Tips for Manifesting pt. 1✨

Some tips I’ve learned along my path.

✨Make a vision board on Pinterest with things you want!

✨Be grateful! There are so many things we can be grateful for, so write it down or say it in your head/out loud

✨I prefer not using specific time like “…by Tuesday” etc. Use “in divine/perfect timing” instead. The Universe is always working to get you want you desire, so trust that everything will come at the right time when you are truly ready for it!

✨Scripting is very powerful and fun way to manifest! Don’t forget to write in present tense (I am, I have…). Do not use I want, I need etc.

✨Connect with the moon and do new moon rituals! New moon is the best for new beginnings and setting intentions.

✨When asking for money, use the phrase “money comes to me by happy means” or something similar. You need to be specific, because otherwise you could receive money through some bad accident or something unpleasant.

Blue Moon Spell: "I speak it into existence."

Moon water (psychic connection)

Blueberries (communication and peace)

Lemon or lemonade (purification)

Raspberry sorbet (love)

Black tea (strength)

Sugar (speed)

Ice

Cup or container

This spell is for multi-purposes but I wanted to make a spell to help nourish ourselves and help manifest determination! Although it is a smoothie recipe, everything has magical properties, and spells can be used for your body. It is important we balance our mind, body, and soul, otherwise we lack a sense of direction. Mercury retrograde will be ending soon, it has caused us to feel a lack of energy, and cloud our thoughts that life is just stagnant. This is not true! Instead of thinking of that you're having setbacks or let your anxieties take over, this is the time to meditate to get in touch with your higher self. Really communicate with your higher self to understand what it is that you need, what it is that you need to heal, how can you feel you're on the right path, and take the time to get to know the real you. The you that feels complete and fulfilled in all aspects. What will make you feel complete? Is it a dream, a goal, something that you desire, or want to achieve? Then affirm yourself, say it out loud! "I am successful!" "I will get through this!" "I have everything I need". Speak your manifestations into existence and trust in the universe to recieve it 🌌

Easy magic for the new, busy, or spoonie witch

Morning routine magic:

1. If you are someone who uses makeup, use concealer to draw a sigil for protection, beauty, empowerment, of whatever else you may need on your skin and slowly smudge and cover it as you continue your routine. Focus on how the you who was successful in the spell would act and feel (ex. Imagining what you would look like to others or yourself if you were confident or invisible to prying eyes) while drawing and smudging and strategize ways to deal with hurdles.

2. While brushing your teeth repeat this or a similar mantra for kind words in your head “mint on my breath and love in my heart, help all my words come out kind from the start. Scrub out the grit and grind off the edge, may genuine words guide friends off a painful ledge”

3. Use color correspondences while picking out your outfits to channel desired energies throughout the day. (Hint: this is a good place to research the psychology of color and pair it with magical symbolism to achieve the desired result)

4. Use your morning shower to cleanse negativity and malicious intent from you. While showering rub soap or salt vigorously on your body (SAFELY) while imagining removing curses, hexes, and similar malicious intent from you. Water is often inherently cleansing, no harm in using it for that daily.

5. Use tying your shoes as an opportunity for knot magic. Throw any knot you need into your laces and imagine tying the intent to yourself as you go. Good for binding yourself to your own goals or else making a wearable binding spell targeted at others

On the fly magic tips:

1. Start practicing recognizing the symbolism that exists in urban environments to maximize your efficacy as a witch. Ex. Using glitter in a binding jar to reflect their negative energy back at them or googly eyes to literally ‘keep an eye’ on the target. This will help you improvise spells as needed

2. Practice grounding and raising energy as regularly as possible to ensure you are always ready for a situation or spell.

3. Keep simple spell ingredients or a satchel in your wallet/purse/car to bring favorable outcomes in all elements of your life

4. Draw a sigil on a drawing app and charge it while you ride the train/bus to wherever you need it. Then delete it when you arrive

I merged a few recipes of these together. Swapped and changed some ingredients.

Orange

Lemon

Apple

Rosemary

Lavender

Star anise

Rose buds

Rose petals

Hibiscus

Bay leaves

Cinnamon

Moon water

Florida water

Kananga water

Used more of some ingredients than others, depending on the smell you want..

So I used more of the flowery smells.

Not too much of the florida and kananga as they are strong anyway.

I have bottled the water, once it cooled, and hoping it will work with my diffuser- it should do.

Lazy "Wards"

So today, I was lying in my bed, and I was thinking about how I desperately did not want to refresh my wards. I was feeling tired, burned out, frustrated, and just generally awful. I knew I needed to refresh them, but I also knew that it was going to take so much effort that I didn't have. Thus began the thought:

Is there an easier way to ward my space?

Turns out there is! Now, I know wards are normally random things you put in your room and re-do every once in a while, but ✨️these ones are fun and cool✨️. I compiled a list of the five easy wards I do for when I'm feeling absolutely AWFUL. Here they are!

Morning and Night Playlists

Make two playlists— one that you'll listen to as soon as you wake up, and one that you'll listen to right before you sleep. They don't have to have any specific genre; just do what you feel like you need during those times. Maybe even create a playlist cover photo if you're feeling inspired!

Turn your fan on

I am dead serious with this one, folks. It could technically be considered cleaning, but FUCK IT. Open your window and/or your door and turn on a fan. Let that air flush OUT the energy from inside and pull IN the good shit from outside. I would probably do this like once a week. Have fun with it! Maybe even play those playlists and have a whole dance party!

Stuffed Animal of the Month

That's right. You heard me. Choose a stuffed animal that will protect your space for a month. Next month, choose a different one. Repeat that for, like, forever or whatever. The important thing is that you choose a stuffed animal, you tell them "Hey, I need you to guard my shit," and you give them LOOOOTS of cuddles in return. I love this one a little too much.

Tape a picture of a sigil on your door

This one's for the people who are able to be out as a witch. If you can't do a sigil, even putting a picture of an animal or object is good enough! Just tape it to your door, either facing you or the outside, and let it do its thing.

Incense and screaming

This is more of a cleansing method than a ward. DO IT. Open your window and/or your door again, light that shit up, and scream out all the energy that you've been building up. Tell it to get-the-fuck-out or you'll roundhouse its ass. But also find the good shit and ask it to join you!

I hope yall like this post. I really liked making it!! These methods are probably not all new, and I'm most definitely not the one who invented them, but STILL. I like them and I hope you do too!

Made a teeny stash of black salt (witch's salt) specifically for mental health protection. Mostly used this method outlined by @eclectic-faith , tweaked for my purposes:

- Sea Salt - purification

- Charcoal - banishing

- Basil - peace, drives away evil

- Ginger - boosts the power of the other ingredients

- Incense Ash - specifically jasmine and amber incense ashes, for purification, comfort, happiness & healing

And all ingredients correspond to protection. Look out for my next post where this gets a practical application (along with the ingredients in the background!).
