Magickal Succes

To reach Magickal success do you have to master meditation or it just facilitates?

You don't have to master it, But you do have to do it. A lot.

Sometimes its difficult to find time for this. I think you can get results without it, but you're better off doing it. If time is a problem, you can just do it for a few minutes before getting out of bed in the morning. Do it if you can't sleep. I do brief visualizations of the powers I work with during rituals. My visual of Haniel is drop dead gorgeous. Ok.

the fellows who answered before me are both right.

you have to meditate often to increase your magickal abilities. but that doesn't mean you have to force yourself into long and deep meditative sessions. i read in a book about magick written some 30years ago that one can meditate quite well for short periods of time: while taking a shower, while washing dishes, while cleaning, while in public transportation and so on. and just use active meditation, for it doesn't need sinking in a deep meditative state of stillness. just set your mind on the subject and work with the thoughts that arise on that.

i found out that one of the best times for me to meditate is while doing the Middle Pillar ritual. it helps alot if for example i have to do a certain spell after that.

you can create your own methods. whatever serves you best.

blessings!
