Visualization

Visualization, or seeing through your mind's eye, is important for spellcraft. Learning to visualize exactly what you want to come to be helps it come to be. Think about it. Every action, every manifestation, originates with thought. You change yourself, you change your world. Wikipedia describes creative visualization as "the practice of seeking to affect the outer world via changing one's thoughts." Can you see your living room at home? Can you notice the color of the curtains, the couch? Which magazines are on the table, do you remember? Learn to see as much detail as possible with your mind's eye. Here is a site that teaches the steps of how to visualize, http://bit.ly/f6QjZm


When creating a spell, one uses visualization to put energy into it. The more detailed the visual picture, the better the energy can direct the spell to your desire. Do you want a certain kind of cat for a pet? Draw the kind of cat you would like, and picture it in your mind's eye. Describe everything you would want in a cat. Playful? Good with children? Put as many details as you can into your visualization. Call upon the Goddess and the God, or whichever pantheon you choose, build up energy, and then release that energy. Even if you're experienced in witchcraft, re-learning visualization every once in a while can be an eye-opener, and give your spells fresh energy. 


Until next time...Blessed be!
