A Spirit of Wealth
A contribution to the recent discourse on money in our community. This post was originally going to be a later chapter of my "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" celestial magic project, but given recent topics it felt more appropriate now.

CliffsNotes (i.e. implications on my personal practice)
My previously constructed natural magic talismans are useful as permanent and reusable magical material
The Zodiac model is an effective way to tweak the specific expressions of planetary influence in spells.
Slow and steady money magic is a good demonstration of how my personal temperament effects my practice.
I grew up poor which has translated into a fairly frugal lifestyle as an adult, even as my financial circumstances improved. I'm just wired to be financially conservative and risk averse. I'm the type of person that would take their lottery winnings as a monthly stipend and report to work the next day. I like my job. As such, I care more about comfort and freedom than raw dollar amounts. It just doesn't take much to make me happy.
Money magic implementations that focus more on a moderate, but steady, flow of income are more effective for me than sudden dramatic influxes of cash. I can appreciate those that excel at more dramatic money magic, but I am not a boom-and-bust sorcerer. In either case, I agree that a poor witch is probably a poor witch.
I am not coming at this from your perspective I grew up with everything a girl could desire, as a young adult I was a very rich bitch and I could command money - didn’t make me happy in the slightest. Major Money block. I see money as something that can be utilised to take advantage of my nature.
🥴🤯 Now Lost don’t go taking umbrage but reading that I felt like I just navigated the astral in Nuclear submarine with a DU leak and now the Quabballah is crying.
I mean you and Roomie absolutely no harm. 100% truth.
I hope for you both, a gaseous nebula collapse; I wish on that star for you to have abundance in absolutely everything positive.
You are the second funniest thing on the internet. You made me laugh.
