Maybe you want too much.
Maybe you should wish, but then you don't communicate what you want; you'll communicate your underlying reason/intention which is probably not what you wish.
"Wanting versus wishing" implies the fact that you live (by) what you invoke. A literal grip on the thing you are trying to control.
Wishing versus "just doing because it's in your vocabulary/innate rituals/habits" helps you project. Your projection is the projectile of your catapult that is the spell/enchantment/etc.

Edit: this means you probably just need to keep your philosophy and ethics close, don't focus on labels/rituals and try to make yourself fit them / put yourself in them. They are not the magic. The magic is when they are part of you and you use their internal representation/meaning/value to project.

Guys how do u get the things i do to actually work. I swear to god every spell jar/pétition/etc has done jack shit. What do we think I’m doing wrong?

That looks like you are asking US to get YOUR things to work .

I would suggest speaking clear and intentionally and making sure your words are an actual formula of what you are trying to communicate and achieve - otherwise 'spirits' will get confused ... and probably ignore you .

If your friend wants to initiate you it can be seen as a spirit validation 😉

Exactly. It's up to the spirits of the system to decide who to initiate and who not to initiate.
Post automatically merged:

I should have added to that last sentence that whether or not the spirits of the system decide to initiate or reject you won't be based on something as superficial as skin color. They are the ultimate gatekeepers of the system, so it's up to them to decide if you are a good fit.

Magic is the ultimate meritocracy.
