Yep. I haven't done Brand's magick, but this has been the case with money magick for me. I more often have ended up being given things or having debts erased. Also: magickians, try to use some mundane effort in your career planning (try to get into something scalable, with chance of advancement, or start a business) and try to have a secondary stream of income (such as a side business, or investments). Maybe success magick is more what you need! Doing money magick when my main stream of income was a horrible minimum wage job, meant I found myself being asked to pick up extra shifts (and thus working 70 hours a week at a horrible, grueling job). If the magick isn't working out for you, you may be working on the wrong problem. Money is often a symptom of a larger problem. Your career itself may be your problem. So too with bad habits, a draining relationship, etc...
Agreed. For a while I had a horrible addiction draining my money. Doing rituals to aquire more wealth was redundant and pointless, I should've been focusing on cleaning up my spending habits.
^ that. Sometimes the problems that drain the money simply scale so that you're still poor... at a higher income level. I know lot of people who make a lot of money on paper, but never see that money at the end of the day. They're pouring water into a bucket, but they haven't fixed the leak. They may also not have identified their real problem (so much of effective magick seems to be this - naming the actual problem). The more money they make, the more their ex wife needs... They might have done better to use the magick to change that situation before bringing the money in. The demand will just scale to absorb the money.
Weird or toxic relationship dynamics can be an issue, too. In my own case, I was with someone who was unconsciously sabotaging me. They had some compelling, real emergency show up EVERY TIME - as if by magick! - my money magick started working and they always managed to have just lost a job or something when that happened. It's like no magick for myself could actually work while we were together unless it would only primarily benefit my partner. After I left, I started being able to magick for my own results again, I found myself able to live on much less money (didn't need to work 70 hour weeks now that I wasn't picking up anyone else's slack)... AND interestingly, they stopped having so many emergencies and *their* life started moving forward successfully.
did you find your addiction actually deepening now that you had more money to feed it?
