I also made three wands out of that copper, the first two being lost into the world, including one I had set a sapphire into the end of. They just fell out through holes in my pockets.DIRECT Manifestation is one of the most difficult acts I know of, and the hardest thing about it is that the results of such exist entirely in the realm of causal adjacency. And STILL it requires work and awareness.
Let's take for example my penchant for directly manifesting 'base materials' for other enchantments:
Once upon a time I needed some copper. Not just any copper, but very thick copper wire that had been struck by lightning and/or kept energized in a stat of chaos.
I eventually used it to make my "circle" (really, just a loop of copper bound at the ends by an iron nail).
Anyway, the process involved so as to manifest it involved setting the intention, sure, but that's only the first step.
The tool I used to manifest it had itself to be offered to me, and the only thing that I ever used that tool for successfully, could have ever used that tool for successfully, was the manifestation.
The actual ritual was abjectly simplistic: raise the wand offered thrice, first by Storm to offer it's power of intent for <lightning struck copper>.
A week later a rager of a storm rips through, and there's a HUGE crash of sound that night. Lightning had hit the power pole directly behind my house and left the block without power for a day or two, and eventually some workmen come by and fix the issue.
The actual discovery of the copper cam over the next three days: as my spouse and I are pulling up to the driveway from our alley, there's a nebulous shape of something in the alley directly behind our house. My spouse has me get out and look at what it is, and it's a massive tangle of copper, and there are some cut bits of tree branch with sear marks on it.
The end of the length of copper was alloyed to brass in sections with clearly melted bits, and there was fuming of zinc oxide on my fence.
But I did say "three days": over the next two days another piece fell down out of the tree and then another. The strangest part is that the gauge of the later length wasn't the same as the gauge of the first; they were from different things, though both lengths were solid copper.
I put away the wand after that and eventually gave it to one of the "best men" at my wedding along with the knowledge of my ritual of manifestation and the story of the wand's origins.
In all, it would have been FAR easier to just drive to a hardware store and get some brand new grounding line or just order it off Amazon.
Problem is, none of that would have worked if I had made an abject demand in the process. I OFFERED, and of something freely given, and so it had to be freely given of in turn.
There are ways to make direct manifestations more certain than through this form of passive request, but the cost for doing so is extremely high and far beyond anything you will be told even by the entities that offer the exchange.
NEVER "directly manifest" from a position of abject need. That will at best get you nothing and at worst leave you with nothing.
It's strange insofar as it's less impactful and problematic to use it for "things you don't need, but can't get any other way".... Ive seen djinn bring stuff. this way isnt healthy, as last resort to big issues i still would hesitate....
So direct magick in my case 'costed' me an fun evening with friends and gained me a freakin sock.
These are in some circles called Nisse.In my experience and research of disappearing things (i once had a bag full of toys of approx 50 kg disappear) is that its mostly done by little buggers who are what they are. You can not really stop them or reprogram them, when they need food they eat. Some may call them golddiggers, but they are not really that. Although they are often found with them. But you can find them also within a curse being annoying. (who stole my fucking dress, argument between sisters gets huge, little buggers had dinner, curse works) They are like the little fish that eat the little pieces of meat between shark teeth.
Also, i am more inclined towards marduk, so how mammon works i do not really know. Although i understand the more general point of it.
Yeah.I had built up enough energy to transmute a item into my ethereal domain. But in this case when I decided to take a break from magic energy gathering. I was relaxing and started reading the posts in the sorcerers guild, then it happened; just for a few seconds I fixated on a mesmerizing sigil that was about cash, called a cash cow sigil. Within those few instants I felt a surge of my hard earned magic energy flow out of me. To my chagrin, the next day when I turned on my garbage disposal I found a hand full of assorted coins clanking about in it, and then I got two checks in the mail. The $150.00 worth of checks was just enough to pay for the broken coin filled garbage disposal. At least this had achieved the balance, within the working that was part of the my alchemical transmutation process. 'Who knew' ¯\(ツ) /¯
