7) Use the Free Candle app
If you live in a place that doesn’t allow candles (or you’re just nervous about causing a fire) there’s an app for you; Free Candle is my favorite because it’s literally a free online candle, where you can choose the color of the candle and actually blow out. You can also try battery operated candles, they work just as well.
8) Use Pinterest as your vision board
Use Pinterest as a type of vision board to help picture what you wish to manifest in your life.
9) Stir your drinks the ~right~ way
Speaking of drinks, when you’re stirring your drink, think about your intent; are you looking for positivity or to get rid of negativity? Remember that the direction you stir is very important in spells and “potions.” Stirring clockwise invokes (so that cinnamon in your coffee is being doubled). Stirring counter-clockwise will banish (acting as a way to dispel negative or stressful energies).
10) Use citrine to increase productivity
Place citrine next to your laptop to help increase productivity and energy.
11) Write your goals out in green
Write out notes and goals for yourself in green ink to make come true. The color green symbolizes prosperity, money, abundance, and luck. Paint your nails green and everything you touch will turn to money.
12) In fact, paint your nails green too
Trying to make money or start a new business? Paint your nails green, the color of success.
13) Wear purple for presentations
Got a big presentation coming up and you want to sound like the intelligent, power, boss person that you are? Wear purple lipstick, a purple blouse, a purple hair clip—whatever! Purple represents love, psychic abilities, and intelligence.
14) Use emojis in spell work
Create some spells using emojis. Come up with the exact characters and wording you want, then send the spell to yourself via email to cast. Do not open until your spell works.
15) Replace incense with an air humidifier
Can’t burn incense? Take your air humidifier and dab a couple drops of essential oil.
16) Wear and burn the right scents for what you’re trying to attract
For instance, burning vanilla or cinnamon incense or candles, or wearing perfumes with these notes, promote creativity. You might want to start with the scented candle that pairs best with your zodiac sign.
