Your Word Is Your Wand

Florence Scovel Shinn · 1871–1940

A short companion to The Game of Life, made mostly of affirmations gathered under the needs people brought to Shinn — prosperity, health, love, guidance, protection. Best read as a workbook, a few pages at a time, and discussed for what it reveals about how words steer attention.

Questions for discussion

  1. Why might saying a sentence aloud change how a person acts afterwards?

  2. Which affirmations here feel true to you, and which feel like wishful thinking? What decides it?

  3. How would you adapt this book for someone from a different faith tradition from Shinn's?
