Welcome back to the Magical Experiments Podcast.
This episode is a two-part spell:
First, we share some big updates about how our community is evolving on Substack and beyond. Then, we dive into one of the most common questions we hear from magicians at every stage of practice: Why isn’t my magic working?
Community Updates: Reshaping the Hearth
We’ve made some important shifts to how we gather:
🌿 All posts are now free & public — open for comments, conversation, and co-creation.
🔥 Paid membership is about connection, not locked content — members now receive 25% off all classes, events, and offerings.
✨ The Magical Experiments Alchemy Lab continues — a monthly live gathering for feedback, shared fire, and collective experimentation.
💬 The Magical Experiments Telegram Group launches — a private hearth for members to connect between sessions, share field notes, and keep the current flowing.
Meet Abundantia — Our Community Wealth Spirit
With these changes, we’ve also welcomed a new presence into our work: Abundantia.
She is the Magical Experiments Community Wealth Spirit, a living current of joyful reciprocity dreamed into being to hold and circulate the resources that keep this hearth burning.
When you contribute to Abundantia, you’re not just supporting us. You’re joining a communal spell — one that delights in returning to you and rippling blessings outward into the wider field.
Abundantia is how we anchor wealth as magic — not transaction, but relationship.
We created Abundantia used the Custom Attention Entity method.
Why Your Magic Isn’t Working
So often, when magic feels like it isn’t working, it’s not because you’re “bad at magic.” It’s because something in your system needs tending.
Here are some of the most common blocks we see:
⚡ Attention Leaks — your energy siphoned away by distractions or unresolved contracts.
🌓 Shadow Sabotage — unconscious parts of you resisting or undermining your intent.
🌱 Lack of Integration — rituals without nervous system or daily-life follow-through.
🔮 Disconnected Ritual — working with systems that don’t resonate with your lived experience.
🜃 Overcomplication or Under-Embodiment — piling on tools without presence, or skipping embodiment entirely.
The truth is simple: magic is a feedback loop. Action, reflection, experiment. If your spell doesn’t land, it’s not failure — it’s data.
