Firstly, it seems like you’ve at least seen my BALG repository thread (You liked the post). If so, im not quite sure how you can say that you’ve seen very little proof of people producing results which indicate more than simple changes in others reactions. Like…did you just glaze over the whole baneful section of that thread where at one moment, a prick was alive and well…then the next they were dead? Thats a pretty big verifiable change in a persons state of being dont you think? People don’t just drop dead willy nilly…especially in the western world, where the vast majority of people make it past their 60th birthday. I’ve said many times that the best proof of magicks efficacy is through baneful workings. Its very difficult to so flippantly dismiss the death of a target as “just a coincidence” unless you’re just really trying hard to not believe. Even moreso if you’ve done several baneful workings.
I’ve also had my fair share of pretty undeniable experiences…chief amongst those was the time i sent Dra’talon, a demon from EA’s grimoire to attack someone. A few months after the ritual, the target came to me and told me that he was attacked in the night while in bed by an entity that was made of like a black smoke…and it started choking him. Every time he tried to move its hands off him, the targets hands would just pass right through its gaseous body. Well…lo and behold, when you look at the description of Dra’talon in the book…he is described as an entity essentially made of a dark mist/fog. So it was pretty clear at that point that i had made contact with a real entity/force outside of my own mind. Additionally, it caused harm to the person which I would say passes your threshold of a verifiable result which produced more than a simple change in anothers reaction
You have many other instances like this in that BALG repository thread, which is why im confused by your statement of there being a lack of evidence of people producing significant changes in others…but i’ll point your attention to a couple that come to mind.
Here is a story of a user turning a straight girl gay using a demon
This is a story of someone summoning a demon, and having it appear in the dream of a roommate who had zero knowledge of magick or the demon in question
There’s a reason why you struggled to get people to respond to this thread. When it comes to proof of this stuff, and verifiable results…skeptics usually are never satisfied by what you provide…especially over the internet…so its usually viewed as a waste of time. At the end of the day, this is all just text on a page…so you need to be somewhat realistic in your expectations of what kind of evidence someone can post here that would convince you of anything. I mean…how do you know that I didn’t just make up the story I shared with you above? You don’t…which is why it’s important to view anything you read on here in its proper context.
BALG is a free, open sourced library. Not every book in a library is going to be a good one…so yeah, I’m going to listen to some users more than other ones. And even when you do find a book that is compelling, it is still nothing more than text on a page. The most compelling books are the ones that we can corroborate through personal experience. For instance, I pick up a cook book from a library, and from that book I read several interesting recipes. To test their voracity, I follow the recipes myself and create a great meal because of it…therefore solidifying my experience with the text.
This is why the best verifiable results are the results you create for yourself. If the ~ 200 stories in the BALG Repository weren’t satisfying enough, then you aren’t likely going to be satisfied by anything anyone posts here.
