A blank check
Shiny new copper/gold coins
Silver Jewelry (nothing cheap!)
A Credit Card (gold if you have it!)
Old Receipts
Old Canceled Checks
A black ball point pen
Any Walking Tax Deductions (Tell the kids they can play later!
This is
important!)
Place the blank check to the East, the copper/gold coins to the
south, the
silver jewelry to the west, and, your gold card to the north!
Place receipts and checks in the center (You might want to sprinkle
some
about for protection) along with the tax write-offs.
Turn to the East:
"Abundantia! Goddess of abundance! We call on you, it is Tax
Time,
and we
need an abundance of funds in the checking account! Be with us
now!"
Turn to the South:
"Cal-Shen! God of Wealth! We call on you! It is Tax Time, come be
with us
now! And I do mean NOW!"
Turn to the West:
"Shichi-fukujin, Goddess of treasure! We call on you! It is Tax
Time and we
need you to appease the IRS! Be with us now!"
Turn to the North:
"Hades! God of wealth, treasure, gold, silver and finances! Do we
ever
need you now! Be with us!"
Ok, next step, work the spell:
Take up the black pen and, sketching a dollar sign in each
direction, say:
"By this do I banish all audits!" (You might want to do this
twice!)
Now, take up a handful of receipts and canceled checks (and/or give
them to
the kids to hold up). Wave them in each direction, saying: "By
this
do I
invoke a generous Tax return!" (If necessary, add the following:
"By this
will I be granted an extension! A long extention!!"
Almost done! Get your Tax deductions to sit with you there in the
center.
Now envision Tax forms, a pile of tax forms all perfectly,
faultlessly
filled out. Imagine that who ever peruses these tax forms will be
filled
with compassion and mercy. Now imagine these tax forms folded into
envelopes, imagine them sealed, stamped and starting to float. Now
send them
spinning round the circle. Imagine the right postmark appearing on
the
stamps! Spin them round and round into a cone of power along with
blessing
to efficient postal workers, and one to your accountant (that will
activate
only if he/she didn't screw up!).
Now send them off!
Ground yourself.
Now thank and release each deity: Hades, Shichi-fukujin, Cai-Shen
and
Abundantia! Don't forget to tell them the check's in the mail.
Now take those tax write-off into the kitchen for some much needed
milk and
cookies, and thank the Goddess that this only happens once a year!
