A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep..

..If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish
will come true
Oh the dream that you wish
will come true
~ Matthew Morrison (lyrics)

If you believe.. when you believe.. what you believe.. with all your heart, with every fiber of your being – that is intent.

Light a candle and blow it out or let it go out on its own – that is ritual.

Birthday candles and wishes are steeped in tradition.

Wishes at bedtime before you fall asleep is sympathetic magic.

Wishing upon a shooting star is sympathetic magic.

Intention + ritual + tradition = spellcasting, in its simplest form.
