Hello. Newbie to the board, but an avid enthusiast of esoteric knowledge.

I have a question. Actually, two to three questions. Have any of you practiced any rituals or rites that have consistently worked? If yes, were these practices learned from others or discovered from principles?

And, in your experience/opinion, where does esotericism and the occult end and theatrics and illusions start?

Edit: I really don’t get all the downvotes. I’m just asking perfectly reasonable questions. And I’m even polite about it. Is it the thumbnail? Did people get offended by the greenscreen wizard? I hope that’s not the case, I like the greenscreen wizard. He has much wisdom to share.
