What is a manifestation box? A manifestation box, also called a creation box, or wish box, or intention box, can be a powerful tool in creating the life you want. The idea is to place things in the box you want to attract or manifest in life. Each time you do, you are sending an affirmation to the universe, and your intentions will begin to draw your desires.
This is a great craft idea you can do for your altar! Mine is a little large for my altar so I have it off to the side. But I wanted large so I could keep filling it up and never have to take anything out. I found a cool treasure chest to match my ocean aesthetic from Michael’s and spent the day painting it. I have always loved the night sky so I painted a galaxy inside of my chest. The ocean at night looking up into the stars is one of my all time favorite scenes. So much so, that I painted the scene and have it hanging on my wall at home.
I also approach my manifestation box a little differently. To begin with, I have an offering plate on my altar. I place current spells, offerings, blessings, wishes, and lucky charms there. I used to have a lot of trouble with staying positive and being able to realize I have blessings at all. Depression is very hard to cope with so I had to find a way. As a sea witch, I now place a (few) metal dabloon(s) on my altar each evening for all of the blessings I have received in that day. Even if it is only one. You can ALWAYS find something to be grateful for, even if it is just having a roof over your head. Once my offering plate fills up, I transfer all of my offerings, as well as my intentions, into my manifestation box. Seeing my manifestation box filling up with my dabloon blessings really does have an affect on your psyche. Especially since money is one of the things I want to manifest.
I also place notes and spells of things I want to manifest inside the box. Last year, I made of list of things I wanted to accomplish. After Samhain, I looked at my list and realized I had accomplished 6 of the 8 items and one of them was at least partially accomplished. 6.5 out of 8 isn’t bad! I was able to manifest all of those intentions! I have a new note in the box for the next year of things I want to accomplish. Decorate your box however you like and bring your intentions to life! As a sea witch, my box is a treasure chest filling up with dabloon blessings, along with offering stones and intention letters written on parchment. Get creative and get messy with your craft or even make it a family project! What’s in your box?
From our altar to yours, with love from the sea,
