Magick 101 - Choosing The Right Type of Magick - Does Technique Matter?

 It depends.

The master variable on how and what magickal technique matters is you. It is entirely up to you, to your belief system, your ability to unhinge disbelief in the process, what methods of focus you prefer, and what speaks the loudest to your unconscious.

So how do you decipher which magickal method or technique is the best for you?

First of all, it depends on the subject matter.

If the subject of your focus is something you have an easy time  influencing, the method is a lot less important. On the other hand, the more you hold onto a disbelief (or an opposing set of believes) that works against the outcome, your comfort level and focus ability with the used technique, becomes essential.

Remember that your intent, your focus, and the ability to be in tune with the Universal Energy is the primary ingredient for your spell, and the most essential one, so the tools of the technique has to enhance and direct this intent.

If you resonate with the energies of crystals, by all means use that. If you need the focus of the written word, then use that technique instead. Whatever you can use to get the clearest intent, the clearest state of mind, that is precisely the one to work with.

In order to find that technique, you have to practice.
Keep a journal and/or record of every spell you have done, noting every detail of what you used, and what you did, including the outcome. This record will give you a clear sense of what works for you.
 At the same time, if you feel the impulse to use something completely different, even though your recording indicated that you have been using one technique with great result, do that. The Universe in its wisdom is trying to share with you another way, which essentially can either assist you in your growth, or open a new, more powerful way of connecting with the energies of the Universe.
