I know that the title might sound like a joke but hear me out. I'm genuinely confused.
I'm really new at this so only recently started experimenting a bit after some months reading as much as I could in my free time, and I decided that the best way to test some practical magic would be one of Damon Brand's rituals, in particular the one described in Magical Cashbook which relies on binding and ordering the spirit Nitika. My logic was that since I would be able to see if I had more money or not after some time (the ritual must be repeated everyday until successful), it would be an ideal way of testing the waters so to speak. The result (Is it a result yet?) left me somewhat confused, however.
Let me explain:
I asked for a specific amount of money, 800, for a specific purpose (as suggested in the book) which in my case was helping in paying the deposit for a new rent, and followed the steps in the ritual religiously for three days. The second day I actually performed it twice as I wanted to be extra. Today is the fourth day, and it might have worked yesterday. Or not. You decide. Since I'm so new at this I genuinely have no point of reference, so I would really be thankful for your opinion.
What happened was that my partner came to me saying that we will be able to get a new car, but not pay a deposit in advance if we do it through a certain company. This was something that was known to him, or at least he suspected could happen, but not to me at the time, and despite the fact we will not need that car for a few months he decided to look into it now and tell me. So now I know that I will be able to save money in a deposit that is over those 800 I asked, but this is not really a change (since there are no news), just old information that came to me, for which I am now aware we will have more money than we thought.
So, my question is: Does the knowledge that I will be able to save money, knowledge I did not have previously, qualify as the ritual working, or should I keep nudging Nitika everyday with the ritual until I see more concrete results?
