pen, inscribe the wax of the candle with the word \u201cmoney,\u201d and then, using the same pen, write the word \u201cmoney\u201d on the paper. Go on to write all of the things you need the money for, using as much detail as possible. For example, if you need extra funds to pay the bills, write clearly in capital letters:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">GAS BILL, ELECTRIC BILL, MORTGAGE PAYMENT, DENTAL BILL,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As you write out your needs, pour your emotions into the paper. Place the coins on top of the paper, and light the green candle next to it. Say this spell seven times:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: large;\">Like the trees growing free,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Prosperity there shall be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Keeping the coinage inside, start to fold the paper toward you, turning and folding the paper around the coins until you can\u2019t fold it anymore. Take the green ribbon and wrap it around the packet. With every three rotations of the ribbon-wrapping, turn the packet toward you and chant these words seven times:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: large;\">Money flowing free,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Prosperity there shall be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Money worries gone from me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When the packet is almost completely covered with the ribbon, use what\u2019s leftover to secure it with a knot. Drip wax from the candle onto the knot to seal the spell. Let the candle burn down, and bury any remains from it at the root of a tree near your home. Place the packet in your wallet or purse, or carry it in your pocket with you every day. If you wear a skirt or a dress, take a safety pin and pin the packet to the inside of your skirt or dress. Keep the packet with you until the money issues at hand have resolved. Then dispose of the packet at a crossroads or under a tree near your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t<!--\n\t\t@page { margin: 0.79in }\n\t\tP { margin-bottom: 0.08in }\n\t-->\n\t<\/style>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><b><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Money-Tea Spell<\/span><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Materials<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Saucepan filled with water<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sharp knife<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 green candle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Copy of a utility bill or job application; anything that represents the need<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mortar and pestle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1?4 teaspoon finely chopped<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">chamomile flowers, either fresh or as dried tea (in a tea bag or loose)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1?4 teaspoon finely chopped goldenrod, either fresh or as dried tea (in a tea bag or loose)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Strainer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mug or cup<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 tablespoon sugar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2 teaspoons honey<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Candleholder<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Ritual<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Put the pan of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
