Hey there my occulties,
So one of the more repetitive and annoying questions in my inbox is "how will this manifest?" And while I understand the desire to know that very answer as I've wondered it myself, the reality is that you will find that out when you get what you asked for, which is one of those annoying facts of doing magic. In fact you can blunt your results or even stop them from manifesting entirely by trying to insist on something manifesting in a particular fashion.
So let's say I want someone to get fired from their job. Alright, so that's pretty straight forward. I have some enemy who I want to lose their job, and I've not specified how or why. But now, let's say I'm insistent that they lose their job for being incompetent at their job...except the thing is, they are not incompetent whatsoever, and are a very detail-oriented person with a perfectionism streak who is not known for making mistakes. Now I've made that spell much harder to manifest. If I didn't insist how or why the person lost their job, there are many many many reasons that they might. But if I insist in manifest in a particular fashion, this can create a need for a huge amount of energy for a particular action to happen.
Or let's say I want my ex to come back, and then I list a few things that he must also feel or experience or do to come back to me. This is also going to be a similar energy draining working and there's so many reasons it could fail instead of just "me and my ex get back together."
So, when you ask me why is this happening or what does that happen, - and I've been in your shoes where I was like "what in the actual fuck is this? I didn't spellcast for this," only to have that very opposite seeming situation blossom into what I'd spellcasted for - I might give you some advice to just hang in there, or don't worry...because what is obsessive worrying? It's lust for results. And so I try to stop you from this as best as possible....more than one of you seem to get this, and like I said, I understand how upsetting it is when you have something seem to go backwards right before it manifests as you would like it to, which is why I try to remind you gently that there are any number of reasons that don't even have a thing to do with you or the spellwork which may have caused the situation, and that it can come through sometimes in odd ways....
But this is also why I might seem vague when you ask me how something might manifest, or if I seem a bit annoyed when you insist someone come back in a particular way. You can suggest how or why something happens, but when you do, you can mow down your success rates a great deal. Of course, you should request what you want, but remember, some particular aspects may be more difficult for you to manifest.
So let's go back to the example of me wanting someone to lose their job. I want this fictional victim to lose their job because of incompetence but stipulate nothing else. Well, alright, this is still doable, even if more difficult than just making them lose their job. Now I add in that I want everyone to know that it was because of their incompetence, (presumably everyone in the work place? Or is it like something comes out in the news?) Now I've made this even more hard to manifest. With every caveat added, I make it harder to manifest.
Back to wanting that ex back. Let's say I want him to think of me all of the time. OK, that's doable even though it might be unneeded depending on how the spell manifests and it might even be unhelpful (he may be very angry still and it may stall the manifestation,) and then I say I also want him to not even be able to think of other women...well, now he might need some sort of brain damage to 100% not think of any other woman on this planet (and I sure bet his mom isn't going to like that,) and then I say no matter what the cost I also want this man (who is fictional and I just made up, but is also a sworn bachelor for life,) to marry me. Well, now the only way this spell will manifest is brain damage. ;) See, the more we add, the harder it is to make it happen.
This is why I tell you when you're spellcasting for yourself, keep it simple. Be direct, be brief, cut off the excess you don't need. But when you're the petitioner and NOT the spellcaster, adding in ten thousand things or worrying about little trivial problems can be very similar. You're moving the energy all over the place with your worrying on the how and the why it's going to happen, trying to guess how it will, and the reality is we need to be direct, we need a clear goal in mind (so that the requested thing manifests in your life, not the path to that, just that the thing comes,) and then we need to let it happen to know how and why it did. I know it's hard to retain that focus when things feel like they are going in the opposite direction, but you may be surprised how quickly things start turning around and coming into what you want when you stop focusing so hard on the situation.
Hopefully that's some help.
