The Magical Preparations
-
This is kind of an abstract idea I am putting out there, but I have noticed this phenomena occur more than once. Basically, when I get it in my head that I am going to learn a new magical technique and begin researching into (goetia, enochian magick, etc.) I find myself seeming to be guided through and to information. Not simply facts, but more like a series of pieces to a puzzle and suddenly the whole system is laid out in front of me. Mind you, the information does not always come from source material, often times, other magicians will give me information without myself asking. (The answer without the question.)
Now this can precede my first working of a new technique/sytem by weeks or months. I find it to be strange and revelatory, sometimes this occurrence cause so much "enthusiasm" that it almost sets me back from doing the working I planned. I can't say that is always true however, as I had spent months getting "lost" in "ideas" while researching Goetia. So much so, that I nearly forgot why I had wanted to do the working, and when I finally got to it i could not have pin pointed a better astrological time to perform it.
I have begun to suspect that this is the invisible hand of "the Angel" guiding what I do. It is exceptionally funny because my nature is to rush into things and often times get poor results, but when I am "entranced" so to speak everything falls into place on its own.

I think this symptom might be a classic when doing Goetia work, for reasons that are self explanatory when you think about it.
aside from that, syncronicity does seem to come into action thick and fast when you start doing magickal work, although to be completely honest I think this is true of any kind of work, not just specifically magickal work, its just that it seems more obvious among the seeming unconnected areas of Magick, to put simply, coherent patterns stand out more against the backdrop of the Occult.
