Interesting topic --
I did one of the NAP workings for gold, and I didn't get any, but my best friend was suddenly OFFERED a huge gold advertising contract -- he was floored by this. There were a couple of rough moments when he thought the deal would fall through, so being a good sport, I did the working a couple of additional times to help see it through and it's been an on-going contract for him for something like three years.
Before I did any magick whatsoever on my own, I bought an (expensive) magic money candle prepared by an elderly warlock practitioner of some kind -- many people were actually kind of afraid of him, but he and I got along rather well, I used to see him for readings now and then. Anyways, I bought this candle as a birthday present for a Wiccan friend who had financial, physical and mental health problems. I felt concerned for her and I only did this because I knew she believed in it even though I had no particular belief or feelings about it at the time, it was a long time ago. She burned the candle but gave me some of the hardened candle drippings which I kept more as a gesture than anything else.
She got the proper help which she needed in order to live decently, but I benefited highly, perhaps from that candle. Now I'd like to find those bits of hardened candle out of curiosity, but I'm sure they're long gone!
