So How do I make a Lucky Penny?
You want to perform this spell on Sunday, the day of Apollo, God of Light and ALL Blessings. Also you need to find a penny or a coin. Any coin will do. It doesn’t matter the cost. Of course you can just use you own but by using a coin you found you put much extra luck in it!
Let’s take a look at the ingredients.
- try this ONLY on Sunday
- A coin you found!
- Sun Water (follows the recipe don’t worry)
- fresh cut Bay Leaf
How to make Sun Water (lost story short):
Just as you create Moon Water (click the link) you can create the Sun water. Sun Water cannot be stored. It has to be used instantly. So, take a glass jar and fill more than half with fresh water. Place it on a sunny place. Seal the jar and put it in direct sunlight for 2 or 3 hours. Ask Apollo’s blessing to charge the Sun. You might even want to invoke him. This will charge the Water with Sun Magic.
How to make the Lucky Penny using Sun Water
So take the fresh cut bay leaf and put it in the jar of Sun Water. Call the power of Apollo! Soak it in the sun water and stir the water clockwise three times. Leave the leaf inside.
Hold the Penny and chant:
“Apollo’s favor I seek to gain,
With this spell, luck shall remain,
By the power of Apollo and Sun’s divine,
I enchant this penny, make it mine.
Grant me blessings each day anew,
Fortune’s touch forever true.
Lucky penny, bring me wealth and cheer,
As I cast this spell, let luck draw near.”
Stir the penny clockwise three times in the Sun Water. Visualize the golden light shining and embodying the penny.
Take the penny and carve the peristigma around – the Solar Symbol. You can use a knife or a marker or even some permanent nail color – preferably with some glitter (at least that’s how I like it). Put it in your wallet or anywhere you want. Enjoy your Good Luck!
