hmmm same thing has been happeninq to me like im always noticing lil changes when i do spells lately...ive just deciding that with no doubt,my spells are all working lol
I am such a skeptic at heart that it took me a month to finally start thinking positively about the spell. I've also sought counseling from an Oba who told me that what I was praying for was a sure thing. Ever since then, little things have happened that could not be a coincidence, which gave me more faith in what I was doing. It also opened up so many doors that I cannot believe how close I was to reaching my desire. The little doubts though do seep in and sometimes nothing happens, but I've been learning to control that and use positive imaging as a reinforcer.
I hope so. It's the little doubts that keep plaguing the situation though. I wish there was something I could do to really break through that despite all the stuff that's been happening to reinforce that it's working. Perhaps work done by someone much stronger in practice than I?
You sound like me when I first started practicing. I would doubt every little thing regardless of what was happening on the contrary. I think it's really just the way society has programmed out minds these days. Humans like to believe they have the answer to every question; and when things start challenging the beliefs that were instilled, they start doubting it.
Just keep practicing. Don't try Magick on every little thing, though. It's guaranteed to backfire if you become reckless. You'll have an experience one day that'll affirm Magick permanently. Just wait and be patient.

seirei is right. also i learned that the only way you can become stronger is have no doubt..believe in wat yu are doing and believe in yourself. just like a very cocky person :)
It depends on what you and with what degree of skill. If you have done it properly it is unmistakeable.
The time of success can be immediate or not but it depends on what you are doing. Magic works on a law of least resistance so when doing a working the most likely thing to happen will happen first.
in example: If you do a money spell a suitcase full of cash will almost certainly not fall out of the sky. But if there was someone who owed you money they may show up and pay you back.
low hanging and ripe fruit falls first.
Larger operations or workings take longer. The more elaborate desire the more you must work on the smaller details that make up the whole. Does that make sense?
There is a strategy to getting what you want. Just wishing for a new life will likely just be an empty wish. Working on the details magically and materially will yeild greatest results.
It sounds like you are new to the arts and doutful of it's reality. It's good to be skeptical and critical -essential even, to avoid being a delusional basket case.
having said that, ask yourself: if magic was all a waste of time why has it endured? It has endured slaves being taken from their homes and brought to america. it has endured the dark ages, persecution, witch burnings and inquisitions. It continues not because people are fools but because it WORKS. It works just like the old books SAY it works but not always like we THINK it works.
It is not a sleight of mind or delusion for desperate people who are too stupid to see no results yet believe that they have.
However, it is also an art and science. There are certain rules and requirements and there is a finesse and 'way' just like dance or music. Both understanding and skill in the science and the art are needed for greatness.
Inherited skill or natural talents are important but nothing is greater than persistence and practice. Just like any art.
Not being rude, but I'd it's seeming to good to be true, if I were in your shoes I would say my spell worked!!!! Don't second guess what ur intuition tells u, or what's clearly obvious.... All4Tiger
I did one spell that worked like a charm. It was pretty amazing at how fast too. I've only been at it for like a week.
The other one sure is taking it's time though and is probably the one I have the most doubts in. Although I have seen some really amazing stuff happen with it, I still haven't gotten that wow moment to assure me 100% that it's real.
The thing is though that I do not think magic just works like and am learning that it's way more gradual.
Can one spell work without the other? Even it's done back to back?
