hey love, today we are talking about self concept and its various connections to manifesting! I hope this post will bring across how essential the meaning of your concept of self is. ♡

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓?

your self concept describes the way you perceive yourself and the world you live in. it’s the assemblage of all beliefs you have regarding yourself (outer appearance, your personality, your social life, and so on) and your environment (the people, their outer appearance, their personality, etc.). it’s essential when it comes to manifestations of any kind as they determine your manifestation process, how, when and if you will receive your desire. all in all, your self concept answers the question about who you are.

𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆﹕

I have a question for you. have you ever taken a look at the terminology in manifesting? terms like …

⤷ everyone is YOU pushed out

⤷ your 3D is a reflection of YOU

⤷ YOU are the operant power

⤷ YOUR assumptions create

all of these terms imply that creation, that life begins with (or within) you. you are the cause of everything and your outer world displays the effects.

❝ as within, so without. ❞

a good self concept implies …

… thinking of yourself as the most perfect version of yourself

… not letting others define you/ not depending on others/ not having your self worth based on other people

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓﹕

you know that every concept in manifesting depends on your set of beliefs. what you choose to accept, becomes reality. you and you only create your entire world with your concept of self. once you have changed the way you view yourself and make yourself worthy of manifesting whatever you want, you will not only embody your desired self with the best self concept but also be a master manifester.

therefore, you need to step into your power and name yourself as your highest ideal. become that person of your dreams, embody them, act like them, talk like them, be them as if you just decided to finally let go of your old self and portray the best version of yourself possible! don’t be afraid to do so. no physical effort is needed. it only requires a change from within, your mindset.

in order to change the way you view yourself, you need to become familiar with the words that describe your desired version of you. you stop addressing your desired self that way because from now on, you are your desired self. all the nice and kind affirmations apply to you now!

you can work on your self concept step by step by affirming. once you internalize your affirmations, they will become present at all times. at some point, you won’t need to repeat them consciously because your subconscious mind will. what you can do as well is commanding your subconscious mind. tell your subconscious what you want and it‘ll give it to you! additionally, you can visualize yourself. yes, visualize yourself as the most powerful being with the greatest amount of love for themselves, and more! you can try other methods as well that will help you become used to having a perfect self concept. however, every method boils down to deciding and knowing that you have it. technically, you can skip the methods and just accept that you have a perfect self concept. it’s as easy as that!

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄﹕

I would recommend you to affirm when you feel drowsy; before going to bed and after you wake up. affirming in the state akin to sleep is very beneficial! you can also affirm throughout the day. whenever your self concept comes up in your mind, state that it’s already perfect! the same goes for every method you choose to practice.

𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 !! don’t force yourself to affirm. do it whenever you feel like it. the world isn’t gonna end if you skip it. also, don’t affirm robotically. it shouldn’t be a chore. you are stating a fact, not a wish! remember, repetition creates persistence.

・❥ I am the only operant power in my reality

・❥ I have the most perfect self concept

・❥ I am the creator / god

・❥ manifesting is easy and effortless

・❥ I am a master manifester

・❥ I love myself

・❥ everything always works out in my favor

𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓﹕

begin with self.┊you are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.┊everything depends upon our attitude towards ourselves. that which we will not affirm as true of ourselves cannot develop in our life.┊the world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing, within yourself.┊nothing comes from without. all things come from within.┊believe that you are what you want to be.┊health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind-that is, by your concept of yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true.┊stop trying to change the world since it is only the mirror. man’s attempt to change the world by force is as fruitless as breaking a mirror in the hope of changing his face. leave the mirror and change your face. leave the world alone and change your conceptions of yourself.┊to reach a higher level of being, you must assume a higher concept of yourself.┊nothing is impossible to you.┊simply dare to assume you are what you want to be and you will compel everyone to play their part.┊there is nothing god cannot do!┊you can only be to others what you are first to yourself.┊change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. revalue yourself and they will confirm the change.┊your opinion of yourself is your most important viewpoint. you are infinitely greater than you think you are.

🛡 Warding 🛡

Disclaimer: This is all based on my research, path, opinion & experiences! Intro: I really was holding out on doing this post because it’s such a big, important topic to cover and I really don’t want to mess it up or get anything wrong. This post needs to be done though, people have asked if I have such a post and an anon suggested it. So finally, here it is. - What Is Warding? Warding is a type of magick, it is the act of creating an energetic barrier around you, your home, an object, ect. They can be temporary or permanent, although typically they are cast with the long term in mind. They can banish or turn away whatever you choose. Warding is an excellent skill to have because it can keep you, and even others safe and with practice you can do it anytime with just about whatever you have on hand. When Should I Ward? Whenever you want an energetic barrier around you, most people consistently ward their home, themselves or their place of practice. Some people even ward their space every time they prepare for a spell. It should be done consistently in any area you want protected, but exactly where and how often is entirely up to the practitioner. What Should I Do Before? Cleanse, a ward is a barrier of energy and in the same way that it keeps things out it also keeps things in. You don’t want to trap anything inside of it. Cleanse yourself before you ward yourself. Cleanse your space before you ward your space! Tips Before You Ward- Phrasing Keep the phrasing in mind! You don’t want to keep anything out that you want in, or let something in that you want out. If you’re chanting or using sigils ect keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out both in your methods and in your mind. Covering everything Make sure to cover everything, a ward is useless if there’s a weakness in it or if the ceiling & floor aren’t probably covered. Be super thorough! Layering Your Wards One small little wimpy barrier? Ha, the spirits say as they scramble into your home to wreak havoc! You need to layer your wards, don’t just use one method one time, there’s no such thing as too much warding. What Are Some Ways That I Can Ward? Now we’ll get right down to the methods you can use to ward yourself and your space! Remember that warding is important and needs to be effective, don’t try anything that you don’t have experience with for warding. At first, focus on the stuff you know. If you like sigils, use sigils at first and slowly work your way into using other more complex methods or methods that solely rely on your abilities. Circle Casting You cast a circle by summoning the four elements to protect & energize what is in the circle. - Here’s my post about circles & how to cast them Chanting/Speaking Come up with a protective chant you can use to ward your space. This chant could be someone else’s or your own as long as you feel it’s effective. Speak it aloud and visualize a layer of energy protecting your space. Incense Burn a protective incense in the space you’d like to ward and visualize a barrier protecting your space. Athame Draw out the line of your ward with your athame, visualize the wall appearing, covering everything with a thick layer of energy. Spraying Spray a mix of blessed/magickal waters and or herbs with protective properties in the space you want to ward. Sigils Create a sigil using your favorite method with the intent to “ward” or “protect/protection.” Then charge and activate it as a layer of protection! Here’s my post on sigils if you’re interested in that: - Sigil Post Jar Spells You could mix up a jar spell for warding, set it in your house and forget it as a layer of warding. - My protective jar spell post Anointment Anoint the doorways of your space, you could also anoint the ceiling, floor, walls, corners, honestly go for it. Salt Sprinkle salt all around the edge of your home or space. Make sure to sprinkle salt on the INSIDE of your harm as salt can harm plants & wildlife if used outside. If you’d like to make a barrier on the outside of your home, you can use dried & crushed eggshells in place of salt. - Post on how to make eggshell powder here - Hag stones Hag stones are stones with holes in them that have been corroded into the stone because of rushing water. It is believed rushing water is protective & cleansing so if you wear a stone that sat in it long enough to have parts corroded away, that the stone will maintain and keep those properties with it. It’s a great way to personally ward yourself, and an excuse to go out in nature. They look like this!

Energy Manipulation If you’ve got a knack for manipulating energy, you can create a barrier through work and visualization that surrounds yourself or your space. This isn’t recommended for beginners though! Links: - Horse Warding Charm By @anothersusurrus - House Warding Spritz Mixture By @seleneblackwell Both of these are great if you’re looking for specific spells, types of magick, correspondences, sigils, ect! - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 1 By @auricwitch - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 2 By @auricwitch Personal Wards Also remember not just to ward your space but yourself, if you layer your home with wards, what happens when you leave? Exactly. Keep yourself safe too! Circle casting & hag stones are great methods I mentioned above that are good for personal warding. Can I Ward Specific Things And Not Others? Absolutely! I mentioned this in the phrasing section of this post, keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out when you’re warding. I like words like “negative” or “harmful” or “with ill intent” because they don’t necessarily keep out the Fae or positive/neutral spirits but it does keep out anything that wants to harm you in general. Just think about it ahead of time, find wording or a phrase you like and keep that in mind as you ward. What If I Live With People? If you’re out of the broom closet, explain to your family/roommates what you’re doing and why you’re doing it and make sure they’re cool with it and are aware of what’s going on. If you’re not out of the broom closet, you may have to resort to only warding yourself/your room, & that’s okay! I hope this helps someone or teaches them something new! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖

do you know any simple and discreet ways to protect a doorway from harmful things coming through it?

Threshold Warding Powder:

At twilight (ideally on a Saturday,) grind together Salt, Yarrow, Eggshells, Fennel, and Red Brick Dust within a Cast Iron vessel.

When the mixture has been satisfyingly pulverized, step outside and sprinkle the powder along the threshold of the doorway, from right to left. Having done this, walk backwards through the doorway, making sure not to touch your feet to the threshold. Once inside, close the door and turn the lock three times (i.e. lock it, unlock it, lock it again, unlock it again, lock it once more, and unlock it once more.) Thereafter, repeat the ritual as needed (when the powder is in need of replacing.)

There are innumerable ways to ward a threshold, from hanging certain talismans above the door, to sowing certain plants near the entryway, but this particular method is quite inconspicuous and fairly straightforward. I will also try and post a more in-depth warding rite soon, which calls on Janus to secure the threshold, should you, or anyone else, want a slightly more involved method with similar elements to this one.

I didnt dedicate a journal, but I would write "dear _" letters at the start of my encounters. Id like to do so again, I might take this idea up.

🌙 deity devotion journals

if you’re anything like me, the desire to meet and communicate with a new deity might be stunted by the idea of actually, ya know, communicating. whatever the reason (you don’t use divination, cant speak aloud, are afraid of being overheard, can’t meditate easily, etc.), initiating contact with deities can seem intimidating, and might even deter you from following the god or pantheon at all. but rest assured, there are easier and more discreet methods of talking, other than whipping out a dozen tarot decks and chanting pagan prayers

💫Why a Devotional Journal? What Is It?

devotional journals are journals dedicated to a specific deity or pantheon, where you can write messages, prayers, questions, or anything else you’d like to speak with Them about. i like to think of these journals like writing letters to a good friend- except your good friend is also a god!

☀️Beginning a Devotional Journal

depending on personal preference, this can be as intricate or as simple as you please. if you feel inclined to introduce yourself, explain what you’re doing or why you’re keeping a journal, or anything else, then feel free to! when i started mine i kept it as easy as writing “dear Apollo,” in a composition notebook, then explained my reasons and goals for keeping a journal specifically for Him. so honestly? go wild

⚡️What To Put in a Devotional Journal

prayers

Their name written in its orignal language

stories about your day

your relationship goals

tarot spreads for/to Them

song lyrics

poetry

hymns

Their family tree

things like the delphic maxims (hellenic) or 10 commandments (christian)

pressed flowers

printed pictures of what They look like to you

artwork

a list of things you associate with Them

gratitudes

what your altar to Them looks like (or what you wish it could look like)

messages you’ve received from Them

devotional acts

sigils/runes/etc

Their symbols

Their myths and lore

offering ideas

Their sacred animals, plants, cities, etc

famous works about Them

if you can think of anything else to put in a devotion journal, please feel free to add on! no matter how crazily beautiful or inconspicuously simple you make yours, the important thing to remember is your gods appreciate all efforts to strengthen your relationship with Them
