1. Don’t Throw Away Your Whole Life On It.

Success story

Hi, witchy! I remember asking you for advice a few times and I once promised to come back with a success story. In fact, many of my imaginal acts included me sharing my success on your tumblr. I'm glad I'm able to say they are no longer just "imaginal acts". I hope you like to read because I'm about to spill all the tea.

To give a bit of context, I had never been in a romantic relationship before and all of my knowledge was based on other people's experiences, social media, sad movies, and as you can guess, it was pretty toxic. I met my SP last year (2020), I manifested him without knowing. I literally created him in my mind, he was all I ever wanted in a partner, except he came a little bit earlier than I thought, haha. When I first started talking to him things were so magical, I honestly couldn't be more thankful. He was mature, kind, respectful, I was feeling a connection I had never felt with anyone before.

But my fairytale started it's conflictive part when the pandemic hit my country and we were quarantined. Even with the quarantine we were still talking and we were basically dating. Not officially, but the only thing missing were the tags. Unfortunately I may have shared a bit too much with some of my friends who then started to reflect my inner fears in regards to relationships. I started questioning my SP and wondering if all of this was real or just me falling into a fuckboy's trap. My friends kept fueling my fears and although I had no evidence of him being a fuckboy, I was definitely considering him to be one. Also at that time, an old trigger of mine resurfaced. Ghosting. I was so worried that because he couldn't see me in person, he was going to get bored of me and eventually ghost me... as the master manifestor I am, you can guess that I got exactly what I was persisting on. He ghosted.

I had been ghosted before, but this was the only time that I was actually hurt. I could feel the pain in my chest and couldn't hold my tears back. I even cried infront of my parents. I started receiving therapy and I wanted to give up on my SP, because I found out I was codependent, and he was "bad" for me. I was constantly watching videos on how to get over someone. I knew about subliminals and was using one to get over him. Here comes the fun part... thanks to subliminals youtube started suggesting me videos of the law of assumption. To be honest, the first manifestation coach I saw talking about EIYPO was Roxy Talks and when miss girl said that "anything others do is basically your own manifestation" I WAS OFFENDED. I wanted to sue Roxy, but another part of me was recalling my thoughts before my SP left, AND IT MATCHED. He did nothing out of the script. Everything he did, I had imagined. My wig was snatched, besties. Now I was both, sad and happy. Sad because I didn't know how to change that shit, happy because I didn't have to hate him. Out of everything, having to hating him was what hurt me the most. It was the same as with our pets, no matter what they do, we cannot hate them. I couldn't hate my SP because deep down in me, I genuinely believed he was a good person.

I was still not fully grasping this concepts tho, that's when witchysleepingbeauty comes into my story, and let me tell you, I WAS OFFENDED AGAIN. If you want tough love, witchy is your person. No bs allowed. I started doing exactly what she said. For the first time I was putting in the work.I have to be real honest, I didn't know what I was doing, it was not natural for me to think that everything works my way, and it made me feel weird at the beginning. I did some forgiveness meditations (Ho'opponopono specifically) to help me let go of the old story. I have to admit that it was until I was able to forgive myself and him, that things started to shift. I was no longer thinking about the past, and I was not thinking of him as a piece of ****. In new years, he came back for the first time, he texted me out of nowhere, and disappeared again. I was cool, I kept doing my shit. He then reached out a few other times but nothing consistent. Now this is when it got tough and I couldn't persist, I was bored and wanted to move on from him. I couldn't handle his inconsistency. I started talking to someone else and truly giving myself the chance to fall in love again, and try again with someone new. I was not even thinking about my SP during this time. I was all in for new beginnings, but I was not really feeling it.

This guy was cool, he was handsome, fun, but I was not into it. You could say he was basically an upgrade, even my friends liked him and told me I was finally getting someone better HAHAAA. I kept trying, but at some point I was just feeling like it was a loss of time (for both of us). So I decided to leave it there. I didn't go back to manifesting my SP tho, I started focusing solely on self concept. Enjoying being single, feeling like an actual goddess queen. Not needing anyone or anything in my life. I had a feeling while doing this, that my SP was going to come, it was natural, I was not forcing it. I was not even affirming for him. Like two weeks into this mindset and this bitch (my sp) texts me again out of fucking nowhere, joking like we never stopped talking, and this time it was consistent af. I hadn't even responded to his texts, when he was already answering back. I was taking hours to answer, and he kept answering me within seconds. He was acting all sweet, romantic and even asked me out on a date, haha!! I was hella nervous about the date, because we had never interacted in person. We had seen eachother but never interacted.

My first date with him was not perfect, I have to be honest about it, even the food was trash. It was a mess, but in hindsight it was cute because were just too nervous to be with eachother for the first time. Some great things I can recall from that date is that he was a gentleman, he even asked my parents for permission to take me out when he picked me up at my house. He admitted to be nervous about doing that, but the fact that he still did it makes my heart melt. No one had ever done that for me before, haha. After that one date, he started making more plans to hangout and showing so much interest in me. I have been feeling so good lately, and I just know that there is so much more for us to experience together. I'm glad I could find the law, and your amazing blog. You really helped me during this journey. I was watching so many videos, but it was until I found you that everything clicked for me. Everything started to make sense, and thanks to your tough love I was also able to leave the bs in the past.

*I did have undesirable circumstances once he was back, my only advice and the only thing there is to do, is to keep persisting. Be firm in your mindset. Most importantly, be happy, do what feels good. If at any point you don't feel like you're getting what you want, do not settle.

**Also this is living proof that circumstances do not matter, EVER. Trust me. I had so many circumstances that sometimes made me question if this relationship was even possible.

***Self concept did wonders for me and it's truly all I needed in my life to accomplish what I wanted. My biggest advice for people manifesting an SP (or anything really) is to focus on self concept, and start embodying the person that you desire to be. Usually when we are aiming for love, we tend to forget ourselves in the way, and focus mostly on the other person. Do not forget you should be your main priority all the time.

I’m jumping in to add some comments here guys:

First of all I loved reading your story, though it was on the longer side it was very exciting and I love the way you write!

Second, the part where you said you were offended had me crying 😂. Guys it’s so important to take responsibility for the shitty things that happen to us because then we know we can create good things if we put our mind to it!

I am so happy to hear that I could help you! People don’t usually come back to share their success but it’s honestly so nice when they do because it shows me I’m doing something right and I’m actually helping you guys!

Finally I know manifesting is a lonely journey a lot of times because most of us don’t share it with our friends or family. In case you didn’t have anyone tell you this: you did such an amazing job. I am very happy and proud of you. 💖

From now on you’ll be able to find all success stories under the hashtag #success stories

LIL SHIFTING TALK: why there can be a formula.

There is no set way to shift, right? There's no formula, right? Wellllll in my opinion there kind of is.

If you intend to pick up your phone, you move your arm to pick up your phone, and that looks like this:

intention + movement = action

See that? How it's a nice, set outcome? Shifting is the same way:

Intention + method = shifting

Or even just:

Intention = shifting

If you intend to think about elephants, you're going to think about elephants. If you intend to shift, you will. Believe in that set, locked, it will happen type mindset. Tell yourself that if you do the smallest things, it will 100% end how you want. Don't overthink, don't panic, just go.

Hope that helps anyone struggling!! <3

Overnight Notebook Manifestation Challenge

I want you to get out a notebook. An empty notebook if possible cause you’re going to need space.

1. I want you to write out your old story. I want you to write out how it makes you feel, your regrets, your doubts - ANYTHING. Literally anything about the law of assumption, failure, fears.

2. I want you to write about discovering the law of assumption and everything you know about it.

3. I want you to write out your rules of manifestation. How long does it take you to get into the void? How fast do you receive your desires? How does manifestation work for you?

4. I want you to write out your new story. Talk about the things you’ve manifested, revised, etc. Talk all about your power, your perfect self-concept, etc. How everything always goes right for you.

5. I want you to go to sleep knowing that step 1 has been revised from your past. That step 4 is your new reality.

Now, close that, by now, probably full notebook. Thank yourself for giving yourself your desires. Know that you have them.

If you’re still having doubts I want you to go back to step 1 then reread and add to the other steps. Repeat this until you’re so firm in the state of knowing that nothing can shake your confidence.

Don’t log onto tumblr, YouTube, instagram, or wherever you go first for content when you’re finished. If you feel the urge to - REPEAT step 1 and reread and add to the others.

6. Wake up with your desires. Every single last one of them.

Changing an assumption does not take time if you’re honest to yourself about your underlying feelings and assumptions.

Feel free to send me your results. Mind you, this challenge is for overnight manifestation results. Don’t start going to ifs, whats, and buts. Don’t say “well if I wake up w/o my desire I’ll just persist-“ No baby, you HAVE your desires. 4D and 3D. You have them. Don’t sabotage yourself by leaving an opening for failure.

You got this, baby!

An essay on why we all get so fatigued trying to do witchcraft, and some ideas on what to do about it.

I've mentioned a few (several?) times that I'm trying to rework my practice to be so much lower energy.

I want to practice a lot. My path has responsibilities and demands. I want to be engaged in witchcraft daily and often.

As a part of this I have had to really sit down and untangle the question of chronic magical fatigue, which then turns in to chronic regular fatigue.

I've come to some personal realizations during this quest. Here is one of them, which I would like to suggest as a concept or hypothesis but not a literal truism:

One of the most vital and basic energy working techniques you can learn is feeling how full your "mana tanks" are.

Magical battery, odic fluid, witch-power, whatever you want to call it. It's finite for all of us (even if for some it can recharge faster than they can use it).

I have yet to see a "daily practice" or "101 energy work guide" provide a resource on how to feel how much magical energy you have, and explain how to avoid over-spending it.

I have also never seen a 101 guide ever really explain that "energy-gathering" techniques which are meant to recharge you are in and of themselves draining.

Techniques which refill your mana tanks are often the same techniques as energy raising and energy programming.

E.g.: "Pull energy up from the earth" (energy raising) "and guide it to your spine, imagining that it refills and recharges your whole body" (energy programming).

This is an actively draining technique.

The only passive energy-gathering technique I'm familiar with is just resting.

As humans, this should be common sense! Eating food requires energy (to find food, to prepare it, to consume it) and then can further tire us as our body redirects resources to digestion.

As humans, when many of us get older, we start to realize our physical limits. You know how far you can get in the day on a single bagel. And for many of us, if you've pushed past your limits, your whole day is thrown off. Refueling might make you crash and nap, not suddenly fill you up with a huge burst of energy!

Yet somehow it's pervaded the 101 energy working sphere that a certain energy-gathering exercise - which drains your magical power - will just fill you up and you can do as much magic as you want again. Warnings about not over-exerting are usually like, "take it easy! Only do 1 or 2 minutes if you can't do all 15, or even take the day off ;)" but no actual instructions about how to feel out your limits and know how to reliably stop before you over-exert.

I think that for a lot of people it would be helpful to divide their energy-working abilities into two categories: Muscle and Fuel.

Your energy working Muscle becomes stronger over time. It has its own muscle-memory, and repetition of techniques can allow you to do them faster and better over time. This Muscle behaves very much like your earthly muscles: it burns fuel to work, but it also becomes fatigued and even damaged with over-exertion. It requires regular periods of rest. Once pushed to the point of fatigue, the necessary period of rest becomes a lot longer.

Your energy working Fuel can be thought of as the little magical calories floating around your energy body system. These units of energy are refilled and recharged as we do normal things like eating, sleeping, and engaging in restorative mundane activities. This Fuel doesn't do anything on its own*. In order to utilize it, you have to engage your Muscle. The more that you work with Fuel-collecting and Muscle-using, the more efficient your energy body system becomes at accepting, processing, storing, and expelling Fuel. You can use your Muscle to collect Fuel and store it inside your energy body.

No matter how much Fuel you have, once your Muscle is fatigued, you have to rest.

I can run a marathon (no I can't, but imagine with me) and be totally exhausted. If I eat an entire pizza, will this allow me to suddenly run another marathon? No, of course not!

Now, let's imagine that nobody brought a pizza to me, but I had to walk down to the corner shops to buy one - now, my poor muscles can barely hold me up. Energy-raising exercises still require you to flex your Muscle, and if it's already fatigued, you are probably just shooting yourself in the foot.

Your Fuel and Muscle are not automatically synchronised. And I think a lot of us out here are abusing our poor Muscles, demanding they work again and again and again, not understanding that they need literal periods of rest - hours and days to be allowed to relax, heal, and regrow to a stronger state. And I think a lot of people do believe that just by Refueling, their Muscles are supposed to "magically" work as if they just came of a week of rest.

In my beliefs, this Fuel and Muscle are the same ones we use for divination, spellwork, and spirit contact :) So if you're trying to do tons of these things all the time and thinking that a grounding exercise can replace rest, you're probably literally just… running yourself into the ground.

I would like to propose that if you are having a really hard time dealing with fatigue and energy levels when trying to engage with your practice**, you should learn two techniques: A way to judge the fatigue of your Muscle, and a way to judge the fullness of your Fuel.

Either of these things can be accomplished with a pendulum on a number line (using a pendulum requires usage of your Muscle, by the by!). Bodily sensations may tip you off - I get a strained feeling in my forehead when I'm close to over-exertion. You can also induce a psychic technique, such as asking yourself where you're at and waiting to hear, see, know, feel, or understand where your Muscles and Fuel are at.

I would also like to propose that metaphysical energy gathering can actually be so tiring that it might be inappropriate for everyday use. Raising a ton of energy and infusing it into yourself or objects for later use is a full day's activity, not a quick act you can shove into a morning routine. I'd like to clarify that here I differentiate between energy-raising, and meditative techniques which provide a "grounded," present-moment focused state of mind.

If you're taking suggestions, I would recommend figuring out how much magic you can do before you achieve a state of 50% Muscular fatigue/Fuel exertion, 75%, and 90%. I believe you shouldn't push past your limits. It just hurts. It feels bad, it's exhausting, and it takes exponentially longer to rest and heal. And I think many of us will be surprised at how little magic we can accomplish when we respect our limits.

*Some people who experience a great over-abundance of personal energy do have weird stuff happening around them all the time; it's the metaphysical equivalent of a cat rubbed with a balloon and set loose in a Styrofoam factory.

**Here, I mean people who notice marked upticks in exhaustion and fatigue when working magic, not people with baseline fatigue which just carries forward.

the law — whatever you assume to be true is true — is always working for you, not against you:

- whether you assume you have or do not have your desire, you are correct.

- whether you assume you fail or win at everything, you are correct.

- whether you assume you get treated like trash or like a queen, you are correct.

- whether you assume everything works out for you or that the world is against you, you are correct.

no matter what it may be, subjectively good or bad, you cannot fail with the law. so, enough whining. step out of the victim mindset and start assuming the best for you in every aspect of your life. you, and only you, have the choice to win or lose in this reality you‘re in control of. happy manifesting!
