Money Spell: Complete Spell Guide, Materials & Ritual Steps
When financial struggle feels like it’s following you, a money spell can be a transformative tool to shift your relationship with abundance. This intermediate-level ritual is designed to attract wealth, open new channels for income, and dissolve the invisible blocks that keep prosperity at arm’s length. Whether you’re facing unexpected expenses, building toward a dream, or simply ready to align your financial reality with your desires, this spell invites the universe to partner with your intentions.
What Is the Money Spell?
A money spell is a focused magical practice that harnesses the energy of intention, natural elements, and sympathetic magic to draw financial abundance into your life. Unlike wishful thinking, spellwork operates through the principle of as within, so without—by shifting your internal energy and beliefs about money, you create ripples in the external world that attract prosperity.
This particular abundance spell combines the amplifying power of citrine (known as the “merchant’s stone”), the protective and manifesting energy of green candles, and aromatic herbs that have been used for centuries in prosperity witchcraft. The ritual works by:
- Clearing mental and energetic blocks around worthiness and wealth
- Aligning your vibration with abundance consciousness
- Signaling to the universe that you’re ready to receive
- Creating a magical container for your intention to grow
When to Cast This Money Spell
Timing amplifies your money spell‘s potency. The most auspicious moments include:
- Waxing moon (new moon to full moon) — ideal for drawing things toward you
- Full moon — maximum manifestation power and clarity
- Thursday — ruled by Jupiter, planet of expansion and good fortune
- During the hour of Jupiter — if you work with planetary hours
- When you’re feeling energetically aligned — never cast from a place of desperation; call from a place of worthiness
You can also cast this spell whenever you need a financial boost, such as before a job interview, business launch, or important negotiation.
Materials You Will Need
Gather these items before you begin. Having everything prepared keeps your energy focused and your ritual uninterrupted:
- Green candle — the color of money, growth, and green candle money magic
- Citrine crystal — a high-vibration stone that amplifies citrine wealth and prosperity consciousness
- Bay leaf — traditionally used for success and manifestation
- Cinnamon — adds warmth, speed, and magnetic power to your spell
- Dried basil — brings grounding energy and protection to your financial journey
- A coin — represents the wealth you’re calling in (use your local currency)
- Green string or thread — binds your intention together
- An abundance sigil — a personal symbol representing your financial goals
Best Moon Phase & Timing
The waxing moon phase (growing from new to full) is optimal for this money spell. This lunar period naturally supports drawing things toward you—much like the moon’s light grows each night. If you’re working during a waning moon, you can adapt the spell to focus on releasing financial blocks and old patterns instead.
Cast your spell during daylight if possible, as the sun’s energy adds vitality and visibility to your intention. Alternatively, casting in the evening as the sun sets creates a beautiful transition from the old (financial struggle) to the new (abundance).
Step-by-Step Ritual Instructions
Follow these steps with intention and presence. Remember: your belief and focus are the most powerful ingredients in any spell.
- Create sacred space. Light your green candle and place it in front of you. As it ignites, imagine a sphere of green light expanding around you—this is your protected, sacred workspace. You might say aloud: “This space is blessed and aligned with abundance.”
- Hold the citrine. Take your citrine crystal in your dominant hand. Feel its coolness, its weight, its potential. The citrine wealth energy activates as you hold it with intention. Spend a moment connecting—imagine the sun’s golden light flowing through the stone directly into your heart.
- Prepare your herbs. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, dried basil, and bay leaf. As you blend them, focus on your intention: “These herbs carry the power of abundance. They call wealth to me in easy, natural ways.”
- Write or visualize your sigil. If you haven’t already, draw your abundance sigil on a piece of paper. This can be as simple as intertwining dollar signs, or as complex as a personalized magical symbol. Your intention matters more than artistic skill.
- Layer your spell components. Place the coin at the center of your abundance sigil. Sprinkle the herb mixture around it. Position the citrine on top. This creates a physical representation of your intention—material wealth (coin), energetic support (herbs), and crystalline amplification (citrine).
- Bind with intention. Wrap the green string around all components three times, moving clockwise (the direction of increase and manifestation). With each wrap, speak your affirmation aloud (see below for examples). The string physically binds your intention into reality.
- Hold over the flame. Carefully pass your bound bundle through the green candle’s flame (not directly into it—safety first!). Feel the warmth activate the spell. Say: “By fire, by earth, by air, by sea, abundance flows now toward me.”
- Sit in stillness. Hold the bundle to your heart for at least five minutes. Close your eyes and feel what it’s like to be financially abundant. Don’t visualize struggling or striving—embody the feeling of already being wealthy, secure, and provided for.
- Trust and release. Place your bundle in a safe place where it won’t be disturbed—an altar, a drawer, under your pillow, or buried in your garden. The spell continues working even when you’re not looking at it. This is crucial: release attachment to the outcome. Trust that the work is done.
- Let the candle burn down. Allow your green candle to burn completely (or at least for several hours if it’s a large candle). Each moment it burns, it’s working on your behalf, sending your intention out into the universe.
Affirmations & Incantation
Use these affirmations while casting your money spell. Speak them with conviction, as if they’re already true:
- “I am worthy of abundance and financial ease.”
- “Money flows to me in expected and unexpected ways.”
- “I release all blocks to prosperity. I am open to receiving.”
- “My financial reality aligns with my highest good.”
- “Abundance is my natural state of being.”
Or use this incantation during your ritual:
“By green flame and citrine’s glow,
By earth and herb, let riches flow.
By coin and string and sigil’s mark,
I call abundance, light the dark.
What’s blocked now opens, what’s closed breaks free,
Prosperity flows now toward me.
By will and magic, so it’s done,
Abundance comes to everyone.”
How to Close the Spell
Closing your spell is as important as opening it. It signals completion and locks your intention into place.
Once your candle has burned down, thank the elements, the crystals, and the universe for their support. You might say: “Thank you for answering my call. This spell is sealed. It is done.” Ground yourself by eating something, drinking water, or placing your hands on the earth.
You can keep your bound bundle as a talisman—a physical reminder of your intention and magical work. Some witches place it on their altar; others carry it. Trust your intuition.
Signs the Spell Is Working
After casting your money spell, stay alert for signs that it’s activating:
- Unexpected income (a refund, inheritance, found money)
- New job offers or opportunities for higher pay
- Increased confidence about finances
- Synchronicities related to money or abundance
- Shifts in your mindset—fewer anxiety spirals, more trust
- People offering help or resources you need
- Dreams about wealth or prosperity
Remember: magic works with the physical world, not instead of it. Remain open to opportunities, apply for jobs, negotiate raises, and take inspired action. Your spell opens doors; you walk through them.
Safety, Ethics & Consent
This abundance spell is ethical because it harms no one. You’re not pulling money from others or creating debt—you’re simply aligning yourself with prosperity that’s already flowing through the universe. However, keep these principles in mind:
- Never cast a money spell to harm someone’s finances. Harmful magic creates karmic consequences.
- Don’t expect magic to replace work. The universe supports those who support themselves.
- Be specific about your intention. Vague spells create vague results. Do you want a raise? A new business? Passive income? Be clear.
- Check your mindset. If you’re casting from desperation or lack consciousness, the spell will struggle to work. Cultivate worthiness first.
Common Variations
Once you’ve mastered this money spell, you can adapt it:
- For business success: Add a business card or name of your company to the bundle.
- For job hunting: Include a copy of your resume or the job title you’re seeking.
- For debt relief: Reframe as a waning moon spell focused on releasing financial burden.
- For investment growth: Add stock certificates or account statements.
- For long-term wealth: Bury the bundle and let it work underground—deep, sustained, grounded magic.
The beauty of prosperity witchcraft is its flexibility. Your intuition is valid. If you feel called to add rose quartz for self-love around money, or moonstone for intuitive financial decisions, trust that guidance.
Final Thoughts
Casting a money spell is an act of self-love and self-trust. It says: “I deserve abundance. The universe supports me. I am worthy of prosperity.” These beliefs, more than any ritual, are what transform your financial reality.
As you go forward, carry the energy of your spell with you. When doubt creeps in, remember the intention you set, the herbs you burned, the citrine you held, the green flame that witnessed your commitment. You’ve already done the magical work. Now align your actions, your thoughts, and your energy with that intention.
The universe is waiting to meet you halfway. Your money spell is the invitation. Will you be ready to receive?
FAQ
What is the best time to cast a money spell?
The most powerful timing is during a waxing moon (especially at full moon) on a Thursday, which is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good fortune. You should also ensure you’re casting from a place of worthiness and alignment rather than desperation, as this amplifies the spell’s effectiveness.
What crystal is best for money spells?
Citrine is the ideal crystal for money spells, known as the ‘merchant’s stone’ for its ability to attract wealth and abundance. Its amplifying power works synergistically with the other elements of the ritual to draw financial prosperity toward you.
How do money spells work?
Money spells operate through the principle of ‘as within, so without’—by shifting your internal energy and beliefs about money through focused intention and natural elements, you create ripples in the external world that attract prosperity. The ritual clears energetic blocks around worthiness, aligns your vibration with abundance consciousness, and signals to the universe that you’re ready to receive.
Can I cast a money spell during any moon phase?
While you can cast a money spell anytime you need a financial boost (like before a job interview or business launch), the waxing moon phase from new moon to full moon is ideal for drawing things toward you. The full moon offers maximum manifestation power and clarity for abundance work.
Is a money spell different from an abundance spell?
A money spell is a type of abundance spell that specifically focuses on attracting financial wealth and income. Both work through similar principles of intention and energy alignment, but money spells are targeted specifically toward financial prosperity rather than abundance in general forms.
