Intent | The One Thing Ever Witch Needs to Know | Complete Guide to Spellcraft Series

[@amongtheoaks]

I actually can’t visualize things. I always thought I was broken. I did eventually discover that I can ‘sense’ quite easily. If I’m meditating, I can sense where I am, I can feel, smell and hear the forest I’m in in my meditations. I can sense my intent and it actually works so well! I’m glad you’re talking about it!

[@CanVultus]

You probably have Aphantasia. I have Hyperphantasia. I thought my visualization was what everyone experienced all throughout my childhood. Later while in college I learned that’s not what most experience.

[@thebookdetect1ve]

It's a matter of imagination. I think it can also be trained.

[@LessBeans]

I can’t visualize things either. I wish I could but Im really good at tuning into emotions and feelings like you. I don’t feel so alone now ☺️

[@TaylorKaycee]

releasing trauma through journaling helped me gain my imagination back - not always accessible though!

[@candydeebe2725]

Intent can be softer then a whisper, yet more powerfull then the hurricane.

[@jpan7071]

Well put.

17:13 "It's never going to be a mistake to speak your desires" Ompf!!! I felt that in my soul!! ❤ not just for witchcraft but as an application for life! 😍 i may have to get a form of that tattooed or at least on a sticker!

[@kaylabopp3118]

I just found out that I have Aphantasia. I can't see with a mind's eye. So visualization in a traditional way is completely out of the question for me. So I am so glad you are covering this. I'm still very much learning how to go about it and learn to he the witch I want to be. I was so excited for you book but now I can't wait!

[@midnightmusings8144]

She didn't cover it very well. There are many options to choose from. You can focus on words describing what you want to focus on, a melody that you find fits, you can make phsical things instead, you can paint somethng and focus on in during spells or rituals, you can make a collage, you an even find a picture that gives you the right vibes and focus on it instead, you can pick a stuffed toy that represents what you need it to. Whatever you find most comfortable, lots of options.

[@TabithaReminiec3399]

You can use sound in visualation

[@coolwatyr]

I have never heard Intent explained so clearly. I’ve been practicing to one degree or other for 50 years. This will help new practitioners as well as experienced practitioners. Bright Blessings

[@Thrifty_Mom]

I've been practicing for 19 years and this is probably the clearest way I've ever heard it explained. Brilliant. I'll be getting your book when its out here in the UK 😊

[@uthyrgreywick5702]

I agree that believing that a spell will work on some level is absolutely essential. As far as intention, releasing a strong emotion is better than a weak one. Finally, I have almost always had success with incantations put to rhyme. I'm don't consider myself to be a gifted poet, but anyone can make up a little ditty for a spell. Wishing you success with your book. Blessings.

[@uthyrgreywick5702]

I agree, and the use of verse could go all the way back to the Druids and maybe even older. Blessings.@@witchNwand

[@riveramnell143]

I thought I was just being picky lol. My incantations have to rhyme. It just feels wrong to me if it doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@riveramnell143]

@@witchNwand It’s ‘double double toil and trouble’ and that’s Shakespeare, from Macbeth, not old witchcraft. I have heard it said that witches of old rhymed to memorize a spell so they wouldn’t have to write it down, but I don’t know if that’s true.

[@riveramnell143]

@@witchNwand Yes, you said that three times. I still don’t know if it’s true.

[@uthyrgreywick5702]

I'm the same way, it's like something is missing if they don't rhyme.@@riveramnell143

[@jpan7071]

You are “en Fuego”-keep up these fantastic videos. Your book is a must-have for anyone-witches, non witches, Christians, agnostics, atheists, you name it. There’s magic bountiful in you. Just pure Magick.

[@PumpkinMozie]

Video starts at 3:30

[@witchNwand]

It's always good to get back to the basics of the craft. Constant reminders and practice keep the magick honed. Great video Annabel, thanks for sharing part of your book ❤✌️

[@lindawakeland6019]

I got your book for Christmas! It’s a beautiful book. Thank you. Watching you gives me peace. After finding out that I have cancer,it’s harder to calm the mind. I would love to join your patreron, but my cancer has no cure but cost way to much for a normal old lady. Blessings to you and thank you for being you.

[@thelonewolf2073]

Thank you so much!!! I think that will be my whole October, practicing Intent!!!! I teared up a bit at the end because I realized how beautiful witchcraft is and really believing in myself that I am a witch. It feels, well, magickal! Blessed be Annie! I am excited for your book and I am happy for your success!

[@sandiiithesinger]

I was listening to this while lying down outside enjoying nature, which was not something I’d done in a long time and being in FL I was complete surrounded by birds. I then noticed about three birds high high way up in the sky (larger birds) and I playfully imagined being about to bring one of those birds to me with my intent (not something I do often either). Next thing I know there’s a HAWK outside my door! Just waiting on a trellis, and it was just perched almost like protecting. It also had another meaning for me in terms of an animal totem. Thank you Annie for helping me unlock this with your beautiful words ❤

[@daniellealexander5890]

I put your book on my Christmas list and I think my mum has ordered it! I can’t wait to read 🌿✨

[@jpan7071]

I put her book on my Samhain list.

[@LessBeans]

I have been wanting to start practicing witchcraft for about a year now, but I never knew where to start. I just found these today and although im still not 100% sure where to go, you’ve given me somewhere to begin. Thanks 🙃

[@bernieturley977]

I did a cleans other day, it is both cleaning, painting, but cleansing at the same time, the put my eggshell around my home,

[@milkywaay9]

Your bangs look lovely, can't wait to read the book!

[@Cedowyn]

Your book has arrived this morning (in the UK) and its everything I was hoping for and more. I'll have an in depth read tomorrow but I can see just from a skim through that it will be a huge help to me. Love your content, love your style. You are, i'm sure an inspiration to many, as you are to me. I'm finding this spellcraft series totally absorbing. Please keep doing what you do, you do it so well👍👍👍😊😊😊

[@BjornBear21]

Another great video, and I can’t wait to read your book. Your an amazing teacher. Thank you.

[@ttmfirst]

I just pre-ordered your book on the day of Solar Eclipse! It’s gonna be magickal. I’m so excited.🧙🏼‍♀️

[@MollyLynnWilliams]

What’s crazy is that this song on this video js special song to me. Just randomly found your channel!

[@Sovereign_Eye_Alchemy]

I am in awe of the way you so eloquently translate these topics. Thank you for what you do 😊 Ps, I would love to read your astrology chart… I’m so curious to your placements ✨

[@satori2890]

Now that I have your book I must say even before you get to herbs and crafting, your book is the best start for any beginner. You wisely cover many areas thoughtfully in a way that is a good start for anyone.

[@sarahmatthews2737]

I love your videos! You have such a soothing voice and amazing way of telling stories! 🙏🏻💗

[@lyndaassur5304]

Thanks!

[@sqweeli4299]

Wow, this is wonderful ❤ I’ve never heard this explained so well. You put it into words - the feeling of magic moving through you. The sensation. I’m in awe. I feel like this one video has helped me understand my own practice more than anything else I’ve found online. I feel stronger. I needed this. It’s clear that anytime you’ve spent pulling back from making videos was truly time well spent. You’re more wise. More confident. You’re truly a witch, and a teacher of witchcraft. Wow. I’m so lucky to follow you. I can’t wait for the book and more of your teachings. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@Innermoonb]

Mines on pre-order, really excited to receive it 🎉❤

[@missangelic69]

Thank you so much for this. I knew what intent was but still had difficulty grasping it. Thank you again for all this much needed information! Beautifully put together, as always.

[@DavidBridger1]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I've been practising since before you were born. I'm solitary, communicative both as an author and as a companion or colleague in varying degrees, but I'm not a teacher. You are, though. You are a naturally gifted teacher, wise, calm, and hugely helpful to anyone who takes the time to listen, regardless of our existing knowledge and experience. There's always something here. Thank you and bless you.

[@rachelannbarkley2329]

I pre ordered your book today. Super excited.

[@alwayscuriousalwayslearnin]

its kind oif strange for me the first time I really noticed intent was back in the early 1990s when I was doing my Set of Tai Chi I was in the front yard slowly moving then it happened a feeling that I rarely feel I mean rarely and as I was slowly moving I could feel it moving through my body after I finished my set I started to notice things all around a connection to nature I did another set and same thing happened but a little more , it has started with me even now , the thing is I am very sure that connection is intent or part of it, sort of like being lost in a good book you look at the clock and its hours later intention has no time . I also think we all practice some kind of witch craft , the first time I did intention I used what I learned through Tai Chi and Chi Gong and for me it helps, I enchanted a couple of my silver rings for protection one for sensing\feeling . I think that everyone should use what feels natural to them so as to not push or force but flow like a stream. I also think that Witch craft at least true witch craft isn't forced it a apart of nature it has energy and one should never force the energy of nature but manipulate it just a little, slightly changing the direction of a stream with a nudge . but again these are what I have found also I have only been intentionally practicing off and on also mixing it my soft martial arts ways for maybe a couple years . Of Course I live in Canada so I guess the book will arrive in late Dec or early Jan

[@ckr4699]

I stumbled upon your videos while looking for resources and loved what you posted, so I bought the book yesterday. Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for creating such a thorough explanation of intent and such a beautiful book!

[@RoanThorrson]

Absolutely amazing video. I had read about intent with spellwork, but your video explained it so much better. Thank you 😊 Blessed Be ❤

[@tammydouglas1012]

I just ordered your book 5 minutes ago! It will be here Tuesday!

[@sydnifaith9870]

So thankful for your content. Besides the obvious, being that you explain things in a very understandable way, I also get such a sense of calm from your videos. Actually, I had been watching this while anxious last night, and actually had fallen asleep twice which is crazy 😂 rewatching this morning, and it gave me a sense of peace before heading into work. I also appreciate the encouragement, giving us hope that it’s okay if we don’t quite get it at first. Anyway- it’s early and that may have not made good sense, but I wanted to say thank you! And also that I’m ordering and can’t wait to read ☺️

[@jampuppy]

Fantastic video. This is applicable to so many aspects of life, whether we think of ourselves as witches or not. It’s nice that you acknowledge those who don’t visualize very easily. I am not one of the one but have encountered people like that. Great stuff! Thanks

[@staceybaker4925]

I cannot wait to buy your book! I do struggle with visuals and have avoided actual spell craft because of it and your a fab teacher so I’m sure your book will help me xx

[@PhoenixN.]

Hi Annabel, I am new to the craft by about half a year. I am still trying to figure out my craft but all of your videos suggest that I might be a blue witch (a witch who commits herself to multiple different kinds of craft along with her coven). I cannot wait to learn more about herbs and everything and as soon as your book comes out here in England, then I will have it. I cannot wait to start my witchy journey with your help!

[@kiluanon]

Pre-ordered today! Hi from New Orleans :)

[@libeluladevidro]

incantation might be the best method for me haha, im really good at visualizing things, but i get distracted so easily, i find muttering to myself, or singing, helps to keep myself focused! i think thats why so many spells have rhymes, bc its easy to remember and repeat and focus on

[@SideQuestsQueen]

So excited to read your book! Ive already gotten so much just from this video! Thank you! 😊

[@pamelajensen5961]

My goodness the way you word things in your videos is so wonderful. I'm pretty sure this topic isn't one I haven't heard other creators make vids on but you make the topic make sense vs just mentioning it ❤

[@shadowmoon044]

hi Anna, i really love this topic. thank you! i just have this question in my mind, can we imbue this intent to an object or person?

[@johnadamski4012]

🌲🍀🐾🎓🦉your description of your visualization of the energy welling up from within you, is in accordance with what True Witchcraft is about. ". . .no matter what charms or amulets are used, nor what words are spoken, True Magick Comes From WITHIN". Or, so I've read. Like I said in some your other videos, You're the real deal Annabel🧝‍♀️😎💚🦉🎓🐾🍀🌲.

[@joutavainen2920]

i´ve been writing intents for my new tarot cards! (or is it oracle, who cares) because there´s 77 cards i went crazy and wanted 77 different intents :) also 77 different sounds and 77 different actions (when you pull this card you should blow it or shake it). anything 77 i can think of i will add to this deck, and that´s why it will suck! also i´ve noticed some of the older cards are too negative, possibly because times were harder then? i looked from my own tradition, the ratio between positive and negative intents was like 6:1.. so that´s how it will also be in my cards (actually it was lower, i just have to fit everything with the number of cards). i think if you go more negative then your culture might be filled with negativity (as we know misery loves company).
