Manifesting Magic: A Bus and a Crescent
This morning, amidst the drama of a busy Sydney street (a transport interchange), I reflected on the magical manifestations of yesterday, from a coffee shop I frequent…
Last week, I experimented by suggesting to the universe a symbol for magic: CRESCENT. 
Just to add to the growing repertoire of personally meaningful symbols, it continues to absolutely bombard me daily. 
I cast it out as advised by my friend, with no attachment, and then forgot about it completely… until yesterday when I was photosynthesising like a plant (enjoying that glorious vitamin D) at this same coffee shop. 
And a bus drove by with ‘3333’ on it…
As serendipitous as it is, this in itself has become no special event; I see triple/angel numbers of all kinds DAILY from this coffee shop on the registration plates of passing vehicles… Is it normal to see this number of synchronicities?!
Nonetheless these angel numbers caught my eye, and drew my podcast absorbed attention to… the word: ‘Crescent’ written just above the wheels of the bus. 
No way… I get these buses abundantly and never EVER noticed this! Huh! Go me
I thought as I was picking myself up off the floor (spiritually I’d fallen off my chair)…
It seems I have pulled off a self prescribed synchronicity within about a week… how enchanting! 
Also noting how it occurred when it wasnt in mind at all, and I was purely in a present listening flow state. 
And how I’d cast this in the waxing phase of the moon and in line with my friend’s words the “cumulative effects” manifested right around the full moon. 
Thank you, universe!
