Cats and Caffe

The most foundational thing you can have in your tool set, beyond candles, athames, crystals, herbs, an alter setup or books galore.

Intention.

Intention is the foundational building block of all witchcraft, your head and heart should be in tune with each other. You may be able to feel your energy bubbling from within you.

From simple things like stirring intention into your morning coffee to bigger things like complex spells; intention is the base of it all.

The best way I’ve found is to get a solid idea of my desired outcome. For example: if I’m trying to manifest a good day, I would start by brewing my morning coffee, while this is happening, I will center myself and clear out the stagnant energy within me. When the coffee is brewed and I’m ready to put my creamer in, I will stir it in clock-wise and envision good things that may happen that day.

I don’t let the “what ifs” get to me.
Today is going to be a good day.
Plain and simple. I do my best to quiet the chatter of “What if this or what if that“
In that moment all that matters is, Today will be a good day.
Sometimes, anxiety is high and the “what ifs” are a little loud, that’s okay, just remember:
The universe will only send things for my highest good.

In the end, intention is, in my opinion the best thing you can have at your disposable as a witch.
