If you're going to buy a book on money magic, buy this one first. Not looking for a book on money magic? Well, buty it anyway!

This is the book that the magical community needs. It is a book founded on practical knowledge, providing the reader with a practical foundation to magically create long-lasting wealth.

Too many books are focused entirely on emergency magic-magic for quick cash, to pay the rent, purchase a new car, get a job. None of them-outside of the hoodoo tradition- seem to focus on the practical matters, such as keeping away debt collectors while attempting to improve your credit, protecting your money and job, and ensuring that the money you DO have is spent wisely.

I love Jason Miller's books. I'm not sure if its because he encorporates so much of hoodoo practice into his magic, or if its because they're so refreshing to read- like a breath of fresh air. The sheer practical nature of this book makes me want to jump for joy.

His chapter on investing is really, really informative, even more so because I just turned 21 and I was wondering about investing, making big purchases, paying off student loan debt, and basically being for fiscally responsible. (I feel adult saying that word)

Maybe when I'm a 65 year old biddy with a fur coat and magical rings adorning all of my fingers I can meet Jason Miller in person and thank him for telling me not to soend my money that XBox One and Hitman and saving to invest instead.

Hands down this is one of the best book on financial improvement I have read to date and I have read several. By far the best one for money magick. Jason Miller deals with common sense and shuns al the miracle crap. Sorcery can improve your odds of success but it is no guarantee he will tell ya. He is right. A bad business idea cannot be saved no matter how much magick you use. Wanna win the lottery as a wealth strategy think again. Most books on magic cover deities, spells and herbs related to magic. Jason gives you magic but he does not rely too heavily on it. Complementing the magic he gives the reader strategies to get out out debt, job hunting skills, how to get ahead at the work place, how to deal with negative situation. Magic and sorcery are to be used every step of the way not just for emergencies. The path to wealth is one of work and planning there are no overnight solutions. There are some great tactics and tips for emergency situations when you need fast money. That means magic and secular means for getting money and the suggestions are good.

I am not usually one for strict formulas and I always variate from them anyways. THe author does not weigh the reader down with rigid rituals. I sometimes I wish he did so I would have something to deviate from. The book has great meditation techniques and cover techniques from Hoodoo, High magic and the far east. I would recommend getting his book strategic sorcery before reading this one it will give you a much fuller picture. Happy Trails on the road to riches.

Interestingly, Jason Miller seems to have found a market that seems to be largely untapped-that of a self-help system combining common sense financial suggestions (often not so commonly known) with magical practice. As he states in the book, it is often advocated by those who wish to follow a spiritual path to eschew finances as unimportant, or the root of some universal evil. But he asserts that it is not money itself, but how it is used and perceived that is the problem. For those who cannot simply divest themselves of all material possessions and become Tibetan priests, he offers beneficial tips on ways to generate more income on both the magical and practical levels. Skeptics may dismiss the practices as "visualization" or "positive thinking." What matters is the positive results that are achieved.

If you know nothing about money and nothing about magic then this book will serve you well. If on the other hand you know just enough about both subjects to be dangerous, to yourself more than others, then you can probably skip it. There are better books on money and better books on magic. But it’s nice to see both tackled together in such an interesting way and this is still a useful reference.

Please note that this book is based on the financial situation in America and is written around the year 2010. This of course colours the rest of the content.
What I enjoyed: The book started off well by being easy to read and discussing the difference between being rich and being wealthy and how wanting to win the lottery is just an excuse in many cases not a goal.
It also discusses the nature of money a bit - how its energy and wants to move and be respected.
Then it goes on to discuss a few basic breathing and meditation exercises as well as which "higher powers" he recommends to work with in respect of wealth building.
And finally, my favourite chapter - the symbols and Jupiter Glyphs. Not something I have seen before and am looking forward to testing out and see how they work. Save for the ones that directly "influence others" - that just does not sit right with me.
What I did not enjoy: 2/3 of the book assumes you have zero knowledge about finances from obvious things like "don`t buy what you cannot afford" to "sell stuff on ebay" and "get a part time job if you need one" - unless you are very young or have always had financial support, you will probably have figured most of this out by now in life.
As noted above, its written with America in mind - I would very much like to see a savings account that gives 8% interest in the UK! (If there is one, please let me know!)
The amount of self-promotion bugged me. I just purchased this book but half the time I felt like I needed to buy his other book or join his course in order to get the full picture.
The lack of magical safety - was this supposed to be described in his other books or did the book assume that beginners would not pick this up? I am not sure. But the rare magical spells and rituals that we did get in this book came with no details on how to ensure that you are not affecting someone else's free will (and how that may backfire!) and in fact some of the spells seemed aimed at affecting another`s free will, which did not sit right with me.
I would also have expected some guidance on how to do any rituals and spells correctly and protect yourself from unwanted backlash - kind of like a magical seatbelt. Alas there was none.
I think I will have to re-read some of the 1/3 of the book to get more benefit out of it, but anything past chapter 7, was not particularly useful for me personally.
I unfortunately cannot get behind the hype that surrounds this book - it was a certain degree of entertaining, but overall I did not love it.

I probably shouldn't be writing this review right now because I'm exhausted, but I'll probably forget more if I leave it.

This had me feeling mixed about this.

Yay for an Eclectic path book.
But it felt very Christian / Buddhism oriented, which felt jarring. Literally everything he suggested was like 'use this Saint!' which felt... off-putting. And it cherry picked things from other religions too much.
And if you aren't into the Roman pantheon, specifically Jupiter... this book won't be for you. I personally am not sure if Jupiter fits into my personal path, but it's certainly something I want to reflect on.

Also a lot of it felt like a rehash of most financial advice, including some dubious suggestions that generally come across as common sense... also reading it in 2022, it now feels quite outdated. I mean... I haven't purchased a DVD in years, so the talk about DVDs felt very... meh.

I also felt like this book is not at all neurodivergent friendly... it was very 'You need to have THIS ROUTINE AND STICK WITH IT! If you can't do that, then f*ck off' (no those weren't his words, but the vibe was there several times).. also there were a few other ableist things that jumped out at me.

However, there are things that I do want to incorporate into my practice, and has made me take a different look at how I look at/have a relationship with Wealth in a spiritual sense.
I liked the concept of the set points, and how to rework them.

Like someone else has said, I will probably reread the first 1/3rd of the book, but after that, it wasn't very useful for me.

I'm not sure if I want to go find his other book, because it felt like every other page he was discussing it, and half the context was missing because it was discussed/shown in that book instead.

Ehhhhh we shall see.

3 stars because I did write down a few things to research/incorporate into my workings, but no more than that because I'm too tired to feel at all generous like I used to be with my ratings.

Oh and I seriously wouldn't mind actually knowing how to find my a cabal/coven of practitioners who specifically work their magic in the stock market, because that's the kind of investment firm I would be happy to trial an investment with. My kind of magical people as it were. He mentioned this group like 4 times, but without any information other than 'I know these people who do this and they do it very well!'.

[Llyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I entered into reading this book with a fair bit of skepticism but, around the point where the author starts explaining the concept of set-points, I began revising my opinion.
Having finished the book, I do feel that this ought to be on the "must read" list of anyone (pagan or otherwise) who would like to live beyond the hand-to-mouth of day to day survival ... especially in their elder years.

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of this book is practical advice, which is helpful, and there are resources. If you've read Jason's other books then you won't be surprised. He advocates for practical steps for everything and his strategies are only to help enhance the work you're doing.

However, I wish there was an updated version. This book is a decade old, and some of the resources mentioned are no longer relevant (mint, for example), or situations that may be dated (the statistical data). I took off a star or two for this. Had I read it earlier, I would probably give it another star.

[Onyx · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book I would have rather avoided. I already passed this book up once before when I was notified a few years ago it came in. I’m generally a non-materialist. But it kind of slid under the synchronistic door when things got tough...yet not impossible. So this time I got it and read it. I found myself reading the whole thing in an amount of time I haven’t done for a while. It’s not because I was particularly interested. It’s because I just did.
The book’s cover is incredibly irritating, but I guess there’s something to be said about not judging a book by its cover. For a person like me that tries to stay away from crass materialism and prefers not to know what greed monsters do, I found a few of my speculations confirmed, a few things I wasn’t aware of, and a few awarenesses I was surprised to come to. And this is coming from someone who’s not a fan of high magic, seeing it as overkill and probably fit for something akin to Catholic pomp...so yeah, I’ve been reluctant to read this author. Yet at the same time, out of most all spellcasters, I found high magicians to be the most level-headed and made the most sense in spite of it all. This author happens to be one of them. I might not like some of his style of working, but I like how he comes across.
The last chapter was, for me, the toughest to read. Surprise surprise...it was the most money-focused, so of course it was a struggle. But I got through it.
I would give it five stars, but considering the subject matter...*financial* sorcery...and I’m not that comfortable with overtly material affairs...I have a problem with something that can easily get out of hand and ruin a person’s values, perspective, attitude, behavior, and actions like a common street drug. But it was really well-written anyway and no doubt really useful, since as long as a person has to live within a developed civilization, that person has to put up with its presence.
I’ll probably go back to it again and pick up a few ideas to review. They’re worth reviewing, even if I am allergic to the subject of finance.

*. *. *.

Oh yeah...the “set points.” Those “set points!” After reading the other people’s reviews, I realized I forgot to mention set points. That explained for me why people actually think the way they do concerning politics, money, education, you name it...and not just the original discovery on why it’s tough to lose weight. That’s a springboard. The author’s theory of taking this from there and covering the large swaths of territory that is a person’s general philosophy amounted to a sunbreak in shedding serious light on that mysterious reasoning on why people are the way they are overall. Just becoming aware of that alone was memorable enough to make the book for me. Why people see money the way they do might be a small part of that theory, but it simply solved all kinds of difficulties in one fell swoop dealing with people and their opinions. It may only be speculation at the moment, but for now it seems to make so much sense. I’ll be less likely to get into full-blown arguments with people from other positions since I got an idea of what’s up. People’s gonna peep.

This is a practical guide to wealth magic, and just as importantly mundane measures a person can take to grow and sustain his/her monetary wealth. What I like best is how Jason Miller mixes magic with practical advice and shows why mundane measures must be employed along with magical efforts to succeed in wealth magic. He presents a variety of ideas on topics ranging from money management and investments to finding a job and getting a promotion to running your own business. I also like that he includes suggested reading with other books you can read to improve your financial knowledge. This is definitely a book you want to read if you are looking to employ wealth magic in your life.

[bhavita · Rating 2 out of 5]

As Mr. Miller is well recognized Master in Magic, every magician knows him, him being so famous I was expecting so much from his book (so this might be my expectation which didn't get fulfilled talking) but his advice was more financial than magical, they were good advice but my CA and my Dad gives me the same advice, for that I need not read this book, any basic tax payer or financial woke adult would know this.

In short in the book it was nothing I didn't already knew, if you are very young don't know basics of finance then may be this might help.

But if you are in your late 20's or more, (I am 27) I guess you might already know this.

[Quetzalzotz · Rating 1 out of 5]

Overall, I was pretty disappointed.

I ordered this book on the recommendation of a Podcast that I don't really like anymore given their gatekeeping and bizarre views of magic. That should have been my first clue.

I bought this book looking for advice on making money bowls, but instead I got various shaming. Fatshaming, poor shaming, some parts felt like ableism. I'm not here to get financial advice. I'd just go on the YNAB blog for free. I was here to try to gain some edge over the capitalist hellscape we live in.

I feel poorer for having bought this book.

[Caitlin P · Rating 1 out of 5]

The advice can be unhealthy and judgemental at times.

Contradicts the law of attraction.

Has un necessary paragraphs like health, mentioning I quote “My parents and grandparents are all overweight”
I fail to understand what this has to do with finances which is the title of the book.

Doesn’t have much magic information in it. It mostly repeats financial basics like don’t buy too much stuff and save money. I quote from the book “do not purchase dvds or blu rays”

[bearded monalisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some of the advice is more suitable for americans and hence not very useful in Europe. The sigils in the "by jove" chapter are great and the procedures ares very well explained and usefull.
Extra points for coming out in such a time of need.

Don't Bother with this one.

If you're expecting some money magic and conjuring, ypu won't find it here. What you will get is some very weak money management life coaching. This was a big disappointed unfortunately the book couldn't be returned.

A wonderful book that goes beyond the magic and also focuses on the practical. Great strategies to improve finances and build a better relationship with money.

[Thomas Pinneck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jason Miller’s Financial Sorcery is a breath of fresh air in the world of magical texts. While many books on money magic tend to focus on quick fixes and spells for immediate relief, Miller’s approach is grounded, strategic, and aimed at creating lasting prosperity. This isn’t just another book of prosperity spells—it’s a comprehensive guide to transforming your relationship with money through both magical and mundane strategies. The goal is not just to solve financial problems but to build a stable and abundant life using a blend of practical finance skills and powerful magical techniques.

From the outset, Miller makes it clear that his intention is to move beyond traditional concepts of “money magic.” He introduces readers to the idea of financial sorcery, which blends magical practice with real-world financial acumen. The term itself suggests a deeper integration of magical work into the process of wealth-building, making it clear that prosperity isn’t just about casting a spell and hoping for the best—it’s about aligning your magical efforts with strategic action. Miller’s writing is engaging and direct, breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible ideas without losing any of the depth or nuance.

One of the most valuable aspects of Financial Sorcery is its emphasis on mindset. Miller devotes significant time to exploring the mental and emotional blocks that often keep people from attaining financial success. Instead of seeing money as a “necessary evil” or a source of stress, he reframes it as an energy that can be joyfully worked with as part of one’s spiritual discipline. This shift in perspective alone can be transformative for those who have struggled with negative beliefs around wealth. Miller’s approach is empowering and liberating, encouraging readers to see money not as something to fear or shun but as a tool that can be used ethically and creatively to shape their lives.

The book is structured around clear, actionable steps for improving one’s financial situation, from tackling debt to creating multiple streams of income. Miller’s approach is thorough and well-organized, making it easy for readers to find what they need and implement it right away. He addresses both the macro and micro aspects of wealth-building, offering guidance on everything from job hunting and career advancement to creating long-term investments and managing debt. This balance ensures that Financial Sorcery is as useful for someone just starting out on their financial journey as it is for seasoned practitioners looking to refine their approach.

The magical components are just as detailed and sophisticated. Miller doesn’t rely on cookie-cutter spells or vague rituals. Instead, he presents a variety of techniques that include money drawing spells, prosperity talismans, offerings, and strategic enchantments designed to support specific goals like landing a job, attracting clients, or clearing financial obstacles. One of his standout techniques is the use of macro- and micro-enchantment—a method that allows readers to apply magical principles to larger, long-term objectives (macro) as well as immediate, short-term tasks (micro). This layered approach gives practitioners the flexibility to address both immediate needs and long-term financial goals, making their magical work more nuanced and effective.

Miller’s focus on making offerings is another highlight of the book. He explains how making offerings to deities, spirits, or the universe itself can increase the flow of prosperity and set the stage for greater financial success. This element of reciprocity—giving as well as receiving—adds a spiritual dimension to the practice of wealth-building that is often missing from other financial guides. It’s a reminder that money, like all energy, flows best when it’s engaged with in a respectful and reciprocal manner.

Throughout Financial Sorcery, Miller challenges readers to rethink old concepts and beliefs about money, encouraging them to embrace new strategies that reflect the realities of today’s financial world. This includes not just magical techniques but also practical advice on leveraging opportunities during times of economic uncertainty, creating passive income streams, and using strategic sorcery to get out of debt. The combination of magic and real-world strategies is where this book truly shines, offering a holistic approach that respects both the seen and unseen forces at play in financial success.

[Jessica Nightshade · Rating 5 out of 5]

Financial Sorcery by Jason Miller is an eye-opening blend of practical advice and magical technique, transforming the way readers think about wealth. Miller’s approach goes beyond mere "money magic" and focuses on a long-term, strategic vision for financial well-being. His step-by-step guidance offers a refreshing take on building wealth—not just through spells, but by changing our relationship with money and applying sorcery to create lasting abundance.

Miller’s insights into economic cycles and “macro- and micro-enchantment” add depth to the usual money magic conversation. Instead of relying on quick-fix spells, he shows readers how to work with prosperity as a spiritual practice, with offerings, rituals, and mindset shifts that align financial growth with spiritual values. From crushing debt to finding new income streams, Miller’s advice is both empowering and actionable.

What makes Financial Sorcery stand out is how seamlessly it integrates magical and mundane tactics, making it practical for any reader serious about financial success. For anyone seeking a magical yet grounded approach to money, Miller’s work is a powerful resource that delivers real value and guidance for a prosperous life.

[Kelly Miess · Rating 5 out of 5]

IMO this is a book to skim-read and then re-read the sections that are pertinent to one's self. There is a lot of advice, both magical and mundane, that will not apply to all readers. In fact, the book seems more aimed at 20-something readers or those in financial straights. For example, there is very good advice about the benefits of compound interest and Roth IRAs. That said, the book is through and packed with plenty of fantastic information for anyone wishing for better financial well-being. The sections I found more useful for myself were the ones that talked about the magical approaches to achieve wealth. The chapter on set points, a bundle of related beliefs about what you "deserve," alone was worth more the price of the book. I can clearly see how one's set points can limit one's acceptance of abundance of all kinds no matter the level or magical or mundane action applied. I also much appreciated the chapters on core skills, "the powers that be" and Jupiter in particular. Still, for me by far the most important concept was of set-points and how to reset them. Now, back to Chapter Six....

[Amanda Papenfus · Rating 3 out of 5]

I almost feel unfair rating this book since I read the last 69 pages this month & the rest previously and I haven’t flipped back over what was covered earlier. There are some good ideas in it. But a lot of it in the pages I read this month rubbed me the wrong way, like he says “If you are an adult and only have money in a checking account and savings account, you are screwing up” and after explaining why he says “You feel stupid now, don’t you?” He does acknowledge he feels stupid because he made this mistake and obviously wants people not to do the same. But saving extra in a way that can be put in interest-bearing accounts isn’t feasible for people living paycheck to paycheck. It’s a lack of extra money not stupidity. That said he’s also motivating at times. Like after talking about the importance of starting to invest at 21, he said not to be discouraged if you’re not young and “If you are 65 you can still invest! Remember that $2000 a year becomes $58000 after 20 years and chances are you will still be kicking around at 85 years old.” So that’s a nice perspective since I’m not at a point to invest what he recommends at 37 but I should be by 65.

[Damian · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's probably not a book for everyone. I mean, I found it interesting, and I definitely picked up several ideas that I hope to put into practice. However, there were two things that felt a bit less engaging to me. First, some chapters are repeated from another book, so reading the same thing multiple times isn't exactly thrilling. Second, the entire perspective of the book is rooted in American life and economics, so if you don't live in the U.S., there's quite a bit you'll need to adapt.

Also, while there are several exercises, rituals, and magical suggestions, the book leans heavily into economic strategies—so it's not entirely about magic. That's something important to keep in mind. It's not the best thing I've read, but it's alright.

[Lijah · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think it's a good book, but it’s less about magick and more about finance strategies/mindsets... at least more than I wanted. It’s also a bit long and hard to get through if money and finances don't interest you much. Still, helpful insights, just not quite what I was looking for. If you’re a young adult (such as myself) just looking for a summer job or some quick cash, this isn’t the book for you. However, there are some useful spells/rituals in it too. I think I might've enjoyed it if I'd read it a little later in my life when I'd be focusing more on my finances and career path. Right now, most of it wasn't very applicable for me.

[Lilla · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 rounded up. Some good ideas but largely this book isn't anything like my practice. This book leans on high magick and eclecticism a bit more, and I'm a very folksy person who follows only one group of gods from a specific culture rather than dipping my fingers in a whole lotta pies. But the astrological info was good and I'll use it to inform things I create myself.

There were moments in this that felt a bit culturally appropriative, like him just dipping into Eastern religions to pluck out things.

[Samantha Strong · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only thing I wish this book had was a few words about integrating the suggestions with his Sorcery of Hekate class. I think I know how to do it, and I've used a pendulum to get some answers about what can and can't be integrated (because this is based on working with Jupiter & other planetary powers, which can't be mixed with the Hekatean Sorcery class); however, it would be nice to have direct advice from him.

[Jasmine · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's some interesting stuff in this, but a lot of it is financial advice. Considering the year it was written, a good deal of that advice is completely outdated and doesn't really navigate the capitalist landscape we're in currently. Worth a read if you want to know some information about the more magical aspects, but with basic finances I'd recommend reading a book that was written post Covid all things considered.

[Gebo · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a book on finances than sorcery. It's kind of like a condensed version of one of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books with a wide variety of ideas for some extremely eclectic occult practice. There's little that's practical unless you're a novice at the occult or finances. Still, it's worth the read, but use it to springboard your ideas.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Took me a while to come back to this book and finish it, but I am glad I did! A very approachable text with every day action steps and ways to incorporate magic along the way. Some techniques are beyond my skill and interest level but I feel like there is something in this book for everyone.

Solid, but not for beginners.
If you are already a practitioner, you'll get crucial pointers. If you haven't done ceremonial magi(c)k, sigils etc before, you will not take much from this book that'll actually help your financial situation.
