Words, as we all know, are powerful things. But what if I told you that they're actually spells in disguise? It's true! When you speak something with intention, it becomes true. It's like the magic in the old fairy tales – if you believe it, it will come to pass.
Just like the sacraments in Catholicism, our words have the power to bless and curse, to heal and to harm. Take the movie "The Help," for example. When Aibileen tells Mae Mobley "you is kind, you is smart, and you is important," she's casting a spell of self-confidence and empowerment. And on the flip side, when someone hurls an insult at someone else, like "hey fuck you!", that could be the breaking point for them. Our words have the power to shape reality.
The magic of words isn't limited to insults and affirmations though. When you make a promise, when you say "I do" at your wedding, when you hold boundaries and say no or yes, when you chant in a group or make a vision board – all of these things are spells. The magic ingredient is intention. When you know yourself and what you want, and you're able to speak it into being, that's when the magic happens.
And the more people who believe in a particular intention, the stronger the spell becomes. That's why confiding in friends and working together is so powerful – the more people who are focused on a shared goal, the more likely it is to come to fruition.
This type of magic is often associated with the "divine feminine," and women and femme folks who are able to tap into this energy. Society often portrays women as "chatty" or "sitters at home," but maybe they know something that everyone could benefit from. The idea of women having this kind of power might scare some people, and that's why there have been systems throughout history (and today) that demonize "witchcraft," even when it's as simple as herbalism or talk therapy.
So, my friends, next time you open your mouth to speak, remember that your words are spells. Use them wisely, and cast your magic with intention. Can you tell I've been watching a lot of "Real Housewives" lately?
