A New Type of Money Magic A
young graduate opens a card from Aunt Betty; it contains a crisp green bill,
along with congratulations and sincere wishes for success. Grandparents buy their new-born grandchild a
Savings Bond, a gesture which will be stored away for decades before being
"released" into that child's life.
A loyal customer respects the hard work of a local business owner, and
goes out of the way to buy THERE, instead of some other business owned by strangers. Money truly is magic. Most
money spells commonly involve a person's wish to RECEIVE money. But what about the opposite? Can you attach and focus magical energy
within the money you SPEND, so that it can aid and bless others?
Let's
suppose that money is not a tangible object; it is energy. Magic often involves gathering, focusing and
releasing energy to achieve a specific purpose.
Is that any different than earning, saving, and then spending
money? When you spend, you transmit a
bit of energy in a certain direction.
You decide where it goes, whether to Place A or to Place B, to Purpose A
or to Purpose B. You create change --
and that can be magic!
Perhaps
we instinctively are aware of the energy within the money we give to
others. For example, it is common for
local businesses to hang up the first few dollar bills they earn as "good
luck" charms. Some bills even have
personal handwritten notes penned with good wishes by the merchant's friends
and supporters. But early forms of money
weren't dollar bills. Early forms of
money were metal coins. Today we have a
special word for coins; we call them "change." Change?
Like the way we change the world?
What an interesting word for money!
And the mathematical symbol for change?
The Delta, a triangle, the same symbol we use today for the element
Fire. Energy. Change.
It is no accident that our language shows this relationship. Word histories often show how two things were
once related.
While
money ITSELF is nothing sacred, be aware of the energy you send when you
spend. As you write out your monthly
bills, use the energy within it to bless others. See the hard work you do for your wages as a
way to raise energy to create positive change for yourself and those you
support.
Even
the "monthly ritual" of paying your bills can be magical. Your phone bill can be a way to bless the
loved ones you call each month. Your
mortgage or rent can be a house blessing.
How else can you direct energy through money? Your taxes?
Your charitable donations? Your
savings or special nest egg? Look for your
own personal ways to do this. You are
limited only by your imagination.
Rather
than spells to GET money, try using money magic as a blessing for others -- you
may be quite surprised by what you receive in return!
