Soooo, I joined this site when I was about 14. I’m now 23. After years of being offline on this site and pursuing my practice separately, I’m very happy that I finally “get” how spells and manifestation work. And it takes a while to get it. It’s also very difficult to put the steps or the process into words, because while the info might be objective and fixated in a sense, taking them in requires a certain internal shift/subjective processing that takes a long time.
If you’re in this journey, just like everyone else I recommend reading as much as possible. Even if you don’t understand the info right away, just proceed reading them and it’ll finally make sense to you over time. Don’t try to force anything to happen. It’ll come when it’s time, as corny as that sounds!
Anyway after years of being away I felt like I had to express this, thanks to everyone who contributed to my journey when I joined this site, but many of you probably don’t remember me!
Congratulations! Of course like any journey there will still be many more "Ah-ha!" moments to be had as you learn more and find new dots to connect together.
The first while can indeed be an exercise in frustration as you pick up bits and pieces of Information with no real linchpin to hold them together. It took me several years and half a library's volume of books before I started connecting the common threads. It was a brilliant time when things finally came together, and it is definitely worth celebrating!
What I found most interesting was going back and re-reading those books I went through. They made -so- much more sense, and I had the chance to learn even more from them as I saw that same information in entirely new light. You should do the same if you haven't already. I recommend starting with the book you hated the most/had the most trouble understanding. It is a good sort of litmus test to see how much your perceptions and understandings have grown.
It’s good to see you Lark!!!
And I agree Spirit76, when I first joined this site people kept directing me to the “basics”, I didn’t know how long it’d actually take to finally understand the concept! I haven’t made the decision of wether I want to delve deeper into the occult than the basics, for now I’m quite happy with where I am with it and the changes it has brought to my world view and perspective.
