The Power of Setting Intentions

The most important ingredient in any spell is a clear, focused intention. Without it, even the most elaborate ritual will fall flat.

What is Intention?

Intention is the conscious direction of your will and energy toward a specific outcome. It's the "why" behind your spell.

How to Set Clear Intentions

1. Be Specific

Instead of "I want money," try "I attract a new job opportunity that pays $50,000 annually and aligns with my values."

2. Focus on Yourself

You can't control others. Frame intentions around your own actions and energy: "I am open to receiving love" not "John will fall in love with me."

3. Use Present Tense

Act as if your intention is already true: "I have abundant wealth" rather than "I will have wealth someday."

4. Feel It

Don't just think your intention—feel it. Visualize, embody, and experience the emotions of having your desire fulfilled.

5. Release Attachment

Set your intention, take action, then release the outcome. Trust the universe's timing and wisdom.

When your intentions are clear and aligned with your highest good, magic flows naturally. The universe conspires to help those with clear, positive intentions.
