“Hello, my loves, I am Zarimoth, Mystical Illustrator, and in this new Grimoire article I want to teach you a magical act: transforming your mystical prints and products into talismans full of energy and intention.
Because yes, an illustration can be much more than simple decorative art—which isn't bad either, mind you—but we can take them to another dimension, as they can become a portal, a symbol of protection, of abundance, a reminder to connect with our magic; in short, another incredible spiritual tool.
So today you're going to learn with me how to set intentions and activate not only the prints you purchase from our mystical shop, but also any object or product that evokes a connection with your spirituality 👁️✨”
🌟 What does it mean to “intend and activate” a mystical object?
Intention and Activation are two distinct but closely connected spiritual acts.
Starting with Activation, this would be the act of awakening the energy of a dormant mystical object or tool, recognizing it for its magical qualities, and aligning it with you, your energy, and its new status as a mystical tool, guide, or companion in your spiritual practice, as we would do in the case of crystals.
And typically, this activation also involves setting an intention; which is to recognize, program, and transmit the qualities you seek to awaken, attract, and generate that spiritual object in your life.
This will be better understood with an example:
Let's say I've been recommended an obsidian stone to protect me from negative energies and charges during my work day.
✦ First of all (and as a witch's advice) it would be to energetically cleanse it so that it is free of any burden prior to reaching our hands.
✦ Once clean, it would recognize and activate its protective power.
✦ And in that activation, to close the act, I would intention it to my spiritual needs and with love, so that it is now my energetic protector when I go to work.
🌈 Why is it important to intentionally create mystical prints and products?
It is true that some objects already inherently possess their energy and mystical qualities and can unconsciously act in your favor (as is the case with obsidian), but this is magnified and enhanced to other levels if we make this conscious act of intention and activation. 🔥✨
And in this way, the energy is not dispersed, but focused on your purpose through that intention (which I will teach you how to plant in a few moments)
You will channel through it your desires and specific needs - protection, abundance, creativity, self-love... and the energy will respond accordingly, reflecting in your reality and manifesting them first within you, and then around you 💡✨
You will strengthen the bond with your object or your mystical art, activating its vibration in your space.
And the most beautiful thing is that this simple act transforms the mundane into sacred, the everyday into ritual, bringing more magic into our lives 🦋✨
🔮 When should you intend and activate them?
Now that we understand the why, let's move on to the next question: when is the right time to do this practice?
Well, the clearest and most logical thing is - when they reach our hands!
Always starting with an energetic cleansing to release any unwanted energy in our mystical product, we will proceed to the activation 🔥✨
Likewise, it is important to reactivate and intend it after each cleansing we do, as a "gentle reminder" to our mystical art of what its purpose is. This may be a simpler process than the initial activation: a simple phrase or spell will suffice to reaffirm the intention 🌙✨
🔮 But if you feel like you want to wait for a special occasion to activate it, be it a new stage, cycle or project in your life, or an astrological/mystical event, I recommend protecting the object and not using it until that event, such as a New Moon or Full Moon, on energy portals or significant dates such as birthdays, moves, weddings... depending on the energy and intention you want to invoke in your object.
💌 Choose the intention you are going to sow
Now that we've cleared up any doubts, the next step is to come up with and choose the intention you're going to plant in your mystical object 🌿✨
Of course, you must be clear that not all objects serve all purposes!
Let me explain: it wouldn't make sense to ask an obsidian to bring you creativity and ideas when its energy is protective, to intend a Turkish evil eye keychain to attract the love of your life, or to use a Hecate print to attract abundance or the energy of another deity.
So first, you need to study, meditate, and research the energy of your object or mystical print—what its properties are—before you intentionally or thoughtlessly use it. 🌙✨
With this clear, and aligning yourself with your object, you must ask yourself:
What is my desire? How can this object help me manifest and attract that energy?
💡 The answers can be multiple and varied, but it is better to set a clear and focused intention (written in the present tense and positive ✨) for your object, instead of setting several and dispersing the energy.
✍️ Methods for Intention and Activation
Once you're clear about the intention you want to establish for your object, it's time to take action! 🔥
We will now explore different methods and practices, some simpler and others more complex, to activate and establish that desire. Use the one that speaks to you most intuitively or change the method depending on the object you intend to activate and intend.
✦ Spoken Word - The simplest; say your intention out loud.
Prepare some personalized affirmations or spells such as “I activate the energy of this crystal, aligning it with myself and my purpose” or “I decree that this print is an energetic portal to attract peace and calm, that its energy envelops me, relaxes me, and guides me.”
✦ Visualization - The meditative process.
Hold the object in your hands, breathe deeply, close your eyes, and when you are calm, visualize a light of divine and positive energy coming from the heavens, entering through your crown and enveloping you completely. Then, focus on how this energy passes through your hands until it reaches the object, connecting it to you. Feel how you also transmit your desire to it through this energetic transmission, and how it becomes established within it.
✦ Writing or Energy Seal - get some paper and pencil.
Write your intention consciously on a piece of paper and place it behind the print, in the frame, inside the packaging... You can also use a personal symbol, a sigil with the intention you want to plant, symbols that provide the energy you want to manifest (such as a cross for protection), or your energetic signature.
✦ Mantra or Song - Using the vibration of your Voice.
Chant or repeat a mantra while holding the object. Try to say a simple one that you can recite several times to enter a trance-like state and connect with your amulet. You can accompany this with playing an instrument, Tibetan singing bowls, or high-frequency music.
✦ Ritual Elements and Ingredients - let's get witchy!
We can complement any of the above methods with additional ingredients to elevate the intention. Anoint the frame or object with a special essential oil such as lavender, rue, or rosemary. Place related crystals around it (preferably in a circle) during the activation, bathe it in seawater, leave it in sunlight or moonlight... follow your intuition!
💡 And to finish this section, I'm leaving you here with a very simple, step-by-step ritual to activate your mystical print or product.
1. Create a conscious sacred space - use crystals, candles, incense, and whatever tools support your practice.
2. Breathe deeply - connect with yourself.
3. Start by energetically cleansing your mystical product.
4. Hold the object with both hands.
5. First, feel its individual energy and qualities —is it cold, heavy, warm, or sweet? What does it convey to you? Do you get any intuition or words when you hold it?
6. Use the Visualization method - to activate your energy and align it with your purpose.
7. And finally, speak your intention and desire —whispering or out loud—to plant it in your object with love.
8. Give thanks - take a few seconds to be with your object in gratitude for the help it will provide you.
9. Place it where you feel it should be .
Remember that the most important thing in any ritual is the intention you place behind each gesture. Choose the elements that resonate most with you and feel how, through them, you enhance the magic that already resides within you and your sacred objects.
🌙 And after the ritual?
First of all, congratulations on performing this ritual. Your mystical products will now be enhanced and elevated. How wonderful! 🔮✨
But it doesn't end there. Now that we've established our intention, it becomes a collaboration between you and the object, a mutual work of co-creation and care so that the energy is channeled and manifested under your will.
This isn't about planning it and then forgetting about it, nor is it about being attentive or obsessively thinking about our intention; but if you use a print to awaken your magic and inspire you to explore your Spiritual Path, it's a matter of consciously observing it in our daily lives to remind ourselves to spend time researching, meditating, or carrying out our mystical practice.
May this object inspire you and become a conscious reminder when you see it to activate your intention through action 🔥✨
But this is obviously lost if we don't act coherently. The object can lend us its energy, its support, its qualities, its protection... but we must do our part to make it happen. It's a team effort! 🌿✨
In addition, and as we mentioned previously, it will be necessary to re-intention it (although a simpler affirmation or holding it with consciousness will suffice) from time to time, after an energetic cleansing or on key dates 🌙✨
And to prevent this from happening too often, take care of it! I'm especially wary of energies, and I get really nervous about other people seeing or touching my amulets or spiritual tools, because their energy can, consciously or unconsciously, interfere with our intentions. So, depending on the object, I recommend protecting it more or less, but at the very least, avoiding physical contact .
💡 If you keep these final tips in mind, they will ensure that your intention stays alive and your new amulet will be happy to work with you to attract and co-create it.
"Remember: you are the witch, the channel, the energy. Your objects don't work their magic without you. But with you… they can be portals of light, protection, transformation, and sacred beauty."
