Abundance Magic for the DIY Witch

Abundance is a magical and prosperous entity morphing and shimmering around you, ready to be claimed the moment you are ready to receive. It's true that there are many operating definitions of abundance — this is the part where being a witchy, magical human gets to be fun and you get to decide what wording and what paths feel most in alignment for you. You can start this journey with intentional reflection; try sitting with your tarot deck or other divination tool and asking yourself: "what does abundance mean to me? How does this magic show up in my mind and body?" Navigate this journey the way you would any other relationship: with curiosity, love, and care.

Cultivating your relationship with abundance is deeply personal, so take your time defining where abundance shows up in your life, and where you'd like to invite it in.

Joyous and supportive community, access to yummy nutrients for your body, a rich self-care routine, or a comforting home — these are all examples of how abundance might appear. What areas in your life feel abundant right now? Can you take a moment to express gratitude for these bounties? Think of abundance as the river that flows where it feels welcome and witnessed, and think of gratitude as the invitation for abundance to stay and linger. They go hand in hand.

Just as there are numerous ways to find abundance in life, there are a plethora of simple ways to call in abundance. These are some abundance magic practices for the DIY Witch! Try them out and see what practices make your magic feel its best.
