Expression of Intention
Before any magical working, take a moment to fix the purpose of your ritual firmly in your mind. Speaking your purpose aloud—whether to yourself, to gathered participants, or to the spirits you work with—helps focus your will and set the mood. This can be as simple as a single sentence or a short incantation that names your goal, such as honoring the changing seasons, seeking guidance through divination, or working a spell.
By voicing your intent, you solidify your purpose and invite alignment between your mind, spirit, and the unseen forces you call upon. A well-spoken intention doesn’t need to be poetic—only clear, heartfelt, and true to your purpose.
