So how is Wealth measured? Is it in terms of assets? I would say not, but rather in terms of control one has over people and material and ultimately over one’s own experiences, achieved by economic activities.
Money is an abstract concept used to quantify economic activity, thus wealth is a measure of how well you control your experiences with money. Assuming that varied, exciting, unusual, and stimulating experiences are preferable to dull ones and that they tend to be expensive for this reason, then the main problem for most people is to find a highly efficient form of money input that has the above agreeable qualities. The aim of wealth magick is to establish a large turnover of money that allows agreeable experiences at both the input and output stages. This demands what is called Money Consciousness.
Money has acquired all the characteristics of a "spiritual" being. It is invisible and intangible, coinage, notes, and electronic numbers are not money. They are merely representations or talismans of something which economists cannot coherently define. Yet although it is itself intangible and invisible it can create powerful effects on reality. Money has its own personality and idiosyncratic tastes, it avoids those who blaspheme it and flows towards those who treat it in the way it likes. In a suitable environment, it will even reproduce itself.
The nature of the money spirit is movement, money likes to move. If it is hoarded and not used, it slowly dies. Money thus prefers to manifest as turnover rather than as unexploited assets. Monies surplus to immediate pleasure should be re-invested as a further evocation, but the true money-conscious find that even their pleasures make money for them. Money consciousness gets paid to enjoy itself. Those in money consciousness are by nature generous. Offer them an interesting investment and they will offer you a fortune. Just don't ask for small cash handouts.
The attainment of money consciousness and the invocation of the Wealth-self consists of the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of the predilections of the spirit of money and a thorough exploration of personal desires. When both of these have been understood, real wealth manifests effortlessly.
