Money Magic Spells Using the Conqueror Root
Before beginning, think about what you need money for. In my case, it was a camera. Write down what you want, wish for, and desire on a piece of paper to solidify your intention.
Once you have your intention in place, I recommend reading it aloud four times and burning the paper in your cauldron. The number four represents stability, home improvements, significant purchases, and family.
Think about how much money you need. Do you need money for a significant purchase? If that’s the case, shift your focus to the object.
It could be money for a lavish vacation, a brand-new computer, a new wardrobe, or anything else you have a strong desire for. If the desire isn’t strong, you don’t want it bad enough. If you desire multiple things, focus on the thing you want the most in this world in the present moment.
A lot of times, it’s not the money we need as much as the desire to purchase or afford something. This will help you carve out a powerful intention you can focus on.
Another way to manifest money is to decide on an outlet you’d like it to come from. Do you want to make sales from your business? Do you wish for more clients? These are all things that will help you gain more money.
In this case, you might not need to ask for a specific amount. You would hold the root in your hand and focus on the outlet where you want money to come from.
Do you need a specific amount of money? For example, maybe you need money to pay rent. You would then be sure to include the amount you need.
Once you have your intention pegged, you can call on High John the Conqueror and his Conqueror Root to begin praying. You’ll do the same prayer every night while holding the conqueror root in your dominant hand as you fall asleep.
Do this prayer until your manifestation comes through, which will happen almost instantly! Be sure to give High John the Conqueror and his root high praise for answering your prayers. You can even give him an offering that you know he would enjoy wholeheartedly!
