Introduction: Stop Guessing, Start Mastering
Do you ever do a magical working and feel like it didn’t work, but you can’t tell why?
Or maybe you’ve done a working and gotten a result, but a little while later the result goes away?
Or you’re going through a dry spell, where nothing about your magic feels alive or present and you’re going through the motions, wondering if magic is even real?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you’re not alone.
And this is one the reasons some magicians struggle with consistency in their magical practice. When you don’t know why your magic isn’t working, it can be hard to continue doing what you’re doing.
The problem isn’t exactly your results though. It’s a clarity problem, specifically the clarity around what is or isn’t working in your magical practice. If you’re not tracking what you’re doing as well as other variables that are relevant to the working, or your overall magical system, it will be hard to pinpoint what isn’t working and why.
We’re going to share an audit process you can use to assess your magical work, as well as some additional resources that can help you pinpoint what is or isn’t working in your magical practice. This will help you sharpen your magical skills, and get you better and consistent results.

The Reality Check – Is Your Magic Producing Results?
This is the question so many magicians don’t ask or aren’t honest about when they talk about their results. The brutal truth is even you don’t seem to get a result you are getting one; The lack of a result indicates that your magical process isn’t working.
Taking a look at your results can be uncomfortable. It means you’re taking a look at what is and isn’t working…and its absolutely essential if you want to get better results with your magic.
Questions to Ask:
What specific outcomes have I gotten from my magic in the last 3 months?
Where have I seen tangible, measurable, or emotional shifts?
What areas of my life still feel stuck, stalled, or misaligned?
Exercise: Create a “Magic ROI Record”:
Pick 3–5 key areas of your life where you’ve been applying magic. For each one, write down the following:
Area of Life – What part of your life were you working on? (e.g., Love, Finances, Health, Creativity, Protection)
Magic Done – What specific spell, ritual, working, or intention did you use?
Intended Outcome – What did you want to happen? Be specific.
Actual Result – What actually happened? What shifted—tangibly or emotionally?
Effective? – Was it effective? Yes or no. (You can also use a scale or notes if you want nuance.)
Example:
Area of Life: Finances
Magic Done: Jupiter invocation + prosperity altar
Intended Outcome: Attract new clients and increase income
Actual Result: Landed 2 new clients, income increased 15%
Effective?: Yes
Repeat this process for each area. Don’t rush it—treat it like a ritual in itself. Your data is sacred.
When you're done, look at the patterns:
Where is your magic strongest?
Where are you repeating effort with no real return?
What kinds of spells or rituals tend to work best for you?
This isn’t about judging yourself—it’s about becoming a more conscious and sovereign magician.
And if you want some feedback on what you’ve discovered, send us a message.
Section 2: Tools & Technique Breakdown – What's Actually in Your Toolkit?
You have tools and techniques that you use. Sometimes it can be useful to revisit what you are using and make sure it still fits your magical practice.
Inventory all of your magical tools and every technique, ritual style, or magical approach you’ve used.
Ask: Is this aligned with your way of working — or just something you copied from a book?
Ask if this tool/technique/process is harvesting your energy or interfering with your results. If so, consider a deep dive with our Hidden Harvest Masterclass.
Categories to audit:
Types of magic (sigil, planetary, trancework, spirit work, etc.)
Ritual structure (chaotic? disciplined? improvisational?)
Frequency and consistency
Tools and the space you do your magic in
Integration methods (Are you anchoring the magic in your daily life?)
Auditing your tools and techniques can help you determine what needs to go, what needs to stay and what can be improved on.
Section 3: Alignment Audit – Are You Performing or Transforming?
Magic fails when it’s performative, not transformative. Performative magic is done for the sake of trying to look magical…but is it real? Magic ought to transform your life. You’re not doing magic to look like a Hot Topic mage. You’re doing magic to create real change.
Key Alignment Questions:
Is this spell/ritual connected to a desire that actually matters to me?
Am I clear on what I don’t want, as well as what I do?
Do I feel emotionally and somatically connected to the magic I’m working?
Am I doing this for results — or for identity/performance?
Section 4: Pattern Disruption – Where Are You Repeating Mistakes?
Magic magnifies patterns: Good and bad. What is unexamined will show up in your magic. When it does it can sabotage and derail your magical work. Take a moment to audit the patterns that are present in your magical work so you can decide if they are helping you or if they need to be transmuted.
Patterns to Look For:
Emotional state before magic (Are you anxious, desperate, distracted?)
Avoidance of integration (Do you ritual, then forget?)
Inconsistency or magical binge/purge cycles
Magical "dependency" instead of agency
Section 5: Energetic Feedback – What’s Your Body Telling You?
Your body is a divination tool. Your energy doesn't lie and your body keeps the score. Tuning into your essential body wisdom can help you step deeper into the experience, but also warn you if something is out of alignment.
Exercise: Somatic Check-in
Recall your last three rituals. What did your body feel like before, during, and after?
Did you feel drained, charged, confused, numb, ecstatic?
Where did the energy land — or leak?
Section 6: Recalibrate and Reinforce
This is where you rebuild your magical work, with conscious choice and awareness. Now you know what isn’t working and you can make changes on your terms.
Action Steps:
Drop 1–2 techniques that aren’t working.
Double down on what does.
Design 1–2 new rituals that are based on your archetypes, elements, and lived experience.
Set up a tracking system (daily journal, weekly audit, monthly review).
Closing: Your Magic Is a Living System – Treat It Like One
Stop outsourcing your power to tradition, aesthetic, or randomness. Your magic isn’t an outfit with lots of bling. It’s a lifestyle choice and a way of being. You are the magician and the experiment. Challenge what you know. Refine what gets results. Burn the rest.
