Money Tree Spell

You didn't think I was just gonna leave you with my sappy (get it, huh, do ya?) story, did you? The following is a spell I originally found via Cassandra Eason. I have modified it a bit to suit myself and you can feel free to do the same.

Buy a tree that will grow nicely in a pot indoors (mini fruit trees are nice!) You'll also need 3 different colored coins; gold, silver and copper. These need not be American coins, however if you wish for American dollars it might be a good idea to stick with USA currency. You also need 3 gold ribbons.

Start this spell as early as you can during the waxing moon phase, but make sure you can actually see a sliver of the moon.

With your tree potted, bury the 3 coins in the dirt in this order: copper, silver, then gold. Copper is the metal of Venus and ensures happiness, silver is the metal of the Moon bringing a continuous flow of money to you and gold is the metal of the Sun which brings sustained financial growth.

Tie the three ribbons loosely on the tree's branches as you recite your spell. For example:

You are my money tree.
As I care for you, so you care for me,
Bringing me money and prosperity.

Or some such rhyme... make up your own!

Take good care of your tree and replace the ribbons as they wear out.

Money Tree

I have a money tree. Now don't y'all start Googling for my address and invading my yard. She doesn't actually grow paper currency or drop gold coins (not yet anyway, I'm open to that though.) I've lived in this house 3 years and just this week noticed the money tree. She's actually a pecan tree variety. The reason I call her my money tree involves explanation. Warning: There will be woo-woo involved in this explanation.

So last week I found myself captivated by the color of the fall leaves on the money tree, as I am every year. Her leaves are always some dazzling shade of gold. Then through some process of thought I rambled through "gold....money....abundance - I have a money tree!" That's the simplistic version anyway. She's dressed in green in the spring and Summer, green like our American paper money. In Autumn, she's all gold (like what our American money used to be backed by.) She has an abundance of leaves 3/4 of the year, she bears fruit. When I look up at her she stands with her arms outstretched, accepting and embracing everything. She has withstood harsh weather, persevering and growing more mighty with each passing year. She's the first to welcome me when I come home and the last to bid me farewell when I leave. She's a reminder of all I can be, do and have. Get it? She's my money tree.

Don't let my "money" title fool you, she's more that just a representation of cash. She is a reminder that I am always loved, provided for, protected and can go as far in life as I choose to...there are no limits. It's hard to sum all those things up in one word or short phrase and I kinda like the idea of having a money tree anyway.

I bet you have a money tree of your own somewhere. Some of you are already nodding your heads in acknowledgement. For those of you yet to discover your money tree, I invite you to go out and look for it. If you have a yard, start there. If no yard of your own then look in your neighborhood, local park, places you go to regularly. When you find your money tree, give him or her a hug.

So now that we all have a money tree (don't be a slacker, yes YOU, go find yours) what do we do with it? You could do nothing, just let the tree be a simple reminder. You could place offerings at the base of the tree (ie-crystals, food for critters, a small statue.) You could decorate the tree with ribbons, I love bottle trees - you could do that, who knows?! Use your imagination, not mine. Best of all, hug your money tree. Hug any tree but especially your money tree. Mine is in the front yard so this now confirms the suspicions my neighbors have had about me. I've posted a couple of pictures of my unadorned money tree. I'd love to see pictures of your trees!
