A Simple, Powerful Money Spell to Attract Abundance

When the world feels shaky, money spells can be one of the most grounding rituals you can do. Not because magic replaces action — but because it anchors you in belief, clarity, and energetic alignment with abundance. It helps you remember that you’re a creator, not just a passive observer of your circumstances.

This money spell is reminder of your ability to shift your reality through intention and inspired action. It’s intended to help you ground yourself in the energy you want to be in to allow things to flow your way.

You don’t need candles, crystals, or herbs for this to work. They just help you stay aligned with your intention. But you do need one thing: a deep belief that you’re worthy of receiving. That’s where most spells fall short. You can’t receive what your subconscious believes is out of reach.

Follow the instructions below to perform a money bowl spell that may help you turn your luck in the right direction and have you feeling more prosperous that before. And, make sure to read what I’ve included after the money spell as setting the stage for it is equally, if not more, important to see results. (Seriously. You really need to make sure you read that part too, love.)

And, as always, trust your intuition.

Step-by-Step Money Spell: How to Make a Money Bowl for Prosperity

Tools for Your Money Spell:

• Green chime candle or bayberry candle
• Small fire-safe bowl
• Basil, mint, cinnamon, salt
• Silver coin
• Green aventurine (optional)
• Paper + pen or bay leaf

How to Perform Your Money Spell:

1. Set your space. Ground yourself with a few deep breaths and visualize your outcome. Do a clearing with salt, smoke, or intention if you feel it’s needed.
2. Place your herbs, coin, and crystal around the bowl and your candle in the center. As you do, focus on what each one symbolizes: basil for prosperity and attracting money, cinnamon for warmth and abundance, mint for swift results, salt for protection, coins for material flow, green aventurine for luck and harmony.
3. Write your financial intention on the paper or bay leaf. Be specific: “I receive $5,000 by this summer through aligned action and unexpected blessings.”
4. Light your candle and meditate on the flame. Visualize your goal vividly so you are embodying the feeling that it’s already present.
5. Burn the paper in the flame and drop it in the bowl.
6. Stay with the candle until it burns out, or snuff it out gently. (Never blow it out — it disrupts the energy).
7. Let the spell work. Walk away and trust that the energy is already in motion. Act in alignment with what you want, but do not check on the spell or worry about the spell. Constantly obsessing or checking for signs signals doubt to your subconscious. Trust the process. Trust yourself. Grasping equals doubt. Confidence equals results.

Money Spell Herbs and Tools

There are many herbs and tools you can use to do prosperity rituals. Again, you don’t need these, but they’re powerful energetic anchors. Each one has its own magic and meaning, but just like any magical tool, its power comes from the intention you charge it with. You can incorporate these into your own money ritual or follow the one above as it’s written.

Prosperity and Money Rice

Cultures around the world have used rice as a symbol of prosperity for centuries. For instance, Italians throw rice at weddings to wish the newlyweds abundance and good luck. And, for rituals, many cultures combine it with herbs or spices to enhance its power.

However, “money rice,” specifically, is a folk magic staple rooted in Hoodoo and Southern conjure traditions, often used to draw prosperity and financial luck. And because Hoodoo is a closed practice and not one that is part of my lineage, I don’t feel comfortable telling you to use it in your spells. If you’re interested in learning more about Hoodoo, I recommend exploring the guides and connecting with the practitioners at Readers and Rootworkers.

What I do feel comfortable sharing with you is how to make a basic prosperity rice inspired by the global symbolism of rice and the magical properties of herbs to energetically attract financial flow. With intention, mix uncooked rice with prosperity herbs such as basil, cinnamon, and mint. Add a bit of salt for protection. You can use this in your money bowl, in a witch bottle, on your altar, or in a charm bag that you keep with your or put under your pillow.

Green Candles

Green candles are great tools for money magic because they represent growth, prosperity, and abundance. After all, they’re the Venus’s color. And, their fire magic element adds speed to the mix. Just be mindful that, as always, working with fire magic means some things in your way of your goal might be removed in the process.

If you’re also working through old fears or limiting beliefs around money, consider burning a black candle first to clear that energy before calling in what you want. This helps you manifest from a place of abundance, not scarcity.

Citrine

This sunny crystal is linked with manifestation and financial flow. And, as an added bonus it doesn’t hold onto negative energy. It’s sometimes called the “merchant’s stone” as it’s long been associated with prosperity, success, and magnetizing financial opportunities.

Slip a small tumbled piece into your wallet, coin pouch, or even your phone case to keep your intention for abundance close. Every time you reach for your card or cash, let that bright little stone remind you that you are open to receive.

Abundance Sigils and Runes

Images and symbols speak directly to the subconscious — they bypass logic and communicate your intention on a primal level. The Elder Futhark Fehu rune (ᚠ) is one of the most powerful symbols for wealth and fulfillment. You can draw it on your wrist as a visual anchor throughout the day, carve it into a candle, or include a drawing of it inside a spell jar.

You can also create your own sigil for abundance using a personal affirmation — the act of crafting it is part of the spell.

Bay Leaves

Write your intention on a bay leaf or small paper. Tuck it inside your wallet or phone case as a daily energetic reminder.

Sometimes the simplest magic is the most potent. Bay leaves have been used since the Ancient Greek times for divination and protection. Take a moment and write your financial desire — an amount and timeframe — on a small piece of paper or on a bay leaf.

Keep it inside your wallet or your phone case. It’s important to place it within something you use often and that is associated with money or communication.

Spell Jar

A spell jar or witch bottle is a mini container of focused intention. To make one for attracting money, combine herbs like cinnamon, basil, and salt in a small glass jar or vial that has a lid. Add a bay leaf or piece of paper with your written intention, then seal the jar with green wax. Place it on your altar, nightstand, or in a sunny southeast facing window to keep the energy flowing toward your goal — and give it a little shake when you need a boost.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to make a money spell jar.

Witch Bottle for Wealth

This one comes from witch Gerina Dunwich. Take a witch bottle and add bayberry root, lucky hand root, mandrake root, and snake root. Pour in tea made from spikenard and seal with green candle wax that was lit on Friday or during the hour of Venus.

How to Frame Your Intention for the Money Spell

Money spells can be tricky if you’re not specific. Ask the Universe for “more money,” and you might find a crumpled five-dollar bill in a parking lot. Leave your intention vague, and the money might show up through something unexpected — and undesired — like an inheritance or an insurance payout. That’s why clarity is everything. (Not just in spells, btw.)

When crafting your intention, get specific: How much money do you want? By when? Through what type of energy — work you enjoy, unexpected windfalls, aligned opportunities? You can leave the how open to the universe as it’s very possible you aren’t able to see where your windfall will come from from where you stand.

But, to protect against things you know you don’t want, you can say something like “May this abundance flow to me, harming none on its way.”

How to Visualize Your Desire (and Why This is the Most Important Step)

Once you’re clear on your intention, the next step is to visualize it. This isn’t just daydreaming — it’s science-backed magic. Elite athletes use mental rehearsal to practice races before they ever hit the track. Why? Because the brain doesn’t fully differentiate between what’s imagined and what’s real.

Same goes for money spells. Visualization activates your Reticular Activating System, a part of the brain that filters information and focuses your attention on what you tell it to focus on. When you imagine a specific financial reality and feel it as if it’s already here, you’re training your subconscious — which drives a whopping 95% of your decisions — to start noticing where abundance is already showing up. And then it helps you act in accordance with that reality.

So before you begin your spell, take a few intentional breaths and close your eyes.

• See yourself living the life you’re calling in: the bank balance, the home, the sense of freedom.
• Feel and embody the emotions that come with it — safety, excitement, gratitude.
• Breathe into the energy of it already being yours. Let it settle into your body.

Prime Your Subconscious to Receive Your Desire

Here’s the thing: your subconscious mind is running the show. It controls around 95% of your decisions, from what you notice to what you believe you’re allowed to have. If your conscious mind says, “I want more money,” but your subconscious is running on “money is bad” or “I never have enough,” guess which one wins?

This isn’t just spiritual — it’s neurological. Your brain has something very real called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) that filters the world for what matters to you. When you set a strong intention and begin to believe it’s possible, your RAS starts showing you new paths, ideas, and opportunities that were always there… you just didn’t see them.

Think of your spell as planting a seed. If your subconscious soil is full of weeds like fear, shame, or scarcity, that seed has a harder time growing. But clear some of those out — or even just become aware of them — and you start creating space to receive.

How to Get Into an Abundance Mindset When You’re Freaked Out

I get it. It’s hard to think about wealth and ease when you’re worried about paying rent or watching your bank balance shrink.

But this is exactly when abundance mindset becomes most powerful. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about remembering that your current circumstances are not the limit of what’s possible.

Try anchoring into what is already flowing. That might be breath. It might be the coffee in your cup, the sunlight coming through the window, the fact that you’re reading this and showing up for yourself. That’s abundance.

And when you can feel just a flicker of that, your energy starts to shift. You start to get ideas, nudges, little miracles. We’ve got a whole post coming on working with your subconscious to rewire it — but for now, start with one moment of gratitude, one breath, one act of self-trust. Then the next.

Signs to Look For That Your Money Spell Is Working

You might not wake up tomorrow to a direct deposit from the Universe — though hey, it happens.

Things you might notice: you might feel lighter. More inspired. You might notice a new opportunity, a forgotten refund, or someone offering help out of nowhere. Maybe an idea drops in that lights you up.

One way to start noticing more abundance is to keep a daily gratitude journal or a note in your phone of all the unexpected kindnesses, gifts, and yes, money that flows your way.

The biggest sign? You stop obsessing over the outcome. You trust it’s on its way. Your energy shifts from fear to flow — and that’s when the magic really kicks in.
