THE green candle ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK

Abundance brings more abundance.

Green candles are often associated with money and wealth because green is the color of paper money in the United States. On an even deeper level, green symbolizes the abundant element of earth. Because of this, green candles are used to call in abundance of all kinds, as well as intentions regarding growth, creation, and fertility.

The appearance of the Green Candle card can be a sign that you are entering a period of wealth and abundance. Each time you move up to a new level of wealth it’s a direct result of a mindset shift you’ve gone through. Be grateful for the money and abundance you have so more can flow to you. Trust that any time you lose money, it’s ultimately for your highest growth and highest good.

The Green Candle card can also mean that you need to gently shift yourself out of a scarcity mindset and release any blocks that may be lingering around the ideas of abundance.

To do this, perform shadow work by thinking about your earliest memories of money and abundance. How was money or abundance spoken about in your house? Did your family have lots of money or were your parents always just scraping by? Do you sometimes feel guilty having money because on some level you feel it means others will have less? The Green Candle card urges you to shift your thinking and identify any false beliefs around money, so you can allow it to flow towards you in greater and more consistent amounts.

Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess

Light a green candle when you are working with money, such as creating a monthly budget or doing your taxes.

Bury a green candle in your garden for one lunar cycle so it can absorb the abundance energy from the earth. Burn it in your home whenever you need to call in more money or abundance in any form.

For a money spell, set the Green Candle card on your altar along with the wand card (to focus your energy), a few coins or paper money (or a picture of whatever your desire is), the Citrine card (for money), the Yellow Candle card (for success and completion), and the Earth card to power your magic. On a piece of paper, write your intention and place it in the center of your altar. This is an excellent ritual to do during the new moon and waxing moon phases.
