Manifesting Do You Believe?

Do you believe in manifesting? How do you manifest? I have several ways I manifest, from burning bay leaves to meditating, to using candles. I’ll tell you about my candle way. When I want something really powerful I use candles. First I inscribe a key word or name on the candle. Then I prick my finger and rub blood on the wick. I then roll the candle in my hands saying what I am manifesting for 9xs. And I say it like it’s already true. Example: I love my new job instead of I hope I get the new job. And be specific. Then I rub the appropriate oils and herbs on the candle, light it and watch it burn all the way down. I have found doing this repeatedly every day til it comes true to work. To me it’s like a prayer. I sometimes read the candle wax when the candles go out for further messages. In my experience, manifesting works. I don’t know if it’s my spirit guides, God, or ancestors who help them come true but I do believe there is something spiritual that helps the manifestations. What do you think?
