The Florida Water Abundance Spell: A Waxing Moon Ritual

Money is often an abstraction to us. We think of it as numbers on a piece of paper we stash in our wallets, or as digits on a screen. However, if we quiet down the chatter of the physical world and see with the inner eye, we will know that money and abundance have a frequency, a vibration, an energy, and that this energy is fluid. It flows like a river, sometimes rapidly and furiously as a roaring rapids, other times slowly and gently as a smooth-moving meander. To change our financial circumstances, we must raise our frequency to match that of the river of abundance.

By performing simple rituals, we create a bridge between our circumstances and our subconscious mind. This abundance spell is a simple way to communicate with the powerful part of ourselves that understands only symbols. It is our deep mind that can create a conduit for attracting what we desire into our lives, a beacon, if you will, to call the universe to bestow its blessings upon us.

In this guide, I will show you a simple yet powerful ritual to expand the flow of money and abundance in your life. Grounded in the rich symbolism of the New Moon, that sacred moment of new beginnings, you can open the windows of your spirit to prosperity and let it fill the air you breathe.

The Season of Magic: Why the New Moon?

When planning and manifesting for financial abundance on earth, why do we take our cues from the night sky? Because the macrocosm is reflected in the microcosm. The Dark Moon symbolizes the womb of potential—the dark, rich soil where the seed of an intention is planted and begins its first whisper of growth toward the light.

This is a time of potential. The Dark Moon phase is not a void of activity. It is a place of latent possibility. We cast our abundance spell as the moon is waxing, at the New Moon, just as the first thin crescent of light is seen to slice the blackness of night. Over the coming weeks, as the moon waxes and becomes brighter in the night sky, so shall your intention grow in power. By holding your desire to heal financially at this time, you are aligning your will with the prana of the cosmos, drawing it in and through you in greater measure to expand and amplify your resources in perfect alignment with the cycle of the moon.

Collecting Your Ritual Tools 

Effective magic is ultimately gentle and straightforward. There’s no need to seek out rare substances or memorize long, complicated invocations. A few easily obtained items are all that is required.

You will need the following items for this abundance spell:

Florida Water: This is a standard bearer of traditional cologne, has been around for centuries, and is often used in the spiritual toolkit for cleansing and uplifting energy. Florida Water's spicy, floral, and peppery citrus notes cut through the miasma of heavy energies, making room for clear, new, positive energy to come in. This cologne is usually inexpensive, which is helpful, as you do need to use quite a bit in this abundance spell. If you can’t find Florida Water, any citrus-based eau de cologne, such as 4711,  will also do nicely. In a pinch, you could even mix a citrus essential oil with rubbing alcohol and use that mixture. It won't smell as nice, but it will get the job done.

Seven Coins: Take seven coins of any denomination in your country's currency. The number seven is significant and influential, being the number of upgrade and completion. In Qabalah, it is associated with Venus and its archangel, Anael, who blesses us with “I have”. It is also associated with Libra, whose watchword is “I balance”. Even if these two signs aren’t in your birth chart, they are invoked within you by working with the number seven to bring in new, positive change in your financial situation.

A Container: Look for a small bowl, dish, lid, or other small vessel to hold your coins and some Florida water. This represents the womb of your abundance spell. Make sure your container is small enough to fit in the circle of the talisman you will make.

Paper and Pencil: You’ll need these to draw a simple talisman to charge your container.

Once you've collected these items, you’ll be ready to cast your spell and open yourself to the abundance waiting for you!

The Abundance Spell Instructions 

As you perform this ritual, remember to breathe. This is a form of active meditation. Go slowly and with purpose, and be mindful of your actions.

1. The Talisman 

Begin with your paper. Draw a large circle in the center of the page. The circle should be large enough to accommodate your vessel when you set it on top of the paper. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but if you wish, use a stencil or a compass to create it. The circle, in magic, represents perfection, unity, wholeness, the womb of creation and the cycle of return. The circle is a container. It gives the abundance spell a place of focus to build energy within.

2. The Quarters 

In each of the four “quarters” outside the circle you have drawn (corresponding to North, South, East, and West), draw the currency symbol of your country. For example, if you live in the United States, draw a dollar sign ($) in each quarter. This will open a flow of the energy of financial current moving outward from your center into the universe and inward from all four directions of the earth toward your center.

3. The Vessel 

Place your vessel into the center of the circle, directly on the paper. This container represents the power of receptivity. As the Universe rains down blessings upon you, you have created a vessel with which to receive them. Just as we cannot catch the rain without a container, we cannot catch our financial blessings without a vessel. Of course, the real vessel is within you, and this simply symbolizes that.

4. The Coins 

Drop the seven coins into the dish. As you do this, run your fingers over the metal, acknowledging each one as a seed of what you have now, being planted as future wealth. Feel each coin as a fertile seed of immense opulence.

5. The Anointing 

Pour some Florida Water over the coins until they are covered. As you do this, watch the water cascade over the coins. Acknowledge the alchemical process that is beginning. The water is activating the latent, but currently dormant, energy within your mind to bring you increased financial abundance. As you breathe in the sharp, sweet, spicy notes rising from the glass, know you are breathing in the spirit of the abundance spell.

6. Conjuration: Feel the Flow 

With your physical tools created and in place, you are ready to begin your spiritual work. Sit quietly before your creation. Close your eyes and turn your attention inward.

Visualize the tide of your financial prosperity rising. Don’t get hung up on the “how” or the “when.” Just sit with the feeling of having.

When we allow ourselves to feel the joy of a desire fulfilled, the Universe conspires to move us from a state of want to a state of assumption.

Sink down into a quiet, humming joy around the thing or things you want to manifest. Relax into this feeling. See oceans of resources all around you, floating particles of gold spinning in a sunbeam. Perhaps you see all denominations of bills floating gently down from the sky, piling up in drifts around your feet like autumn leaves. Maybe you receive an image of a successful business, or perhaps you feel a deep, abiding sense of peace—a knowing that all is well in your financial world, that all is taken care of, that the Universe is conspiring in your favor.

Growing and Tending The Thoughtform

Once you have finished your quiet time with your desire, find a spot for your altar—you know, the paper, dish, and submerged coins—something private, like a high shelf, a tucked-away cabinet, or even the back of a closet. This place must remain undisturbed, acting as a quiet guardian angel working behind the scenes to bring you prosperity.

Let the Florida Water fill the room with its scent. There’s something genuinely magical when the alcohol and fragrance evaporate into the surroundings, creating a mystical sense of wonder. As the aroma of the Florida Water spreads throughout your home or office, it begins to shift the energy of your space, opening it up to welcome in abundance.

Keep in mind, since Florida Water is alcohol-based, it will evaporate rather quickly. This evaporation is significant; it helps you build your thoughtform. As it turns from liquid to vapor, your spell becomes more active. 

Feed your abundance spell regularly. Check on your container daily. If the liquid isn’t covering the coins, add more Florida Water. This is how you “feed” the spell, keeping the energy growing. Each time you return and “feed” it, you create a stronger thought form that continues to grow until you finally release it. Feel the power intensify and condense each day as the cologne continues to evaporate.

Completing the Abundance Spell 

You can continue feeding your spell for as long as you like, up until the next full moon, which is the last day you should continue the abundance spell. You may only want to work the magic for a few days, or perhaps you will work it for the entire waxing cycle, which ends on the Full moon. You might even just continue until you get an inner sense that it’s enough. 

When you wish to end your spell, pour any remaining alcohol off the coins. Put the cologne you have poured off in another container and leave it out to finish evaporating completely.  You will notice that during the course of the abundance spell, the original dish and coins will be covered in a fragrant “gunk.” This is the cologne's residue after the alcohol has evaporated.

Wash the seven coins. Scrub them thoroughly. Polish them until they shine. As you clean the coins with soap and warm water, remember that you are also casting a powerful final act of magic. The “gunk” you scrub off represents the stagnation and stuckness that have been holding you back. It symbolizes the old stories you’ve been telling yourself about money. It reflects your limiting beliefs about wealth. It is dead energy. Let it wash down the sink. 

The coins are now sparkly-clean and renewed. Save them to use in another abundance spell in the future, or give them away; they have served their purpose. Wash out the containers you used to hold the evaporating Florida Water and use them in future spells as well.

Let The Magic Happen

Prosperity does not need to be pursued relentlessly. Prosperity is a flowing river from which we may collect as much abundance as we require. When you prepare yourself to receive more wealth (through this abundance spell or other methods), you are simply going to the riverbank and filling up your vessel with as much as you need.

We should always be careful not to become superstitious about the tools and rituals of magical work, such as the Florida Water, coins, or talisman. The spell items are simply tools that facilitate communication between your conscious mind and the deeper, oceanic mind that connects us all to the Source of All. Just as paints aren’t art by themselves, spells are not magic on their own. You are the magic.

Blessed be!
