Hello GOM (Adam),
I have a question.
So at the moment I have determined I am going to win the jackpot lottery. I know, I know. It’s very frowned upon. I feel like in every GOM book there is at least one reference that says something along the lines of “but don’t expect a lottery win” or etc etc. and yes I’m aware that “randomly bouncing balls are far more difficult to control”.
But someone has to win! The “odds” may be 1 in a billion, but again why can’t that one person be me? I’ve heard of the lady Cynthia Stafford that used LOA and meditation and whatnot to get the exact amount she wrote down. Then I heard of a guy who had a voice in his head to play certain numbers and he won. My uncle once won $250,000.
Why do I want a lottery you say? Because I want $350+ million in one sitting (not saying I want to win the lottery in the next week, month or year). Just saying I want a large sum of money in one sitting and I actually want to spend a large portion of it. According to what I’ve read in the GOM books, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s almost like the books say you can get anything you desire; levitate, be psychic, see spirits, oh but you won’t win the lottery.
All of that to say..I understand you guys discourage lottery winning because the “odds” may not be in your favor or that people expect to do a ritual then hit the jackpot. I don’t expect that. I will not think the magick doesn’t work if I never won. But I’m willing to TAKE THAT CHANCE.
But my question is: Are there any rituals (with reasonable expectations) that I could do that would help things turn in my favor? (I have all of the GOM books) So far I am thinking:
* Poiel- Obtain any desire (72 angels of magic) for the obvious purpose to obtain any desire.
* Banish fear or worry (greater words of power) – because once I get out my head the worry or fear of not winning I can enjoy the process and be grateful while casually playing.
* Silence the negative voice (sigils of power) – because I truly believe I can and will win. It is only a matter of time. I just have my subconscious giving me negative voices from time to time.
* Yisrael (angels of alchemy) – I wanted to use the angel of imagination because I do believe in the law of attraction. If I can increase and make my visualizations more real I can have fun visualizing and it’s more likely to become a reality.
(Lastly)
* Chaho (72 sigils of power) – Results magic, to create a new reality. I want to make my visions of wining the lottery a reality.
Just humor me pleeeease. IF you were trying to attempt what I am, would these be what you would go after. (Pretending that you believed that magic just could work for lottery). After I finish these rituals for this purpose, I will let go. And live my life. Trust me, I am not desperate just a determined person.
Thank you so much.
The reason we repeat it is that experience tells us two things; magick doesn’t help with this for anything other than smaller wins attained by a better ability to predict numbers, and large wins make people unhappy. Google it! People who suffered accidents and became paraplegic showed happiness scores that were slightly higher than lottery winners. So, even if the magick worked, we wouldn’t advise it. Most people aren’t prepared for that level of disruption. Even Damon’s book Wealth Magick, which only causes the level of disruption you seek, frightens the socks of people. Disruption! Arghhhh. So a lottery win is just hell for people who aren’t used to money.
If you still believe it’s worth doing, look at the people who have become happy from it – they usually won amounts that were not the highest jackpots. And if you want to do that, then you could practice everything you say above, but also work on prediction. Get better at predicting or guessing numbers. Practice with smaller amounts and build up. If you see signs that you’re getting better at this, then you know it’s a worthwhile pursuit. But please bear in mind that the feelings you want to get from money, and even the money itself, can be attained in other ways – that’s what we advise. And just to be clear we have never said you can levitate!
Hi Adam,
Just wondering about if there’s going to be a book of astral projection by GOM’s. I wrote to Damon about this and he told that It may or may not happen but it’s still up for a discussion. I’m also excited for the HGA book coming soon! =D
Thanks Adam.
Hi JC. Almost certainly not. The truth is, mot of the books out there are about as good and bad as each other and the techniques work and we couldn’t improve on them much. What we would throw in would be the ritual magick that can assist. But that’s already scattered through the books. If you look for magick that can help with psychic powers, willpower, even creativity – there’s a lot that can free up this process. And then the standard techniques work. As for the HGA book, please see above: Q: Will you ever publish a book about obtaining Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel?
Thanks Adam for the quick reply.
Hello 🙂 First of all thank you very much for writing and publishing all those wonderful books and giving your audience the opportunity to ask questions! I would like to ask a question concerning Magickal Protection by Damon Brand. I started today with activating the sigil with the angelic and magick names and afterwards I started out with doing the Sword Banishing once. At one point I saw a blue/white light (like a lightning) appearing on the page for seconds which was a neat experience. Also I suddenly felt happiness arising when reading out loud the angelic names. I took those as positive and comfoting signs. After that I went outside to get some groceries and on my way I had a noticeable amount of quite annoying encounters with some harsh folks. Especially one old lady that I politely asked if she needed help with her grocieries. She screamed at me and got excessively angry for no visible reason. It was just the kind of atmosphere that I can’t stand. This happened although I was in a good mood and trying to help. So I was wondering if there could be ANY kind of link to the banishing I did before? Not to imply that the banishing was causing the harm. Rather to understand if there might have been another invisible process triggered through it that could lead to those annyoing encounters…I’d be happy to learn and understand those processes – if they are existent. I do realize that it just could be coincidence but being involved in the occult I try not to discount certain events as coincidences beforehand and to consider other possibilities as well…thank you in advance!
Hello. Thank you for your kind words. I like your descriptions – very familiar. As for what happened, I’d say coincidence. It’s easy for me to say, I know. But what often happens is this type of magick makes you begin to see things and notice things and see the symbolism of everything. This can be good, and very useful, but also means you can interpret every non-magickal event as relevant. I still deal with a lot of crazed road-ragers and angry people almost every day that I go into the city – but none of them have harmed me in a long, long time. So you’ll never clear these people away, but you will be protected. But no, the magick wouldn’t be the cause, wouldn’t trigger or attract this. Sometimes, if you’re under attack, and you try to stop a curse, that person can retaliate (as mentioned in the FAQ for that book https://galleryofmagick.com/magickal-protection-faq/) but something like this I’d say was just an ordinary, if horrible, event. The magick doesn’t open the floodgates to weirdness, thankfully. Damon wrote something about this ages ago, buried deep in the website: https://galleryofmagick.com/2015/05/22/did-something-magickal-happen/
Cheers, Adam
thank you very much for your instructive answers and the effort you put into this blog and the books…your knowledge has great worth and is such immense support to a lot of people. It hink you’re right and it must’ve been coincidence! I realized that the Sword Banishing has a very positive impact on depression. It helps to lift up your mood and spirit, which is amazing. (If you don’t mind, I asked a new question on the Magickal Riches as well.)
