The Money Talisman ritual is a traditional practice within various forms of folk and modern witchcraft, intended to attract financial abundance and prosperity into one’s life. This ritual draws upon the symbolic properties of its ingredients, as well as the power of focused intention, to create a physical object believed to serve as a magnet for wealth and opportunity.
The ritual typically requires several specific items, each chosen for their historical and magical associations with prosperity. These include five pumpkin seeds, which are often linked to growth and abundance; three cinnamon sticks, representing success and the swift movement of energy; a single dollar bill, symbolizing tangible wealth; a piece of green cloth, as green is traditionally associated with money and fertility; a green candle, which is used to focus intent and energy; cinnamon or basil oil, both of which are believed to attract prosperity; and a green ribbon, used to bind the talisman and seal the spell.
The timing of the ritual is considered significant. Many practitioners choose to perform it on a Friday, a day associated with Venus and material well-being, during the waxing phase of the moon, which is thought to be a period ideal for attracting and increasing energies. Dusk is often selected as the time for the ritual, symbolizing transition and new beginnings.
To begin, gather all the required ingredients and prepare a quiet, undisturbed space. It is recommended to cleanse the area beforehand, perhaps by burning incense or sprinkling salt, to remove any unwanted energies. Take a moment to center yourself, focusing on your intention for financial stability and abundance.
Next, gently anoint the green candle with prosperity oil, basil oil, or cinnamon oil. As you do this, visualize your financial obligations being met—imagine yourself paying bills, feeling relief, and experiencing genuine happiness. Visualization is a key component of this ritual, as it helps to direct your energy and intention toward your desired outcome.
Light the green candle, allowing its flame to serve as a focal point for your intentions. Place the five pumpkin seeds, three cinnamon sticks, and the dollar bill onto the center of the green cloth. Carefully fold the cloth three times, symbolizing the sealing of your intent, and secure it with the green ribbon. As you assemble the talisman, you may choose to chant or speak affirmations that reinforce your desire for prosperity.
A commonly used chant for this ritual is as follows:
“Dollar bill, work your will. Pumpkin seeds do your deeds. Cinnamon sticks, do the trick, Bring needed money & bring it quick.”
This chant is often repeated three times, in keeping with the magical significance of the number three, which is associated with manifestation and completion. Allow the candle to burn for approximately nine minutes, a number that is also considered powerful in many magical traditions.
Once the ritual is complete, it is customary to keep the talisman near your wallet, purse, or where you handle your finances. The belief is that by maintaining a positive expectation and regularly focusing on your intention, you may become more receptive to financial opportunities and abundance.
While the Money Talisman ritual is rooted in symbolic and psychological practices, many practitioners find that it helps them clarify their goals, foster a mindset of abundance, and take practical steps toward financial well-being. As with all magical workings, results may vary, and the ritual is best viewed as a tool for empowerment and self-reflection rather than a guaranteed solution.
By understanding the symbolism and intention behind each step, you can approach this ritual with mindfulness and respect, integrating it into your broader spiritual or personal growth journey.
