I underestimated Magick a year ago, and it completely backfired on me. Almost destroyed me but forced me to rise from the Ashes

Your video with Damien was the best thing I've watched in forever. Subbed

[williammillard]

I’m 75, did a lot of acid in the 60’s and sincerely wish that someone like Jason had been around when I was 19.

[LotusJewelz]

This is good stuff, thank you. You and Damien Echols are my favorite lately for this genre.

[moonman]

Love this balanced approach. So important to have a purpose to even engage in magick to begin with

[Vadios_Davoid]

Great as always. I also HIGHLY recommend understanding what Naive Realism is and how to recognise it and not get trapped in it.

I am so happy to see this video. Very well said <3

For me when magick has gone wrong it is when I have been caught up with an idea and it becomes larger and larger. When it is now creating a perception based off something more internal. Wanting to feel powerful or in control etc.

Always clarify, "with harm to none" when doing ALL spells, even on intentions you assume wouldn't harm anyone. I did a money spell and my grandpa died a week later and left me 10k in his will. I feel like I killed my grandpa now and the guilt has destroyed me. I regret not saying this when doing the spell. I never forget to say this now and nobody has gotten hurt since. Unless it's one HECK of a coincidence that he died a week after casting the spell...Idk what to think but definitely say this when doing spells yall(unless you intend harm, and if that's the case be VERY specific how you wish them harm..for an animal ab*ser for example, I wished him jail time and to bind him from doing anymore harm against animals and to speed up karmic backlash on him to a deity and he was arrested 2 months later.)

I vaguely remember reading something by Crowley (in Liber Aleph, IIRC), where he recommends studying mathematics as a prerequisite for practicing magick - I very much agree. Studying mathematics (which, I want to emphasize, means doing practice problems and writing proofs, not just reading and watching youtube videos!) is one of the best ways to develop the ability to think rationally and methodically. And once you have a basic understanding of symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics, you can develop a nuanced understanding of the inherit limitations of abstract symbolic logic, e.g. Godel's incompleteness theorem, Turing's work on non-computability, etc. On a personal level, I think I was able to avoid a lot of the pitfalls you discuss because I did a phd in applied math and started a career as a professional scientist before I started seriously practicing magick. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that everyone who wants to practice magick needs to have formal mathematical/scientific training, but studying math in some capacity (it's easier than ever given the plethora of free online resources) can be very helpful.

On a final note, thanks for including the bit at the end, I've had that exact experience - my life completely fell apart, brutally and painfully, only to reassemble itself into something better than I thought possible, and much more in line with my true self. I think this component of initiation should be emphasized more, since it seems fairly universal, at least in some traditions. (Thelema in particular, which is the primary tradition I'm trained in). It turns out that magickal oaths really are binding, lol, and if you ask the universe to guide you to your True Will, it's more than happy to oblige by beating the shit out of you and blowing up your life if you need a course-correction. It's painful, frightening, and not for the faint of heart, but ultimately worth it, in my experience. Also, I suspect I could have avoided a lot of the pain had I listened to my teachers, and made a more deliberate effort to confront and resolve my internal blockages and complexes through therapy, rather than just cranking up the magickal juice and forcing those confrontations to play out in my life. There's a good reason why every magick teacher worth their salt emphasized this, and I commend you for doing so. It must be frustrating that no one listens to that part 😉

Magic, like so many other things, adheres to the GIGO rule: garbage in, garbage out. I’ve seen practitioners hollowed out by their own practice. I myself have had magic go “wrong“ even though I got the exact results I was going for. In that particular case, I was working at Yul while enraged, with blackthorn wand and black obsidian ball (that was a matter of working from instinct; it didn’t occur to me until well after the fact that I was effectively personifying the Yul King with orb and scepter), and finished off my working with the words “and I don’t care what it takes.“ the results, as I said, were exactly as specified. The collateral damage involved was extravagant.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

Magick and drugs has me suffering. You're right.

[genghisgalahad]

The effects are mostly on point and they have a point that I appreciate from the get-go!! Although I realize the admonitions are because of the keen attention to your delivery! So kudos? 🎉

[DaRealDaveYost]

Awesome video bro. I definitely grew from the video n subscribed. Looking forward to more videos and different perspectives.

[alxccsndr]

i see that some folks are saying to turn down the side effects, which i agree with for the loud ones like the slamming door, but i do enjoy the silly side of the editing and appreciate the levity. just sharing an opinion 😎

[MagpieOnTheMoon]

Excellent content.... really glad I took the time to watch. Thanks!

[marshalmcdonald]

The thing I've noticed about many 'magic' types is their overall dissipation. They seem to live in a parallel world that they don't notice isn't working. They double down on their very thin belief system and, to my eye, further devolve into something that just doesn't add up.

[Yukiabiannightmare]

My curses involve people constantly losing their remote

[panninggazz]

what a strange been around since the early '70s....you are refreshing thank you

[sleepprncess-tvnb]

Love the effects 😁🙌🏻 Imo it gives personality and a sense of unpretentiousness to the video. Grateful for the content you put out

Magick is way more simple than this. I'd say, being logical is not good for results and successful magick. Those people tend to face more self doubt, did I do it how they said, do I have the correct correspondences and did the vibration of my voice feel right, etc. I believe what he may be mentioning is, being more logical towards the outcome... This I actually can agree on. During the performance of Magick you should be in that present moment, carefree, and feeling a lot of energy. By the end of it you should be tired, do something weird or normal immediately after. ( Run out the house and go for a walk... Call someone and start talking about something and go get an errand done. You could go make a sandwich...). My point is to do something that will get you out of the feeling that Magick gives you. "Set it and forget it".
