I can think of various ways that could be done, but given the required circumstances it's a lot harder to test than solo rituals. The sacrifice angle might worth looking into as well, since I know that such practices do play a part in African muti magick.<br /><br />I can't say that I've had much luck either with explicitly backdating workings as far as making it part of the statement of intent goes (ie. "go back to this point in the past and do x"). Sometimes I get an effect but it's no better what I get if I just specify the ends I want without worrying about how they come to pass.<br /><br />If you take a successful working and trace causes and effects back to the source after the fact I can often point to some element in the past that would have had to shift to produce the result I experienced, but I tend to look at it more like a Schoedinger's Cat-type situation - since I'm unaware of the whole chain of events before it manifests the whole system can be treated as a wavefunction which "collapses" once the outcome is known.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-48329726160239703802012-06-07T15:25:03.063-05:002012-06-07T15:25:03.063-05:00Backdating a working..hmmm..

But then I remembered that this did work on occasion for weather magic. So the short answer from my perspective is "it depends".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-65245234469819244322012-06-07T15:03:07.411-05:002012-06-07T15:03:07.411-05:00I remember reading (I think on Rob's magick bl...I remember reading (I think on Rob's magick blog)about how if you want to get real time manifesting you need to back date your spell.
