Also called money bowl, prosperity bowl, abundance spell bowl
A bowl filled with grain, coins, herbs and a written intention, kept on a shelf and added to over time so wealth 'gathers' like the contents. The money-bowl form is modern, from the 2010s, with older full-vessel customs behind it.

Take care: Keep candles beside the bowl, never in dry herbs, and never unattended. Respect Hindu kalash worship as a living devotion rather than copying its consecration.
A brass or copper pot holding water or rice, coins and turmeric, crowned with mango leaves and a coconut, becomes the seat of the goddess Lakshmi for the day of worship. It is a living devotion, so the open bowl above borrows the idea of a full vessel, not the rite itself.
Uses: kalash pot, rice, coins, mango leaves, coconut
Families top up the rice jar before New Year's Eve and never let it run empty over the holiday, since an empty jar foretells a lean year. Some add coins or red paper.
Uses: rice jar, rice, coins
A bowl of coins, crystals and symbols placed in the 'wealth corner' of a home. Practitioners writing about money bowls suggest it was a direct model for the modern witchcraft version.

The money bowl as practised today is recent. It spread through witchcraft blogs and social media in the 2010s, and even writers who teach it say they cannot find a single older source. It mixes the feng shui wealth bowl, the manifestation habit of writing goals as if achieved, and Hoodoo-style use of money herbs. Saying this plainly does not make it less useful; it simply places it correctly.
The idea underneath, that a full vessel invites fullness, is old and widespread. In Hindu worship the kalash, a pot of water or grain, coins and leaves, is the seat of the goddess Lakshmi during Varalakshmi Vratam in South India and at Diwali. Chinese households keep the rice jar full at New Year. Europeans set out bowls of grain, nuts and coins at the turning of the year. The modern bowl inherits that logic.
A green candle is dressed with oil and herbs, marked with what you need, and burned over coins to draw money. It is a 20th-century form that grew out of Hoodoo and mail-order candle magic, now common in modern witchcraft.
On the new moon night of Diwali, Hindu households clean the home, draw rangoli and small footprints at the door, and light clay lamps so that Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, will find and bless the house. This entry describes the religious practice respectfully and offers an open lamp-lighting version.
A three-legged golden toad sitting on coins with a coin in its mouth, placed in the home or shop to draw in money and keep it from leaving. It belongs to Chinese folk belief and feng shui.
