And the lessons subsequently learned!
I was taught to make wands using crystals when I did my crystal healing therapy course, and the rest was pretty instinctual. This is a manifestation wand made with an explosive combination of high vibrational stones with a clear quartz transmitter at the top and a smoky quartz for grounding at the bottom. The first mistake I made was to write one key manifestation statement and put it inside the wand; it meant that once it manifested, the wand became effectively redundant.
It manifested the outcome I had asked for within about two moon cycles. I will write up that whole story sometime. It is still a much treasured piece. (Picture missing due to inactive Photobucket account which I have tried and failed to re-instate!)
Following the success of this, the following year, I wrote the spell beneath for myself and my friend Silvia.
We performed the spell on winter solstice 2007. It worked in some ways: Silvia truly found her soulmate in January 2008; I ended my relationship in the summer and found a new partner almost immediately; everything seemed wonderful, it was like a love story – but it turned out he was still in love with his ex.
I think that taught me not to put time-frames on manifestation work. Sometimes we just have to acquiesce to the time-frames the angels and higher beings know is for our highest good. They couldn’t attract my true soulmate into my life at that time for reasons I shall only know in retrospect; but they did bring romance into my life within the time-frame. It was entirely my own fault it ended it heartbreak.
Other than that, the spell was well-crafted but I would take out the time stipulations (italicised) if you wish to use it.
I invoke the blazing violet flame
To burn out the darkness, only my light must remain
I invoke the archangels, magnificent and strong
Thanking with love how they’ve helped me along
I invoke crystal energies, all colours and forms
Align with my spirit and make me reborn
I call upon the fire of the south
As my heart blazes with the heat of a million suns
I call upon the starlight of the north
As my spirit stands strong and in its power
I call upon the winds of the west
Bring change upon the breeze and make me blessed
I call upon the new day in the east
Infuse my life with a sunrise of peace
Calling all angels and spirits of a higher mind
To make two realities intertwined
Take every moment until this one
And dedicate it to this unique hour
Take all the love that’s in my soul
And amplify it to make me whole
My heart is pure and my intention clear
Bring my twin flame and I together within the year
And it harm none, so mote it be
For the highest good of all I see
