Work
Magick is not a quick fix, although it can be in certain circumstances.
While yes some Spirits and Ancestors move quickly, there are requests made through alchemical means that take time.
We must give the Spirits ample leverage through commitment, hard work, spiritual merit, and sacrifice.
One Deity of the Moon refuses to receive an offering of the same incense stick every time to get her to give the deepest access of her bounty. She demands sacrifice.
Taphthartharath of the Mercury Current agrees, stating that the astral world and spiritual planes seek out human beings with massive leverage in the form of willingness to go the distance with sacrifice. They view an individual like this as a rare gem of great value; some will fight over such a prize.
The work requires that we utilize our strengths to our advantage to give the Spirits leverage so they can move through pathways that we create for them.
Sometimes, it takes years to break through to experience a desired result; however, victory is sweet and lasting once achieved.
Patience is a crucial skill set to have and harness.
Patience saves us from instant gratification, which can hinder Magick from working in our favor.
Sometimes, we must do the identical Ritual repeatedly for a lengthy period to manifest our Vision.
Strategy and organization bring tangible results.
The more focused and clear your Magick is, the more exceptional the outcome.
A well-known celebrity is on record sharing her story of initiating with a famous witch by spending the entire night in a forest alone naked. Welcome to Fame Rituals.
A friend of mine traveled to Peru for her next level of initiatory practice: climb a snowy mountain peak and go through grueling, life-endangering ceremonies in a cave at the top.
The greater the prize at stake, the more resistance and interference the Magi must overcome.
There will be mistakes throughout this process – I have never met a Magician who has not made one or plenty and failed.
Failure is as critical as success because it breeds clarity, leading to becoming more effective, efficient, and focused with our time, energy, and money.
