If magick is real, why is it so obscure?

[Nickel77]

Hi! I've been in these spaces for a few months now, working with a few angels, demons, and sigils with some quite amazing results and some failures (sorta 50/50). I've had plenty of very revealing and supernatural tarot readings, channeled messages and general synchronicities. However, sometimes, especially when I'm having some failures, I still have some doubts and the biggest one is probably the title. Yes, I understand the nature of the occult is that it's occult. Yes, I am familiar with "To Know, To Will, To Dare, To Keep Silent" (love it). Yes, I am familiar with the fact that many religious and superstitious rituals are a form of magick. However, to believe and invest in the idea that I have this supernatural power that most people do not know of or use and that the people I meet in the forums like these are the only people who have really understood and refined this power feels hard to believe. Obviously, I am not trying to criticize any of you or your beliefs as I am one of you and probably share many of your beliefs, but this question still bothers me. I am hoping for some perspectives on this. would be really appreciated.

I think a vast majority of those who are most skilled in the magickal art aren’t on forums like these. They are probably members of generational royal/elite bloodlines who’ve been honing and passing down their practices for hundreds/thousands of years.
It isnt called “The Royal Arte” for nothing!
Until the dawn of the internet, they were really some of the only people with access to REAL occult knowledge and information. Them and occult orders or secret societies (which in the past especially were notoriously elitist).

Unfortunately back then and still today, there is a mountain of bad information out there for us “small folk” trying to learn the art. Much of it is likely bad info put out on purpose to throw seekers off. Then you have people claiming to be masters teaching absolute nonsense.

In other words, it’s a MESS! And one most people are not able to wade thru sufficiently in order to get proficient at magick. So many give up, being demoralized by the dizzying amount of information and not knowing what’s true.
