[Help] Advice for a neophyte

[azazel6672]

Hi, I'm a newbie to the world of magic. While I have been interested in the occult for a long time since my early adulthood, it is only now that I have started to really explore it from the perspective of a practitioner. I have researched various magical ways like Wicca, traditional witchcraft, hermeticism, golden dawn etc, but not an expert on any of those. I am also deeply drawn to astrology as well. While I am very much interested in the Hermetic Corpus, I have chosen to follow the path laid out by Jason Miller. I have started with his book on Financial Sorcery, and plan to integrate magical workings along side the mundane actions or path I undertake in my daily life. That said, I would appreciate a bit of guidance from the esteemed members of this forum. I have decided to start with planetary magic with regards to some visa/approval related stuff which is also connected with the firm I am working at, and am a bit undecided on the proper way to kickstart this. There is a major unseen blocking force which I feel is obstructing my path for a long time now.

Any help or advice would be much welcome.

If anyone suggests any alternative way other than planetary magic which would be effective for endeavors like these, that would also be much welcome.

For planetary magic I recommend Christopher Warnick at Renaissance Astrology. You can also try practicing from the Picatrix or Ars Paulina. There are also the Olympian spirits and the 44 Planetary Spirits with Solomonic Magic. I find Ars Paulina and the Olympians easier to work with. You can make sigils on parchment paper or leather to begin with. I wouldn't buy any premade materials until you figure out which system you like the best.

If you are go on Patreon, The Esoteric Magick Shop works with a unique planetary magick which I find simple to work with.

I see, thank you for your inputs. Let me try the Olympian spirits and see how they suit me. Can I create the talisman by just using pen and paper?
