Prosperity spell and intent in magic

Greetings to all my my beautiful blogfriends. So, is Mercury in retrograde? I am asking because my day has been surreal. I 'll just tell you that. I am wearing one lense and it is making me dizzy. But without it i would be helpless.
Anyway, a couple of months ago,on an Esbat, i cast a prosperity spell on Petros. Before all Wiccans out there "jump" me, i 'd like to inform you that he asked for it. So, in the mean time he has closed a bunch of new jobs, and gigs, and a contract with a company. This particular prosperity spell, i have cast it in the past, a million times to other people and to myself of course. Without wanting to sound ungrateful at all, i thank the Goddess every day for my well being and everything She offers me, i have noticed that the spell works better on others.
I always wondered why that happens. But now with Petros 's amazing accomplishments, i gave it some extra thought. We know that in magic intent is everything, and maybe our intent is purer and hence more sacred when we try to help others than ourselves. Again, i want to point out that magic has never failed me. It has even given me a place i can call home, it helped me through the most difficult of times, it provided me with job and it has brought me the love of my life. I know how this sounds, but although i had to fight through pain and confront my greatest fears to accomplish all those things, i would n't have even half of them without magic. But i have to pay attention to what message the divine is sending to me.
The fact that the same spell on others is followed by more extaordinary events than on me, has to mean the intent is crucial and powerful. Also, without wanting to be judgemental on myself, i believe it shows i have to be a little less selfish. But not in the common meaning of the word. Helping others is my call. And although i do that, i have to do that more often. Besides, it makes me feel great(you can't totally extract the ego, can you?And why would you?).
So i want to give you the spell, just a little modified to rhyme in English. Feel free to make changes(you know my English are n't the best).
In this night and in this hour
I ask the Goddess to give me power
to light my way and in my path
to bring prosperity and luck.
Hey, i told you my English suckeds did n't i? For my beautiful greek readers, here is the original.
Αυτή τη νύχτα κι αυτή την ώρα
ζητώ απ'τη Θεά να μ' ακούσει τωρα
με τύχη το δρόμο μου να φωτίσει
και χρήματα πολλά να μου χαρίσει.
I always instead of calling the quarters, i mark them with four candles. In this case, as in any prosperity spell, green, yellow, and gold candles are the way to go. Incense to burn is rosemary,thyme,and chamomile(although it works better in water potions, especially in a bowl with water at the East side of the house on waxing moon). And if you can find candio i told you about(the pink sugary thing made of sugar canes) that really works. I love this insence.
Brightest blessings of luck and prosperity to all of you.
