Your word is your wand

Florence Scovel Shinn

Florence Scovel Shinn (1871–1940) was a New Thought teacher, artist, and metaphysical writer whose works emphasized the power of words, faith, and intuition in shaping destiny. She believed life is a spiritual game governed by divine law, where affirmations and positive thought align individuals with abundance, health, and harmony. Her most famous book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, taught that spoken words act as creative forces, manifesting reality. Shinn’s practical spirituality blended biblical wisdom with metaphysical principles, inspiring countless seekers to trust inner guidance, release fear, and embrace love as the ultimate key to fulfillment.
