Vision boards are one of the best ways to manifest your intentions. You don’t have to be especially artistic or creative to make one, either. All you need is a clear vision for what you want to call in, a poster board, pictures, and glue. Let your magick speak through your creativity, as you manifest your dream life. 

Read on to learn more about the spiritual energy of making a vision board, how to set intentions with yours, and ritualize your experience. 

🌟  What’s a Vision Board & How Does It Work?

A vision board is a physical representation of your aspirations, goals, and intentions. It’s typically a standard-size board that has a collage of various pictures, quotes, and other elements of physical media attached to it. Most vision boards are made up of pictures, but it’s not unusual for some boards to have things like ribbons, beads, crystals, and more attached to them. Vision boards are totally customizable, so they can represent a mix of intentions or just one manifestation. Vision boards can also represent a specific time period, ranging anywhere from a month to a year ahead. Regardless, vision boards are typically used to call in specific wishes, so vision boards are magickal. All you have to do is believe in what you’re setting intentions for as you create your vision board. 

🧘  Setting Intentions with Your Vision Board 

Vision boards can be used in manifestation magick, so it’s important to be clear and concise with your intentions while creating your vision board. Take your time considering what you want to call in. Money, love, travel, growth—the options are endless. Depending on what you desire, you can either dedicate a whole board to a specific intention or put several intentions on one board. It completely depends on what you wish to bring into your life. 

Once you know what you want, it’s important to find pictures, quotes, and other forms of physical media aligned with your desires. For example, pictures of happy couples, engagement rings, and weddings can be used to manifest your love intentions. It doesn’t matter if you use pictures you’ve taken or if you use pictures from magazines and Pinterest. Your vision board is customizable, so find elements that accurately represent your aspirations and goals. 

🎨  Here’s What You Need to Make a Vision Board

Vision boards don’t require a lot, since this can be a simpler ritual practice for manifestation. However, you’re more than welcome to embellish your vision board with extravagant extras, like glitter and ribbons. It totally depends on how creative you want to get! What matters most is your intention as you make your vision board. Regardless of how you design your vision board, here’s what you need to get started:

• Poster board or canvas
• Heavy-duty glue or tape
• Pictures that represent your intentions
• Quotes or blurbs that align with your intentions
• Markers and pens

Pro-Tip. Make a mock vision board on Canva or Pinterest. Taking the time to play around with pictures and placements can help you visualize what the final masterpiece will look like.

🔮  Witchy Vision Board Tips & Tricks 

Now that you have everything you need to create your vision board, it's time to craft! Here are our tips for creating a powerful vision board and fulfilling ritual practice:

Light a Candle. Set the mood by lighting a candle. Consider burning one black candle to banish and protect against negative energy, while simultaneously burning one white candle to create an energetically pure space for manifestation. You can also add additional colored candles to your ritual to represent more specific intentions, such as green for abundance or pink for love. Candles can also be swapped out for incense or herb bundles. 

Focus Your Energy. Write down your specific intentions on your blank board to seal them into your board. You can even write specific intentions in certain places on your board, then layer corresponding pictures and quotes on top of the corresponding intention. Aside from scripting your manifestations onto your board, you should also visualize your manifestations while gluing your pictures and quotes down. Envision what it would be like to live the dream life you’re co-creating with the universe. 

End with Gratitude. Practicing gratitude throughout your process will lock in your manifestations. Give thanks for everything you’ve already received and experienced. Reflecting on everything that's already come into your life with a positive, uplifting mindset can help you call in that much more with your vision board.
