In honour of it being Valentines Day we wanted to share an extract from one of our amazing titles ‘Magical Ever After’ - Manifesting Your Fairy-Tale Romance With Angels, Mermaids & Faeries, written by Muse Oracle Press author Erica Rose
When we were little kids we were shown love through the lens of rose-colored glasses. We read stories about the magic of true love’s kiss. We watched movies where happily ever after came after the star-crossed couple finally got together. We saw love as a fairy tale, a romantic dream come true, and everything anyone could ever want in a lifetime.
Then, we grew up, and our rose colored glasses cracked. We watched movies that glorified dramatic romances. We heard stories of once-happy couples fighting through nasty divorces. We experienced people in relationships who lied, cheated, and broke their promises. We belted out songs about being heartbroken; we had our hearts broken. We were convinced by society that love doesn’t always last; we can’t trust anyone; and dating, quite frankly, is the absolute worst.
These widely accepted narratives fuel the cycle of people genuinely believing that finding and keeping love is difficult.
The real truth is—those narratives are a lie.
I always held high expectations of having a fairy-tale romance, but throughout my teens and early 20s, my love life proved to be more like a Grimm’s fairy tale than a Disney one.
Of all the areas of my life, love had been my biggest struggle. It was hard to see others find love so effortlessly, while it was just disappointment after disappointment for me. I was tired of repeated relationships not working out and being told my standards were too high.
It was also heartbreaking to know that I just wasn’t the one potential partners wanted.
After one particularly frustrating dating experience, I had my enough-is-enough moment and remembered my power in creating my reality. I knew about manifestation. I worked with spirits, like angels, faeries, and mermaids, to help me in almost every other aspect of my life, so why couldn’t I work with them to manifest love I had been dreaming of?
I got serious and dedicated myself to doing the inner work. I analyzed the energy of those around me who had love versus the ones who didn’t. I dove into healing my romantic past, shifting my mindset around love, and working with Spirit to receive divine wisdom on how to call in everything I wanted and more.
Not long after I started making this shift, I manifested a new corporate job for a company I had once dreamed of working for. Within the first couple of months of being there, I began to click with one of my co- workers. We quickly became best friends. I couldn’t help but compare how similar we were to Jim and Pam from the US version of The Office (an iconic couple in my eyes). The two of us were always talking and laughing about the silliest things, but we also shared deep, life conversations. We had an effortless chemistry, and while at first, neither of us had any intention other than genuine friendship, eventually, over time, we started to fall in love with each other. Since we were just friends, we both had that awkward inner monologue running through our heads:
Do they feel the same way about me? Do I tell them how I feel and risk ruining the friendship?
Neither of us wanted to ruin what we had or admit our feelings, so we kept them buried.
One December evening, things started to change.
I attended a friend’s Christmas party where, at the end of the night, one of her co-workers asked me to go out on a date the following week. I reluctantly decided to go. After all, I was technically single and under the assumption my best friend would never have feelings for me.
As the date approached, I knew something felt off and wrong. I told my best friend about it, but despite what he really wanted to say, he encouraged me to go and have a good time as any best friend would.
On the date, as we were ice skating at Bryant Park with all the twinkling holiday lights surrounding us, snow started to float gently down from the sky, and at that moment, it hit me. I realized I didn’t want to be here with this guy or anyone else. I was in love with my best friend! I wanted to be here with him, holding his hand, and being romantic on a date.
I always told the Universe I wanted a ‘rom-com-esque’ love story and it delivered. At the exact moment of my realization, my best friend was at the airport. I later learned that he was anxiously pacing back and forth in the terminal, distressed about me being on a date with someone else because he was finally ready to admit to himself that he was in love with me, too.
It still took a few months for things to align after that, but that summer, we finally went out on a real date to see a live performance of Hamlet in a beautiful outdoor courtyard. The play, however, was cut short due to unexpected rain, which allowed us to privately have the most magical, movie-like kiss in the rain. Finally, we fell out of the friend zone and into our romantic relationship.
Four and a half years later, my best friend proposed to me in Trocadéro across from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a romantic nod to the Valentine’s Day card he had given me every single year. We were married in a fairy-tale wedding at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Walt Disney World on the sixth anniversary of that first magical kiss in the rain. Our ceremony had views of Cinderella’s Castle and we even got to ride in a pumpkin- shaped carriage!
Fairy-tale romances do exist. Let my story be proof of that. I know it’s no coincidence once I decided to work with my inner magic that my love life changed. I was able to manifest a divinely aligned true love and a cinematic love story that exceeded all my high expectations. I did it all by shifting my energy.
Everything is made up of energy. Our thoughts, our feelings, our bodies, our minds—every single thing in the Universe has an energetic frequency. We exist in one giant energy field, and as we learned from science class, the energy an object vibrates at and projects into the field is the same energy that will reverberate back.
Therefore, the energy you project is the energy that will return to you. Your thoughts and internal beliefs determine your energetic frequency. Whatever you believe to be true about the world is exactly what will come back to you and show up for you as your reality.
Your brain always wants to prove you right. It never wants you to think you’re wrong. If you have genuinely accepted the narrative that love is a struggle, your brain will alert you to examples that support those internal beliefs, in your life and others’ lives.
Actively noticing these examples only further solidifies your story that love is arduous. This will cause you to keep projecting that energy and, in turn, receive more situations of love being difficult. It’s a vicious cycle—but it doesn’t have to be!
If you can recognize that your negative beliefs about love originate from outside influences—whether from bitter family members, unhappy friends, or society as a whole— it proves that these beliefs were learned, not inherent. If you learned them, you can unlearn them. It’s possible to fill your brain with new beliefs that support the story of true love you want to be experiencing.
When it comes to manifesting love, your mind is your most powerful tool.
Your other most powerful tool is connecting with Spirit. Intuition isn’t a rare blessing bestowed only to a lucky few; it’s an innate sense that exists within all of us. Intuition is like a muscle; the more you develop and train it, the stronger it will be.
Just as it’s technically possible for all of us to have six-pack abs if we were to dedicate ourselves to strengthening our core, all of us have the potential to be intuitive channels if we dedicate ourselves to practicing. Don’t worry, developing your sixth sense is much easier than getting six-pack abs, I promise!
Tapping into our intuition helps us receive guidance from beautiful spirits like angels, fairies, and mermaids. Yes, they’re all real and divine beings who can generously help us bring more love and joy into our lives. Their wisdom is invaluable as they push us to see what’s been holding us back and how we can make significant changes to live the magical life they know we can create.
I created this book as your ultimate guide to align your mindset and connect with the angels, fairies, and mermaids to help you manifest the true love you’ve been dreaming of.
If it’s possible for me, just know it’s absolutely possible for you! The energy field we live in does not play favorites. We’re all equal, so what’s possible for one is possible for all. I was able to become an energetic match for romantic love by creating my own manifestation methods, all of which I am going to share with you in this book.
Think of this book as your essential companion filled with exercises, meditations, manifestation rituals, mindset shifts, and enlightened advice to support you on your journey to find love.
Know that it doesn’t matter how new or experienced you are with manifesting and connecting to Spirit. You are incredibly capable of tapping into your intuitive senses, connecting with the angels, fairies, and mermaids, and aligning your energy to finally manifest your true love and ideal love story.
