I would just caution that you don’t want to lust for results, meaning you doubt your earlier workings. This magickally negates them but assuming the energy had failed, which makes it fail via the law of assumption. Now you have working in place I would take the attitude that it’s already working and stop stressing.
This advice is connected to love spells but it’s valid for all:
Did they though? It’s only UPG that they did, and most significantly, it’s not YOUR UPG it’s this one other person’s, so it’s a bit flimsy to hang too much on just yet. For all you know they were authentic but influenced by a parasitic entity that wants to feed on the baneful energy of not just such a working, but the fact that to do it you are held into a pattern of thinking about and dredging up and remembering the past.
If a couple of other readers independently come up with the same idea without influence, then you can consider that something serious to work on, but otherwise not really, UPG is UPG.
I pulled a card and got Grindstone. This indicates what’s needed is hard and consistent work. Not really surprising, that’s how it is when you are a business owner.
I think it’s giving good news that you’re not cursed by this trauma, so that’s not a reason for a baneful working: you are not haunted. if you were I’d say banish. I would say it’s time to move on now, you’re overcoming it and there’s no more battling to be done there.
