Then come back here and read about the 2 dollar bill spiritual meaning and ways to invoke its prosperous energy!

What is the 2 Dollar Bill? A Bizarre History

The 2 dollar bill is a note of money printed here in the United States of America. The first two dollar bill was printed in March of 1862 and has been in circulation ever since. Contrary to popular belief. The printing of the two dollar bill ceased for a short span of time between 1966 and 1976, then being re-printed with a new design. Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the U.S., is printed on the face of this bill. While the reverse features an engraving of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Believe it or not, the 2 dollar bill is still being printed and circulated today. What’s funny is that it costs less to make the 2 dollar bill than the 1 dollar bill, yet it doesn’t get circulated as widely so not as many are printed. Some say the 2 dollar bill has a bad reputation and therefore carries bad luck with it.

That bad reputation goes back decades when it was believed politicians were bribing folks for votes with 2 dollar bills. In other unsavory situations, the two dollar bill may have been used in gambling rings, strip clubs, and other places further smearing its reputation over the years. Whether this is true or just urban legend, we might not ever know. The other aspect to the 2 dollar bill being bad luck is because people once believed the number 2, also called a “deuce”, was connected to the Devil. Who’s other name was “Deuce”.

The 2 Dollar Bill Spiritual Meaning and Properties

So what is the 2 dollar bill spiritual meaning and its magical properties? Let’s dive in:

1. The 2 Dollar Bill is GOOD LUCK when carried as a charm

4. And still others may see the 2 dollar bill spiritual meaning as a warning or as bad luck.

If you happen to be given a two dollar bill OR come across one in some other way, make a mental note of who gave it to you or where you received it.

How to Harness the Energy of the 2 Dollar Bill’s Spiritual Meaning and Make MAGICK

So we understand the rare magical essence that is the two dollar bill. And we know that it is linked to the Moon and to the Water element. But how do we make magick with it? How do we harness its essence to make prosperous changes in our lives? Here’s a few ideas based on my personal practice:

1. Money Candle Spells with the 2 Dollar Bill

One of the best ways to use the energy of the two dollar bill is in a money spell. And one of the most potent and easiest spells utilizes the two dollar bill and a candle. Simply carve your intentions into a green candle (you can carve money symbols or words into it), then place the bill below it. Burn the candle down all the way, then keep the remnants along with the two dollar bill in a bag near (or hung onto) the front door. Once your spell has manifested, recycle the two dollar bill by putting it back into circulation at a store/service, etc. This keeps the energy flowing.

2. Money Jar Spells

Another simple and powerful way of bringing money into the household or business using the 2 dollar bill spiritual energy is with a money jar spell. I have used this method time and time again with great success over the years. Essentially, you’ll place herbs, stones, coins, and other items that represent and draw prosperity into a jar of your choosing. Don’t forget the 2 dollar bill! Then set near the hearth (kitchen) of your home. Feed the inside ingredients with more herbs, words, etc. to grow the spell’s results. More on spell jars here.

3. Money Bowls

Money bowls are a recently popular mode of prosperity magic and are also simple to craft. These spells involve a bowl, rice or salt, coins, herbs that represent money, your 2 dollar bill, and candles. Craft the money bowl by placing the 2 dollar bill at the bottom, then pouring your base (salt or rice) over it, then adding the rest of the ingredients. Last, place your candles on top, light them and watch them until they burn out. Continue to feed this money bowl with coins and other ingredients to bring prosperity to your household.

4. As a Lucky Charm

You’ll like this method. All it requires is a two dollar bill and your pocket or wallet or purse. Simply place the bill in one of these and ask for it to help bring prosperity to you. There’s one caveat – once you feel the charm has worked, recycle the two dollar bill by using it to pay for a good or service. This keeps the money energy flowing all ways and keeps the 2 dollar bill in circulation for others to benefit from.

5. 2 Dollar Bill Spiritual Meaning as an Omen

When a two dollar bill crosses your path, it is an omen. As I mentioned before, depending on who hands it to you and where you acquire it will lead you to interpret the message. For example, let’s say you’re on a date. And the movie theater attendant hands you a 2 dollar bill as change. This is a good sign…a good omen that this date will go well and may even lead to love.

6. As an Offering to Moon and Prosperity Deities

Since this magical money note is linked to the moon, this by default connects it to moon gods and goddesses. I have used a 2 dollar bill as an offering to gods like Hecate, Selene, and Thoth in my practice before. You can do the same. Simply lay the bill on their altar and let them know why you’re giving it to them. They will bless you with prosperity in return.

7. Spell Bags to Draw Money and Luck

All you need for this form of magick is your two dollar bill, a small bag or sachet, and an herb that has prosperous properties like cinnamon, chamomile, etc. Place the bill and herb into the spell bag, then hang it on your front door to draw money and luck into the household. You can also carry this bag in your purse, car, or keep it at your desk at your office.

8. In a Poppet for Prosperity

Making a poppet to draw prosperity into one’s life is a powerful spell. And adding the 2 dollar bill to the equation amplifies the energy. You can roll up the bill and place it inside the poppet during construction. Or simply offer the 2 dollar bill to the poppet to feed your intentions.
