When nothing works for a neophyte

[fluffy]

I feel like I need a mentor but haven’t found anyone local yet

Here's a nice succinct guide with pretty pictures. It's about meditation but that leads naturally to magic, sorta tangentially.

It helps if you have lots of free time and no urgent concerns. Think of it as your own personal research project. You will be shown something strange and interesting. Then you dive deeper into it.

Eu gosto de começar com magia mais simples e fácil, como feitiços básicos de bruxaria, Hoodoo e similares. São como flexões; são pequenos passos fáceis que te preparam para levantar pesos maiores, ou podem ser feitos isoladamente e você ainda assim ficará mais forte.

Pessoalmente, eu começaria com conteúdo mais fácil.

I STARTED AFTER 3 YEARS

Greetings
I've been practicing magick from GOM books but to avail, not attacking the GOM , some people told me that the problem is not with me but rather with GOM books since they lack any mention to energy work , some said I'm not meant to practice magico etc.... If you were in my shoes what would you do ? Thanks in advance for your time .

I would meditate and just sit with yourself a while. There are different paths to explore.

Then, what is an easy meditation technique that delivers quick results?

I am also quite new, though have had tremendous success so far. Start small to start training your conciousness that this works.

My first two spells were to see an IRL green butterfly and to receive a free meatlovers pizza, both took approximately 6 weeks, around a month I was disappointed that my spells didn’t work, then one day I was reversing out of my driveway and a green butterfly crossed my path, the pizza was similar in it came when I had stopped looking for the result.

Also start meditating even if its only for 5 minutes, and I find being mindful and present really helps with energy work.

I just started working with GOM 72 Angels of Magick, today is day 6 in the ritual and while no results from this as of yet I am confident it will be a success and belief in it I believe is the crux.

I spent the last 13 years prior to learning about magick focusing on conciousness studies, manifestation, new thought, meditation, mindfulness, parts work, philosophy, psychology etc, so my fast results with being Neophyte could stem from my conciousness being primed.

Stick with it and again start with small, mundane, things you wouldn't necessarily care too much about. This does work.

Not every system works for every person.
If GOM is not working for you, perhaps it is either time to try a different system, or do an analysis on what works versus what didn't?

A lot of people start their journey with something like Wicca, but also discover that it doesn't work for all cases (ie: love and light only goes so far). But if you are neurospicy, then ceremonial magic may not work because it requires A) planning and B) Execution and Ritual. There are a lot of resources.

I'd recomend starting with the following navel gazing:
1) what do I want to get out of this?
2) how much effort am I willing to put in realistically? (ie: i have 10 minutes per day for meditations, not 4 hours for ritual)
3) are there any moral quandries that might be holding me back? (ie: if uncomfortable with commanding other entities, then perhaps you don't wanna go down the Demonolatry rabbithole).

This will at least help you narrow down your scope.
There are so many options for places to start. And perhaps it is just a matter of belief and exercising your work in simpler ways!
