The Power of Written Words + Manifesting Your Best Life
A few tips from our resident witch on how to make manifesting your new bff!
By Kirsten Renee
You know the saying “hushed mouths won’t get fed.”? Essentially it means, that person is not a mind reader and if you want something from them all you need to do is ask. The Universe works in the same way, if you want your prayers to be heard, you’ve got to be confident in saying them! You can’t just assume that God/dess, spirit guides, ancestors and angels know what it is that you want. You’re a part of your spiritual team and it’s best you show up as a teammate! Being afraid to claim what you instinctively know is yours is what will keep it out of your reach. That and not putting any physical work into manifesting your goals will stifle your aspirations. You are more than capable of making a conscious choice as to how you want to maneuver your life.
There is power in the written word and a direct link to what it is that you feel and need. Keeping journals, planners, grimore’s etc. are a few ways that people manifest their magick. When you keep record of what your desires are, it is easier for you to prioritize them! When something is consistently being repeated (especially prayers/spells). You are showing the universe that you are serious about your life choices and confident in what you feel. Your wording is most important, especially when doing intentional manifesting! Saying phrases like “ I can’t wait” or “I am ready to” give off a signal that you don’t understand the first rule of the practice! The key to manifesting is living in what you want presently. Viewing your desires from the future or past tense makes them unattainable.
Use phrases such as “I am ______ now” or “ I am receiving of this blessing in the present day”. Using words that are connected to the ‘now’ are KEY! Claiming your desires (all those that are with good intention!) as yours, is showing that you feel that you are deserving of this. Now, I’m in no way saying that what you want will pop up overnight! You’ve got to stay consistent with this practice. Magick is something that has a current, it is alive and well. So if you want to work yours, build a relationship with it! The perfect place to start is by doing one of the exercises I included below!
Ways to Fire Up Your Manifesting Magick
Create + Consecrate an Intention Journal
Binding a notebook/journal to yourself is something that you can do! I use this method and I do a ritual each time I use a new journal. Before doing this (or any type of magick) make sure that you protect your space! Cast a circle, remove distractions, pray over your space, etc! Make your spell work area protected by spirit and connected to you!
Pray over it! Ask your spirit team to step forward and join you in the blessing of this manifesting tool. Use this time to verbalize your intentions of that specific journal, be mindful of what comes up subconsciously as well! Journals are a physical representation of our emotions, no matter what they are!
Anoint it with blessed oils/spray, sacred smoke, or a Sigil! I always wipe the covers of my journals with rose water! I’ll also pass it through the smoke of herb blends!
Write a letter/prayer note to yourself on the first few pages! Speak to yourself as your therapist, friend and spirit guide! Use this time to really call out your desires directly and don’t hold back! This is how you finalize what it is that you want!
Make time for your journal! Intentionally using a journal is a daily practice that you find a flow within! Whether you do it first thing in the morning, on your lunch break or before bed! Get your manifesting time in because every day is a new miracle!
Using Numerology (and Technology) For Pop Up Reminders
Everyone knows to make a wish at 11:11 because it’ll bring you luck, it sounds crazy but it’s true! 11:11 and other mirroring numbers are often referred to as angel numbers! Personally my angels use these numbers to communicate with me. Each part of your spiritual team uses different forms of communication! The knowledge of numbers and their frequencies can always be of assistance when manifesting!
Set an alarm with a mantra as the title! Using something like “love flows to me with ease, love flows from me with ease.” or even “as above, so below” are great starters! You can create your own mantras as well, something that resonates with your spirit. Using times like 3:33 or even 12:12 can be used to amplify the energy of your mantra!
Using apps like Tiny Spark, Golden Thread Tarot and The Pattern can give you a deeper dive into yourself! I often look at my craft apps first thing in the morning! It’s like my newspaper, I read my horoscope, pull two digital tarot cards, and read my devotionals!
Naturally noticing angel numbers appear in your everyday life! Angels love to communicate and when you create a steady relationship with them, you open up new portals. By inviting them into your space, you are allowing your frequencies to link up.
Using Reflective Magick
One of my favorite ways to manifest, is by casting mirror (reflective) spells! Writing on mirrors of all sizes can directly link you to your deepest self. You want to root yourself into your wants, so look yourself in the eye and get to it! Reflective magick can be something as simple as writing a word of confidence on your compact mirror. It could also look like spraying every mirror you own with rose water and casting the intent of honesty onto it.
Make enchanted/anointed water! I often like to charge my first cup of water for the day with crystals! Leaving it out overnight or letting it sit in the sunlight a bit before consuming, crystal infused water can help magnify your daily frequency!
An enchantment ritual is another great way to receive and tune into the good vibes! I do enchantment rituals often! All you’ll need is a quiet/centered space, a mirror (that has been consecrated/blessed), and an item(s) that you want to bounce back onto.
Instructions
— Uplift the energy of the room (pray, dance, sing, meditate,etc) and cast your circle/pray for protection.
— Call down your spirit team and ask them for assistance in enchanting this item. You can choose anything, preferably something that you interact with every day! Like Jewelry, glasses, lipstick/chap stick, hand/ bags, your wallet, etc.
— Spray your mirror with blessed oil/water. I like to use a rose/Florida water mixture, to amplify the love of my spell and to purify the item.
— You can write down a prayer/spell/word.etc onto the mirror or you can skip this step! Whatever you feel most comfortable doing!
— Place your object on the mirror, say your blessings and intentions onto it! Be specific with what you bestow upon it, this energy will be strong and you will carry it with you daily!
— You can leave this out in the sun/moon for three days! I like to do it during a full moon cycle. The brightness of the sun and moon amplify the energy of the object!
Draw a sigil somewhere on your body! I can’t be the only one who wrote on her legs and clothes in middle school! Sigils are a great way to keep your mantras with you throughout the day. You can draw/ stitch siglis onto your jacket, keep a drawing inside of your wallet, or just draw it somewhere on your body!
Remember, manifesting isn’t hard nor is it just for the witches on the block. Anyone can practice and make manifesting a part of their daily lives! Like Grandma Agatha (RIP) said in ‘HalloweenTown’ “You’ve got to want something and then let yourself have it!” Don’t be afraid to get oddly specific with your desires, now isn’t the time to play shy with The Universe.

Blessed be.
