Money bowls are a staple in many different practices, the idea being that you cram a bunch of stuff into a bowl to draw money, prosperity, and abundance to you.

My Money Bowl Contents: (Do not repost)
NOTE: Not all of the contents of the bowl are listed here. These are what I’m comfortable sharing.
The bowl itself is a repurposed WalMart candle glass. I’m not terribly happy with it, and will likely change it up in the future if I find a more suitable / appropriate container. Or I’ll draw or paint or otherwise modify it’s appearance, I dunno.
It holds, in no particular order:
Old money poppet I made years ago from old pj pants. Used to keep him in my purse, but I felt he’d serve me better here.
Green felt & twine spell pouch w/ money mixture in it
3 pieces of green sea glass
An old money protection tealight
Sand dollar
$1 in quarters
3 tiiiiiny pieces of citrine
3 whole allspice
9 whole cloves
2 green spiral seashells
1 white spiral seashell with brown dots
3 roasted & salted sunflower seeds
4 pumpkin seeds
1 acorn
3 cowrie shells
2 cinnamon sticks
1 bayleaf
Typically, I also have petitions, spell bags, and $1-$20 bills in it as well.
Money / Abundance Mixture: (Do not repost)
Originally, this served as the base of the money bowl, which I would set the above mentioned items upon. I disliked that the above items became covered in glitter and ginger powder, so I separated the mixture and put it in a jar. I use it in workings to bring abundance and money.
Listed alphabetically:
Basil
Beans
Catnip
Eucalyptus
Gold Glitter
Ground Cinnamon
Ground Cloves
Ground Ginger
Ground Nutmeg
Quick Oats (Oatmeal)
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Roasted & Salted Sunflower Seeds
Rosemary
Sea Salt
Silver Glitter
Thyme
White Rice
You can add / leave out what you wish. I don’t have exact measurements, sorry! This mixture is not edible and should not be made into anything that will be consumed or ingested.

You might think that cables and chords tangle themselves due to a combination of tiny vibrations over time and the initial position and elastic potential of the cables in question.
You might think that leaving the cable in a dense spiral (the most common storing method) would allow the "upper strings" to fall to the side over time, but (due to the elastic tension at the other end of the part that fell) they wouldn’t fall perfectly to the ground, which would result in the tangles and knots.
YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!!
The truth that so many don't want to accept is that there are nefarious creatures that sneak into people's homes with their only intention being to knot and tangle their cables, chords, and wires! Creatures so foul that they do this heinous act for no reason other than wicked glee.
These elusive and slippery beings are known only as the “Cable Elves”, and there is no house, home, or building safe from their evil entangling ways.
BASIC INFORMATION:
APPEARANCE:
1.04 ft tall (0.4 m) on average
5 lbs (2.27 kg) at most
Skin is rather pale and almost translucent; comes in a variety of colors, typically white/gray, yellow, green, and blue
Seem to mostly be hairless, though some have long, braided or twisted beards
Long, bony fingers with jagged fingernails; much the same with their feet and toes
Gangly limbs
Pointed ears
Short, curled tails, not unlike pigs
BEHAVIORS:
Nocturnal; dwell in dark places
Have the ability to slip in and out through tight spaces; the space under a door or the slightly opened zipper of a bag
Can be heard chuckling to themselves while they tangle your cables, saying things like “hehe”, “tangle tangle tangle”, and “oh this one won’t come undone, no sir”
WEAKNESSES:
Proper organization and care for your cables, wires, and chords
ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story
Goddamn it tumblr, if I'm blocked by someone then please don't show me their posts. It's so heartbreaking to like a post only for the site to immediately unlike it. Like excuse me??? I was fucking liking that- oh OP blocked me. Oh. OK.

Ever year in summertime, generally in August, I tend to find a lot of cicada shells. Not only are they a cool curio, but they’re also useful for my personal practice. I’d like to share some of what I use them for with you!
Correspondences:
Change
Letting go
Moving on / Leaving things behind
Personal growth
Weight being lifted
Change Powder Recipe: (Do not repost)
Useful for workings relating to change, growth, and motivation.
1-3 Cicada Shells
Ginger
Garlic
Lemon Pepper
Thyme
Combine all in a mortar & pestle and grind until the shells are broken down.
Cicada Shell Change Spell (Do not repost)
1 Cicada Shell
Small Piece of Paper
Pencil
Taglock
Wax
(Opt) Change Powder
(Opt) Herbs / oils / etc. you associate with change
NOTE: Some oils might break down the paper and/or the shell, so be careful!
Write down on the paper what you want to change.
Roll or fold the paper small enough to fit into the cicada shell.
Carefully fit the paper and the taglock (& any powders, herbs, etc.) into the shell. Be careful, as the shells are brittle sometimes. If the shell breaks, don’t fret! Set it aside, it can be used to make change powder later. Just get another shell!
Once the paper is in the shell, seal the shell closed with the wax.
Keep where you like: personal altar, shelf, jewelry box, etc. Somewhere out of the way, where it won’t get hurt.
When the change has come to pass, dispose of the shell by burning it into ash.
This cipher, which is called “Fordese”, is what I’ll be decoding today!
As you can see, it’s a substitution “A=_” cipher, like Bill’s!
Using the key, I’ve had a lot of fun deciphering these messages. Note that I don’t have the special blacklight version, so there may be some extra in it that I can’t decipher.
I’m sure someone’s already done this, but I wanted to try my hand.
Here’s what I’ve been able to decipher. I’ll include the page they’re on and what they say, starting from the beginning. Apostrophes will be added to make some things easier to read, but they do not appear in the original messages. Other punctuation will be omitted, so brace yourselves for run on sentences.
Page: Inner flap of book cover
Message: Buy this book
Page: CODES
Message: I call this Fordese
(Fordese nuts! GOTTEM!)
Page: Squash with Human Face and Emotions
Message: Don’t eat him
Page: DO NOT LET OUT!
Message: Am I me is he me
Page: The diagram of the portal
Message: The portal when completed will open a gateway to infinite new worlds and herald a new era of mankind’s understanding of the universe plus it will probably get girls to start talking to me finally
(Bro... bro I could’ve fixed him... bro I could’ve loved him...)
Page: Something is not right.
Message: Fear the beast with just one eye
Page: MY MUSE WAS A MONSTER
Message 1: Interdimensional chess isn’t fun when you’re a pawn
Message 2: The devil has a silver tongue
Page: F WAS RIGHT
Message 1: (written at an angle; almost upside down) If Icarus could see me now
Message 2: Six eighteen
Page: The Blind eye
Message: If my suspicions are correct this is the work of Fiddleford does he really have to go to such great lengths to forget
Page: Wanted poster
Message 1: (beside his headshot) Rick was here
Message 2: (below his picture) Return for bounty armed and dangerous
Page: The Oracle
Message: The opposite of Bill
Page: ENORMOUS EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRAFT
Message: Some tiny alien spaceship may have survived perhaps in the town in robots disguised as humans
That’s all I can find from Ford in this cipher!
He does write a message in a similar cipher!
(Also via themysteryofgravityfalls)
I can only find one instance of it in the non-blacklight journal.
Page: Bill Cipher
Message: Liar monster snappy dresser
I’ll make posts deciphering the others another time.
Obsessed with this 2009 interview that @kittywhiskersmonday showed me where Brendon says Toki is the sister and Pickles is maternal. 14 years ago he already had this vision
