The magician is obliged to give joy and relieve the person in one way or another. Even by saying, "Look, this relationship is over", he or she still helps him or her. The person will be hurt, he or she will cry, suffer but at some point the person will get over it and will continue his or her normal course of life. The same is true when the magician tells the person that the relationship with the beloved one will recover in the future. The magician is obliged to "programme" you to expect better things in the future. This is the practical side of magic.
The "I want - I can - I must" principles
In order for a spell to be successful, these three laws must be present. For example, I want to marry someone - it's entirely possible and I must marry to have a family and children. What I mean is that we should abandon utopias and live a better life.
But the most important part of the magic is more mysterious. Everything around us - people and objects, they do not really exist. Everything and everyone are forms of energy. The objects are the product of our mind. We can touch and feel them because the only tool that we have to touch this energy is our five senses. If we had more, we could probably do other things like passing through walls or something. Everything that exists around us, planets, space, it has been all created by our mind. But nothing of this exists in fact. Everything is energy.
According to quantum mechanics, small concentrations create us - our bodies. Smaller ones create something small, larger ones - something bigger. Every form of energy has its mission. The first thing it must do is try to survive. The embryo that is created from the union of sperm and ovum wants to live. So, people develop medicine to live longer. The second thing is to reproduce, to create an offspring to exist. The third is to make its offspring better than it is. Therefore, when concentrated energy creates a body it is trying to preserve it. So, when the body dies, because there is a limit to life the span of which is inreasing over the years since the form itself is trying to survive, the energy does not scatter but it seeks to preserve itself. Time does not exist anywhere anyway. So, it is very likely that ghosts actually exist.
One thing is certain: the form, as an observer, can affect the matter. And because the matter is a single frequency, the form can interfere with its own positive or negative frequency. For example, if you think about something in a negative way, we give the energy a sign for it not to happen. I.e. we influence the matter. If you think positive, it will happen at all costs. There is only one way to reduce the probability of that desire not happening: the spell, the magical intervention. It is because it helps our foolish mind to think positively. So, any spell that is done to make money, be successful in work and the like is a way to make your mind send a powerful energy wave.
A large group of people who have the same goal can influence a larger area. For example, the weather is always rainy on Good Friday. This happens because the souls of the people here are still unconsciously being grieved somehow, because of the sufferings of Christ, and they emit this grief without realizing it. Years ago, the crime rate in New York was very high – it was over 20%. Then, they conducted an experiment: They gathered around 2-3,000 people in Central Park who expressed in their thoughts their desire for the crime rate to drop. During this particular week, the crime rate dcreased by 11%. In their statements, the police chief said that this had only happened before when there was a metre of snow and the criminals could not operate due to "technical" difficulties. Therefore,
Everything is in our mind
Magic is a way to turn the negative into positive, to reduce fear and increase desire. That's the whole secret.
Even I, who know the mechanism after dealing with these issues for so many years, make my spells. It is just because my subconscious does not understand explanations. It is susceptible only to smells of magical filters, ceremonies such as spells and pictures like these from Deste cards and dreams. I can talk to it only through them. And when I find the right balance, I can achieve whatever I want as long as I apply the three principles "I want –I can – I must".
Katina from "The Witches of Smyrna" applied the things I have just explained in practice. The result was the same. Katina, however, was not able to know about quantum mechanics. However, she was doing what she should. She was a very balanced person and knew that if you fail to "harness" and direct your positive thoughts and energy you will not be able to achieve the desired result. The equilibrium of the spirit I'm talking about is something very rare. Consider that today everyone is full of stress and anxiety. It was quite the opposite in the case of Katina.
