Questions about magickal workings

[sinbad]

1. Is it okay if 24 hours have passed, but it is the following astrological day. For example, say on Day 1 you do a Sun Square at 21:00 PM. On Day 2, 11:00 AM, but on Day 3: 14:00 PM. Technically, it's two hours past but it is still on the following planetary day.

2. With MUNKA workings, if you accidentally say a wrong word in the affirmation, but it is somewhat "synonymous" and you quickly correct yourself, will it still ruin that day's working? And have to restart? What if I added words to the end of the affirmation?

3. Do you have to stick with the exact wording of any affirmation from Day 1 to Day 40?

4. What is the limit of how many Squares/Workings etc., you can do at any one time? I am doing a freeing working + sun square + trance/self-hypnosis. Is this counterproductive or not?

5. Does empowering your Aura count as a working?

 

[sinbad]

Also, if I originally planned to do a 90-day working, but accidentally cut it short due to circumstance, does it negate the total working or do I still retain the benefits if I at least made it to day 50 (I haven't done this, but wanted to know).

And ignore #5, I meant does it deplete energy, which I found it doesn't.

1. I don't think that's a problem.
2. Unless it ruins the flow of energy, it's not a problem if you can fix it up and stay on track.
3. I would recommend you do so, otherwise both you and the energies will be confused.
4. I would say 3, as doing more than that would take up a lot of time and could be executed poorly just to be done, which would be ineffective.
5. I believe so.

Not the same benefits, but some benefits. Obviously not the same, though.

I don't know if I'll make it to 90 cos life might get in the way, so I was hoping for a safety net.

Is it worse than just sticking to 40 days?

Do what you can, of course it has power. Cutting short a working does NOT negate the working, as a most negative scenario: the energy becomes unsustainable in time and depleting, not powerful enough but will affect and influence based on the quality it was enacted each day. A "permanent" character needs a longer time of imprinting and a "closed circling" of the energy structure - ie. needs to have a rhythm and mathematical harmony in it, a logic, a sense. As you finish your workings on the final day, see and know all of this energy is uniform and a unit of its own ecosystem, sustaining and having a permanent character.

Try to keep up with it.

The whole 40 day thing is somewhat overblown, 40 is a power number and thus doing a working for 40 days grants it power and therfor permanence but if you have sufficient power or the working is small and focused enough you can accomplish your goals at any day furthermore no working is ever wasted think of it as a bank each working is added to the banking but full 40 day workings or other power numbers give exponential return as opposed to the base sum inputted.

Its very hard to "waste" in Satanism everything adds up but its very easy to be inefficient, almost nothing ruins a working outside of the specific nature of squares requiring percision everything else is meerly made less efficient by mistakes.

It is not overblown as what it represents is a cycle, and this universe operates fully and completely in cycles. How do you breathe? Day and night, life and death. And so on. 40 days will complete one cycle, creating permanence, and these cycles can be stacked. Then there are other numbers that can be stacked as well, such as 50 and 100, depending on the goal. Everything has a purpose, both small and big efforts. Since we want people to grow, heal, and so forth there is much emphasis on permanent growth and structure.

Yes, one can achieve things in a shorter period of time (no one denies this, and some have mentioned the usefulness of this in the past...), but these things are not 'complete'. It's like finding a stash of bounty versus having a steady flow of capital.

This has been my experience as well tbh, and I understand you completely.

It feels like after the 40 days one has "connected the circuit" for energy to come through permanently and as if one has removed the dam that was blocking the water from flowing. But if your mind is sufficiently powerful naturally, you will definitely see results sooner and probably keep them unless you really fuck things up and/or go in the opposite direction. However, I'd only say the energy isn't as "reliable" unless you've honed it for a long time. It's more volatile until then it's been integrated.

I think for certain things, doing a 40-day magickal working is superfluous and an inefficient use of one's time/energy/attention. Unless you totally lack discipline or have serious negative karma in this area. Everything you do puts you on a trajectory, and if you can maintain this trajectory, a working is unnecessary. But it is also very specific to a person's chart, as some things hold powerful negative karma and cannot be overcome through brute force alone.
