First, "Wow, I'm actually doing this" experience?

[ZAXCY]

Im still very new at 16 months genuine study and practicing in the occult, and I have felt desire for flashy undeniable experiences but still have felt a few synconicities where it really strikes me, that this does work, this path is for me.

On my last birthday I decided to do my formal intiation ritual. I planned a very chaos magick appoch of finding what seemed resonant to me and so after planning the ritual I would go to the local graveyard at midnight with the residuel fear of my religous upbringing, I wondered if I was maybe going to mess myself up. With props and a pledged my self initiation into the path was started and after my banishing all the birds around at this time started wailing, among other syncronisitc happenning the following few days.

Just had me curious what other stories people might have where they thought, Wow im actually doing this and reality is responding to me?

Bless!

If you have kids under 18 years old. Do the LBRP while in the same room. And ask what they feel.

That's fascinating. What other synchronicities did you experience?

My first "wow this is happening" moment (shortly followed by "omg wtf lol") is a much more tame. I created a sigil with an intention to find a lemon in an unusual place. Yeah, lame, I know, but it was meant to be. I wanted something that would be easier to forget, something that wouldn't be overcome by the lust for results that might have occurred if I'd wanted to get it on with Zendaya or win the lottery. I got the idea about the lemon from this forum (or maybe Reddit, I don't recall).

The next day, my work colleague showed me some slides from a short PowerPoint presentation. It was for an overview of our organisation's Finance department for some work experience students, and she'd used AI to generate it. One slide had a list of Finance functions/outcomes/objectives (stuff like year end accounts, reconciliation, budgeting) with icons beside them (like abacuses, calculators, pound & dollar signs).

Beside "Prosperity & Growth" was an icon of a lemon.

I accept that this doesn't sound much like a "wow" moment. Nevertheless, a Finance presentation is one of the last places I'd expect to see a piece of fruit, so I chalked that up as a success and I've never looked back.

I'm looking forward to hearing what others have experienced.

My classic was I did a successful ritual to find a piece of lost property, and discovered later that Osama bin Laden had been killed at the same time as I found out that the property had been found (i.e. the magical act had completed)

When you engineer coincidences, other random coincidences can occur, like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond.

Synchronicity is randomised (intentionless) magic.
