Moloch's Simple Formula for Metaphysical Success

Step 1: Define your problem as exactly as you can - to know with precision what it is that hinders you is to understand the root cause and be able as a medical physician would treat the problem and not the symptom.

Step 2: Research the ways the problem can be solved - know the non-Magical ways as well as the various Magical ways the problem could be solved. This will help you in two ways:

a. By knowing the non-Magical ways, you gain the advantage of helping the Spirits (as well as yourself) to understand what resources are available. It is ignorance and stupidity on your part if you ass-u-me that all Spirits - including Celestial ones - are omniscient (all knowing) because I assure you, they are NOT! Give them information and the more information the better your chances of success.

b. By knowing the various Metaphysical ways, you also gain insight into various approaches. Summoning a Spirit may or may not be helpful. Why? Spirits cannot (nor should not) always interfere in your affairs even when you ask for help. For example, did your school teachers ever do your homework for you? No. They instructed you and did their best to implant the knowledge (& hopefully wisdom) into you BUT you still had to do your own homework. Ever made a mess at home? Your parents would explain on how to clean up the mess but guess what? You still had to do it on your own. Thus sometimes, it's a lesson best learnt by doing the work yourself.

And remember also that most Metaphysical answers can be solved in a variety of ways using affirmations & changing beliefs and/or simple spells such as candle rituals, making & carrying a talisman, using a Gris-Gris bag, prayer & chanting; or if necessary, using more complex steps such as creating a specific ritual that is tuned to a particular Celestial time or includes summoning a Non-Physial Entity (NPE).

Step 3: Perform a Series of Divinations - once you have the research in on what you can do, then do a series of Divinations (One is NOT enough to confirm anything!) to determine which method would work best. This means while it may human nature to always use the EASIEST method that may not be the best course of action. Consequently the typical Metaphysical Worker incorrectly believes s/he needs to use a complex ritual to plug into a 10 Mega Watt power source when a simple rite that plugs you into a 12 VDC battery would suffice. It's always from one extreme to the other.

My advice is to spend the time needed for learning to use a good method of Divination that you trust. I use several different types myself including Tarot, Runes, I Ching, Geomancy and Pendulum Dowsing. Very often if the problem is related to physical objects, I'll use Geomancy, Runes & Pendulum Dowsing to Divine. Why? All three are related to the earth - Geomancy is earth based; Runes use wood (or stone); Pendulums use constant physical touch; then I note the answers to each one as a way to confirm my hypothesis.

Step 4: Plan the Metaphysical Working - time it out as good as you can for the most auspicious moments you can gain.

Step 5: Perform Your Working - execute the spell/ritual/summoning or whatever it is and note this into your diary. Be detailed here. Why? Because you do NOT know ahead of time what piece of information will be important later on when you wish to review why what you did worked when a later operation does not seem to garner the same result. By knowing the details, you may discover it's something major or something simple.

Step 6: Patience & Persistence - this is the most difficult step of all for anyone to do. Why? People are impatient and for the most part are too lazy to be persistent. For those who are patient and persistent, success seems to come to them naturally. Ever known anyone who seems to get everything they want? I'd be willing to bet they're patient and persistent deep down.

Even working with Spirits, I've found that there's no shortcut for persistent effort. Yes I know, I know the tales of the great Internet MagicKians who summoned this Infernal or that Olympic Spirit one time and yadda-yadda-yadda. Well you nor I (nor them probably) understand the specifics clearly enough to make clear why their one time working got results and someone else has to do the same thing over and over and over until the working bears fruit.

If the Spiritual realms are direct reflection of our human world ('As below, so above' - the ignored last half of the often quoted verse 'As above, so below') then it stands to reason that to get we must first be willing to give of ourselves and then be patient but persistent.

Patient in the sense that you cannot expect overnight miracles but if they come, Woo Hoo! But realize that overnight miracles are NOT the norm. Fools think they are and only set themselves up for heartbreak down the road. When they hit that wall it usually destroys them as their faith wavers and they gnash their teeth while screaming to the heavens "Why me? WHY?"

Allow a reasonable amount of time for things to come to fruition. But if after a reasonable amount of time, then perform the ritual again and be patient again. It may take several attempts but you will get a response of some type.
