PROSPERITY ALTAR (SET-UP & CHARGE)

Want to raise energies of wealth and financial gain? Erect a prosperity altar.

Your altar can be a powerful energy center that attracts streams of wealth and abundance. Place it in the southeast corner of your home or sacred space.

ITEMS NEEDED

  • Palo santo, copal or white sage for smudging

  • large quartz, citrine, or aventurine generator

  • tumbled stones aligned to prosperity (natural citrine, aventurine, hessonite garnet, yellow apatite, yellow fluorite, pyrite, emerald, jade, green tourmaline)

  • a fountain or chalice of water

  • perfume or essential oils for wealth (patchouli, myrtle, basil, cinnamon, orange, myrrh)

  • 4 or 8 clear quartz or natural citrine points (not tumbled)

  • herbs associated with wealth (cinquefoil, basil, cinnamon sticks, patchouli) (optional)

  • pieces of currency

  • a statue of a deity associated with wealth (optional)

  • a green or gold candle

  • a double-terminated quartz wand

ARRANGE YOUR ALTAR

  • Smudge your space and offer a prayer for prosperity.

  • Set your intention while focusing on what you seek. Be as specific as you can.

  • Place your generator at the center of your altar. Bless it as a bringer of prosperity and abundance energies. Give thanks for its work.

  • Place 4 tumbled stones at the corners. For balance, use 4 of the same stones, or alternate stones to create a visual effect. If you like, cut the corners into cross quarters, placing stones between the 4 directions.

  • Place your chalice in the west, where it will nourish the spirits of the west who bring clearing and purification, along with your perfume or oils.

  • Take one of your quartz or citrine points and lay one at each of the 4 directions as the outermost objects in your grid. Turn the points inward to ensure that the prosperity energy you're raising stays anchored in your space. (Outward facing points raise a more general frequency of prosperity that is allowed to extend beyond your space and bless the broader planet.)

  • Place any herbs between the crystals, adding to their elemental energy.

  • Add your currency in the western quadrant of your altar, as west governs water and flow.

  • Place your statue in the center or in the eastern quadrant to welcome its energy into your space.

  • Place your candle in the southernmost point on your altar, and see if anything else feels called to be present. Now is the time to allow your intuition to be your guide.

CHARGE YOUR ALTAR (OPTIONAL)

  • Light your candle, calling in the elemental guardians of the south. As you gaze into its flame, visualize the prosperity you desire, and inhabit the depth of that emotion. Sit with it for a moment.

  • Extend your right arm and, holding your double-terminated wand in your right hand, move the wand clockwise around your altar. As you wave your wand, set an intention that energy if slowing from the Universe, through you, and to all of your tools, opening a portal for connection to Source. Your hand may start to fell warm at this point.

  • Bring your wand back to its starting point, closing the circle and sealing the blessings.

  • Bow your head and bring your hands together in prayer position. Give thanks for the abundance already on its way to you.
