Confirmation bias isn't just believing every crow is a message from the universe. It can work the other way too. · If you believe you're not intuitive, you may dismiss intuitive hits as coincidence. · If you believe you can't feel energy, you may ignore subtle sensations. · If you believe your magick doesn't work, you may overlook results that don't look exactly like you expected. Healthy skepticism means questioning the things you desperately want to believe. But it also means questioning the things you've already decided you can't do.

When you're uncertain about a magical practice, try treating it like an experiment. Do the practice. Record what happens. Repeat it. Change one thing. Try again. Look for patterns. Pay attention to both successes and failures. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. You're trying to learn how your practice works. Magical mastery isn't memorizing the correct answers. It's becoming very good at asking useful questions.

A couple of days ago it was really dark and gloomy out and raining on and off. At one point there was some thunder. It started pretty low but rose dramatically to the point of the windows rattling and I could feel the floor shaking below my feet at the height of it. It also went on and on - at least 40+ seconds. I have never heard anything like like it. I even looked online to see if there had been some sort of explosion nearby, but I couldn't find anything. Well, you know ya girl - I started trying to figure out what kind of message I was supposed to be paying attention to with this very unusual event. I mulled on it for two days. Then earlier this afternoon I put it together. This weekend is the Air and Water show here. It was the Blue Angels in their fighter planes rehearsing. 🤣✈️

Okay so truth be told I'm actually rather newish to the world of magic and spells and sigils - So when @Tracy Nicholas did her How to make a sigil live over on Substack I was thinking this is fun - but wasn't actually expecting it to work. But it did - and continues to work ... Not sure if I feel comfortable telling you exactly what the sigil was for but it is specific and measurable and verifiable. Most importantly it WORKS

Here is my rose of Jericho after 24 hours in water. It hadn't been watered for several years. @Jill Hart what do you think?
