What real results have you achieved with magic?

[Sunnylil]

This question probably won’t get many answers, since many people prefer not to make the results of their magical work public. But maybe not everyone follows that rule.

I’d love to hear about your experiences: what real, tangible results have you achieved in the material world through magic? Not psychological or astral effects, but things you could clearly track — something where you could honestly say, “without magic, I most likely wouldn’t have gotten the same result.”
Also, which system did you work with?

This question was inspired by someone I know in real life. He had male infertility, confirmed by doctors and medical tests. For three years, he constantly for many hours a day read the Book of Psalms as part of a Christian magical practice, and as a result, his test results somehow changed — now he has three children. Doctors say it’s impossible.

It would be really interesting to hear your real stories, even without too many details — whether there was a result, and within which system or “egregore” you were working.
Was the price too high, or are you happy with it?

Money (jobs), customs + immigration, sourcing rare items.

Pretty much all mundane/low-magick/material.

 

[Robert Ramsay]

jobs, lost objects, basically anything where I was "lucky on purpose"

Job. Money.

Doctors say it’s impossible.

Male fertility is hardly irreversible, so your example is not very solid.

By far, my main interest in the occult has to do with extreme transcendental aspirations, but despite that I have attracted money, relationships, and other things of some significance- and these things often manifested for me with little or no mundane effort (which itself is good for one's evidential hoard).

I don’t know — it’s not my story, and I’m not praising myself. I just know this person in real life, and it’s his story; he likes to say that doctors were shocked.

From my side, of course, I’d like to think that even nowadays such extraordinary cases are possible. But, I repeat, since it’s not my story and I haven’t thoroughly reviewed the medical documents, I won’t claim anything with 100% certainty.

The only thing I do know for sure is that he and his wife couldn’t conceive a child for several years and now they have three children.

The sorcerer's usual: getting laid, paid, and getting even, including protection from world-class psychopaths in the entertainment and tech industries. (All the best things in life, to hear the lamentation of their women.) Aside from defeating the usual orcs, Balrog, and Nazgul as a general in the corporate armies of the undead, I removed a high-power predatory executive in an industry where corporate executives form an untouchable class of modern-day royalty. A woman, btw. Dark Triad personalities are found among all groups. To Hell with them all.

The spiritual elevation was a side effect. Fucking demons. You come for the magic and wondrous experiences and you get shit burned off your soul. Assholes.

Rock on with the psalms, btw. I used one to get get my very guilty-as-sin speeding tickets dismissed or lost in the L.A. court system, a city notorious for grinding every last dollar of blood money out of the working class, and giving nothing in return.

Not my biggest success but here’s a story for you.

So thru my practice I had come across shadow people (or whatever you wish to call them). Using what I knew (a solomonic template mixed with some chaote ingenuity) I came up with a method to work with them using a contract (what success looked like, payment, protection from the entity afterwards, etc…)

Now I was younger and more career minded back then and I found that I could use these entities to influence people’s decisions. I couldn’t reliably make a person whose entire life/personality was centered on their job, burn their career to the ground for my betterment. But I could reliably make them make less than optimum or even somewhat negative decisions for themselves that benefited me.

So there was a particular staff assignment meeting coming up with a number of the type of assignments that could really be used to base a career on. And I intended to cherry pick the ones I wanted. So I entered into a contract with one of these entities who just seemed more aggressive than the others.

So I’m in this meeting, and everything is going my way. Everything I want is just falling in my lap and I’m just sitting back enjoying the show. Then I really start noticing a presence/magical pressure was building in the room, then something moved across my peripheral vision, and I noticed a smudge on my glasses. I took them off to clean them using the sweater I was wearing over my dress shirt. And as I turned them over I noticed it wasn’t a smudge it was the word “fee” on the outside of one of my lenses which is the same term I had used in the contract. Obviously the entity felt the contract was fulfilled and wanted payment I disagreed until we received the official staffing notices.

After that I started including communication methods and payment timeframes in the contracts as well.

Was it worth it? Yes. Was it an unsettling learning experience? Absolutely.
