any tips?
mfg if your going to a bitch about it DONT answer
Focusing intent is only one of many important aspects. One must have a certain level of spiritual awareness to succeed with certain things. I would suggest more meditation in a natural environment (woods) where you can meditate on all of the connections there, both physical and spiritual. There are many ways to become more spiritually aware. Try looking up some techniques on go ogle.
Well, it depends on what what you were trying to accomplish with the magic work, whether or not it was realistic. Was your magic work aligned with your True Will?
Also, what system of magic are you using? Folk magic is going to be done differently than Ceremonial magic, for example.
Focusing on your Will [or intent] is actually the most important aspect. Think of the last time you really wanted something. To set a record for yourself, to change, to get something you thought was perhaps out of your reach. Remember the frame of mind you were in. The determination, the total concentration on that one goal, every fiber, every cell moving forwards to grasp it. THE WILL TO SUCCEED. Changing reality to conform to your Will. This is what magic is.
Using magic is an integral part of being human. You use it like you use your hands or any other part of your body. It's just that you have been taught to feel you need the trappings when all that is truly needed is Will.
You can't expect EVERY spell you cast to be 100% successful ALL the time!
1) You could have not focused as well with the other three
2) You could have begun feeling ill
3) You could have expended all your energy on the first two
4) They could have worked, but you just didn't notice
5) You could have been intoxicated (not saying you were, but this CAN lead to poor spell success as much as the above)
6) You had unrealistic expectations for the spell
There are hundreds of reasons why some spells work and some don't. I've been practicing for almost 10 years and not all of my spells work. When that happens I look back and see what went wrong, then sometimes I try again, and other times I figured it wasn't worth it.
Try looking back and determining what went wrong, or wait a few days before trying again.
