Magical Intent

Have you ever cast a spell that you thought was absolutely perfect, but then it turned out all wrong? Maybe someone gave you a spell that they said had worked for them, but when you tried it, it had exactly the opposite effect of what you were trying to accomplish! What happened?

Well, did you make sure that when you cast the spell, you gave all the exact instructions on exactly what you wanted it to do—and not to do? Not only do you have to tell the spell what you want it to do, you also have to remember to tell it what you don’t want it to do! Let’s not ever forget that part! This is the Magical Intent.

Words and the intent that you have when you create an oil also have their own power!

Let’s go back to your childhood for a moment. You are in love with a toy you saw in a shop. You dream about it, wish for it, desire it, and this toy is in your every thought. That is the energy we are talking about. The way that you focus on the toy, the emotions you project when telling someone you want it, that is intent.

The way that you thought about that toy is the energy you wish to use for your magic to work correctly. Magical Intent is passion—manifest. Remember the thought about having that toy in your hands, how it made you feel? When you specifically think about the outcome of your work, the oil you are crafting will manifest your desires.

What would happen if you crafted what you thought was the perfect love oil to bring you your perfect love, but you weren’t specific enough in what you asked for—and asked not to have? It’s possible that suddenly you’d be flirting dangerously with a married man, or worse, your best friend’s other half!

Intent binds the practitioner to the task and enables elemental energies to effectively interact with them.

Make sure that you don’t forget to put specific limits on what you want when you’re creating your oil. Of course, you can always make another oil if the first one goes bad, but wouldn’t it be better to get it right the first time?
