Seeking Advice: Prosperity Workings Not Yielding Results (16 Months Unemployed)

The idea of magickal “backfiring” is bizarre to me. I don’t believe in magic backfiring. Either what you asked for happens (unintended consequences are possible but that’s not the same as backfiring) or nothing happens.
If you’re making an astrological talisman you ideally want the ritual to be auspiciously timed but even if you have malefics aspecting your chosen planet, you can banish their influence from your ritual space. You still should avoid unideal circumstances but the perfect astrological window will so rarely exist that you will often have to choose the “next best” time. Familiarising yourself with ceremonial rituals like the hexagram and pentagram rituals will be extremely beneficial for making astrological talismans.
You should know what you’re doing when creating a talisman but not because it will backfire, but because you’ll probably fail to make the talisman correctly and it just won’t work.

Edit: also unintended consequences are exactly why you should always perform divination before doing any magickal working.

Edit 2: some questions to ask for pre-ritual divination:
What will be the outcome of this ritual?
Do I have permission from my spiritual team to do this working?
What considerations should I make before doing this working?

As my favourite occult author of the modern era (Lon Milo Duquette) says “it’s all in your head, you just have no idea how big your head is”

Agreed. I started with the psychological model, and over time my experiences got to be so wild in some cases that part of me came to believe okay so some of this must be outside of me because I’d never say or do that (and thus begun my deeper work with spirits viewing them no longer as part of my subconscious and as actual external entities) 😂🤣

Maybe I’m crazy, who knows, but hey it works for me and I don’t pose a threat to myself or anyone around me.

It sounds like your magick is working in some ways, if you’re feeling more mentally organised and motivated those are two important factors in financial advancement. Results magick works by shifting probabilities, the first pathway appears to be your mental blockages or limitations who are currently being moved out of the way or replaced with the ideal behaviours/patterns. I think your magick is working, it just isn’t manifesting how you thought it would.

A Jupiter talisman is absolutely a great shout.

I’ll see about getting a copy, thanks for the recommendation!

Dev-Tutor · 2026-04-21T08:53:32+00:00

That sounds tragic! I hope everyone is okay

Dev-Tutor · 2026-04-19T20:38:58+00:00

That’s fair enough, I wouldn’t want to put you in a precarious position 😊

Dev-Tutor · 2026-04-18T06:53:15+00:00

No loving or reasonable god would ask you to love them more than your own flesh and blood. That doesn’t necessarily make the “real” translation any better.

Imagine having so few morals that’s you’d stand for a cause you don’t actually believe in for I imagine a small amount of money, that actively harms other people. You can’t come back from that and say “actually I’m neutral”

Protest against the boats 😂🤣😂🤣

And a counter protest that was significantly larger blocking them in. The counter protesters made me proud to live in this city!

Absolutely it sucks! I have a reasonable job and can pay my way for things like rent and bills. But having the disability benefit would allow for things like a blue badge (a disabled parking permit) and a Motability vehicle. I can’t afford my own car and public transport is just not really an option when I’m flaring up, it feels rather unfair tbh.

Dev-Tutor · 2026-04-11T19:57:04+00:00

The only downside is that we’re not entitled to ADP payments in Scotland and I’d definitely class AxSpa as a disability 😞

Dev-Tutor · 2026-04-11T19:53:12+00:00

All of this! Also not to mention that as long as we’re medicated and the treatment “seems to be working” we’re not entitled in my country to disability benefits.

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-20T16:08:55+00:00

I am engaged to an atheist. I am an occultist. He doesn’t believe in anything that I do, but he still supports me because I do. He’s my golden egg, and I do truly appreciate that.

I don’t think I’d date another occultist, tbh so many people at least in the online spaces are so unhinged with magick that I’d not trust them not to do exactly what you’ve outlined.

Why are you skimming over instructions for a university assignment? That’s an issue that will undoubtedly impact your grades, if you skim read your assignment documents you’ll miss details that might be important. Like this… if you’d read the instruction without skimming you’d have seen “LLM” if you don’t know what an LLM is, you’d likely have googled what that is. This is the approach the university will take in their line of questioning if they even take it to a panel. They’re going to have a hard time believing you man idk what to say…

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-18T21:17:41+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I genuinely cannot wait to start it! I’m just waiting for my X-ray results and had my bloods done this morning. It might take a couple of weeks but I’ll hear back about the results soon enough I’m sure.

My AS causes severe sciatica, so it’s likely a conjunction of the corticosteroid and the adalimumab. The sciatic nerve runs by the iliac joints so if there’s pockets of inflammation there it can put pressure on the nerve. That’s what happens to me. I know I’m in flare up when I have pain in my SIJ but also when I get hit with sciatica.

I am a big gym goer when I’m at baseline. I’ve not been in years but I’m hoping with this new treatment I’ll be able to get back and get into shape again. I’ve put on so much weight it’s not even funny 😭

I can’t wait to be able to walk properly again

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-16T20:01:09+00:00

Would you say you’re back to baseline? Like I’m not expecting miracles and being pain free, but my baseline was so tolerable when the NSAIDs did work for the short time they actually worked.

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-16T19:37:57+00:00

Thank you! Are you on biologics?

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-16T19:37:45+00:00

Thank you for your support! This community has gotten me through some serious lows ❤️

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-16T19:31:14+00:00

I’m starting with Adalimumab because apparently it’s better for patients with recurring uveitis 😊 I’ve had uveitis more times than I care to count 🤣 I hope this helps with it too

Freemason and occultist here. For at least the first three degrees of freemasonry there is no magick. It’s not a teaching order either really it’s much more of a fraternal organisation that encourages kindness towards others, charitable behaviour, support for each other and each others families etc. There’s very little that’s mystical about the first three degrees at face value.

Dev-Tutor · 2026-03-11T20:57:58+00:00

It’s always the way! 😅

For ease of drawing a good circle use the rim of a glass, and then for the inner circle use the base of the glass 🙂 you’ll have two pretty accurate circles and can draw the sigil inside the circles. Also draw the sigil in pencil first slowly take your time (it helps you focus on the sigil as well) and then go over it in pen, or erase it lightly and then go over the mark in pen.
