Hi everyone!
This is going to be a rather long text, but I’m really at a loss here (plus I’m a total beginner with magick), so I hope someone finds the time to read this and can help me out a bit.
So last March I matched with this woman on Tinder … I actually didn’t really think we would get along well judging from how she presented herself in her profile, but she was kinda cute and in an open relationship, so I thought maybe I could get some light-hearted fun out of it. A few days later she texted me over some music recommendation in my profile and we clicked right from the first few sentences, it was just a joy writing with her.
We continued to write constantly for the next two months, and I got some hints that her relationship wasn’t in the best place (she even took a two weeks break from writing to fix things). In early May I finally asked her to meet and she said fuck it, things are falling apart anyway, so let’s do this. So she came around for some beers to my apartment, and it was almost bizarre - no initial distance, no ‘getting to know each other’ - it was like we’d know each other since forever -, just pure joy to be with her. Somewhere down the road after a few beers she said that she didn’t know if she’s gonna have sex with me because ‘We get along too well’ / ‘I like you too much’ (not sure which one it was anymore …) - but of course it got to that point anyway and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before (and I’m 41 and have had my share of experiences). Just kissing and embracing her felt like we were literally melting into each other, plus it was a constant, effortless flow between serious talk, joking and doing dirty stuff for hours - magickal, if you will.
The next few days I just pondered on what I got myself into, plus there was pretty much radio silence from her side - until she told me that her boyfriend of 17 years had finally decided to break up and move out. The next few weeks were madness: We had a lot of written contact, lots of deep talk and joking around, and I was constantly cheering her up and stayed calm on the outside while simultaneously trying to not lose my mind over this situation. We only had two more dates during that time, but both of them were out of this world again with all the kissing, comforting and melting into each other (even though there was no more sex).
Finally, the day when we were supposed to have our fourth date she suddenly called to tell me that she can’t do this anymore because - there’s no attraction between us … uhm, yeah. I actually expected this to not end well somehow, but that she gave me this reason fucked me up pretty badly.
After some time of suffering and getting over it I decided to try and build a friendship with her anyway because a) I thought it wasn’t such a long affair anyway and b) I really liked her a lot just as a person (getting amorously involved with her actually wasn’t my priority right until it happened, I just enjoyed her company immensely). We met for a few times after that and it went quite well, right until the moment I realized that had started dating again, which hit me like a brick in the face - and this was also the time when I started working with magick; in a way my desperate situation helped diving ínto it without hesitation.
I’ve been doing various workings since then (visualization/remote seduction, meditating and chanting on the Sargatanas sigil, creating and loading some sigils on my own) and I had some success (I wished for an unspecified beautiful woman to contact me on Tinder via a sigil and it happened almost right away), just not with her … and I’m really not sure on how to continue since the whole situation seems so weird to me (I don’t buy into the ‘no attraction’ thing, but on the other hand that’s what she told me and probably believes herself as well). My plan was to start the first ritual from Damon Brand’s Magickal Seduction tomorrow (ending it properly on full moon), but as I said, I have no idea if it even fits my situation. I also see a lot of parallels to how Twin Flame constellations are described (even though I don’t buy into the concept of split souls), especially because this whole affair has ignited huge changes in me, with the most recent taking place after we met last week for the first time in two months.
So yeah, I’m in a really dark place right now … any advice on how to continue, which methods, entities to work with would be very welcome so I can at least shed some of the confusion and find the strength to continue working.
