Dispelling Myths About Money Spells

Reality: All magic is for personal gain. Usually for your own gain, and sometimes for the gain of the person you are trying to help out. It doesn't matter if you want to gain health, protection, or money- someone is gaining something from it. When our magic-using ancestors danced under the full moon to improve the harvest or the health of their livestock, it was for prosperity. Society has changed and we don't have livestock and crops to rely on; we need cash to prosper. So how is casting a money spell for prosperity so we can go to the supermarket and put food on the table next month different from our ancestors casting a spell for their crops to thrive?

This myth has been perpetuated mainly by fiction, but has no basis in reality, as magic throughout the ages has always been about trying to fill practical needs. If not for personal gain, then what have people been using magic through millennia for? Certainly not parlor tricks. There is nothing wrong with personal gain. There is a big difference between wanting personal gain, and doing things unethical for greedy purposes. Doing a spell to help you steal from your neighbor would be wrong; but doing a spell to help you find a way to earn more money legitimately is fine.

Myth: I need a money spell to make me rich!

Reality: Magic just doesn't work like that. It doesn't deliver all of your worldly desires to you on a platter with a twitch of your nose. Magic is more of a boost than a shortcut. If you are working hard, saving, investing, and doing everything right, certainly you might get rich, and a spell can help provide a magical boost towards that goal. However, if you're laying back in your parent's basement unemployed, watching TV rather than reading the want ads, making no actual plans or efforts to prosper, no magic in the world is likely to help you achieve your goal.

Mainly this is because magic needs a channel. Magic is energy and takes the path of least resistance. If you don't provide magic with a channel, the goal becomes scattered and doesn't reach you as well. If you provide it with a channel (a job, a money-earning project, seeking employment, investments, etc.) it will have a clear way to come through to you.

Also, think about it this way: to make magic work, you must raise and direct energy. If you're not willing to work for something on a mundane level, the chances that you will be able to achieve the enthusiasm to raise the kind of energy it would take to get you anywhere magically is unlikely.

Myth: Magic doesn't work because I cast a spell to win the lottery- and I lost!

Reality: Just because you threw a dart in the dark and it landed on the floor doesn't mean the dart board isn't there. There are actually a couple of reasons why you failed.

The first reason is probably because you have little to no experience casting spells, and you set your sights on an immense goal. It's akin to someone out of shape with no outdoor sports experience trying to climb Mount Everest one day.

The second reason that ties in is this: winning the lottery with a spell would take an immense amount of energy to accomplish. Magic is energy. Thoughts and emotions are energy, too, and people can send it out without even realizing it. When you set your sights on the lottery, you are competing with the energy being sent out by millions of other ticket holders wanting their dreams to come true. It's like a massive energy tug-of-war between millions of people, all pulling it in different directions. Your energy is competing with so much other energy... the lottery is, literally, a gamble.

Semi-Myth: When you cast a spell for money, someone in your family will die and you'll get an inheritance, or you'll be in an accident and get an insurance settlement. It's dangerous and not worth it.

These stories abound; and I don't doubt it happens. I do doubt that your spell is the sole cause of any massive tragedy. As stated before, magic takes the path of least resistance. Dropping twenty bucks in the street is less resistant than a person's life being taken- unless the person was ill, or reckless, and the death was probably inevitable anyway.

But the truth is that there are ways to cast money spells without throwing up a prayer to the universe saying, "just get me some green ASAP!" You can directly tap the sources you want the cash to come from, and open that channel wide for the magic to flow through, thus eliminating any risk of tragic circumstances.
