Pagan Culture Blogs Terence P Ward Pagan savings challenge, week twenty-seven: just duckyExploring Pagans and their relationship with that earthiest of earth symbols, money.
Money is very often seen as a completely pedestrian thing, such that anything touched by the stuff is automatically not spiritual. Don't be fooled! Just because mainstream society embraces it completely doesn't mean that money does not have its own spirit and esoteric roles to play. That's part of the reason for there being a Pagan savings challenge at all: to encourage people of these communities to work with money according to our values and using our tools.

I can't tell you what the connection between the rubber ducky and the spirit of money is, because it is a mystery, meaning it must be experienced for itself. What I can say is that if you feel completely crushed or oppressed by thoughts of money or its impact on your life, consider the rubber ducky, and perhaps you shall understand.

Seriously? You sold your car because a piece of cardboard told you to?

Yea say the bones, but you think: No, nay!
So now you know your real mind on the matter.
There's your real answer, subtly delivered.
A Word to the Wise: Use your divination.
