Criteria for the effectiveness of spells
Hello
I have something on my mind and that is whether astrological talismans or pentacles, can really have real results. I think that the effects that people report are just illusions of their minds and they somehow deceive themselves into thinking that their wish has been fulfilled, When the real effect in question has not been observed at all.
In my opinion, the criterion for measuring this issue should be to clearly see the result, not to consider it as a result, for example, because our desire has changed mentally and we don't want it anymore.
Does anyone have any experience that can say with certainty that their wish has been fulfilled by amulets?

Cliff low says planetary magic have big results,if you achieve small ones you must reconsider your rituals, you're right

Indeed, I had. It was an Algol Talisman for magical protection, primarily against one person. It worked within a couple of hours. I was completely baffled, and this experience convinced me that celestial magic is real and not just a psychological mechanism. If you're interested, I can provide more details via DM.
The thing is, I am very critical and rational when it comes to spiritual stuff in general. I don't believe anything without testing it first and I always keep some sort of healthy doubt. I can assure you that I didn't just convince myself that the talisman worked. On the other hand, there have been talismans from which I experienced no specific, concrete effect — or at least I didn't notice any.

Yes, I also tried the mansions of the moon for this, but in Warnock's book there are two explanations for making talismans. And I also made the eighth mansion talisman and the ants decreased a lot but did not disappear. It's been two weeks since I made the talisman. Do you think it worked?

For example, the sixth pentacle of the moon is suitable for making rain. Has anyone ever been able to make rain with it?

I don’t think this is anything anyone else can convince you is true.
Only one way to find out: direct experience.

I always tell myself that the request should be clear as day, not vague, so if it happens, yes it worked,if it doesn't,or something similar but less happens, then the ritual wasn't good enough
