The rituals were amazing - they felt overwhelmingly powerful and I was sure that the exact results I'd requested were heading my way.
But, today, I found out that the success I requested has not come to pass. This was one of those plain and simple success or failure scenarios. It's not like I asked for $10,000 and only received $10. I asked for a particular success, which was within my sphere of influence and only required a slight magical nudge - or so I thought. But nothing happened. I wasn't lusting for result, but felt a genuine faith that everything would come to pass. I am truly shocked at this result.
And I am a little mystified. So many people here have great success with Elubatel, but I never get anywhere and I'd love to know why. For now, I remain mystified.
I understand about being mystified by this, Clayfield. A few weeks ago, I did the Chant for Success calling upon Elubatel. I did it at a different location than I normally do, but I don't see how that would have affected things. Either way, I did the Chant with the intent of having better luck and fortune in general. The next 2 days were absolute hell. I'm not kidding. I could not do ANYTHING right. Absolutely NOTHING at my job went right. A severe depression I've been suffering through flared up really badly for those two days, leaving me an emotional wreck. I couldn't even have fun doing something as simple as playing a damn videogame. It sucked, and I couldn't find any relief from it. After those two days things went back to normal which, while not that great, was much desired over those two days.
The thing is, I have NO idea what happened or what went wrong. I did the NAP ritual and the chant correctly. If you believe Gray-Cobb about it, then the worst that should have happened was nothing. Then again, maybe it really didn't work and I simply happened to have a run of bad luck. I even tried asking Elubatel, but I couldn't get a clear answer that made sense.
