Bit off-topic here but… when you think about it, the art of money and currency could be seen as a magickal current. It’s essentially transmutation of thought, energy and matter, and at the same time about moving abstract and basically made-up value akin to thought constructs in order to create real value in the physical realm.
Banking especially is all about transmuting lead to gold… in all kinds of ways. And don’t get me started on the magick involved in double book-keeping…!
