In magic, if you want a ritual to work, you must first set a clear intention, whether it's to attract luck, love, or money! Regardless of the goal of the practiced ritual, you must send a clear and precise message to the universe for your wish to be granted. Here are three practical tips for formulating an intention.
As highlighted by the expression "magic formula" often used in children's tales, magic is above all a matter of wording. If you are looking for a spell or a magic formula that works, start by carefully choosing the words you are going to use.
Words are very powerful tools and their power manifests itself in various forms such as the mantras used by yogis, positive thinking, or self-suggestion which is the basis of self-hypnosis and the Coué method!
Some believe that the power of words lies in their vibration and/or their meaning. What is certain is that words always carry a message that we send to the universe or, more directly, to our own brain. That is why it is important to always weigh one's words, especially during a magical ritual...
If, like me, you believe that words possess great power, you understand very well why you must be careful about the ones you use on a daily basis...
We often have the habit of belittling others or ourselves, a common mistake that can only attract negativity around us! Ruminating negative thoughts about oneself, one's life, or one's environment has never improved the situation.
It is better to devote this energy to taking action to improve things and focus on the positive to attract luck and opportunities. During magical rituals where you have to formulate an intention, be particularly vigilant about the choice of words and make positive sentences because the brain does not register negations.
For example:
Don't say anymore: "I don't want to be tired/anxious/unlucky anymore"
But rather say: "I am bursting with energy/I am serene/luck is smiling at me"
If you want to attract positive opportunities to yourself, professionally, financially, or romantically:
Don't say: "I want to solve my money problems/I want to end my loneliness"
But say: "I attract professional opportunities, success, and financial abundance"
And in love: "I attract a person who will love me sincerely, to live a reciprocal and lasting relationship".
Do you see the difference? A positive formulation changes everything and proves to be much more powerful in speaking to the universe/your brain/your subconscious!
You will have understood, magical formulas are not limited to abracadabra or hocus pocus! Words are much more powerful when they express a personal and sincere intention.
Knowing how to precisely and clearly formulate an intention or a wish allows you to perform all kinds of magical rituals.
Depending on your goal and the complexity of your ritual, you have the choice between:
• focusing on a single word and repeating it like a mantra
• expressing an intention out loud or simply in thought
• inventing a slightly longer incantation and making it rhyme to make it easier to remember.
Once you have created your magical formula, all you have to do is pronounce it with conviction, recite it, or write it down on a medium such as a piece of paper or laurel.
The sigil (which I will talk about in a future article) is another way of representing a magical intention in the form of a seal or a kabbalistic sign.
