What Is a Spell?
Time in our blog series to talk about spells. Some people call them focused manifestations if they don't like the association with the magical world. A spell is a spiritual practice that uses intention, focus, visualisation and symbolism to help you concentrate on a particular goal. Some people incorporate candles, written words, meditation or other meaningful objects into their practice.
In prosperity work, a spell can help you focus your thoughts on financial opportunities, abundance, and a more positive relationship with money. Rather than viewing a spell as a guarantee that money will arrive, consider it a way to clarify what you want, strengthen your motivation and encourage yourself to recognise opportunities. Abundance isn't always about money; it's about things that improve the fabric and quality of your life.
A responsible spell should be performed with positive intentions, respect for others and an understanding that practical action is still necessary. For financial matters, this might mean reviewing your budget, promoting your business, following up on unpaid invoices, or seeking new income sources.
Easy Money Spell
This simple seven-day candle ritual focuses your intention on attracting prosperity and encouraging financial opportunities. It requires only a few magical tools and can be adapted to suit your personal spiritual practice.
This ritual is not intended to harm anyone and does not seek to interfere with another person's free will. It is all about you.
Magical ingredients
- One green candle, traditionally associated with money, growth and prosperity. If you don't have one, a white candle or, preferably, a white tea light can replace a coloured one.
- A piece of paper.
- A pen.
- A heat-resistant candle holder or dish.
- A fireproof container for safely disposing of ashes, if needed.
How to Perform the Spell
Step 1: Set Your Intention
Choose a quiet place where you can concentrate without interruption. Sit comfortably, take several slow breaths and allow yourself to relax. Think carefully about what you wish to achieve financially. Be clear about your intention and make sure it is realistic and connected to something you can work towards. We can dream about winning the lottery, but start small and steady.
Step 2: Prepare Your Paper
Draw a large pound sign (£) in the centre of your paper. Decorate it with any patterns or symbols that represent prosperity to you. Take a moment to focus on what financial security and abundance mean to you. This simple activity helps direct your attention towards your goal.
Beneath the symbol, write down the amount of money you would like to attract or the financial outcome you hope to achieve. This might be a specific sum, more business orders, new customers, greater financial stability, or simply being able to pay the monthly electricity bill.

Step 3: Light the Candle
Place your green candle (or white) securely in its holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep the paper well away from the candle and its flame. Safety is always paramount.
Light the candle and spend a few moments concentrating on your intention.
Step 4: Visualise Prosperity
Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so and breathe slowly.
Visualise yourself taking positive steps towards your financial goal. Imagine receiving a new order, welcoming a customer, completing a successful project, or seeing an opportunity that improves your circumstances.
Focus on the feelings you associate with financial security, such as confidence, relief, gratitude and peace of mind. Spend about five to fifteen minutes reflecting on your intention, staying present, not getting distracted, and supervising the candle safely.
Step 5: Speak Your Intention
When you feel ready, say the following words aloud or quietly to yourself:
“I welcome prosperity, opportunity and growth into all aspects of my life.
May my efforts bring positive results, and may I recognise the opportunities that come my way, or the wisdom to know when to change direction.
May the money I receive support my needs and help me build a secure and abundant future.
With clear intention and positive action, I open myself to new possibilities.
I give gratitude and thanks. So mote it be.”
You may change these words to reflect your own beliefs and circumstances.
Step 6: Close the Ritual
Take a final moment to reflect on your intention. Give thanks in whatever way feels appropriate to your spiritual practice.
Extinguish the candle safely using a candle snuffer or another suitable method. Never leave a burning candle unattended or allow it to burn down without supervision.
Fold the paper and keep it somewhere safe as a reminder of your financial goal.
Step 7: Repeat for Seven Days
Repeat the ritual once a day for seven consecutive days, using the same intention each time. You may use the same candle if it remains safe to do so, or a fresh candle for each session. It is important to stay focused on what you are manifesting/spellcasting and not keep changing your mind.
On the seventh day, finish with the spoken intention and safely extinguish the candle. Keep the paper as a reminder of your commitment to prosperity.
After completing the ritual, consider one practical action you can take towards your goal. This could be contacting a potential customer, advertising a service, reviewing your spending, or exploring a new opportunity, and doing so with confidence and belief.
Important Things to Remember When Casting Spells
Spellwork is a personal spiritual practice, and traditions vary. Whatever your beliefs, keep a few principles in mind.
- Be clear about your intention. Know what you are asking for and why it matters to you.
- Avoid harmful intentions. Do not use spellwork as an excuse to threaten, manipulate or deliberately harm another person.
- Respect free will. Focus on your own opportunities, choices and circumstances rather than trying to control someone else's decisions.
- Do not expect guaranteed results. A spell cannot promise that money will appear or that a particular financial outcome will happen.
- Take practical action. Combine your spiritual practice with sensible decisions and realistic steps towards your goal.
- Avoid financial risks. Never spend money you cannot afford to lose on ritual supplies or rely on a spell instead of seeking appropriate financial advice.
This ritual helps you focus on prosperity, develop a positive mindset, and remind yourself that you can take meaningful steps to improve your financial circumstances.
Approach it with an open mind, realistic expectations and a willingness to act on the opportunities you encounter.
