~ WHAT ARE PLACEBOS? HOW CAN YOU USE PLACEBOS TO MANIFEST? (WITH IDEAS & EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU CAN USE) ~
Long Post Alert ⚠️
the placebo effect is when an improvement in medical symptoms is observed, despite using a non-active treatment. it possibly occurs due to psychological factors like assumptions or classical conditioning.
• placebos are used in the form of fake treatments, pills, injections etc. which if taken with certain assumptions in mind can produce effects of an actual treatment. for instance, in one study, people were instructed to consume placebo sugar pills and explained instead that it was a stimulant. after taking the pill, their pulse rate sped up, their blood pressure increased, and their reaction speeds improved. (keep in mind that the pills were fake!)
• possibly, the placebo effect is caused due to a person's expectations and assumptions. if a person assumes a pill to do something, then it's possible that the body's own chemistry can cause effects similar to what a medication might have caused. the placebo effect demonstrates the powerful and undeniable connection between the mind and body in what we feel and experience
• in a lot of cases, despite people being aware that they are being given a placebo, they assumed it to work & it was still mostly effective & showed improvement. placebos can be used in manifesting to trick our mind into setting intentions & assigning meanings to actions that are in favor of our desires. which means you can perform certain actions and decide that it has a certain effect on your desire. these actions may or may not be directly related to your desire. you don't necessarily need to take actions or use any techniques to manifest. this is simply a helpful tool.
~~ USING PLACEBOS FOR MANIFESTING ~~
any action taken with a preconceived assumption repeatedly, creates a placebo. in law of assumption, we can form our own beliefs/assumptions by affirming & persisting in our desired reality. we assign meaning to everything in our reality & by affirming or our dominant thoughts, we retain those assumed meanings or change them in order for them to be in the favor of our desires.
• your placebos can/cannot be directly or logically linked to your desire & that's perfectly okay. for example, if you're manifesting a good singing voice, you could assume :
1) every time i drink hot milk, my singing gets better.
or something like
2) everytime i practice, my singing gets better.
here, in the first example there's no connection between milk and - having a good voice but it would still work if you assume it does. and in the second example we see a conventionally conditioned belief that practicing or hardwork can bring our desires - and it will, if you assume it does. so everything really comes down to what you assume & how you train your mind to dominantly think.
why this works : everytime you drink hot milk and reaffirm that it is giving you a better voice or everytime you practice, you assume it is making you a better singer, IT WILL- your assumptions eventually create your reality. you're god, your rules work here! i mean think about it why do superstitions & rituals sometimes work? it's because the people doing them assume & believe it does!

REFRESH!
how to: start your manifesting journey all over again.
hello! so, this has been sitting on my notes for a while now (i know i took a long break but anyways) and i decided to come back here and start posting again so here we go.
I. the new beginning.
forget whatever you went through, totally rebuild yourself from zero, this is your rebirth and you are giving yourself this new dream life. i don’t care if you “tried” to get into the void a thousand times before and perceived it as a failure, none of it matters because the person who allegedly failed their attempts to manifest and the person you are now are NOT the same.
II. learn what you need.
there’s no need to rush my love! for a day or two indulge in learning what you need. dont go out saying “i’ll ‘try’ this and that and that too!” just truly just sit with it and learn the basics, and if needed even tell yourself how easy is this. what is the law of assumption? how it works? what are the methods? is there any success stories?. try as much as possible to get in tune with the one who “firstly” taught about the law to the audiences which is neville goddard so you know you are getting content from a safe source and “limiting-beliefs-free” kinda of person.
III. the rebirth.
say hello to your new self! now you are a law of assumption pro, you manifested your whole life successfully and in a blink of an eye you are living the life you dreamt of. now its time to tell yourself a new story, you never failed, you are a pro at whatever you want and you are god. decide which method you will adopt (if you even want to have any) and start practicing what you learned, remember that your power is there with you to be used, your wonderful imagination is always working and the only thing you are doing is using it in your favor.
IV. it is done.
and just like that you manifested your ideal life. easy as it is, the law has no secrets and it has no favorites, its a law and it works for everyone. you are not an exception, you share the same power with the ones who has success stories, the ones who tapped into their god state, the ones who are now enjoying their desired and pleasurable life. remember that we are all one, we are all sons of the same god and the law is not a law for some, it is a law for all. persist in your power and you will not regret it.
+ lily’s words.
it’s okay if you feel defeated now, i have been feeling a little down lately to be fairly honest with some of you guys but the thing is: we (yes, myself included) should tell ourselves a new story! we found out a hidden gold and we are doubting ourselves and being lazy about it and overcomplicating things? STOP! just apply it! neville himself says we dont need to move one finger, we don’t need big efforts to live our idea lives so why tf we out here whining and complaining about the 3d and blah blah blah when the only thing we need to do is act as if??? start acting right now and in some days your desire will knock on your front door and smack your face so you wake up and notice that YOU ARE GOD!!!!
🎧: “i don’t wanna hear no no, only wanna yes, yes”
idc what this blog told you about needing a ‘perfect self concept’ to manifest nor do i care about that other blog telling you you have to stay still to get to the void, or the blog that told you it takes at least 1 day to manifest, or the blog saying affirming is the only way to manifest etc…
just because they think it is true for them (+is, but in their reality) doesn’t mean it has to be true for you.
YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN RULES
you wanna breakdance while entering the void? okay do it yay.
you think you can manifest in a second? okay go babe.
you don’t want to have a ‘perfect self concept’ to manifest? YESSS.
there is nothing impossible for the law!
so please stop asking blogs on how to manifest this and that, when you can just create your own rules. realize how much power you have! YOU ARE A FUCKING GOD BABY
(also im not saying these blogs are wrong, it’s obv true for them👍👍👍)

Abundance comes from within. Let go of all the limiting beliefs you’ve got about money. Money is energy. Money is always available. You just need to align your energy with the energy of money. You can’t expect to be abundant if you hate money, or if you think that you don't deserve money, or if you think money is evil.
In order to live a more abundant life, you need to start working on your abundance mindset. What are your dominant beliefs about money? Are they serving you? Or are they preventing you from connecting to the universal flow of abundance?
Money is always available. Open to it. Invite it to your reality. Change your thoughts about money. Start repeating that money comes to you easily and effortlessly from multiple expected and unexpected sources. Visualize living a life you want to live, a life full of abundance at all levels.

THE LOVE WITCH (2016)
a spell that helps bring new friends into my life? i am rather isolated (physically) which means that i am also rather lonely. due to work and gas, i can't really go out and just meet people plus i tend to have a resting do-not-bother-me face despite how hard i try otherwise. i'd just like to make some friends, the world is hard enough as it is alone.
Create a poppet. Tutorials can be found easily online.
Create this poppet to be yourself. Think carefully about the kind of relationships you do want. What is your ideal form of friendship at this time in your life? Is it digital, physical? Someone who can travel to see you?
Create the poppet to be one particularly aligned to reception of relationships, friendships, and communication. Build it and let it rest.
While it is resting after its birth, slowly create charms for it. Create charms to attract what sort of relationships you desire. Make these charms as pieces of paper with writing, oven-bake clay, strange twig dollies, wishes braided into cord, or out of anything you desire.
Decorate your poppet with these charms as you make them. Do not add more than one or so a week; it is best to let the magic develop and mature. This helps avoid complications.
Each time you add a charm, feed the poppet. Also feed it at least once between adding charms. Perform a fair amount of divination on how the poppet feels about the charms. It will tell you if you are trying to attract something which is currently impossible or painful.
Other sorts of magics may resolve such blockages. For this spell, remove charms which the poppet advises against. Feed it twice a month. Give it a special reward whenever a new friend is obtained.
I made this post called "in defense of astrological timing," which I recommend if I do say so myself.
This post is full of my personal opinions and beliefs. This post does not intend to represent universal beliefs. This is really just about what I do and how I practice. YMWV.
I would like to propose that timing your magic, such as waiting for a certain day or hour to perform an operation, is a solution to the intersection of two problems:
1. "When I need magic, I need it now - I have no time to wait."
2. "I am often low-spoons and I have difficulty raising energy or performing intense magic on demand."
The tl;dr is this: sometimes astrological timing seems to be approached backwards.
It is often approached as playing catch-up to your own situation. "I can't delay in casting a spell, I need the magic now." Which is indeed a very valid argument.
Approached from the opposite direction, astrological timing is not a burdensome correspondence to tack onto a spell. Rather, it is revealing opportune times for you to gather and store power throughout the year, so that the next time a situation comes up, you've already had a huge head start in taking care of the problem.
This also assists those of us with limited personal energy (as I've begun to consider I am not a "low-energy" witch but rather one who uses their energy in the stupidest least effective ways possible).
For example, suppose a vital part of your sorcery is burning a special incense before each spell. Yes, you can make a whole bunch of the incense at once.
And if you enchant the incense, that takes your power. You're transferring energy out of your personal bank account in order to store it within the incense.
Three months later when there is a vital spell to be cast, you're making a withdrawal from the incense bank and putting that additional energy towards your spell.
Actions like this reduce the amount of personal energy we need to spend during typical workings of magic.
Suppose a spell requires 50 units of energy in order to successfully manifest.
Well, if I've been slowly storing up energy in certain things (like special waters, incense, stones, and so on), I can use up some of that stored energy during a spell.
If I have 30 units of energy saved up within special objects, I only need to raise 20 further units of energy during that spell in order to make it manifest.
I can expend my own personal energy to complete the quota. Or, I can go looking for some free-flowing energy and try to channel it in order to complete the spell.
BUT
1. What if I have no energy units saved up in objects and I have to raise it all within that moment?
2. What if the free-flowing energies I need aren't present at that exact time?
If you believe in the impact of astrological timing, then you may believe that certain energies are more available during some times than other times. A specific energy may not just be around in great enough quantities for you to haul buckets of it to your spell.
It's relatively easy to spend our own power when external powers aren't available, even when we don't mean to.
This may lead to situations where the energy units I need to complete a spell just aren't around, either because I failed to store up energy when I had extra, or because I'm casting the spell at a very unfavorable time.
If I don't have 50 free personal energy units, this greatly increases the chances that my spell will just fail - like a car with a drained battery that just won't start.
You might be saying, "but I don't necessarily have a total of 30 units of free energy to just tuck into objects. I might have like, 2 or 3 units of spare energy a week, tops."
NOW WE'RE BACK TO ASTROLOGICAL TIMING!
If you are able to look ahead towards particularly well-appointed timings, you can prepare substances (such as incenses and oils), objects (such as amulets and spell vessels), tools (such as charging boards and wands), and other magical paraphernalia far ahead of time.
We know all the future appointments, right? It's just celestial maths :) You can use websites to look up special conjunctions years ahead of time.
This means that you have as much time as you need to prepare. No rushing about an hour before the ritual!
When you bring a prepared physical vessel into a ritual at an especially powerful astrological time, huge amounts of specific, wanted energies can be captured.
So remember earlier, when I was talking about enchanting incense using your own power? Well, suppose you never intentionally use your own power for anything: you always attempt to channel external energies.
But we come into the same loop: it can be easy to spend your own energy on accident, and if the external energies aren't very present you either end up with a weakly enchanted incense mix - or you burn a lot of your own power being the battery, or widening your search for the energy until you find it.
During especially well-appointed timings, though, that energy is very present and much easier to capture. You have to work less in order to capture large amounts.
You can look for appointments for healing, banishing, the virtues of various astrological signs, wealth, love, and more. By preparing some physical vessel to be enchanted by these substances, you are gathering and storing great amounts of power throughout the year.
And now, now we come full-circle: a response to the first two problems posed.
1. "When I need magic, I need it now - I have no time to wait."
If you are able to work ahead to capture and store various energies, you will not have to wait for anything - you have already capitalized upon opportune timings and have them crystalized inside of physical objects for you to use when you need them.
2. "I am often low-spoons and I have difficulty raising energy or performing intense magic on demand."
Because capturing energies when they are more readily available is much easier, you may find it to be much less draining to capture energies at opportune timings.
Then, when it becomes time to cast a spell in the moment, you will have a collection of strongly empowered objects that will fill up your spell with power on your behalf.
Your spells will still take some of your personal energy, just like any activity, but probably a lot less of it.
I mean even if you're into it as a concept, it might not just be so easy to do, right?
If you're currently engaging in magical catch-up to ongoing or boiling-point situations, you might not have the time/energy/space to do a bunch of research on timings and then plan and prepare for a ritual, even one weeks or months away.
I don't mean to imply that it's easy or that everyone can just do it. I mean not all of us can carry around like 50 rocks or little pots of incense. Not all of us can rely on happening to have energy at some future date to perform a ritual at the exact time.
Moving into this modality of working ahead can also at times feel like stagnation: it can feel like planning and waiting instead of acting.
If you feel this might be something you're into, here are my suggestions:
Choose various "domains" of magic which are important to you: prosperity, love, defense, etc.
Slowly create or obtain vessels over time well-suited to capture energies from those domains, ideally using your hobbies if you can! A crochet bag or stuffie, a clay figurine, a painting, a song, any sort of physically creative hobby will do :) You can also modify candles, decorate charm bags, string beads, or even prepare thick cords to "tie up" available energies. I mean literally even a clear quartz with a bit of colored string tied on to identify it will do.
Start keeping an eye out for useful appointments. When one arrives upon you, see if you have the time/space/energy to perform a ritual to draw that energy into one of your vessels.
If you don't have the time/space/energy/interest (etc) in performing the ritual, ignore it and move on.
It is especially beneficial to empower small implements and ingredients you often use, so that your more common practices are less draining.
The following is pretty much UPG, unless I read it somewhere and forgot:
Initially imbuing a vessel with energy is best done on the most powerful appointment reasonably possible.
These vessels can be charged over and over again, capturing more and more power each time. Suppose the maximum energy you can capture in one empowerment ritual is 25 units. Well, you can perform the ritual again under the same auspicious timing to simply further power it, resulting in 50 units stored.
It is better to begin storing energy and do so at "minor" appointments over and over again than to put it off forever. Even if you wait for the most perfectest ever timing, you still may not have the ability, as a practitioner, to channel and store huge amounts of energy all at once. So waiting forever might be kinda pointless.
All vessels enchanted in this manner should be carefully stored so that the power doesn't leak out of them. They should not touch the earth, or else the power will go back into it. They can be wrapped carefully in black cloth and stored on a shelf. They should not be in the presence of salt, flour, iron, or other substances known to purify or break magical energies.
