Willow: Guardian Angel of Manifestation
Willow: Guardian Angel of Manifestation
There have been many times when I have thought manifestation is overhyped, that it went from being about a simple energetic process to a get-rich-quick scheme. People got very hooked on getting stuff and lost sight of how manifestation energy can enhance life in real, lasting ways. Guardian Willow came to me in one of those cynical moments in 2013. At the time, I had just landed my very first publishing contract and was wanting a way to make sure it wasn’t my last, but the manifestation teachings at the time had strayed into yachts, luxury cars, and finding a rich husband—none of which had absolutely any appeal to me. I struggled with manifesting for a long time. As it is often taught, manifestation can be super stressful for people with anxiety; it is almost impossible for the anxious mind to trick itself into thinking something is there that clearly isn’t. If that was the case, anxiety wouldn’t be an issue.
Willow showed me multiple paths to manifesting energy, ones that did not trigger my anxiety, ones that allowed me to feel more like I was working toward a plan and less wishful thinking. She also showed me the difference between having an optimistic attitude and toxic positivity. Willow taught me that manifestation is not a one-size-fits-all energy. It works differently for different people, and her job is to guide us along the path that works best for us as individuals. Through working with Willow, I learned how to tap in and leverage my own personal manifestation energy. We hope that after you spend some time with her, you will too.

Willow will poke you a little each day to follow the energetic threads to things you heart truly desires, creating momentum.
In many respects guardians Willow, Faith, and Daniel work hand in hand. Their energy is very similar, and they all play very key roles in moving us along the path of creation/manifestation/inspiration, which is one more thing Willow taught me. Manifestation is a team sport, not an individual pursuit. The more we try to do it alone, the more frustrating it will become. Willow sometimes presents herself as an opportunity, a clear path to what was once blocked. She can also be an open door where there wasn’t even a door before. She will show you that the magic is really in the everyday small tasks you take for granted. Willow is the master of mundane magic, that is, things you consider boring and regular. If there is one thing I have learned from working with Willow over the years, it is that nothing—and I mean nothing—is without magic. The very thing
