The Hollow Spell: When Manifestation Feels Empty

Foresight Friday

You did everything right.

You cut cords, cast your spells, journaled with moonlight ink, worked your vision boards until your fingers bled glitter. You asked the Universe for a sign, and you got three. Maybe four. You called it in. You created. You manifested. You did the work.

So… why do you feel nothing?

No joy. No celebration. No sense of worthiness. Just a flat, anticlimactic, “cool… what’s next?”

This is the curse no one talks about.

The Curse of the Forgotten Witch. The one who survived the fire but doesn’t remember how to feel the warmth.

Because let me tell you something the love-and-light crowd won’t:

Just because you got the thing doesn’t mean your body believes you deserve it.

Here’s the hard truth: the more we survive trauma, the more we become numb to the very victories we’re supposed to celebrate.

We were raised in toxic systems—families, environments, governments—that teach us survival mode. They show us how to fight, how to push, how to hustle, how to endure. They didn’t teach us how to receive. How to feel the sweetness of success without self-sabotage. How to believe that our wins are not flukes or accidents, but divine manifestations of our own power.

You’ve likely convinced yourself that this emptiness means:

• “I’m not aligned enough.”

• “I didn’t manifest correctly.”

• “The Universe is testing me.”

Nah.

This isn’t a karmic issue, it’s a trauma response.

And what we’re dealing with isn’t a lack of manifestation power—it’s a nervous system that’s forgotten how to feel safe in success.

You’ve built walls around your heart, trying to keep the pain out. But guess what? The walls also keep out the joy, the celebration, and the truth of your worthiness.

But there’s a way to change that. There’s a way to rewire your body to receive your own magic again.
