I like to dive into the art and symbolism of the card first to see what messages I intuitively receive. Next, I pick up the guidebook that accompanies the deck to see if anything else related to this card stands out to me. Finally, I put it all together for a powerful message that guides me and my journey.
I recommend that you write down all the thoughts that came up for you during a reading, maybe even before doing any of the other steps. With all of these steps, trust that whatever comes up is your message, even if it sounds like you are talking to yourself.
Visualization
Visualization is one of the most powerful modalities to utilize as a tool for the manifestation of your desires. I incorporate visualization every single day. When I do this, I always see what I want as if it has already happened. I believe this is how I have been able to manifest so much money and so many opportunities as quickly as I have. When you imagine and visualize your goals as if they have already happened, your brain does not know if that visualization is fake or if it is real. If you can think your future into reality consistently, your brain and your energetic body will draw in the opportunities that will get you to that place.
A potent technique to use along with visualization is a manifestation board. A manifestation board is basically a vision board on which you put all of your goals in the form of pictures, words, or even drawings that represent what you desire. In chapter Six, you will discover how to create a Prosperity Dream Board, which can support you in reaching your goals. Remember, what you focus on the most is what comes into your life. Therefore, if you keep seeing visual representations of your goal, then your subconscious mind will always be focusing on it, even if you don’t consciously think of it. Creating a manifestation board is a physical action you can take to bring your intentions and thoughts into the material world. When you add a manifestation board to your altar, it is being charged and powered up by all the positive vibes that surround it every day through your energy and focus. It also keeps the space super focused on your dreams.
Crystal Magic
Crystal magic is one of my favorite ways to work with energy! Definitely have crystals on and around your abundance altar, if at all possible. The energy of the crystals helps amplify the energy of the space.
You can program a crystal with your intention at your altar. This is a super simple magical practice that creates phenomenal results. With your intention in mind, choose a crystal that you are drawn to, perhaps one that is energetically connected to your goals so you can achieve them faster. Next, sit in your sacred space in front of your altar and hold the crystal to your heart. Close your eyes and command your intention into your crystal. Always speak as if your intention has already come true. For example: “My crystal is programmed with the energy of abundance, and I have $10,000 in my bank account now. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and so it is.” After you say your prayer or incantation, see a beautiful golden light traveling from your heart into the crystal. When the golden light has filled the crystal fully, imagine a pink light coming back into your heart and infusing every cell of your body with crystalline magic. Know that you are connected to this crystal, and you will be guided to divine abundance by working with your gem.
You can keep this crystal on you (I keep it in my bra), or you can keep it by your bed, on your desk, or on your abundance altar. If you feel the need to power up your crystal, you can repeat the same richual or just leave it on your altar overnight to recharge. Do whatever feels best for you.
When you are finished working with your crystal, you can clear it with an herbal smoke wand or spray, or you can leave it to cleanse under the full moon.
Refreshing Your Altar
Refreshing your altar is a deeply devotional practice you can implement as part of your altar work. I recommend cleaning the space and sweeping away any dust or ashes once a week. If you are like me, there will be wax from burned candles everywhere. You can choose to leave leftover wax for a magical feeling, or you can scrape it up. If you have left flowers, food, or drink offerings, this is the time to switch them out for new ones.
The more you tend to and care for your altar, the more magical it will be. Some people get into a meditative state as they clean and rearrange their altars. Let your inner magic guide you to what your altar wants to look like and feel like. If you feel like putting an extra crystal on your abundance altar or making any other additions or changes, then do so. Follow your inner guidance, as it’s your soul talking to you.
How Often Should You Work with Your Altar?
Some altars are created to celebrate a specific season or holiday, like Beltane and the winter solstice. Since you are creating an abundance altar, it can be active year-round and worked with whenever you desire. You might want to add something extra during major holidays to use the energy of the season to amplify your intentions.
Dedicate yourself to working with your altar at least once or twice a month. You can add some new moon and full moon richuals during those times, or maybe an opening and closing richual at the beginning and end of the month. Or, as I mentioned before, you can light a candle daily to activate and honor the energy of your sacred space, building up a powerful vortex of abundance. However—and whenever—you decide to work with your altar is up to you. Feel your way into it and see what seems the most powerful and abundant to you.
Thursday Practice
A fun suggestion is to have a dedicated Thursday practice at your abundance altar because the energy of that day of the week is connected to the planet Jupiter. Jupiter represents abundance, luck, and success, so I always make sure to do something related to money and business that day. Oh, who am I kidding, I do it every single day!
Activation Close to an Eclipse
Another powerful time to activate your altar is right before an eclipse. I know some people believe that eclipses are chaotic and you should not do any magic during that time, but I believe that they are a powerful magic amplifier if you learn how to work with them and the flow of their energy. The time around an eclipse is like a portal that collapses timelines and can move you more quickly toward your goals. A solar eclipse, which happens during a new moon, is a good time to activate a new desire or goal. During a lunar eclipse, which occurs during a full moon, it’s best to work on a goal that is almost finished or to use it as a time to release what no longer serves you.
When activating the timeline-jumping magic available during an eclipse, it is important to be very intentional about what you are choosing to manifest. Be hyper-focused on your desires at all times. An eclipse activation is not just a brief, fifteen-minute altar practice while you let your mind wander to other things. For the entire day, stay aware of your thoughts, dreams, and actions as much as possible. If you can do this, then you will see yourself move toward your desired results in superspeed.
Remember to focus on what you desire and not what you are lacking or don’t have. The energy of the Universe will give you what you are focused on, whether you want it or not.
Travel Altar
If you are dedicated to your magic and would like to fully commit to your wealth witchery, then you will love the fact that you can take an abundance altar anywhere you go. Having a travel altar is similar to working out on a vacation: You don’t have to do it, but if you have a goal that you really want to achieve, staying committed is beneficial.
For a travel altar, I recommend putting a few of your favorite magical tools in a small box or drawstring bag that you can bring with you. I like to include at least three crystals; some chime spell candles; a candleholder; matches; energy-cleansing spray, like rose, or a rosemary sprig for smoke cleansing; a tarot card that represents my intention; a card holder; and anointing oil.
When you get to your destination, pick a spot that you resonate with, then cleanse the space and set up your mini altar. If you want to light a candle as part of your travel altar, please make sure that you are allowed to do so first; some hotels do not allow guests to light candles.
Sometimes, when I am on a trip, I will find something magical in that location that I can add to my altar, such as a pine cone, a leaf, or any number of things. The item itself is not important. What is important is setting an intention and believing that you are magical, that you are the creator of your world, and that you are dedicated to manifesting all of your abundant desires.
A travel altar
If, after reading about all of the ways you can put together an altar to support your manifestations, you are excited to get to work creating your altar, I am so happy for you! Working with a space dedicated to your intentions is a portal to wealth and abundance. This practice will elevate your spiritual experiences and change your life.
If you are super resistant to setting up your abundance altar, then guess what? Getting past that resistance will change your life. It also means that you should probably set one up anyway. Similarly, if you are resistant to spending time on your practice, you may make excuses such as “I don’t have the time” or “This is too much work.” I have said these things myself. I firmly believe when this occurs, it indicates that I am ready to ascend to the next level in my life and experience more of what I want to create; my survival brain—the ego—is reacting to the changes and is trying to protect me. The same is true for you too. So, really, having these feelings and thoughts is great! It means you are right on the cusp of your transformation! To make it over to the other side, do the thing that you don’t want to do or are afraid of doing. It really is that simple.
If you want to have a complete wealth witchery practice, having a sacred space, such as an altar, is an integral part of its success. If you want to change your life, then you need to change your thoughts, habits, and actions. Incorporating positive, high-vibe practices and focused intentions into your everyday life will help manifest abundance. Have fun curating your abundance altar—it is a portal to infinite possibilities!

Your Wealth
Witchery Practice
The purpose of cultivating a wealth witchery practice to be a rich witch is not just to have all the money in the world. It is about creating abundance in all areas of life, and it’s about giving back as well. Being of service can look like many things, and one doesn’t have to be an entrepreneur, coach, or healer to help people. No matter what your profession, it can be impactful to others. For example, a teacher can be living their best life and helping the community through enriching the minds and souls of each of their students. Hairdressers share their magic by listening to their clients’ problems and helping them gain confidence by having beautiful hair, which can help them feel true to themselves. There are many ways to spread magic and wisdom, just as there are many ways to fulfill your purpose in life.
The reason why wealth witchery is focused on money and wealth is because I believe we need to have our needs and desires met before we can show up as our highest selves for others. When we are lacking and struggling, it is much harder to help others as successfully. When we are living in abundance and overflow, we can share more wealth—in more ways than one—with those around us.
In this chapter, I will be sharing how you can get into the flow of money, why it’s important to give your money a purpose, how to receive more money, ways to let go of abundance blocks, and the Four Realms of Manifestation, which will help you discover your own unique way of manifesting.
Four Realms of Manifestation
In my twenty-plus years of studying and practicing the manifestation of abundance, also known as wealth witchery, I have discovered that there are four realms individuals must engage with and invoke as part of a manifestation practice to be able to get what they want consistently. The four realms I believe are the secret to masterful manifestation, including the creation of an abundant life, are the mental realm, the energetic realm, the emotional realm, and the physical realm.
There are many systems and programs that only focus on one or two of these realms, such as mindset or energetic manifestation. I mostly worked with the mental and energetic realms for a long time. While I did in fact manifest, I have found that once I added in the emotional and physical realms, my magic became much stronger, and my manifestation became almost instantaneous.
Mental Realm
Working with my mind and my belief system helped me move from eating ramen noodles and Happy Meals every day to getting a well-paying job and eating fresh, healthy food. When I was poor, I had a scarcity mindset and needy thoughts and beliefs. It was very hard for me to think like a wealthy person because I had been programmed to think from a place of lack. Nobody taught me how to make money, save money, or manage money—I had to learn it all for myself. The mental realm, for me, is where the real manifestation magic began.
You see, an individual’s reality is created from the beliefs in their subconscious mind. If you have a belief that money creates greedy, evil, rich people, then even if you want more money, you won’t get it, because the subconscious mind and the ego (which is your protector) will keep you from having money so that you don’t become greedy or evil. Even if your conscious mind wants to make more money or save more money, your ego will reject money because it is trying to keep you safe.
The mental realm requires you to release negative thoughts and self-sabotaging beliefs that can hold you back from reaching your goals. It is a reprogramming of the subconscious mind and the ego. The ego doesn’t know that what you want is better for you—it just knows that where you are now is comfortable. Instead of fighting with the subconscious mind and ego, you can work with them and use them in your favor.
Think of your subconscious mind like a computer; if you download a program on a computer, the computer runs the application without you having to tell it how to do so. You don’t need to think how to breathe because your subconscious is already programmed to do it. Without having to think about the step-by-step process, you can easily breathe, talk, and move around. Your mind is so magical! You can leverage the skills you already have by programming your mind to think that it is easy to make money and that when you are rich, you will do wonderful things. When you truly believe that and hold it as a core belief, your perception of the world will change. Suddenly, you will see more opportunities appear for yourself. Your brain will find ways to make sure that making money is easy without you having to hustle or work so hard for it. The mental realm is a powerful piece in the overall manifestation of what you desire.
Anything you want starts with an idea. You cannot create something if you can’t think it or imagine it. Therefore, the mental realm is also about being extremely aware of what you are thinking, doing, and being. If you think there are limits, then there will be. In truth, the only limits you have are the limits that you put on yourself. In my world, I have clients that are doing what they love, working three to five hours a week, and enjoying days where they make up to $111,000. There are coaches I work with who are experiencing million-dollar months. There really is no limit to what you can manifest in your life!
The only limits that exist come from your mind. You may experience fear, self-doubt, negative self-talk, and self-sabotaging beliefs. Everyone gets these types of beliefs, no matter how much money they have or how successful they are—it is normal. The difference is how you respond to those beliefs. The question you have to ask yourself when you notice these types of limiting beliefs creep in is “Will I choose to allow myself to stay stuck in these beliefs, or will I choose to do something about it and shift out of these thoughts to get to my success?” I already know you are ready to shift because you are reading this book! Every action has a cause and effect, and just by the intention you have shown in picking up this book, you have already created shifts in your life.
Your success is inevitable. It is already yours. This is your opportunity to figure out what you want and go for it. Imagine what your life will look like once you have met your goals. Picture everything, even the breakfast you will eat when you are rich, whatever being rich looks like to you. It is important to note that there is no one thing that defines being rich. Whatever it is for you, you can create it. Denise Duffield-Thomas, a successful entrepreneur and money mindset coach, says that people often think they need a certain amount of money, or to do a specific thing that “rich” people do, in order to have success, but that is not true. Rich people are human like everyone else and make the same mistakes as a “normal” person.4 So, it is important for you to define what being rich means to you, and remember that whatever you visualize can become real.
As I explained earlier, the mental realm is so powerful because your mind does not know the difference between what you are imagining and a memory of something that has already happened. Your mind thinks it’s all real. Therefore, use the magic of the mental realm and “think” yourself to your divine wealth. Dream bigger, think bigger, and don’t let anyone—not even yourself—hold you back.
mental realm magic
This exercise will help amplify your manifestation powers. Close your eyes and ask yourself the following questions to tap into your mind magic: What do I want to create in my life? Can I imagine it and see it in my mind?
When you are done imagining your dream life, open your eyes and journal all about it. Stating it again will imprint it further. I also suggest keeping that journal someplace safe so you can refer back to when what you envision manifests in your life!
Energetic Realm
The second realm that you get to play in as part of the manifestation process is the energetic realm. Thoughts become energy, and that energy is then sent into the quantum field to search for opportunities of the same frequency. Your thoughts create your reality, and an even more accurate statement is that what you put energy toward manifests. Wherever you direct your energy, consciously or unconsciously, that area of your life will grow and expand. If you are focusing on the thought I have so many bills to pay, then the Universe receives the message you want more bills to pay because you are focusing your energy on bills all the time. Instead, if you focus on how much fun you are having and believe that your bills are paid, then the Universe will bring you more of that energy. One of my clients who was learning how to manifest wanted to test this theory out, so she put her energy and focus toward manifesting free ice cream. What happened was amazing: People started bringing ice cream to her job every single day. She didn’t even ask for it from anyone, and it just showed up!
