First, "Wow, I'm actually doing this" experience?

[ZAXCY]

Im still very new at 16 months genuine study and practicing in the occult, and I have felt desire for flashy undeniable experiences but still have felt a few synconicities where it really strikes me, that this does work, this path is for me.

On my last birthday I decided to do my formal intiation ritual. I planned a very chaos magick appoch of finding what seemed resonant to me and so after planning the ritual I would go to the local graveyard at midnight with the residuel fear of my religous upbringing, I wondered if I was maybe going to mess myself up. With props and a pledged my self initiation into the path was started and after my banishing all the birds around at this time started wailing, among other syncronisitc happenning the following few days.

Just had me curious what other stories people might have where they thought, Wow im actually doing this and reality is responding to me?

Bless!

If you have kids under 18 years old. Do the LBRP while in the same room. And ask what they feel.

That's fascinating. What other synchronicities did you experience?

My first "wow this is happening" moment (shortly followed by "omg wtf lol") is a much more tame. I created a sigil with an intention to find a lemon in an unusual place. Yeah, lame, I know, but it was meant to be. I wanted something that would be easier to forget, something that wouldn't be overcome by the lust for results that might have occurred if I'd wanted to get it on with Zendaya or win the lottery. I got the idea about the lemon from this forum (or maybe Reddit, I don't recall).

The next day, my work colleague showed me some slides from a short PowerPoint presentation. It was for an overview of our organisation's Finance department for some work experience students, and she'd used AI to generate it. One slide had a list of Finance functions/outcomes/objectives (stuff like year end accounts, reconciliation, budgeting) with icons beside them (like abacuses, calculators, pound & dollar signs).

Beside "Prosperity & Growth" was an icon of a lemon.

I accept that this doesn't sound much like a "wow" moment. Nevertheless, a Finance presentation is one of the last places I'd expect to see a piece of fruit, so I chalked that up as a success and I've never looked back.

I'm looking forward to hearing what others have experienced.

My classic was I did a successful ritual to find a piece of lost property, and discovered later that Osama bin Laden had been killed at the same time as I found out that the property had been found (i.e. the magical act had completed)

When you engineer coincidences, other random coincidences can occur, like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond.

Synchronicity is randomised (intentionless) magic.

This honestly does sound like a wow moment to me lmao

In the beginning: Lol. Being a dreamer, I had no clue what I might be capable of. I knew I had already hacked people and shared in their dreams, and during waking I could sometimes make people see things, a fabricated dream overlay draped over reality.
So, as a bystander / observer at a card game in a garage, I decided to try my skill at using the power of sleep. I gathered up all of my Qi into and above my head, and infused it with all the experience I could find that related to falling asleep and stepping over the fulcrum into my world. Then I projected that like a laser beam into the forehead of one of the card players. He immediately fell face first into the table, out cold.
I suddenly got the results of using all that Qi, all at once, without knowing the consequences. All of the remaining energy in my body suddenly dumped into the feet channels and emptied into the ground, sucking my awareness into a spinning vortex. All I could do was witness myself tipping over like a tree. I smashed my face into the card table and sent it buckling into the wall, cards and sodas flying everywhere, the sleeping subject of my intent crashed to the floor but didn't wake up. I hit the hard concrete garage floor with my face, making a sickening POP sound with the impact of my hard skull. Only a moment passed and my Qi came flooding back. I stood up and checked myself for damage, but there was not a single bruise or scratch. No pain. Just a stunned bunch of family and friends wondering what the f&*k just happened. I can only ass-u-me that the Qi was still active and protected me from harm. The person I focused that energy on later died from a brain tumor, which bothered me enough to never try that again. Be careful what you do, what you intend, and what you wish for. We all have our skill sets, and the application and practices are not necessarily gained from books or other people's instructions, in particular if the other people are not part of your skill set.
