G.D. magician and generally cool dude Farrell, and a lot of magicians, hate the Law of Attraction.
Hell, I hate Law of Attraction, but found Neville's Law of Assumption work great, but I did whole bunch of growing before it could work.
I sucked at Chaos magic sigils - and for many years pretty much sucked at everything magical except for evocation of daimons and brujera (my hougan called me a 'materializing medium' which confused me originally.)
I was so terrible at chaos magic sigils that tried for years to get to work and got nothing that wasn't above mere chance. It was depressing. I was a normie magically. Gawain 'Creative Visualization' - all of it. I was just a shitty magician who could only call in the daimonic calvary to help. But over time that all chaged. I grew into a more integrated person through Western magic, the daimons teaching and changing me, and Catholic theosis. So many yeas later when I leanred about Neville it all clicked all in an instant and it worked! Still does, shocking me all the time.
But that personal integration and growing, the HGA, etc, - the specific path I assume is pretty flexible, and can happen without much of the of esoteric language and symbolic systems - how much of that is actually required here up front, when one is very young and starting out.
Why some magicans hate it makes me wonder why? I keep hearing it. Like the Kybalion (ugh) s all this is. I get the dumbed down langagage isterrible, but also WTF?
