@Verdo try to cut back on the fapping and media op. it certainly helps.
as someone who just came back into Magick after a long hiatus , your Magick can fail for any reason and further more you may have acquired more than you think via Magick. a lot of times things will come to you when you least expect it ( more so proving the lust for results really does kill your workings).
you probably are doing one of the following
still thinking about your ritual/results
doubting your abilities , mindset is everything , your subconscious is your link to the spirt/astral world
not raising enough energy and doing preparatory immersion
your senses arenât developed enough and you canât communicate with spirits yet
Did your rituals have a time limit on them? If not, maybe itâs best to think of them not as failures but as slow-burning. Tuck them away in the back of your mind; they might come to fruition when you least expect it. The only 100% guaranteed âfailuresâ Iâve had in magic are those rituals where I asked for something in an extremely tight timeframe.
Break down a goal into several smaller goals. Cast rituals for each small goal, so that everything coalesces into one outcome. If you have found a system or pantheon which works, stick with it and explore it.
Also, consider casting multiple rituals:
For outcomes which are certain,
For outcomes which are likely,
For outcomes which are unlikely,
For outcomes which are improbable.
Paint in broad strokes and then fill in the details.
Generally because those results are easier to measure. Like waking up one day and realising youâve been sleeping well for two weeks and thereâs no insomnia in sight. It mightnât be that you arenât getting âtangibleâ results at all; more that itâs difficult to measure things like your influence over another person. And you never know whatâs happening behind the scenes, which is why you shouldnât necessarily write off rituals youâve performed. Like, maybe four months ago, if youâd asked me about the outcome of a certain ritual, Iâd have said it was a complete failure⊠because it took six months to start bearing fruit.
i wouldnât say its an absolute fact, but sometimes i hear that it can affect people. i asked EA once and he said it doesnât make much difference so i dont know
The things that I did magick for were literally just about to happen but there was a constant barrier in the âreal worldâ that couldnât be broken so I thought magick will be able to do it. But I always accompanied my magick with being active with my actions in the world. I didnât just sit around waiting for the magick to solve the problem, I tried grasping the problem with both the ritual and real world action.
still thinking about your ritual/results - I try not to and I donât have lust for result, but naturally I do want the result subconsciously very much but I do not lust.
doubting your abilities , mindset is everything , your subconscious is your link to the spirt/astral world - No
not raising enough energy and doing preparatory immersion Hm, what would preparatory immersion be like?I do some things but what do you recommend?
your senses arenât developed enough and you canât communicate with spirits yet I can sense the spirits, angels do leave me sings but usually without delivering the resultsâŠ
For example drinking water from a wolfâs footprint during a full moon could give you the ability to shapeshift into a wolf during your rituals. Iâm not saying you have to do this in order to shapeshift into a wolf but going through the hassle of finding and drinking from a wolfâs footprint during a full moon could create a change within your psyche that would make this possible. For me going through the 'hassle" of such things is preparatory immersion. Once Iâve gone through the hassle of gathering the supplies needed for the thing I want to accomplish in a ritual I feel a sense of relief and everything seems to work out the way I want it to because I worked towards the end I wanted to achieve. This sense of relief makes it easier for me to sharpen my focus during a ritual because in my head I already worked my ass off to get the results I deserve.
Think about this. Instead of raising energy you could spend a day draining people of their life force and you can use that energy as an offering during your ritual. Perhaps the act of transferring the energy into the medium youâre scrying into will cause the spirit youâre evoking to appear. Or you could use this energy to supercharge a sigil and place this sigil under your pillow with the intent that this spirit will visit you in your dreams. Maybe theyâll pull you out of body and it becomes an extremely lucid face to face interaction. Thereâs many things you can do.
I find the opposite works for me. I know the magic is going to work so I sit back expectantly and let it happen. There have been times in the past where Iâve tried to speed things up in the outer world by pushing for the result to happen and it usually only results in things crumbling before my very eyes.
Might not work for everyone, and I understand itâs not necessarily always workable advice (to do precisely nothing in furtherance of your goal) depending on the situation, but it works best for me.
Want is the key word here â you canât want what you already have. You can appreciate it, love it, be grateful for it, etc., but you canât feel the lack of it. For instance, I donât get into my car every morning thinking âOh man I really want a car. My life will be complete once I have a car. I wonder how long until I get my car? My car is on its way to me nowâ â it wouldnât make sense to want the thing I already have.
Generally there are no shortcuts to getting around it when youâre starting out and casting rituals for something you desire greatly. But it becomes easier with time. Or you can check out the below threads:
Thereâs an angel that is said to help with lust of results but I canât recall who off hand. I think I posted about it in the lounge tmw when I found it thoâŠ
