Hi everyone, today as in the past I turn to your wisdom at a time of great need and spiritual exploration.
I’m preparing an application for my dream job. In theory, I have all it takes to get it: I’m junior in my field but have solid experience, and the contact for the job confirmed that my profile “fits perfectly” with what they’re looking for. However, as you know, the job market is utter shite lately.
In your experience and opinion, who might I call upon to break through the obstacles posed by a deeply imbalanced and unjust work market? What method would you deem to be most effective?
For added context, here’s some details on my magickal inclinations and the situation I am dealing with.
In the past I had some pretty amazing experiences with the 72 Angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash using Damon Brand’s “72 Angels of Magick”. My desire to learn more pushed me to research, and I came across Jacobus G. Swart’s work, which is thought to be a major source from which Damon Brand and the Gallery of Magick drew sigils and divine names. However, despite its famously simplistic nature, Brand’s method has been very effective in my experience, and I didn’t feel a need to change in that respect.
As for Goetic spirits, years ago I had some decent contact experiences using the method in Gordon Winterfield’s “Demons of Magick”. However, my petitions did not seem to work with them, and in general I felt I am far more inclined towards angelic workings. In short, they feel more intuitive to me and come more natural to me, they “fit me better” if you will.
In recent years I kept having good results for other intentions (for myself and even other people) and with a variety of methods other than angel magick (sigils, candle magick, even spell jars). However, this one big goal, the advancement of my career, just doesn’t seem to budge. I should say that there has definitely been huge progress within me: I refined my abilities considerably, made huge improvements to my profile, and became a “perfect fit”, or so I’ve been told. Nevertheless, the structure of the industry within which I’m working does not make way for me. There’s too many candidates, too many conflicting interests, too much nepotism. With every rejection and setback I keep getting more frustrated and lose my patience for the “light touch”, “behind the curtains” work Angels are said to do. Maybe I’m one inch away from the breakthrough, but it still feels like six feet of dirt on my face. So I am once again thinking of reaching for the magickal equivalent of siege weaponry, and for that I reach out to you guys.
Please allow me to thank in advance all those that will read this post. I appreciate your time, and admire your insight and expertise. This forum welcomes people whose experience and knowledge of the occult fills me with awe. So thank you, because I feel that taking the liberty of writing this for your attention was in itself a powerful act of magick.
