Manifest with Magic

We all wish for things to come into our lives. Whether they are material things like a better car or a house, or less tangible things like love, peace, or healing, there is always something we aspire to obtain. However, merely wishing is not manifesting. Manifesting something takes work, energy, and intent. There are many ways you can let the universe know what you need/want, and to help bring about the necessary changes/energies to bring those things into your life. Not every way works for every one; you will have to find what works for you, of course. One thing that is consistent with all manifestation techniques is where you manifest from. It is said that the heart radiates with a magnetic field 5,000 times that of the brain, so when we manifest, we are meant to do so through our heart/emotions. Some manifesting techniques include (but are not limited to):
Journaling – writing down what you want/need in a simple phrase as if you already have it. Do this mindfully and with gratitude (ex. I am grateful that I have “X”).
Candles – Burning a candle of the colour that matches your intent (love, abundance, protection, etc..). You can roll it in oils/herbs or carve sigils/words and/or chant your intent.
Crystals – Find crystals that correspond to what you are trying to manifest, charge them with the intent to attract “X” into your life and carry them with you or place them on your altar/somewhere you will see them every day.
Sigils – create a sigil using a word/phrase, cross out all repeating letters, and combine the remaining letters together to make a symbol. You could also use existing symbols (like hearts, pentagrams, or dollar signs) and combine these to make a new symbol. Charge this sigil with your intent. You can carry it with you, put it somewhere you can see it every day, or even burn it to release it and you intent to the universe.
Bay Leaf – Write what you wish to manifest on a dried bay leaf and then burn it. You can do this on a piece of paper instead (a coloured piece that matches your intent would add to the magic). Always burn bay leaf in a well-ventilated area.
Symbols – You can enhance and of the above ideas by adding relevant symbols that are meaningful to you (and your intent). Whether they are astrological symbols, power symbols, symbols you are attracted to, or even Reiki symbols (if you are a practitioner).
Regardless of what you are trying to manifest, you must still do the work, put yourself out there, put in the energy/intent, and be open to the opportunities the universe provides us. Even when we know what we want, the universe may have its own ideas on how to bring it about, or having something better in store.
These are just some of the ideas on how to manifest your desires. Have you tried any of them? Did they work for you? Do you have another way that works best for you?
