Psalm 1: Prosperity Magic - A Path to Abundance

In Psalm magic, Psalm 1 serves many purposes: weakening an enemy's influence, providing protection, avoiding bad company, stopping gossip, achieving business success, removing harmful people, and encouraging prosperity.

Casting a Psalm 1 Prosperity Spell

For today's practice, we’ll focus on using Psalm 1 to foster prosperity. The process of Psalm Magic is simple and effective. Start by reading the psalm aloud from start to finish without interruption—this is known as an incantation. Once completed, go back through the psalm, carefully analyzing each verse.

During this second step, look for deeper or hidden meanings within the text. The insights you uncover can then be applied to the specific situation you want to address. By engaging with the psalm in this way, you allow the magic to take root, grow, and bring positive changes into your life.

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

In Psalm 1, the psalmist appears as a personal guide to help you find what you’re seeking—in this case, prosperity. Take a moment to reflect on the type of prosperity you want, whether it’s financial, emotional, or something else entirely.

The Importance of Positive Influence

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly," reminds us that we are blessed when we resist negative thoughts and influences. These thoughts often come from within, telling us why we can’t achieve our goals or focusing on what’s wrong in our lives. To move toward prosperity, it’s essential to stay open to the possibilities of what you desire.

Negative self-talk, like doubts about your abilities or fears of failure, will hold you back. The same goes for external negativity—surrounding yourself with people who constantly focus on struggles and hardships can make it harder to see a path forward. Prosperity thrives in an environment of confidence and possibility. That’s why it’s essential to step away from both internal and external fear, gloom, or despair. Redirect your focus toward growth, opportunity, and the abundance you aim to create.

"Nor standeth in the way of sinners…" To sin means to miss the mark or make mistakes—something we all do. However, when you repeatedly follow the same missteps, letting them shape your actions, they stop being just mistakes and start becoming habits. Over time, those habits define who you are.

If you surround yourself with people who focus on negativity—those who constantly complain about how bad things are, how hard life is, or how unreachable success is—you’ll find it difficult, if not impossible, to move forward toward your goals. That’s why it’s essential to create some distance, even if only mentally, from such people and conversations. The company you keep has a significant influence on your direction.

Guarding Against Cynicism and Self-Doubt

The phrase "...sit in the seat of the scornful" refers to showing contempt or mockery. Many reject the idea of growth or prosperity, dismissing the possibility that changing their thoughts could lead to better outcomes. Often, they meet enthusiasm with criticism or hostility. You don’t owe them explanations, nor should you get caught up in their cynicism. Stay focused on your progress and avoid letting their opinions become a distraction. It’s often better to keep your plans and goals private, protecting them from unnecessary judgment and criticism.

At the same time, reflect on the "scornful seat" within yourself. How often do you criticize yourself, others, or the world around you? How much time and energy do you spend resenting politicians, news stories, or your circumstances? Even if your frustrations are valid, dwelling on them won’t help. Instead, redirect that energy toward building what you want. Focusing on solutions, rather than problems, opens the door to incredible change and growth. By shifting your attention, you create space for marvelous outcomes to unfold. This is one of the great powers of working a Psalm 1 prosperity spell.

The Law of Cause and Effect

"But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night." What is the law of the Lord? From a Hebraic perspective, it refers to the Torah. For magicians, however, the Torah is a symbol for the law of Cause and Effect—the law of the Infinite.

The world of cause is the unseen realm, while the world of effect is everything we experience in the physical world. If you’re seeking prosperity, there’s no need to force outcomes or manipulate circumstances externally. Instead, align yourself with the Law of the Lord.

Focus on what you truly desire. Meditate on it deeply—day and night—just as the verse advises. Channeling your energy toward wonderful, prosperous thoughts and desires is far more productive than succumbing to fear or doubt. Keep your attention focused on your cherished goals, allowing them to shape your thoughts and reflections. By turning inward to the unseen realm, you begin creating what you want at its source. Trust in the law of Cause and Effect—it will naturally bring your vision into the physical world without the need for stress or overthinking. The process will unfold as it should.

Creating a Foundation for Enduring Prosperity

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in season.” This is a powerful reminder of what we should strive for in life. Let go of ideas and habits that block your happiness, goals, or success.

Instead, focus on building a solid foundation rooted in the infinite source, one that allows you to thrive, constantly nourished by love and support. This isn’t about quick fixes or temporary solutions like money spells that fade away. It’s about creating something enduring—a prosperity tree.

Picture planting a money tree that grows and supports you over the long term. What gives this tree its strength? The Infinite’s love for you. When you understand that the unseen world is the source of everything, you plant that understanding in fertile ground. From there, the Infinite provides all the nourishment needed for your prosperity to flourish. It starts in the invisible, and as it takes root, it naturally manifests in your life.

The Power of Nurturing Success

“His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” This reminds us of an essential truth: what we nurture in the unseen will eventually take form in the visible. Success begins when you root yourself, like a tree, in fertile soil—soil enriched with the boundless love and support that the Infinite constantly has for you.

This journey is a partnership with the Infinite, a reflection of what is meant for you. Yet, the choice remains yours. What you focus on will grow. To succeed, you must direct your energy toward what truly matters, make intentional choices, and let go of distractions or ideas that steer you off course.

Align your thoughts and attitudes with your deepest desires. This is how you plant the seed, nurture it, and allow it to thrive. The love and support of the Infinite are always with you, guiding and sustaining you every step of the way.

Releasing Harmful Thought Patterns

“The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.” In ancient times, farmers would toss grain into the air, allowing the wind to carry away the light, useless chaff while the valuable grain fell to the ground. This image prompts a simple question: Do you want to be the sturdy, thriving tree or the chaff, swept away without purpose?

This process also mirrors the way we can release harmful thought patterns. The ego’s destructive habits can be let go, much like chaff blown away by the wind. By allowing the Infinite to clear these unhelpful thoughts, you create space for clarity, growth, and prosperity to take root. Trust this natural process, and watch as your efforts blossom into something meaningful.

Ego vs. Soul: Aligning with Light

“Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” This highlights how ego cannot coexist with the soul, just as darkness cannot remain when light appears. Think of searching under the bed for something in the dark—you can’t see anything. But the moment you shine a flashlight, the darkness disappears. It doesn’t resist the light; it simply fades. The same happens with ego-driven thoughts. When truth shines through, those thoughts dissolve. They can’t exist in the presence of light.

In the same way, ungodly thoughts cannot "stand in the judgment" or "congregation of the righteous" because only what is authentic can endure.

So, what does it mean to be "righteous"? It’s being in a state of clarity, peace, and happiness—your most natural and balanced self. Anything that doesn’t align with this state cannot remain.

The Infinite Sees Your True Self 

“For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” "The Lord" represents the ultimate source—pure oneness, the foundation of all existence. This source goes beyond concepts of gender or deity, encompassing everything without exception. Nothing exists outside this Infinite Presence.

Our minds have the power to imagine and create freely, but these creations, when at odds with the Truth, are not inherently real. Though they may feel real to us, they are illusions, separate from the actual source. Only the oneness of the Infinite is absolute—everything else fades in its light.

“For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous” reminds us that the Infinite sees us as we truly are—whole, joyful, free, prosperous, and complete. It does not recognize the version of us defined by struggle, lack, or burdens, as those are not our true essence and hold no real substance. This understanding is profoundly freeing because it reveals that when we align with how the Infinite knows us—as we were originally created—everything that isn’t true to our nature effortlessly falls away, like chaff in the wind. The false identities and struggles simply dissolve with ease.

Letting Go of What No Longer Serves Us

“And the way of the ungodly shall perish.” This reminds us that anything not aligned with our true selves naturally fades away. The psalm uses the image of separating the chaff from the grain, symbolizing the process of clearing away what no longer serves us. You were created to live a life of prosperity, joy, and freedom. Anything that blocks your happiness or success is not permanent and can be released if you’re open to it.

The psalm encourages you to allow the Infinite to gently separate the “chaff” from the “grain” in your life. This isn’t about judgment or punishment—it’s a loving process of letting go of what doesn’t belong, so your true self can shine through. You don’t have to do this alone. Just as the wind carries away the chaff, the Infinite can lift your struggles and challenges.

Practice this Psalm 1 prosperity spell daily until you feel a deep sense of peace and certainty. Once this feeling arises, you'll know the prayer has taken effect. At that point, let go of your situation, trust in the power of Psalm 1, and move forward with confidence, knowing everything is aligning perfectly.

Blessed be.
