5 tips on how to rewire your brain toward success
Before we talk about 5 tips on how to rewire your brain towards success we owe to tell that the whole essence of manifestation begins with what kind of mindset you have and how to rewire your brain toward success. The stuff that we have wired our brain with creates patterns of thoughts that repeat themselves and that is why we are predictable and get unsurprising outcomes.

That is because, for most people, the new year starts on the first of January and many of the customs and spells are using this delicious fruit to kiss goodbye the old and welcome the new!

A common belief was that witches worshipped multiple gods, like pagans, or that they dedicated themselves to the One God for his guidance. In medieval times, people believed witches were Devil worshipers of course.
