"Success is simple: Do what's right, the right way, at the right time."
-Arnold H. Glasglow
In this time of need and financial desperation, I've been noticing that there's been a great deal of interest in getting out-from-under bad debts, vocational entrapment, and in finding better financial straits. Knowing this, I'd like to help.
In this post, I'll be providing several means of helping yourself to achieve success. Some of these things will be magical, whereas others will be somewhat more mundane. Many float somewhere in the middle of those two extremes, as magic is amazing at helping you to grease the wheels.

1) Elubatel
For those of you who are familiar with Geoff Gray-Cobb, Elubatel is something of an old hand at success rites. Whether E appears to you as male or female, it's essence is powerful and generally pretty positive.
I highly recommend printing this sigil out and lighting a daily offertory candle to Elubatel. It certainly can't hurt.

2) Offerings
Jason Miller talks about this a lot in his work, and I feel similarly: offerings are very important. Its like giving thanks for the help you've gotten from others, only it can include spirits too.
To use an analogy, If you're living in a neighborhood and one of your neighbors is generous & friendly, and another is sort of a stingy jerk, you're more likely to help the nice guy out when he needs it. Offerings make you the nice neighbor, and so they really can't be overused in my experience.
Whether you decide to light incense for the spirits around you or pour booze out for them, take the time to do so. Over a few weeks you'll likely notice a substantial shift in your life.

3) Cleaning
Yep, I know. For some of you, this is the scourge of all that is holy. We frequently don't want to take physical actions to sort ourselves out, but this is an important one.
Take the time to dust off your home, clean your magical goods, reconsecrate them, and remove extraneous crap from your home.
Do you have a bunch of stuff you no longer use, or clothes you no longer wear? Time to take those things to Goodwill (or another such establishment) to donate them, as the very act of donating things can be seen as an offering too.
The less clutter and distraction you have, the better. You don't want to have more & more stuff getting in the way of your focus, as it screws up your energy flow and messes with your juju.

4) Meditation
Once you've cleared out your home, its time to do the same thing with your mind.
As time allows, find yourself a comfortable place to relax, sit yourself down with some pleasant-smelling incense and retreat inwards. Close your eyes, stop moving your lips, and just watch what comes to the surface.
Don't try to interact with these things. Just take note of them and keep a journal.

5) Blessings
Generate some good-will and aim it at yourself. This might seem like derpy new-age material, but you're a complex organism with a great deal going on. You need to take care of you, just as much as you're inclined to take care of others.
Put another way, generate some good vibes for yourself. Light candles with the intention of looking after yourself. It wouldn't be wrong to view blessings as offerings for the self. :)

6) Prayer
If you believe in a higher power, work with Saints, or otherwise have a specific Divine avenue you'd like to use to better your life, backing your work up with prayer is a good way to go.
Pray for happiness, monetary success, and financial health. Those are good goals that most spirits aren't going to take issue with.

7) Sigils
For those of you that are like me and secretly love sigil magic (well, not so secretly here), yep, I'm telling you to play around and have it.
In doing all of the above things, you'll have primed yourself for having the mental attitude necessary for magic, so sigils are a good way to go. Here are a few to get you started:

 Convey value to yourself  Relationship booster  Increased enjoyment  Call Helpful Spirits |  Success for yourself  Healing  Gratitude  Road Opener |
8) Mindset
If you can't be positive, be neutral.
Its a simple enough statement, but take it to heart. The calmer you are about your situation, the more available you'll be when opportunity strikes.
