Ritual for opening pathways to increasing financial abundance. Particularly useful when someone else appears to be holding the keys to your success. Can be done when wanting to have the upper hand in matters of salary and negotiation, especially while applying for a job or a loan. Also very beneficial before making large purchases, such as a home, car, investments, etc.
A physical representation of what it is you are trying to manifest or experience, such as the job listing, bank loan papers, car, etc.
Piece of paper
Wise Woman Prosperity Ritual Instructions
Best Time to Perform:
This ritual should be performed for a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 8 days. The more energy you put out, the more positive change and magick you will experience. Perform within eight days before the Full Moon, with the final repetition on the day of the Full Moon. Preferably right before, during, or slightly after the sunrise. The rising energy of the sun will propel your work.
Allow 45 minutes to perform this spell, including candle burn time.
Ritual Instructions:
Find a quiet space and time where you will not be disturbed.
As with all spellwork, your altar surface must be fireproof. Set all materials within close reach in your ritual space. You should be able to reach everything while remaining in one place. Once the ritual has started, you should not leave the sacred space until you have finished the ritual.
Take a deep breath and allow your body and your mind to relax.
Breathe out stress, breathe in joy.
Breathe out worry, breathe in comfort.
Breathe out tension, breathe in serenity.
Step 1: On the piece of paper, write out exactly what you wish to manifest in present terms, such as already having the job you're applying for or obtaining approval for a loan. If you have a photo of what you wish to manifest (printed job listing and your resume, for instance), place it underneath this paper.
Step 2: Pick up one Ritual Candle and slowly roll it between the palms of your hands, as you recite your full written statement 8 times. Beeswax absorbs and expands energy incredibly well, which is why we use pure beeswax candles for all rituals. The candle must become warm from the heat of your hands and your energy.
Step 3: While the Ritual Candle is still warm, lay it across the statement paper and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of Orris Root Powder and Master of the Woods Powder over the candle.
Firmly roll the candle over the statement paper, distributing the herbs evenly throughout the statement paper. This important action allows the herbs to fully adhere to the beeswax, as well as pick up the energies of the statement paper.
Step 4: Hold the candle with one hand, take a deep breath, say your written statement aloud, and light the herb-dusted Ritual Candle.
Step 5: Hold the Ritual Candleat a 45-degree angle directly over the center of the statement paper. Allow the wax to drip 4-5 drops over the paper, creating a small pool of wax in the center. While the wax is still melted, stick the candle directly into the pool of wax and hold it for about 5 seconds until the center hardens just a bit, and the candle is standing upright without any assistance.
Note: It may take you a couple of times to get the hang of this, but once you do, it will become a permanent part of your spellwork repertoire.
Step 6: Stare through the flame of the candle. Your gaze should soften and become out of focus. Your senses of sight and sound will drown out for just a few seconds.
Recite your manifestation statement 8 times.
Sit quietly in meditation, feeling the energy and resonance of that which you wish to attract come towards you. With your mind's eye, see these positive influences and the desirable energies coming to you.
Step 7: As the candle burns, light the Rosemary Smudge Bundle from the flame of the candle. Allow the smoke to envelop your body. Make sure to allow the smoke to (safely) cover the top of your head, bottoms of your feet, and shoulders.
Step 8: Allow the candle to burn down fully.
If the flame catches the paper on fire, quickly blow it out. DO NOT allow the fire to consume the entire paper. A tiny center flame is perfectly fine to blow out.
The Ritual Candle will typically extinguish itself in its own pool of wax. Despite this, never leave the candle burning unattended.
Step 9: Place this piece of paper under your bed (or mattress) for 28 days.
Step 10: After 28 days, bury the paper in your backyard, in the pot of a healthy houseplant, or at the base of a healthy large tree (such as in the park or the woods).
How long until you see the results?
Although this varies based on what you are manifesting, many will see significant results within 48 hours.
Allow a full moon cycle of 29 nights to see the verifiable results of your ritual. Interesting serendipities will begin to happen.Most people report suddenly "being lucky" as well as finding themselves in the right place, at the right time, with the right people.
This ritual is suitable for monthly repetition based on new or long-term ambitions.
Old World Moon Phases
The Moon is of key importance for the Old World Witch. The Moon and its cycle (increase and decrease) impact the potency of rituals and their successes. The Moon amplifies rituals and works in harmony with the energies exerted by the Witch.
As Old World Witches, we utilize elemental forces for magick and mystical significance of the natural world and its fauna and flora: Esoteric knowledge. Lore of healing. Energetic resonance of herbs and roots. And, of course, the Moon.
The Old World Witch does not follow the exact terminology and specifications of modern astrologers and astronomers. We maintain the visual interpretation and energies of the Moon, as explained below.
When the Moon cannot be seen and is in the dark phase, it is referred to as the Dark Moon in Old World Witchcraft. Modern astronomers and astrologers call this darkness the New Moon because the cycle of the Moon is about to restart.
Old World Witches are not the only ones who follow this Dark Moon terminology. Several ancient cultures (such as Islam) define this period as the end of the month and the very first crescent of the Moon (Witch's New Moon) as the beginning of the month.
The Witch's Dark Moon is a night of stillness, contemplation, and banishment. The only types of rituals that should be done on the Dark Moon are banishment work or curses/hexes. The Dark Moon is also ideal for all kinds of divination and working with the departed.
The Moon is energetically at its lowest point and is more conducive to the mentioned rituals.
Witch's New Moon (first crescent)
The New Moon of the Old World Witch is called the Witch's New Moon. It is when the very first crescent or sliver of the Moon is visible. This is typically 2-3 nights after the Dark Moon.
With some variations, the Witch's New Moon rises in the daytime before noon and becomes visible in the day sky. It will be most visible at sunset and usually sets well before midnight. The Witch's New Moon is the same percentage all over the world - both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. However, the tips of the Witch's New Moon point depend on the time, date, and location on Earth.
The Witch's New Moon is the ideal time to begin rituals that draw a life experience, physical possession, or situation to you. This can be for love, money, health, or personal development.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. Starting rituals three nights after the Dark Moon will give you exactly 12 days of rituals leading up to the Full Moon.
The Witch's New Moon is also the ideal time to begin a new venture, get married, apply for a job, or embark on a journey.
The same energetic attributes apply throughout the Waxing Moon, all the way up to the Full Moon.
Full Moon
The Full Moon is not only the most magickally potent and powerful time of the month, but it is also the most physically stimulating. As the Moon affects the ocean tides, so too does it affect our bodies. If you pay close attention to your body, you may have noticed that you may feel extra swollen or puffy on the mornings leading up to the full Moon and a couple of days thereafter. These are the days of maxi dresses, undereye concealer, and perhaps an inclination to wear fewer rings on your fingers.
Rituals are best performed for 3-12 consecutive days. This is what leads to powerful, lasting, and most importantly, measurable results. If you have been performing rituals leading up to the Full Moon, consider the night of the Full Moon the climax of your ritual.
The Full Moon signifies the cultivation of goals, the peak of a cycle, and emotional fulfillment. The Full Moon is best used to draw something into your life, such as love, financial prosperity, or self-development.
If, however, you are choosing not to perform any magick on the night of the Full Moon, simply sitting under the moon rays and energetically absorbing the magnetism will reawaken and revitalize your spirit.
Waning Moon
As the Moon wanes, the energy becomes particularly useful for ending various relationships, habits and overcoming hurdles.
Whether you're having a difficult time leaving an unsuitable relationship or are trying to eliminate negative self-talk, the Waning Moon is perfectly capable and willing to help phase out what is no longer needed or wanted.
In addition to removing negative influences from your life, this is also an appropriate time to cast revenge spells (curses).
The Waning Moon reminds us of things yet to be done and that time is slipping away. Anxiety is usually heightened during this time; therefore, self-care is critical.
