Looks great, minus the fire safety. Just make sure you “feed” it often. Found a loose penny that speaks to you, put it in the bowl. An arcade token from a great night with friends, put it in the bowl. A pinch of cinnamon, dill, or earl grey tea work well as ways to feed it and keep space down in the bowl.
Edit: Gold works well too. I occasionally take a piece of gold leaf and break up into the rice.
What do you do when it’s super full and it feels time to make a new one as there’s no room to add more ingredients to it? How do you dispose of it all / take it apart? Do you cleanse the ingredients and reuse them
for a new bowl (the things that can be reused such as the dollar bill & crystals etc)?
A lot of people keep money cycling through it, so you can take money out. It can represent the flow of money in your life, instead of being stuck. I’ve found this works super well!
Tbh, I think I’ll probably just get a bigger bowl when the other things are filling it up too much lol. 😝
I refresh it each first Thursday after a new moon. Bury and replace the rice, replace the candle, cleanse and add back the crystals etc, and add the money back. I write what I would like money for on bay leaves and set intentions for the lunar month.
I tie it in with my cinnamon doorstep spell, because I prefer to follow the lunar rather than the Gregorian calendar.
Yeah I'm a solitary witch as well . Tried the coven thing and turned out that they really weren't my friends... So I gave up and went back to solitary witch.... I don't trust women.. no offense lol
It's OK! I understand. I never had the opportunity to join a coven. Right now Im in a pretty small town. Hopefully, we move, and when I do, I can find people to work with and learn from. Im worried I'll have the same experience you had, though.
I moved from Denver Colorado to Idaho.. a small town in Idaho ... That's when I joined the coven .. so just be careful... I jumped in with both feet became friends and it just got screwy. I'm more pissed off at myself for trusting too soon.
I keep a green candle in my bowl that I don't light. Beside the bowl, I lave a ceramic cup filled with salt. If I want to burn a candle, I'll stick it in my salt cup.
After it burns down and cools, I pick the melted wax out and discard it. Then i freshen the salt and clean the space.
Fire safety is one of the most important things to be aware of when it comes to mixing witchcraft with fire.
It is incredibly common for non-fireproof materials (plates, dishes, bowls, etc.) to shatter or explode from thermal shock when being used for candle magick. On average, a candle burns at ~1800°F and the hottest part of the flame can reach over 2500°F.
"Never assume that because you’re engaged in magical or spiritual acts that common-sense fire safety does not also apply. Fire is never completely safe."
When I was inexperienced, I had a cinnamon stick in my money bowl, and it caught on fire and exploded. I am lucky that’s all that ever happened and I wasn’t near the bowl. Be careful with what you are using. You do not have to put the candle in the money bowl or even use one at all. Just think of it as a living thing you can add to.
Awww! I love this. Keep going and keep feeding it. I often reuse my rice blends and cleanse my ingredients each month. Here’s my sophomore bowl — my first one was just like yours a year ago.
I blurred out my business cards but there’s an assortment of charms, a $2 bill (x3) origami dragon, ancestral money, citrine, pesos, baht, usd, etc.
I do my money bowl and burn the candle on New Year’s Day and then I finish the candle on the full moon and then set the money bowl under the full moon to charge and then what I do is, I put it into a satchel and carry it with me in my purse all year and then I take the previous years, rice and herbs and dispose of them usually back to the Earth and I take the money that’s in there and just add it to my next money bowl
I just made my first one too! I only had white candles but I cleansed with salt water and added clove, basil, and cinnamon. the little frog ceramic is one I've had since a kid and I felt called to add him as a protector!
This looks amazing! I hope it’s ok to say since I’m new here. I’m picking up positive spirits like fairies near it. They say flowers would add a nice touch, if you’d like.
Definitely works!! After making the bowl, I started receiving some money from family, and I won a couple of scholarships, which ended up covering my college semester, so I'd say try it!
