Welcome back, Moon Child.
It’s been a while since I last posted, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts and energy. Taking time to regain your balance is necessary as a practicing witch. Especially , if you get the feeling that something is off with your magic. Usually, that feeling is telling you that you’re getting too much of one thing or not enough of something else.
This week we’re going to talk about unlocking your power, because it’s important to be able to connect with the energy inside you. This will help you reach your potential magic on a whole new level. Learning to connect with your power will help you understand how to use it on a greater level. However, it’s important to understand the “how to” that goes into tapping this energy.
In this post you will learn a few ways to unlock the power within you and gain more knowledge to expand your craft. That way, you can begin your journey with magic. Lets begin.
Your First Time Using Magic
Do you remember the first time you wished that magic was real? Not as a kid, but as an adult? I do. I was struggling with finding peace amongst the chaos in my everyday life. Learning to overcome the obstacles in my path was a challenge and avoiding the problem always felt easier. Some part of me wanted peace and the other part of me wanted balance.
My cousin was texting me at the time and when I told him this he told me to grab a candle, cast a spell, and let it burn. At first this was difficult, because even though it was something simple, doubt was very much alive in my mindset. Looking for clarity and peace is why I sought the path of magic.
So how can you tap into your magic to unlock your potential when this is a challenge you face? How can you tap into the energy you have the potential to use?
Connect With Your Emotions
The first thing you can do to help unlock your magic is to connect with yourself emotionally. When you learn to flow with your emotions you help yourself connect with the energy inside you. Finding balance is key to unblocking energy in your chakras. Feeling is a part of life and when your emotions can flow naturally you can soon learn how to invoke these emotions for powerful energy.
Our pain can bring us power. The happiness we feel can raise even more powerful energy. Don’t be afraid to feel the things that make you sad, upset, or super excited. These emotions can become powerful tools in spell work. Playing music during spells can also be a helpful tool to invoke emotions for spell work. If it helps you focus, that’s great. If not, that’s okay too.
Remember, magic isn’t a fix-it-now thing. It’s a lifestyle and a form of spirituality. No one can tell you what to believe in or how to practice. Everyone’s practice will be different. Just be mindful, that the energy you put into it is the same energy you’ll receive from it as well. Although, protection magic is a good way to help ease any potential consequences from spells that may backfire.
Practice Your Magic
Like I said, witchcraft or wicca or whichever path of magic you choose is a lifestyle. It’s important to practice what you preach. Hence, the reason to expand your knowledge. However, it’s still good to fact check your findings. Take everything with a grain of salt and follow your intuition on things. If it resonates then use that to your advantage. Each spell should be laid out with intention.
Practicing regularly, even if it’s only once a week is a great way to help unlock the magic within you. The more you practice, the better you get. Ultimately, this will help you reach new levels of magic you never even knew you had. However, only practice what you have gained immense knowledge of. It’s essential to know what you’re doing when laying the ground work for your spells and rituals.
Creating an altar can also help you connect with your angels or deities. It’s a way to put out offerings for the ones who give you power. I personally work with Archangel Gabriel, Archangel Michael, and Archangel Raphael. As a practicing witch who also believes in God I don’t worship other Gods. However, if you do it’s important to find a way to connect with your chosen deities or angels. They help you create the right energy for each spell or ritual you craft.
Shift Your Mindset, Shift Your Magic
The most essential thing you can do to reach your potential is to shift your mindset. Nothing good comes from constant negativity. Learning to transition into a positive mindset can help you manifest your goals into reality.
Meditation is a good way to help ground, raise, or focus energy. Even if that means making time to work with nature. Sit outside. Take a walk. Learn to flow with the present moments in your life and connect with something that helps you feel at ease when everything feels chaotic. Spending time in nature can be a big help.
Another way to help shift your mindset into something positive is affirmations. They help create a theme for the type of energy you want to put out into the universe. For example, I serve tables, which can be a daunting task at times. One way I’ve shifted my mindset is by telling myself, “Any tip is a good tip, because any tip is a blessing.” This affirmation helps me clear my mind of negativity and know that no matter what, each dollar that comes my way is a blessing, because my bills are paid, I’m clothed, and I’m fed every day. This is all thanks to the tips that come my way. Even the little ones.
Getting to know yourself and what thoughts can help shift your mindset is a key part of unlocking your magic. Work with tools to help you do this. Shadow work isn’t a must, but it can still help out in learning what things you need to work through in order to find peace. Free writing can be useful as well. Fill a journal with all of your thoughts and find the ones that need to be released or held onto.
Final Thoughts
Overall, these are just a few ways you can unlock the power that’s within. Don’t get discouraged if nothing happens right away. Good things take time and the effort you put in will bring forth results. It’s up to you how much time and effort you give. Only you can decide how motivated you are. Choosing the path of magic is something that must resonate within. Your path is yours alone.
Take the time this week to release what no longer serves you and dive into your practice with a level head. Balance your energy and meditate on where you want to see yourself with witchcraft in the next 5 years. Whatever you choose will benefit you, because you know yourself better than anyone else. Awakening the power within is only the first step.
