Explore Manifestation

Manifestation is what we create with our own hands. Magickal Manifestation is the unification of our actions and the universe’s assistance. The whole idea behind Magickal Manifestation is partnership. We don’t have to do it all on our own. We can control our actions, attitude, and our plans. Anything that is outside of our control is the universe’s to take care of. This is Magickal Surrender.

Sacred Play: set a goal that is just outside your control. Every week, ask for the universe’s help in one thing. Start small. Make your request, let it go, and see what happens. It’s a amusing and we learn a great deal of trust from this sacred playtime. As time goes on, more and more of these requests will come to pass; thoughts like “I’d like to” or “It would be nice if” bringing those opportunities to you.
