Spiders:

If you see a small red spider, this is known as a money-spinner and it will bring you luck. To see a small spider crawl on you or on your clothes means that you will have good financial luck.

A brown spider in your home is an omen that money is heading your way.

Pigs:

To dream of being surrounded by pigs means that you will have someone asking you for money.

Enemies:

To plague an enemy with ill fortune, drop a bent coin into something of theirs, like their pocket, or a bucket, etc. If they do not discover it and throw it away before the sun sets, then they will be so distraught withill fortune that they will cease to pester you.

Black Penny:

This was a real coin that existed and was owned by a family named Turnbull in Northumberland, England. The Black Penny was "Not quite as big as a modern penny, but thicker. It had a kind of raised rim or border, andseemed composed of copper or zinc." This penny supposedly cured madness in cattle. This was accomplished by dipping the coin into South running water. The water was then drawn off and given to the cattle to drink. This coinwas loaned out quite often, and was eventually lost when being returned by mail around 1827.

Newborns:

The first gift made to a newborn is often a silver sixpence. It should be placed into the right hand, and this is not only done for good luck, but divination of their future money management can be ascertained from thechild's actions: If held tightly, the child will save money - or be a miser; If held loosely, the child will be generous; if dropped, the child will be a spendthrift.

Money Spell:

To ensure that you have money in your purse, you should place three leaves each of blackberry, bergamot, and bistort inside it.
