tiny money jars worked immediately that it scared me :')

ingredients

bay leaf (abundance)

white rice grains (prosperity)

salt (cleansing, protection)

thyme (purification, protection)

moonstone (manifestation)

white quartz (amplifier, cleansing, protection)

i sealed the top off with a green paper and used green ink to write my sigil (amplification), then tied it off. all the ingredients used are just things lying around the house. one of them is placed on my table where i work, and the other is something i can bring around.

i used a lot of protection symbols because i realized that there are so many ways to earn money if you trade off your peace, energy, and integrity. i could be hired into a good-paying job that takes advantage of me, come across opportunities to steal from others, or get a high-paying client that disrespects me – those are things i didn't want to happen.

cleansing motifs are to clear up the factors that prevent the spell from working as you'd like.

supporting spells. put a bayleaf with a fehu rune written on it in places where you typically put your money in (e.g., wallet, coin purse, coin bank).

“For the whirlings of the universe are but the course of the blood in my heart. And the unspeakable variety thereof is but my divers hairs, and plumes, and gems in my tall crown. The change which ye lament is the life of my rejoicing, and the sorrow that blackeneth your hearts is the myriad deaths by which I am renewed. And the instability which maketh ye to fear, is the little waverings of balance by which I am assured.”

— The Cry of the 23rd Æther, “The Vision and the Voice” (1909)

so this guy right he makes ancient egyptian themed furry costumes. he makes all kinds but mostly he specializes in Horus heads. it's his passion really. he loves to make the beautiful falcon head of the Sun God. anyway so he's at a con one day and he sees this whole bunch of people in middle kingdom dress with these indistinguishable animal heads. he's like. oh man these folks could really use a new source, i can hardly tell what animal those are! so he goes over and he says "hey guys! i see you are into ancient egyptian mythological themed furry costumes--if any of you are interested in being the radiant Son of Ra, I am the BEST in the business!"

and the group of people look at each other, then at him. awkward. finally one of them says: "uh. no thanks. we're all Set."

CIL VI, 35887 = CLE 1532 = EDR120786:

Cara mieis vixi, virgo vitam reddidi. / Mortua heic ego sum et sum cinis, is cinis terrast. / Sein est terra dea, ego sum dea, mortua non sum. / Rogo te, hospes, noli ossa mea violare. / Mus vixit annos XIII.

Dear to mine I lived, life I left as a maiden. / Here I am dead and I am dust, and dust is earth. / And if Earth is a goddess, I am a goddess, I am not dead. / I ask you, stranger, do not wish to desecrate my bones. / Mus lived thirteen years.

a touching mixed-metre epitaph for a young girl: nearly identical verses appear in the epitaph of young Utilis (CIL VI, 29609 = CLE 974 = EDR144568), and both share a common theme with an epigram attributed to Pseudo-Epicharmus (D.L. Page, p. 154).

εἰμὶ νεκρός, νεκρὸς δὲ κόπρος, γῆ δ' ἡ κόπρος ἐστίν· / εἰ δ' ἡ γῆ θεός ἔστ', οὐ νεκρὸς ἀλλὰ θεός.

I am a corpse, a corpse is dung, and earth is dung too; / and if Earth is a god, I am not a corpse but a god.

“And the voice comes: Why art thou there who art here? Hast thou not the sign of the number, and the seal of the name, and the ring of the eye? Thou wilt not.

And I answered and said: I am a creature of earth, and ye would have me swim.

And the voice said: Thy fear is known; thine ignorance is known; thy weakness is known; but thou art nothing in this matter. Shall the grain which is cast into the earth by the hand of the sower debate within itself, saying, am I oats or barley? Bond-slave of the curse, we give nothing, we take all. Be thou content. That which thou art, thou art. Be content.”

— The Cry of the 25th Æther, "The Vision and the Voice" (1909)

Magical Stela with Horus the Child

“The top half of this stela was skillfully carved in the hard dark stone. On the part below the central figure panel, rows of hieroglyphs record thirteen magic spells to protect against venomous bites and wounds and to cure the illnesses caused by them. The stela was commissioned by the priest Esatum to be set up in the public part of a temple. A victim could recite or drink water that had been poured over the magic words and images on the stela. As a mythic precedent, the hieroglyphic inscription around the base describes the magic cure that was worked upon the infant Horus by Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing.”

Late Period

360–343 BCE

"To have any sensible meaning at all, faith must mean experience... Nothing is any use to us unless it be a certainty unshakeable by criticism of any kind, and there is only one thing in the universe which complies with these conditions: the direct experience of spiritual truth. Here, and here only, do we find a position in which the great religious minds of all times and all climes coincide. It is necessarily above dogma, because dogma consists of a collection of intellectual statements, each of which, and also its contradictory, can easily be disputed and overthrown."

— Aleister Crowley, Eight Lectures on Yoga (1939)

"I urge you to beware of the pride of the spirit, of the thought of anything as evil or unclean. Make all things serve you in your Magick as weapons."

- Aleister Crowley, Djeridensis working c. 1923
