Learn how to create a powerful money bowl spell to attract abundance, wealth, and financial growth. This easy step-by-step guide will help you manifest money using practical magic and spiritual intention.
Money magic isn’t about greed—it’s about freedom. When we cast spells for prosperity, we’re not chasing wealth for its own sake. We’re aligning with the natural current of abundance so we can live with more peace, purpose, and presence.
For me, a money bowl spell isn’t about materialism. It’s about creating the spaciousness I need to focus on the things that truly matter: spending time with my husband and family, tending my home and garden, getting lost in a good book, painting from the soul, and writing for Grandma’s Grimoire. The more financially supported I am, the more I can show up for the life I love—with joy, creativity, and intention.
Magic can be deeply practical. A money bowl is a simple, ongoing spell that keeps your financial goals at the center of both your magical and mundane life.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how to create your own money bowl spell using accessible materials, personal intention, and a bit of witchy flair. You can set it and forget it—or work with it regularly as part of your financial practice.
What Is a Money Bowl?
A money bowl is a physical vessel—often a bowl, jar, or dish—filled with symbolic items that represent your desire to attract abundance. It becomes a kind of living altar: an ongoing spell you can feed, focus on, and draw inspiration from.
Where a candle spell might burn out in a single ritual, a money bowl stays with you. You pass it on your desk or altar each day. You tend it like a plant. And each time you do, you reaffirm your commitment to your goals—and your belief that you are worthy of receiving.
When to Create a Money Bowl
Timing can enhance your spellwork, especially if you’re working with the moon calendar to align your magic with lunar phases. You might choose to create or refresh your money bowl during:
- During a new moon (for fresh beginnings)
- On a Thursday (associated with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and wealth)
- During a waxing moon phase (to grow your financial goals)
- During a full moon in Capricorn or Taurus (for long-term success and stability)
But truly? The best time to create a money bowl is when you feel called to do it.
A Money Bowl Spell
There’s no one “correct” way to build your money bowl. This is a deeply personal piece of magic. Choose what feels aligned for you.
Materials for the Bowl
The Bowl (or Jar):
- Any vessel will do: ceramic, glass, wood, or metal
- Green or gold bowls are often used to represent prosperity
- You can also use a wide-mouthed jar (more on that below…)
Filler/Base (Optional):
Some witches like to add a grounding base—such as salt, rice, or sand—to stabilize the energy. Others skip this step entirely or keep those ingredients in separate jars on their altar (as I do).
Optional fillers include:
- Salt – for purification and stability
- Rice – to represent nourishment and abundance
- Sand or dirt – for grounding and manifestation
Money Symbols:
- Loose change, dollar bills, or a check written to yourself
- Gold charms or coins
- Pyrite, citrine, or other money-drawing stones
Intentions & Affirmations:
- A written petition or goal
- A sigil, mantra, or affirmation like “Money flows easily to me”
- A small vision board or list of financial goals
Extras:
- Crystals like green aventurine, tiger’s eye, or jade
- Cinnamon sticks, basil, mint, or bay leaf for prosperity
- Candles or incense to activate the spell
The Money Bowl Spell
1. Cleanse the Space and Tools
Use smoke (sage, rosemary, incense), sound, or moonlight to cleanse your bowl and items. You want to start with clear energy.
2. Set Your Intention
What are you calling in? Be specific. Are you manifesting a certain amount of money? Calling in new clients? Hoping to pay off debt or save for a home? Speak your intention aloud as you prepare your bowl.
3. Build the Foundation
Add your filler: salt, rice, or sand. This grounds the bowl and holds your ingredients in place.
4. Add Herbs and Crystals
Layer your prosperity herbs, placing your chosen crystals on top. Speak your intention into each item as you add it.
5. Add Money and Symbols
Place coins, a folded dollar bill, or a handwritten check into the bowl. Add anything symbolic of financial flow—like a magnet, key, or small charm.
6. Place Your Petition or Affirmation
Write your intention on a slip of paper and tuck it into the bowl. You can also place a sigil or mantra beneath it. Something like “Money flows easily to me” or “I am open to all forms of abundance.”
7. Activate with Fire or Breath
Light a candle beside the bowl or blow gently over it while visualizing golden light swirling into the bowl. This breathes life into your work.
For a boost of lunar magic, perform this spell under the light of a full moon—especially one in Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo. Place your finished bowl outside or on a windowsill to soak in moonlight. Imagine the moon pouring silver light into your spell, illuminating new paths for prosperity to flow into your life.
Where to Place Your Money Bowl
The energy of your money bowl is shaped not just by what’s inside it—but where you place it. This isn’t something to tuck away and forget. It should live in a space that feels intentional, energized, and directly tied to your financial focus.
If you have one, the ideal home for your money bowl is a dedicated money altar.
This could be a shelf, a corner of your main altar, or a small table in your office where you keep all things related to prosperity and wealth magic. It’s where you can place symbolic items, keep track of income and expenses, display financial tools, and anchor your energetic intentions.
Tending this altar—whether daily, weekly, or monthly—becomes part of your magical rhythm. Light a candle, refresh your intentions, or simply place your hands over the bowl and breathe in gratitude. These small rituals help maintain a steady flow of energy and keep you aligned with your goals.
Other good options include:
- On your desk – Especially if your work is your main source of income
- In your office or creative space – To keep your financial focus aligned with your daily efforts
- In the wealth corner of your home – According to Feng Shui, this is the back left corner when standing at your front door (that’s where mine is … coincidence or intuition? … hmmmmmm)
Wherever you place your bowl, make sure the area is clean, clear, and regularly visited. Dust, clutter, and neglect can disrupt the energy—so treat your bowl and altar with the same care you give your intentions.
How to Work With Your Money Bowl
A money bowl isn’t just a one-time spell—it’s a living working. The more you engage with it, the more potent it becomes. Here’s how to keep the magic alive:
1. Feed the Energy
Add something to the bowl regularly: a coin, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a note of gratitude, a new affirmation, or even a slip of paper with a specific goal. This “feeding” keeps the energy fresh and flowing.
2. Speak to It
Yes—talk to your money bowl. Whisper your goals to it. Thank it for supporting you. The act of voicing your intentions strengthens the spell and connects your conscious mind to your magic.
3. Use It as a Focus Tool
Whenever you’re feeling distracted, discouraged, or overwhelmed about money, take a moment to sit with your bowl. Meditate on it. Place your hands around it. Remind yourself of your worth and your vision.
4. Visualize the Flow
Imagine light pouring into the bowl—gold, green, or silver. See that light flowing outward, weaving through your life, opening doors, drawing opportunities. Do this often. Let it become a habit.
5. Refresh Monthly
Just like you might cleanse your altar or recharge your crystals, your money bowl needs attention. Use the new moon or first of the month as a time to:
- Remove anything that feels stale or outdated
- Burn old petitions (safely) or store them if they’ve come true
- Add new intentions or fresh items
- Wipe down the bowl physically and energetically
6. Align with Action
Remember, magic works best when it walks hand-in-hand with mundane effort. Let your bowl inspire you to take practical steps: stick to your budget, follow up on invoices, apply for opportunities, or declutter your wallet.
A Peek at My Personal Money Bowl
My own money bowl lives on a dedicated financial altar in my office, right next to my desk. I keep it there as a gentle—but persistent—reminder to stay focused when I’m working. (And if you also work from home, you know just how tempting the distractions can be!)
Technically, it’s not a bowl at all—it’s a wide-mouthed glass jar I use to collect spare change. But it’s also so much more than that.
Inside the jar, I’ve placed:
- All of my credit cards (except two: one for business, one for personal use that I keep in my wallet) as a symbolic and practical reminder not to rely on them
- A scrolled-up paper with sigils representing abundance, balance, and flow
- A small gratitude journal where I jot down moments of financial support and surprise blessings
- My magickal cashbook, which I use to manifest specific amounts of cash for specific reasons
Surrounding the bowl on my altar are other items that support and reflect my financial magic work:
- My copy of Financial Transformation Magick by Damon Brand, which I’m currently working through as a daily money magic practice for an entire year
- A Hermit lantern I created with the specific intention of generating wealth through quiet focus and inner wisdom
- A green money magic candle I made a few years ago—one that completely failed and leaked all over the place. (And yes, during that time, my money was leaking like a sieve, too.) Not every spell brings instant success, but sometimes the failure is the message—and the medicine.
- Three wax melts made from that same candle, which I now keep as humble reminders of what needed to change before true abundance could arrive
This altar also holds the real-world evidence of financial energy in motion:
- All incoming checks remain on the altar until I’m ready to deposit or cash them
- Any unpaid bills live there, too—right in the heart of my magical and financial workings—until I pay them off with intention
This setup isn’t fancy. It’s real. It’s evolving. And more than anything, it’s mine. It holds my relationship with money—the beauty, the lessons, the rituals, the boundaries, and the dreams.
For a Deeper Practice: Financial Transformation Magick
If you’re ready to take your prosperity magic to the next level, I highly recommend Financial Transformation Magick by Damon Brand. This daily magical system walks you through a full year of rituals to reset your financial life from the inside out. It blends angelic magic, mindset work, and practical action—all of which beautifully complement a money bowl spell. I’ve been using it myself, and it’s been powerful.
Think of your money bowl as a physical anchor, while Damon Brand’s rituals help you shift the deeper energetic and psychological blocks that may be standing in your way.
Disclaimers & Notes

- Results from spellwork are never guaranteed. Magic is a co-creative process that works alongside real-world effort, timing, and personal growth.
- Case in point: I once made a money candle that completely failed—it leaked wax everywhere, and yep, I was leaking money too! Sometimes our spells reveal what needs healing before the flow begins.
- Always approach spellwork with clarity, consent, and personal responsibility. Your path is your own, and your magic should reflect your truth.
Final Thoughts
Your money bowl spell is more than a charm—it’s a relationship. As you tend to it, you tend to your own sense of worth and possibility. Magic works when you do. So dream boldly, speak your intentions with clarity, and let your money bowl become a daily reminder that wealth—in all forms—is already within your reach.

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Grandma. I was fortunate to have two wonderful grandmothers while I was growing up and I have many happy memories of each of them. Today, I live in a “Grandmother’s House” where my husband and I enjoy lots of time with our family. In addition to my role as Grandma to nine grandchildren, I am a daughter, a wife, a mother of three grown children, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a writer, an artist … and a witch.
