Intentional words create powerful spells from powerful spellcasters.
Speak intentionally every day. It’s not just speaking affirmations, but using your words wisely. It’s not just “law of attraction” but speaking what your actual will is, and doing the mundane work to bring it about.
“I will pass my exam today” is all good and well, but if you didn’t study, no amount of affirmations or spells will make this happen for you. This is a specific need that you have to give yourself. Go study. Test yourself. Then pass your exam. In the end, you’ve done it for yourself with solid activity. You spoke intentionally of what you want to do, and you gave it to yourself by doing the work.
From this, you build a will of intention, meaning that you take yourself and your power seriously enough that obstacles fall from your path rather than block you. It’s all you. You are doing it for yourself. Speak intentionally.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Every day. Don’t just “set an intention” by saying, “I’m going to have a good day today.” The day usually starts in neutral, and in some rather new-age way, it is about how you handle the situations in your day that will determine what will happen. If you handled them well, and you recognize that you did, then you’re giving yourself a good day.
I feel the need to point out that “handling it well” doesn’t mean you suffer in silence. It means you give back to others what they give to you, and you don’t accept anything less than your worth. It means that you are taking your medications so that you can function during the day, without missing a beat. It means that you show up for your practice, on time, and you do the best you can do because that’s what you’re able to. And it means giving yourself the break you need because things are too much right now and you need to step away for a breath before you dive back into it.
Speak intentionally. Let others know that you hold yourself accountable and, as a result, will also hold them accountable. Don’t accept, “I didn’t mean it”, and don’t wait for an apology that someone has to force themselves to give because of their own pride. Speak intentionally and don’t engage those people anymore. Or if you must, know that their word means nothing to you if it means nothing to them.
Speak intentionally and your power will grow. This is because you trust yourself to deliver your own best outcomes and you’re not going to wait for others to decide that you’re worth something if they won’t tell you what you’re waiting for. “This job is mine” doesn’t mean much if your confidence is in the way, but also remember not to speak about things that you can not give to yourself. Don’t make your success and happiness dependent upon other people. That’s not a power move, that’s asking for permission from others to be a better version of yourself. Do not ask permission to exist in your own body, to have your life. This is not intentionally living, this is conditionally living, and it’s not healthy.
Speaking intentionally means that you’re telling yourself “I will go to this interview.” That sets the tone for you better than “I will get this job” which is not something you can give yourself. There are too many factors at work. “I will devote more time to my magic” is something you can give yourself. So give it. Spend more time with your magic.
When you go to cast that next spell, your will has been shaped and crafted by successes and deliverables. You will have built up yourself enough successes that your own thought patterns change, and you adjust your fates for higher favor to grant you the things you seek to gain through magic. But ultimately, intentions deliver power to you, and that power allows you to create the life you want for yourself.
It always helps to have the spirits and your ancestors in your corner. But if you’re not in your corner, not setting the right intentions, there’s not much you’re going to be able to accomplish. You still have to show up.
Speak up. Speak intentionally.
