Hello my darlings and welcome
In this video I will create a vision board and explain how it is a powerful form of spell
work and a tool for manifestation of your desires and dreams.
Let’s do some magical crafting.
Creating a vision board is a powerful form of spell craft.
There are many ways to add magical working to a vision board as well.
I am starting with some sigil magic.
I begin by creating a magical sigil for the intention I am productive and accomplish my
goals.
I used the method of removing all vowels and any repeated consonants.
Then taking the remaining letters and assigning them a number from 1 to 9.
There were two 7’s at the end of the number sequence that i will combine together into
one number
Once I have all of my numbers I place them inside the number grid.
Since I had so many 4’s I decided to use each sequence that starts with the number
4 as a starting line.
This way I have three shapes working together rather than one extremely complex shape created
by never moving my pen off of the paper the entire time I am creating the sigil.
If you’d like to download a PDF of this sigil worksheet, please visit Magical Crafting
on Patreon at the link below the video.
My Patrons can download recipes, book of shadows pages, artwork and more.
All provided as PDF’s.
And I continue to add new, downloadable content as I do more projects on the channel.
I am adding this sigil to an illustration of an eye for vision.
I will be placing this image right in the center of my vision board.
The center of your vision board is the perfect place to put an image of yourself.
You will be visually centering yourself in the middle of all of your goals and dreams,
surrounding yourself with them.
Another option is to draw sigils on the board itself, and paste images of them so that only
you know that they are there and only you know what they mean.
I spent some time reflecting on all of the goals I want to set in the middle of the year
that I will focus on for the next 6 months or more.
I will do another new year manifestation video in December or January and share my goals
for 2023 as well.
For this board, I limited my topics to physical and mental health and business, but you can
include anything that is important to you, social goals, and financial, home and family,
anything at all can go on your vision board.
Sympathetic magic is at work any time you use a representation of something in order
to bring that thing into your life.
As a witch I use my vision board as a representation of a spell, with a long working time.
When creating a vision board, you represent your desire or intention the same way you
would in spellwork.
As you construct the board itself, you put your intention out into the universe and leave
it there, on the wall to be seen every day.
A vision board is any type of space you use to visually represent what you want your life
to look like in the future.
You can create a digital vision board instead of a physical one if you prefer.
However I like the process of cutting and pasting my photos down by hand to lend my
personal energy to the project in the same way that I do when doing any art witch projects.
Because creating a vision board is a hands-on project you can put your energy directly into
each image.
The process is relaxing and provides an openness to the process.
If you feel stressed or anxious while creating your board, I recommend stepping away from
the project and coming back to it later.
Create a calm inviting space to craft in and enjoy yourself as you cut and paste.
You can create a collage of images, quotes, and any meaningful items with the intention
of bringing those things into your life.
Basically, a vision board is a tool to manifest your goals.
A vision board combats a scarcity mindset because it requires deliberate refocusing
of attention on what is, or could be, abundant in our lives.
It is impossible to hold a scarcity mindset as you search for images of what your goals
will look like when you have accomplished them.
In fact it encourages an abundance mindset.
When choosing the goals to put on your board make sure they are specific.
If you stick a picture of money onto your board to represent wealth it is not specific.
If you write the annual salary you want to earn on the back of the paper before you glue
it down, that is a specific goal.
Your goals should be meaningful to you.
If you put a picture of something on your board because you think that everyone else
includes that topic, but you don’t really care about it, then it will not be meaningful
enough to manifest.
For example, if I put a photo of high end fashion brands or models wearing the latest
trends on my board because everyone else does, that will not manifest in my life unless I
suddenly start caring about fashion.
The goals you include on your vision board should also be achievable and realistic.
This is not to say don’t aim big - Aim as big as you want.
Really challenge yourself and the universe to manifest big goals.
But don’t put things on your board that are impossible to achieve.
After placing my sigil and all-seeing eye in the center of my vision board, I am starting
with an image of paintbrushes.
This image represents organizing all of my art and crafting supplies.
This is a 6 month goal to have my crafting materials clean and neat in the garage.
Since moving into my home office, that is one area that really needs some attention.
The second image is a view from a hotel room with the word retreat.
This refers to planning a retreat for myself at the end of the year to plan out my channel
content for the new year.
Last year I spent a few days in a Las Vegas hotel room planning for 2022.
So I have represented the retreat with images of hotel rooms and fine dining.
Though I am not sure if I will be going to that city or somewhere else.
I am also including an image of a road with the words road trip, because I would love
to take a few days off and make a short trip by car to visit family or take a mini-vacation.
This image that says party represents my backyard patio strung with lights.
I have not hosted a party for friends since the p*ndemic began, so this is an important
social goal for me.
To host a big Halloween or holiday party for friends this year.
The next two images are of apothecary jars and decorations on a shelf.
They represent my goal to organize all of my witchy shelves and herb jars, and books.
Now that I have moved into my home office, I would like to make all of my belongings
look nice and artfully arranged.
That way I will be able to share some of the witchy spaces in my home in some of my future
videos.
This image was taken on one of my walks at the lake near my house and represents the
daily walks I have set a goal to take.
Each weekday morning I want to walk at the lake and spend time in nature.
This will help my physical and mental health, and help me on my weight loss journey.
This slower image of a snail is to remind me of my newest goal to slow down and only
do as much as I can in the time that I have.
Not to over schedule my day with too many items on the to-do list.
While I do work well under pressure, I do not want to work under pressure.
YouTube is like a pressure cooker; requiring creators to continuously churn out content
or face the inevitable consequences of becoming irrelevant and the algorithm will stop sharing
your work
Growth for me looks like not feeling guilty for resting
This image of plants represents my goal of planting and maintaining a garden.
Of course I know that I will not be able to achieve anything so lush and green in my drought
ridden climate, but your photos do not have to be exact representations of your goals.
They can be aspirational as well.
This image is a table at a farmer’s market that says health.
It represents eating well, shopping locally, and taking weekly trips to my local farmer’s
market for fresh produce.
It also represents my goal of eating a healthy diet to help me on my weight loss journey.
This witchy vintage-looking image is a representation of my goal to develop more book of shadows
pages.
I intend to make them available on Etsy in the new year as well as working on a book
of shadows project for a possible art witch retreat in the new year.
The final image is a stack of books with the words planner and workbooks on it.
This represents my goal to design a new monthly and weekly planner for my Magical Crafting
book series, as I am running out of pages in the current journal soon.
I also have the goal of publishing a sigil magic workbook and some other workbooks in
the new year.
So I need to work on those every morning.
There are so many other witchy things you can do on your vision board.
I am adding gold washi tape in between each image and as a border, as an invitation to
attract wealth.
You could hide secret messages behind your images, Write positive affirmations, spells
or incantations.
Include tarot or animal symbols.
Use color magic to attract what you desire.
Use elemental magic in your placement of each goal or image in the quadrants of your board
that represent air, earth, water, fire, or spirit.
I like to include a ritual activity such as meditation on the board, visiting it daily,
and lighting a candle each day.
With this kind of focus when an opportunity or a thing you desire, or a way to get an
outcome that you desire shows up in life you will recognize it and be there to meet it
and accept it.
You will be ready to do the work each day to make your goals happen because you will
have mentally rehearsed them many times.
Action will be the logical next step.
It will seem safe, normal and expected, not scary or impossible to achieve.
I placed my vision board on a wall in the hallway leading to my office.
This way, I walk by it and see it every day as I head in to begin working.
My vision board is a daily ritual or spell to help me achieve my goals.
I hope this video has given you some ideas on how to create your own vision board.
If you made it to the end of this video, I would love it if you would share one or more
of your goals with me, in the comments below.
