How to create Spells that work

Do you ever make New Year's resolutions then wonder why they are all but forgotten by February? This is where spell work and manifestation can help you achieve your perfect outcome.

Witchcraft is the process of applying energy to your goals, hopes, dreams and needs and stepping in to your power to achieve them. During this spell work you will be doing a lot of inner reflection to help manifest a positive outcome.

When you make a resolution or manifestation you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself and more often than not they are forgotten not long after. If you use the S.M.A.R.T way of manifesting you are more likely to stick to it and it’s a great way to help your spell-work and manifestations along.

S:- Specific

M:- Measurable

A:- Achievable

R:- Relevant

T:- Time-Bound

When you are trying to manifest something ask yourself these questions to make the outcome more manageable and more successful.

*What do I want to accomplish?

*Why is it important?

*What is your motivation?

*Who is involved?

*What resources do I need?

*What are my limitations / hurdles?

*How can I overcome them?

For example:

I want to loose weight… apply the questions above to expand that resolution and create a flexible plan on how to achieve it.

So the original statement turns in to…”by July I will have lost 18lbs in weight, I will fell better about my body and my clothes will fit me, I will be fitter and able to live my life in a more active and healthy way. I will achieve this by reviewing my exercise and eating patterns and making a plan on how to create a healthier way of living”.

Not only have you expanded on the original statement you have started to formulate a plan on how you will achieve your goal, this is why I love to journal as you can put as much or as little time in to your manifestations and re visit them when you feel yourself waining.

Raising Energy

All of your prep, research and ingredients are nothing without the intent and energy behind them, it is important to use the correct herbs and spices for a great outcome but the energy you put in is also very important. You can raise energy in lots of ways, do some research, use books, the internet and ask other witches how they do it.

I like to meditate and journal, I use breath work and visualisation to raise gentle energy but some spells call for chanting, dancing, singing, shouting, fire, water and air to raise the relevant energy needed. Try out different things to see which works for you, The book Magical Power for Beginners by Deborah Lipp is a great book if you don’t know where to start.

However you decide to raise energy and manifest your dreams remember that the power lies within you and all you need to do is tap in to that power and you can achieve whatever your heart desires.
