My grandmother has always been fascinated by magic and the Law of Attraction. She had this incredible ability to bring wilting flowers back to life just by speaking positively to them, and she even used creative visualization to help lower her blood sugar levels. She truly believed that money, like life itself, is a flow of energy—and she always seemed to attract as much of it as she needed.
A few years ago, she shared some of her “money mind tricks” with me, and I’d love to pass them on to you. Whether you’re looking to attract more money or achieve financial independence, these tips might just work wonders for you.
The Magic Wallet
If you want to keep a steady flow of money in your life, start with your wallet. According to my grandmother, the color of your wallet matters—a lot. She recommended using a brown or ruby-red wallet because these colors vibrate at the same frequency as money. Red, in color psychology, symbolizes power, ambition, and passion, while brown represents stability, security, and a connection to nature. Together, they create a perfect energy match for attracting and keeping wealth.
But here’s the catch: your magic wallet must stay clean and clutter-free. Toss out old receipts, expired business cards, or anything you no longer need. These items carry what my grandmother called “dead energy,” which can block the flow of money into your life. Keep it tidy, and you’ll keep the energy fresh.
The Mirroring Spell
One of my favorite tricks from my grandmother is what she called the “mirroring spell.” It’s simple but surprisingly effective. Place a small mirror inside your wallet, tucked between your banknotes. The idea is that the mirror will “multiply” the money you already have. But be careful—never leave a mirror in an empty wallet, as it could backfire and create a shortage instead of abundance.
Watch Your Thoughts When Paying
Have you ever paid attention to how you feel when you’re handing over money at the checkout counter? If you feel a pang of regret or discomfort, it’s time to shift your mindset. My grandmother taught me to silently say this affirmation every time I pay for something: “Dear money, tell your friends far and wide to come back to me in a week/two weeks/month in three times larger quantities.”
The key is to let go of any negative feelings about spending. Money is energy, and when you give it with love and gratitude, it has a way of returning to you in even greater amounts. I’ve personally used this technique for years, and it’s amazing how often money flows back to me in the exact way I imagined.
Learn To Speak With Money
Money is energy, and like any energy, it responds to how you treat it. My grandmother always said, “Love money, and money will love you back.” Talk about money in a positive way, and avoid envy or negativity toward wealthy people. Envy and doubt are two of the biggest obstacles to financial independence. Instead, focus on abundance and gratitude.
Here’s a simple exercise: Take the highest bill in your wallet, hold it in your hands, and talk to it. Tell it how much you appreciate it and how good it feels to have it in your life. It might feel strange at first—talking to money is still a cultural taboo for many—but breaking that barrier can make a huge difference. Remember, your words have power, and how you speak about money shapes your reality.
The Extraordinary Power of Visualization
Visualization is one of the most powerful tools for manifesting your desires. My grandmother swore by this nightly ritual: Before bed, close your eyes and imagine yourself walking through a grand white palace with blue walls and floors. As you stroll down a long corridor, you enter a large hall where a wooden chest with your name on it awaits. Open it and start collecting money. Picture the chest as bottomless, and keep gathering money until you drift off to sleep.
Do this every night, and over time, it will feel natural. Visualization works because it trains your mind to believe in abundance. If you’re curious about the power of this practice, check the story of Helene Hadsell here, who won thousands of competitions simply by using visualization and the power of thought.
The Birch Bark Ritual
For a more tangible approach, try the birch bark ritual. Find a piece of white birch bark and write down the exact amount of money you desire. Use a pen or pencil—the bark is surprisingly paper-like. Once you’ve written your desire, place the bark on a fireproof surface, like a stone, and light it on fire. As it burns, visualize yourself already holding that amount of money in your wallet or bank account. When the bark has fully burned, say “thank you” three times and release your desire to the Universe.
For the best results, perform this ritual during the full moon, when the energy for manifestation is at its peak.
Money Is Energy
These practices might seem unconventional, but they’ve worked for my grandmother—and for me. The key is to approach them with an open mind and a genuine belief in their power. After all, money is energy, and when you align your thoughts, words, and actions with abundance, you create the perfect conditions for it to flow into your life. Give these tricks a try, and who knows? You might just find yourself with a fuller wallet and a brighter financial future.
