To add a personal data point to this, I've encountered friction in myself with just occult study, let alone magic.
I got started in this wonderful community by diving into the cosmic doctrine book club as a pandemic activity, loved it, and kept going down the rabbit hole in my own way.
Levi's work took a bit getting used to, but I got great results with the suggested tarot meditation and was able to make a slow go at it. Then I reached chapter 5 and hit what felt like a brick wall.
After introspection and meditation I saw this was a sign of issues I needed to focus on myself before continuing in earnest
