Penny Finding Spells

Everyone knows the rhyme:

"See a penny, pick it up, all the day you‘ll have good luck."

It is actually rooted in real folk magic. Finding a penny (once a real bit of money) means that money will come to you as well as good luck. My marking the occasion with a real acknowledgement, that potential good luck can be made a reality. Here are some variations, some traditional, some not:

"See a penny, pick it up, all this day I'll have good luck!"

"If the head is facing you, what you wish will come true!"

"If it is the back you see, with your money go be free!"

"If a silver coin is found, all you invest will be sound."

"If a coin is at your feet, soon you will some money greet."

These concern money found in different places corresponding to the four elements:

Money found in Earth

New profit will give birth

Money found in water

Gifts to son or daughter

Money found in air

Spend it without care

Money found near fire

Will grant your true desire
