5 Ways to Shift into a Magickal Mindset

1. Light a Candle with Purpose

Lighting a candle is a super-easy and powerful way to clear the path and kickstart change. It helps you focus on your goals and lets the Universe know you're open to new opportunities, and THAT's a magickal mindset!


Try this: Light a yellow, orange, or white candle and say an affirmation like: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome what’s meant for me.”


This daily witchy practice boosts your intentions and helps you find clarity and make progress, especially when you're feeling stuck.

2. Repeat a Powerful Affirmation

Words have a lot of power, and what you tell yourself really matters. If you want to start manifesting good things in your life, it helps to use some simple, positive affirmations to shift into a magickal mindset.


Try this one: “I'm open to whatever good is headed my way.”


Say it while you're getting ready, lighting your candle, or even while scrolling through your morning feed. This kind of intentional wording really helps change your vibe quickly into a more magickal mindset.

3. Journal a Little Each Day

You don’t need to create an intense or complicated journaling routine—just jotting down a few quick notes each day can create a magickal mindset by helping you recognize your energy patterns and reconnect with your goals.


You can use your journal for things like:

  • Tracking your energy and emotions
  • Reflecting on your card pulls
  • Writing down what you’re manifesting or letting go of

Journaling is great for clearing out mental clutter and keeping your intentions fresh and clear, which boosts your magickal mindset.

Steve Maraboli

4. Clear Your Space and Energy

Removing obstacles, or “opening roads,” isn’t just symbolic—it's energetic. When you clear your space—both physically and spiritually—you allow new opportunities and insights to flow in.


You can try using:

  • Road Opener oil or some purifying incense
  • A sound cleansing with chimes or bells
  • A bowl of salt or herbs at your entrance

    Clearing blocks is an important part of magickal mindset practices. It helps keep energy flowing and aligned with your intentions.

5. Pull a Card for Guidance

Start your day with clarity. Pull a tarot or oracle card and ask something like: “What should I focus on today?” or “What energy do I need to welcome?”


This is a fun and intuitive way to stay in sync with your intentions and adjust your magickal mindset based on divine insight. Bonus points if you journal your card pull!
