People still go down that rabbit hole. YouTube is full of those videos. @NeoFightTheNyophite
Oh Iâm not saying that a person should blindly start trusting their intuition without the background work on it first. But 4hmagm had previously said that ,so I took it for granted when answering you. My apologies. 
Here is a good way to know if your intuition is on point. Practice your divination on short term things in your life that you can easily verify. Doesnât matter what method but it should be something that gives clear answers. Nothing mystical. Once you have a track record of success, you can begin pointing that at suspected larpers to find out who is who and what is what. Then you know who you can safely ignore.
Over the time Iâve been on this forum Iâve noticed that anytime someone points out the shadow aspect of a magical question, they get pounced on.
It seems to be mostly noobs and dabblers who reveal their inexperience everytime they post. They came to magic to solve some type of problem ie, money, love, protection etc. They dont realize that type of magic is really the vast minority in what makes up a magicians path.
Im learning quickly to not give advice when asked for on this forum. The very same types of ppl seem to get upset when the experienced magicians only offer short answers, or direct them to do a search.
Though isnât this what the forum was created for? To help each other ascend through effort?
I understand what you mean, and Iâve felt this way also, but I was equally frustrated when I first began my journey. Demanding âthe whole thingâ and not just a brief explanation of a ritual. Wanting a complete step-by-step guide to meditation. Not being there for those people feels selfish to me, cause I was in their shoes once.
I like helping people when they ask for help. I sent a long time doing the trail and error thing and donât normally ask because the information usually pops up before I need it to.
However, me personally will not help people take others free will, I know what feels like to lose it and feel like a zombie.
Posting a question on this forum is asking for advice. Its kinda the nature of a forum. Often, at least here, you will get angry responses if what you give is remotely akin to shadow work. So, unless someone specifically asks for shadow advice, iâll not give it, even if its related.
I agree with @Bjorn.
I am 100% for helping people, as I live by the notion to help anyone in need, but I.Donât.Have.Energy for pity parties.
Feeling sorry for weak people is not in my nature, I hate it, Iâd rather want everyone to become stronger.
I help people to get stronger, but I need to really restrict my own responses when my patience runs out.
Really, there is no point entertaining the weak or the incompetent, it only keeps feeding their delusions.
I like this one best
You could let the forum itself be your mentor for free. There is this easy to use skrying tool. 
you can use it as a divination to always find the most useful posts. The forum has an energy of its own. Treat it well and be rewarded.
Never said anything about feeling sorry for them.
And I also never said I would become their personal information source just because I want to help. goddammit peopleâŚ
I was replying to Bjorn, regarding answering people here.
A lot of the questions here I am either unqualified to reply or they are questions that could simply be searched for.
Then occasionally there are âquestionsâ that usually is just a pity partyâŚand oh boy, I have no sympathy towards those.
No matter who you were replying to⌠I came clean.
Well of course youâre right about those.
Did you just reveal your secret fantasy?
Agreed. Until I meet a magician who can summon the 69th gatekeeper, Iâm good on the fanfic.
Btw people CAN post fiction etc so long as itâs clearly marked as such⌠even fanfic about demons, though please, NOT about your fellow forum members, thatâs just icky. 
Well, @Lady_Eva, it wouldnât be a problem if you hadnât leaked those nudes of yours ![]()
(Itâs a joke, people. Please donât go searching for nudes of Eva lol)
Yikes, donât tell people about that, I thought we agreed?! ![]()
Next youâll be letting novices know about the secret pee-bathing trick. ![]()
Whoops, my bad. Youâre right. Iâve broken my oath. I should get a spanking 
Oh HELL NAH. I was just trying to make a joke Zohak ,come on man⌠I look up to you. ![]()
