The only thing I miss from FS chapter 3 about core skills is about creating a sacred space, creating a circle, opening/calling the quarters/elements etc.

I used to be really strict and only do goldendawn styled pentagram and hexagram rites.

Now i have collected a bunch of them. And use them like a different tools for different things.

Financial sorcery chapter 3 -Core skills

This is my favourite chapter of the book, and probably the most important. Do not skip doing the practices, and do them often/daily until you get a hang of them.

Jason keeps it pretty simple compared to the sorcerers secrets
Meditation. For me the most effective form is repeating a mantra.

Breathing, Jason gives instruction for the vase breath. I have kind of skipped doing this for a while but after working with it. Doing about 5 mins a day and keeping going with this type of breathing it kind of klicked.

To get the most out of the pillar and spheres, do this breathing.

Pillar and spheres. Jason give a simplified version of this compared to his earlier book.
You establish a current with the above and below and then place elements in a alchemical order along the spine.

For more oompf: vibrate IAO in the spheres like you would do in the middle oillar ritual.

Do circulate the energy!

Intelligence gathering! I kind of lack with this as a daily practice, i use p3ndulum, runes or tarot mostly if i need to know what i need to know.

The last point of core skills is altars.
This is a area that i can improve. I tend to have "workspace" and then i keep periodically places on shelves and tables for different dietys and spirits. It would be cool to have a more shrine looking one, with dollies and novena candles crystals and whatnot. I tend to prefer things to look pretty normal around the house.

Chapter 2 of financial sorcery.

Money as spirit.
This chapter goes into the relationship we have with money.

If we cannot avoid it it is best to master it so it does not master us. Jason goes into that money likes to be honored, that it flows and has movement, it does not like being stale.

Jason goes into some examples of how we can waste money on things that does not give value depending on your situation.

A bit in charity- if you give, the universe will open up a way to give back. Money likes to flow

Then there is the aspect of money how it is linked to time. Keep an eye out how much you get in return for your time.

Lastly Jason goes into how money is linked to people around you.
Connections for opportunities, and how getting more money flowing in your life can change relationships.

Overall what i got out of this chapter was to get me thinking about how i relate to money itself.

Chapter 1 - Perspective.

Key takeaway from this chapter is to take stock of where I am and where my goals are financially.

I am thinking about working through a book and posting some notes and thoughts about it.

The book I am thinking about is Jasone Millers financial magic.

I like how it sneaks in stuff like meditation and energy work. I also like does not offer a quick get rich quick but a more thoughtful way on how to approach money and wealth that is more grounded.

The daily routine.

I am once again fine tuning the daily routine of magical work.

I kind of need to get back to meditation.

Here's how it looks:

Energy work/qigong
Mantra
A fast banishing followed by a elemental zone rite
Invocation

A longer project.
Offering

And finishing off with drawing a rune.

Then doing Liber resh during the day.

Venus has entered Libra.
