Slade hits the nail on the head here. So often We move at such a pace in order to fulfil Our ambitions that We do not linger long enough on those early steps that build Our foundations.
Our Spirituality, Our Spiritual Power is like a muscle, the more We work it the stronger it gets. A weightlifter, for example, who does not stretch and prepare his body accordingly before a workout will do more harm than good, also should he work on his body haphazardly he will never make it into the Mr Universe competition. So, a Routine is necessary, and this Routine covers the Basics, Daily, in order to progress.
This is something of great importance, for every journey starts with a single step.
All of us, no doubt, would like nothing more than to cast Our Magick with the greatest of ease, a mind as sharp as steel and as accurate and swift as a well placed dart, but We are not gifted with Ability, We are gifted with the Tools to acquire Ability. What We do with, and how We use these Tools is up to us.
So, the weightlifter works his body daily to achieve the maximum potential of his physical self, We in turn work Our Minds the same in order to Create the potential of Our Spiritual Self.
A routine of Repetition is a necessity. The basics then become Basic, habitual and Easy, they become second nature when worked consistently, this in turn makes moderate exercises "easier", and so on and so forth.
Results vary, this is fact, and as such one persons experiences may differ greatly from another's. There are many factors involved in this, Timing, Planetary aspects, Willpower, Concentration, Relaxation, Distraction, to name a few, but all of these factors can be improved with Experience and Understanding. What can happen, and what does happen, is that as We progress onto more advanced procedures, through experience or expectation, We move further away from the basic procedures that led us to advancement, as is natural, however, should We move to fast, or worse, forget those early steps We lessen the outcome of whatever We Will ourselves towards.
Joshua, if you are finding yourself empty handed it is better to take a step back and fill your hand with something you can hold, something you have held, to move forward again with stronger grip in order to yield results.

Just like any physical- and musical discipline we often have to go back to the Basics.
To get to higher levels of spiritual power , one must really "master" the basics. Stay Motivated and it may help to write some goals you want to achieve.
HAIL SATAN !!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone seasoned mention some rituals that can call to your guardian demon and some rites that will help increase personal power? im not rushing the meditations but i also don't want to wait 1 year before being able to fight xians.
