witchy vision board ideas and tips
with 2025 on the horizon, resolutions and goals are on the forefront of some of our minds.
i want to start by saying i usually celebrate the "new year" on the spring equinox or the start of aries season. if you feel like now is not the time for you to start new aspirations, that is normal! listen to your intuition. it doesn't really make sense to me for a new beginning to start in winter. however, if you feel called to make changes now like i did, a vision board is a beautiful way to help you visualize your goals and stay on track. there is never a "right time" to change your life.
most know what a vision board entails - pictures and quotes that represent your goals. i used to just make a vision board and hang it somewhere random, expecting it to do the work for me. obviously that has never worked. so this year, i made sure to make it huge and place in a spot i see every single day. you want to be actively engaging with your board every day and giving it the power to help you achieve your goals.
pictures and quotes are great, but there is so much more you can add to the energy of your board! you're essentially turning it into a spell. and if you're in the broom closet, it\ can be easily blended into the other stuff on the board.
colors: color magic is the easiest thing to incorporate onto your board. use specific colors to invoke different emotions and intentions for your goals, like pink or red for self-love, silver for intuition, and brown or green for grounding. you can also just include your favorite colors, or pick a color scheme for the entire thing.
affirmations: to make your goals a little easier to visualize, include affirmations throughout. i wrote my favorite ones around the pictures so they're there for me to read, but not the main focus point. if you want, you could also make a little corner or section for them. get creative! just pick affirmations that correlate to your goals, and say them each time you look at your board.
sigils: sigils are 1. easy to make and 2. easy to personalize. you could make multiple for the different goals you have, or what i did was pick an intention that was an umbrella for most of mine and just used that. you have so much freedom with your board, do what feels right to you! just make sure you charge it as needed.
physical elements: instead of using only pictures to represent your goals, get creative and think of other ways you could symbolize them. for example, happiness is a big goal for me this year, so i glued a dried orange peel to my board. the most simple things can help bring your intentions to life.
herbs and crystals: an obvious one, but pick out herbs and crystals that best align with your goals for the year, and glue them on. it doesn't have to be fancy, regular glue worked fine for me! i made a pie wheel of mustard seed, mugwort, and rose petals on mine.
symbols for your deities: if you work with deities, including them in your board is a beautiful way to honor them and ask for their help in your manifestations and desires. you could have images of them, or include symbols, like a key for Hekate.
astrology chart: if there is a certain area of your chart you'd like to activate or bring attention to, add it! like this year, i'll be transition into an important profection year for me. you can add a zodiac or planet's symbol, or even make a mini drawing of a specific house and what's inside of it.
before you start your board, i would meditate and journal. reflect on the past and figure out what has and hasn't worked for you. what you aren't changing, you're choosing. ask yourself:
what are my top goals for the year? how can i implement these into my routine to make them achievable?
what am i leaving behind that no longer serves me?
what limiting belief do i need to challenge?
if you're feeling lost, picking a theme out of your goals is a great way to start. for example, if some of your goals are to get connected with nature, make more money, and cook more, then i'd make the majority of the board a green, earthy theme. if your goals are to exercise more and do better in work or school, then make discipline your theme. find quotes that help keep you on track.
your board can be digital, but seeing it every day is key. i recommend a physical board if you can so you can touch and meditate with it each day. the most important thing is have fun! put on some good music, get your favorite snacks, gather your friends and family. let your intuition guide you into knowing what you need to focus on for the year.
thanks for reading! any questions, please feel free to ask! and here is a picture of my board as an example :)
