A Kind of Magick. Manifesting From Your Heart by Nils Klippstein - HTML preview

Step 2: Clarifying Your Intention

What changes would you like to see in your consciousness and personal universe? Vague wishes lead to vague results. Your intention should be as clear as a quiet mountain lake whose bottom you can see. Formulate a single, concise sentence stating your desired outcome in the present tense, as if it is already happening.

Writing your intention down gives it a powerful anchor in the material world. Seeing the words on paper moves the intention from the abstract realm of thought into the tangible world of action. This act alone is a potent magickal decla­ration. You could write your intention on a notepad, or on a piece of paper on a clipboard or tray. If you wish, you can use this later as a surface for your ritual. The benefit of this is that you can move the board or tray to a different location later on (see step 8: Integration).
