Okay, so I’ll ask a more pointed question since this may have some relevance to my current business. I’ve just submitted some art work to an international illustration contest. Naturally I wish to maximize whatever benefits it might bring - favorable notice, illustration jobs, sales, cash prizes, whatever. What practice or practices might I put into action right now to enhance the likelihood of such desirable outcomes?

My magical background is in Hellenic Golden Dawn, practiced at a fairly modest level: the LBRP, the Middle Pillar exercise, planetary invocations and, at rare intervals, my Hellenic take on the Rose Cross ritual. Also, to some extent I’ve been practicing what Neville Goddard described as prayers, which he insisted were not, definitely not mere affirmations.
