I agree with most of that…as it doesn’t really contradict my point of view. Never said you can’t improve yourself in other areas to assist your magickal workings. I simply don’t believe that it’s a prerequisite for Magick to bring about what you asked for…and the reason I don’t believe it is because Magick has told me not to believe it by setting “judicial presidences.”
Case law one, Verdo vs. Single mom Here, I essentially acquired $4000 USD from basically out of no where. It came from a woman I never even met in person, who had other mouths to feed. My question for you is…what did I do to earn that? Did I cut someone’s lawn? Did I sell a product? Did I help someone solve a problem? I can tell you straight up that I did nothing to deserve that cash. Didn’t even have a job at the time. I asked for a free lunch, and I got it.
Case law two, Giliman09 vs school crush. A girl whom had already deemed the magician as sexually undesirable…flipped on a dime, from having zero interest, to banging him a week or two later. Now my question for you is this…what did he do to deserve that? Did he grow six pack abs and a chiseled chest in a matter of days? Did he magickally pick up PUA game so strong that in a few days, without even talking to her, she picked up on how suddenly suave he was across the ether that she now felt compelled to start harassing her friends about the guy at 2am in the morning? All unlikely, I would say. He asked for a free lunch, and he got one
Case law three, Oceania vs Best friend. So here’s a story where a woman not only friendzones the magician…she explicitly stated that he wasn’t her type. After doing a spell, two months later the girl is his. Now my question for you is this…what did he do to deserve that woman? Did he somehow acquire such an amazing personality, that in two months she magically saw something in him that she somehow didn’t see after 5 whole years of being his friend? Is there any indication that he got shredded in a two month timeframe and that sealed the deal for him? Last I checked, you get 1, maybe 2 pounds of muscle per month if you’re lucky and incredibly disciplined…but certainly nothing that would appear under a shirt. Now he did regret doing the spell, but he’s the one who called it quits, not her. He held on to her for 3 years, and probably could’ve kept her for many more if he wanted to. Again, I see a case of someone asking for a free lunch, then getting it.
These are just a few examples of what I’m talking about (and I’ve encountered many more) in order to make my point. Magick sets the presidence, and I readjust the limitations I place upon Magick accordingly. So my response to your suggestions of assisting Magick in the mundane world is, “Recommended, but unnecessary.” As I do or don’t do for baneful Magick, so too then do I do and not do for everything else
