Magickal Inspiration: How to set goals

Photos by Magenta School of Magick

Setting goals is a foundational skill that can empower you to reach new heights, whether you’re aiming for personal growth, professional development, or simply a more organised daily routine. Mastering the art of goal setting can transform your aspirations into reality, and of course we add a magickal twist to this. 

How to set goals “neurolinguistic programming” style

In neurolinguistic programming (NLP), goals are called “well-formed outcomes” and are typically written down. These always focus on achieving desired results, and always focus on what is wanted, never what is to be avoided. In NLP goals are always perceptible through our sensory systems (we can see, hear, or feel them), they are attainable, and are usually measurable within a timeframe or some other measure. 

How to set goals using Humanistic Magick

You can use the NLP approach to set goals magickally. For example, if you’re casting spells you might think of using the techniques from NLP, to reframe your goals using positive language, saying what it is you want rather than what you want to reduce. 

In NLP, goals are often written down, and you can add to this through visualisation and vision boarding to help you picture the desired change. A huge part of successful magickal practise is in concentrating on what change looks like by visualisation how it might feel when it happens and testing assumptions and fears so these don’t get in the way. Investing considerable time in visualising change, from inception through to manifestation, is helpful to ensure change becomes possible.

In NLP goal achievement manifests itself physically, and your goals may also do this but as a spiritually minded person, you also get to layer on synchronicity and all the beauty that is found in that.  

How to set goals

It’s time to transform your aspirations into tangible achievements and phrase your goals in the positive, so that you can embark on the rewarding path to success.

With powerful magickal techniques like visualisation, coupled with neurolinguistic programming, your magickal goal setting can empower you to take control of your future, and recognise the results when they manifest.
