Your Word Is Your Wand: A Sequel to the Game of Life and How to Play It (Unabridged)

What if the words you repeat every day are not just describing your life?

What if they are helping create it?

In Your Word Is Your Wand, Florence Scovel Shinn takes one of the central ideas of New Thought and gives it unforgettable form: your spoken word carries creative power.

Long before manifestation became a modern buzzword, Shinn was teaching readers to treat language as spiritual force.

Speak fear, and you strengthen fear.

Speak lack, and you rehearse limitation.

Speak faith, possibility, abundance, and expectation—and you begin training the mind to recognize a different future.

For Shinn, words are not casual.

They are seeds.

They are instructions.

They are, in her famous phrase, a wand.

Drawing from biblical teachings, Christian mysticism, metaphysics, affirmations, and the Law of Attraction tradition, Shinn shows how language can be used to redirect attention, calm fear, strengthen confidence, and align the imagination with what she calls Divine Design.

This book is especially powerful for anyone who has ever caught themselves saying:

“I can’t afford it.”

“Nothing ever works out for me.”

“I’m always behind.”

“I’ll probably fail.”

Shinn’s challenge is simple: stop giving your worst expectations a voice.

For the student trying to build confidence and direction.

For the woman balancing family, finances, relationships, and personal goals.

For anyone learning how to replace anxiety, scarcity, and self-defeating habits with stronger language and a more intentional inner life.

Nearly a century after its publication, Your Word Is Your Wand fits naturally beside today’s conversations about affirmations, manifestation, abundance, visualization, self-concept, positive thinking, Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, and the Law of Attraction.

Part prayer book, part affirmation manual, part metaphysical instruction, it offers a practical vocabulary for changing the story you keep telling yourself.
