the 𝐓𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐈 way┊͙✧˖*°࿐

- things I have manifested + how

BEFORE LOA:

☆ my body was shaped like a rectangle 💀

☆ I didn't have a lot of friends

☆ I was very average looking-

☆ I was really dissatisfied with my life

☆ I used to have a second-hand mobile phone that didn't work well...

☆ I was struggling with my sub channel ( I had like 800 subscribers when I started using loa )

☆ I was a huge introvert

☆ I used to have uneven skin tone and acne all over my face

AFTER LOA

☆ I have a curvy pear shaped body <3

☆ I'm friends with literally every single person in my school lmao

☆ I love living my life istg

☆ I look ETHEREAL- my eyes have def gotten bigger and my lips got plumper ++ I had a growth spurt making my legs longer than before !!

☆ I have a brand new, *really pretty* phone [ I have a phone reveal in my ig highlights 'me being me' if anyone's interested 😀 ]

☆ my channel is growing rapidly :))

☆ I am the most extroverted person you'll ever come across in your life sksksk

☆ I have clearer skin and I love myself now

[ based on true facts, I'm not scripting here lmao, I'm just telling y'all this because sometimes even I doubt whether ppl on internet are just scripting or they actually manifested smth 💀 ]

HOW?

( ♡ ) I'd ignore the fact that I have acne all over my face and then I'd pretend I'm a model with perfect skin

( ♡ ) I'd look in the mirror and admire my body like "ermm I'm so pretty damn", and then as usual, daydream of myself having my desired body

( ♡ ) while making my subs, I'd make them as if I'm making them for thousands of people, putting out my best I could

( ♡ ) I'd talk to myself all the time while pretending I'm a celebrity 😩

( ♡ ) STOP TRYING SO HARD.

this is the best tip i can give you ngl-

i manifested so many things with 0 effort and you can too !!

the easiest way to manifest is to decide something is yours and then completely forget about it

( ♡ ) to make people interact with me, I'd make up scenarios and conversations in my head :D

I'd say their lines in my head and think their thoughts for them, p.s. I'd narrativize the whole thing as if it's a fanfiction

( ♡ ) I wrote in my diary that I want a new phone ( this reminds me, you know there is ALWAYS a method that works for you yk? it can be scripting, visualising, subs, 3-6-9 method or simply persisting <3 for me it's DEFINITELY scripting tbh )

tips & tricks ;)

🎀 act 'as if' you already have what you desire, fake it till you make it

🎀 literally be delusional af istg, let people call you crazy or whatever just ignore them

🎀 don't 'wait' for it to arrive, know it's yours

🎀 pinterest vision boards >>>

🎀 just decide it's yours and let it go, if you don't see results in the mirror, persist that it's already there even if you can't see it

🎀 stop watching videos on 'how to manifest xxxx', instead live in the assumption that you already have it

I use music in my own magical practice so much, and I figured I’d talk about it, because maybe it might inspire a few other practitioners:

Random shuffle makes a fine form of divination.

Sometimes I just randomly find myself singing lyrics for Seemingly No Reason. Then I stop and ask myself, “oh, hey, why am I singing this in particular?” There’s often something rattling around in my subconscious/intuition.

It works great for sound cleansing.

Music comes in all kinds of, for lack of better term, “energetic profiles.” For example, need an infusion of fire energy? Find some music that feels “fiery.”

It can also help get you into a magical mindset.

Sing lyrics with magical power behind ‘em, and you’ve got yourself an incantation.

Crystal Knot Magic

Knotting a crystal net is very easy if you are able to use your fingers for this kind of crafting.

They are often called crystal "wraps" and many tutorials can be found on Youtube.

There are many, many ways to make a crystal net. The style you use determines the final appearance. More importantly for us, the style you use determines how many knots there will be, and their size.

We can draw on four common elements of magic: Crystal/mineral correspondences, color correspondences, numerology, and knot magic.

The stone (or other object) is like the battery which holds and radiates power. The object you net should correspond to your core intent.

The color of cord or thread you use can modify or hone your intent. For example, if using clear quartz, the color correspondence might be doing most of the work.

Then again, this spell will work with cotton twine and a river stone, so just do whatever suits you.

The total number of cords you use dictates how many knots total will exist in your spell. Crystal nets are made by tying two strands of cord together. If you use four cords, you will have eight working ends, and therefore you will tie four knots per row. If you have five cords, you will have ten working ends, and you will need to tie five knots per row. I align my numerology to the number of knots, not strands, because the knots themselves are holding the magic.

The knots are used to tie intent and bind power. I create most of my charms in a style that has one big starter knot at the top and one big finishing knot at the bottom. There are tons of ways to utilize knots in this project. The first knot can hold the only intent, while the rest bind powers to support it. Or the intent can be split into its composite parts and each part gets its own knot. Or every single knot can have something unique, or they can all be identical... lots of options.

Conceptually, the inner object is the focal point or battery of the spell. The knots can be understood as tools that the object uses to carry out your will, instructions to guide the object in its work, vessels that carry additional power (like tidepools on a beach), or tangles that capture and bind up unwanted forces.

To perform this sort of magic:

1. Learn how to make the nets first from an arts and crafts perspective :) you can cut the cording off to re-use the same stone later. It is really frustrating to try and do a craft in a ritual headspace if you have to learn the craft simultaneously!

2. Gather up your cording and object to be netted. Do any ritual techniques you prefer to prepare them.

3. Decide how you want your intent to be tied in. Do you want to use the same phrase for each knot? Do you want to chant your intent continuously while you do many knots? Etc.

4. Make the crystal net in your ritual headspace/magic zone. Pour your intent into each knot in whatever methods you choose.

5. I recommend making the final knot of your project into the seal which completes and finishes the amulet ("so mote it be," "as my will it has been done," etc).

6. If you did not raise and direct energy during the spell, ensure the amulet is charged afterwords. Like all amulets and talismans, it requires feeding and repowering as time goes on.

And suddenly - the dreams started chasing me 🌠

Omggg I just manifested my college degree, I guess university in my case. I dropped out of school this current spring semester because I dreaded it and it’s not for me 😭. I’ve manifested other things and I was like why don’t I manifest that I’ve already graduated and finished University. I haven’t successfully entered the void yet but I did SATs for three days at night. When I woke I went to my parents room to steal my moms skin care out of their bathroom and in a frame on their dresser was my degree….I’m 20 and I’ve “graduated” university 😩 Fuck school I finessed the system

I’m fucking shocked tho. Like I know I can have everything but when it comes I’m always shocked 😭. There’s a few jobs I’ve been eyeing that required a bachelors degree and now that I have one I’m gonna apply!! I want to move out of the state I live in and get a job in Newyork? But I also found a good job in Japan and Korea, so I’m deciding where I want to go!!

HOLY SHIT THAT’S FUCKING INCREDIBLE !! you have no idea how proud of you i am rn <3 i love how you said fuck uni and woke up with a college degree. that’s a true god, right there 👏

guys i stg i’ve been manifesting soooo much and so fast lately and it’s only been 2022 for two weeks!!! so here is the list of things i’ve manifested so far in 2022🤍

-i told my friends how i wanted to get sweetener by ariana grande on vinyl sooo bad but they barely ever repress it and i always miss it when they do and then i went on the vinyl releases subreddit a few hours later and someone posted a restock and i got to buy it!!

-i literally posted on here that i should manifest my drivers license and within a week i got a car + someone offered to take me to get my permit (yes at 21 years old ok) and also i finally took action and finished my online drivers ed course😌 (literally all i did was make that post and i didn’t think about it again)

-i was sooo hungry and i was complaining to my friends and i was like wouldn’t it be nice if they texted me “look outside” and there was food and a few hours later i got that exact text and there was an amazon package of snacks on my doorstep

-manifested getting my financial aid for school + getting a fat refund 🤑

-literally thought to myself that i prob wouldn’t get my refund until at least january 18th when the semester starts but then after listening to a self-concept tape overnight i woke up to my refund in my bank account😌

-passed a class last semester that i should’ve failed bc i didn’t even do half the work (🤪). i count this as this year bc ive putting off checking my grades until like two days ago lol. and i’ve been affirming that i passed all my classes :)

-i was convinced i accidentally threw away my birth certificate (lol) a few months ago when i moved but i just affirmed once that i found it and my dad told me he had it the next day even tho i’m like 100% positive i did not give it back to him lol

-also manifested myself remembering things multiple times this is something i love manifesting it’s so fun

-sometimes my cat scream meows in the middle of the night (ok he does it every night🙄) and i manifest him falling asleep on my desk chair and shutting up :)

+there’s more but i’m blanking cuz it’s 4am as i’m typing this hehe

but i’d like to add pretty much all of these things i’d either think about wanting it once and i’d get it or id affirm for a few times and literally still think negatively about it and still get it. sooo self concept guys. so important. it’s how i got everything on this list :)

self-help challenge #1

create an alter ego for yourself. make her the version of yourself you want to be.

many artists have ae's. when beyonce's rocking it on stage, she's sasha fierce. when tyler the creator is performing, he's igor. the point of an ae, for most is to gain confidence and to be fearless.

the more confident you are in your future, the more successful you will be.

*note: i refer to your ae (alter ego) as she/her. you can use whichever pronouns you like for your ae, of course!

what's her name?

be sure to be thorough and research the meaning and origin of the name you choose for yourself. names have power.

what does she look like?

your alter ego should look like the better version of yourself. make yourself look like her. dress up. be extra if you want.

what does a typical day for her look like?

be as creative as possible with this. nothing is impossible with manifesting. nothing.

what's her personality like?

find five words to describe her with. remember your alter ego has no faults. she's perfect. don't let this intimidate you. if you are your alter ego, then you are, by default, perfect, too. you don’t have to try, you are.

who does your alter ego surround herself with?

watch the friends your ae associates with. you should be friends with people that can put you ahead. whether that be financially, mentally, or physically, only make friends that make you better. don't associate with those who make you worse than your worth.

what kind of media does your ae consume, if any?

think about your ae's favorite author, artist, dancer, singer, etc. how present she is on social media. is she a public figure? how does she influence the media, if so?

why are you creating your alter ego?

why are you frankensteining, in other words? are you tired of being cooped up in your home all the time? do you want people to hang on to your every word? do you want to have influence?

Magical Journaling

When we think of a witch’s tools, we usually think of cauldrons, brooms, and jars filled with herbs. But for modern witches, one of the most powerful tools available is a blank journal. The journal can be an altar, a workspace, a diary, and a grimoire all in one.

Creating a Magical Journaling Practice

One of the benefits of this type of magic is that it doesn’t require a lot of tools and materials. However, there are a few things you may choose to include:

A journal, notebook, or binder. Having a physical journal for your magical practice can help to ground your magic into the physical world. Find a journal or notebook that speaks to you — this could be a composition book from the dollar store, or an elaborate leather bound journal. I highly recommend using a physical book, but if you are unable to keep a physical journal dedicated to your witchcraft, you can absolutely keep one in a Google Doc, a Microsoft Word document, or the Notes app on your phone.

Colored pens, pencils, or markers. These are a great way to include the magic of color in your journal. (See this post for info on magical color correspondences.) Writing your spells in a color that matches your intention can add an extra layer of power.

Stickers, photos, and drawings. This adds a visual component to your written spells. Just like you add things to a physical ritual based on their magical correspondences, you can use images of those things to add energy to journal spells.

A Daily Intention-Setting Ritual

This method of magical journaling is based on an exercise from Lisa Marie Basile’s book, The Magical Writing Grimoire.

In the morning, before you start your day, write your intention for the day ahead. This should be written in the present tense, and phrased in the positive — it’s about what you are doing, not what you’re stopping or trying to quit. Your intention can be anything, mental, emotional, or physical. (For example: “I am opening myself to love in all its many forms.”)

In the evening, before you go to bed, write down what you worked on that day. This can be anything you did that you feel nourished you, and it may or may not be related to your intention from the morning. (For example: “I used mindfulness meditation to become aware of my own vastness.”)

Living with intention makes you more aware of your actions and can be a form of magic in itself. You daily intentions can become positive affirmations that you can repeat throughout your day, drawing strength from the words.

Using a Journal to Cast Spells

You can cast spells on the page of your journal, with nothing more than a pen and paper.

There are four basic parts to every spell: your will, your intention, focused energy, and a ritual action. All of these components can be brought into a journaling session. Your will is your personal magical and spiritual authority — you use your will simply by being aware of it. Your intention is a clear statement of what you want to get out of your spell — in journal magic, this is typically written on the page. By directing your attention to what you are writing, you are focusing your energy. And finally, a ritual action is any act performed in a ritualistic manner — in this case, that act is writing.

When casting a journal spell, it’s best to do your work in a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. You might choose to light a candle or burn incense to help set a spiritual/magical mood, or you might not. I recommend meditating on your intention for a few moments before you begin, in order to help focus your energy.

What you actually write is up to you. It could be a simple, straightforward statement of intention, a detailed description of what you want, or even a poem. Feel free to experiment with different methods to see what feels right for you.

Journaling with Sigils and Runes

You can incorporate sigils, runes, and other sacred symbols into your journal, or use them as spells by themselves.

I’ve talked a little bit about runes in a previous post, but here’s a quick refresher: “runes” typically refer to the symbols used in Germanic alphabets before they were replaced by the Latin alphabet. The oldest Germanic rune system, and the one most widely used in magic, is the Elder Futhark. Other Germanic runic alphabets include the Younger Futhark and the Anglo-Saxon runes, which are both descended from the Elder Futhark. There are other alphabets that are used for similar purposes in magic, like the Irish Ogham. The use of these symbols in magic comes from the ancient idea that writing is inherently magical. Both the Germanic runes and the Ogham alphabet were believed to be sacred by the people who originally used them. Because of this, the runes aren’t merely letters — each symbol has a set of spiritual meanings associated with it as well.

The nice thing about runes is that, for the most part, we have a good idea of what they meant — so learning the runes can be as simple as purchasing a book and memorizing meanings. They’re also tied to ancient belief systems, which makes them a potent source of magical power.

You can use the runes in your magical journal in a couple of different ways. You can draw the appropriate runes in the borders around your spell, or write them over your spell in a different colored ink to add their power to your words. You can also use the runes alone as a form of magic. For this, speak or chant the name of the rune as you write it, and then spend a few moment focusing on it, visualizing your goal, and charging the rune with your intent.

Sigils are a little bit different. Unlike runes, sigils are created on the spot, so the meaning of a sigil is usually only known to the person who designed it. This means that, rather than learning established meanings, you’re creating a new magical symbol with a unique meaning every time you draw a new sigil. Because of this, sigils are directly linked to your will, which makes them powerful conductors of magic.

Here’s a common method for designing a sigil: Write a word or phrase that represents your goal or desire. Cross out all the vowels and/or all repeating letters. Now, use the remaining letters (the ones that haven’t been marked out) to create a design, adding artistic flourishes as you see fit. It’s okay to get creative with this, and it’s okay if the shape of the letters isn’t obvious in the final sigil. For example: if I wanted to create a sigil to manifest wealth, I might start with the phrase “I have more money than I know what to do with.” I then cross out all vowels and repeating letters, leaving me with, “v r y k w d.” Using the shape of these letters as a starting point, I create an artistic design that carries the intention of the original statement.

Sigils are usually used on their own to conduct magic. Draw the sigil in a color that matches your intention (for my wealth sigil, I would use green). As you draw, focus on your intent and feel your energy moving through the pen, charging the sigil. You can leave the finished sigil in your journal, tear the page out and place it on your altar, or display it somewhere you’ll see it often.

Sigils are especially useful for witches who need to keep their practice a secret, because they can be disguised as simple doodles.
