I wouldn't say it's about luck. It's more about having a lot of inner focus and a significant amount of discernment. Previous experiences with occult intelligences is advised.

Recent pathworking I did through me for a loop big time. It's powerful stuff when you can get it to work.

What I’m about to say is somewhat unconventional, so take it for what it’s worth. I’m aware there’s a lot of debate about the most effective method of pathworking. Theodore Rose’s book, which Drezuli mentioned above, touches on that discussion to some extent.
That said, earlier this year I stumbled upon a lesser-known method that, as far as I can tell, isn’t usually framed in these terms, but arguably could be understood as a form of pathworking. In Brazil, particularly within Spiritism, a system of de-obsession and energetic treatment was developed called “apometry”. It’s a Brazilian method created within Spiritist circles.
Apometry uses finger snapping as a stimulus to induce an altered state of consciousness in the medium. Through rhythmic snaps combined with verbal commands, the practitioner can guide the subject into visualizations and experiential states that would typically be harder to access in ordinary waking consciousness. It’s worth noting that Spiritists justify this method within their doctrinal framework, which, in my view, often leans heavily on pseudoscientific explanations (there’s a persistent attempt to present these practices as something other than religion or esotericism, sometimes with rather unconvincing arguments).
Traditionally, the practice involves two people: one giving the commands and snapping their fingers, and the other (the medium) remaining relaxed and following the instructions internally. In practice, it can be quite potent. Nowadays, there are also self-application variants, using recordings that guide the practitioner through the process.
My impression is that the originator of this method drew significantly from hypnosis and adapted it for use within a Spiritist mediumistic framework. Whether one agrees with the underlying doctrine or not, the mechanics themselves can translate quite effectively into pathworking contexts.
Because it’s such a niche and culturally specific development, it hasn’t really spread internationally or been widely adopted outside Brazil. Still, I think it’s entirely possible to perform meaningful magical work using apometry as a method. It’s worth looking into.
I find this method effective for pathworking because it’s dynamic. You’re free to alter the course of the experience as it unfolds, so you can leave, go back, or disappear if needed. That’s quite different from the more fixed approach that Theodore Rose teaches. Here, you can actively engage with and shape the process.
Unfortunately, most of the available material is in Portuguese, but that’s not much of a barrier today with translation tools. For context, here’s a brief overview in English:
