Magick is everyone’s birthright. Do you have any inkling on the causes? Have you done any divinations into it? You’re in good company there’s lots of posts just like this one here. Some people got it going after that, some went quiet.
One of the best mages I know, @DarkestKnight nearly gave up nearly 10 years ago, but not anywhere near so fast as only 1 year, after 10 years, and then he made it work. He had unusual blocks but persevered and overcame. He’s 20 YEARS into this journey, and you give up after only one? It takes that much to build your intuition and start trusting it.
Magick is a skill, if you post what you’re doing maybe we can help you troubleshoot. If you’re blocked, and it’s more effort than you want to spend, I get it, but that’s your choice it doesn’t mean you couldn’t, it means you chose not to. It’s not for you if you give up on your development instead of finding out why it’s not working.
I honestly think the only reason it was easier for me, was because I spent my first 30 years not doing magick at all, but learning energy working and qigong. Western occultism made perfect sense with that under my belt and worked from day one… most people don’t do that first, they add it later if at all. But it was the key for me, but I didn’t guess that magick “wasn’t for me” for 30 years, I didn’t know about it, and I’m willing to bet if you put way less than that into your astral skills development and energy, you’d have less of an issue as well.
