hOW DO YOU KNOW THAT MAGICK IS YOUR CALLING

[Arzhela]

That's actually a question for you to answer.
But, really, why do you have to know? Do you feel that you have to commit yourself right now? Experiment, see if it is right for you. But you can afford to spend some time on it. You don't need to be sure that magick is your one true vocation in life to practice it:)

What she said. Open your mind, learn and if this path is where you're supposed to be, you will intuitively know. In my own experience, the right people were sent to me and events were made available for me to attend at the right time.

Agree! Agree!

Everyone's calling is different. Sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it's loud.. and soemtime's it can just knock you off your feet. The best thing to do is to look inside and figure it out.

And, yes, I agree again! Why do you have to know now? Research and make a decision based on what you know.. not just what you might be feeling. I know it sounds wonky, but sometimes feelings can be our imaginations gone haywire.. I get that all the time! 8O

Magic isn't my calling. I study religious paths and have worked within Wicca and Witchcraft and now Kemeticism, but I wouldn't say "magic is my calling". I do magic sometimes, and it works, but growing spiritually and my faith are what are important.

And to find out if a religion is right you simply learn about it, and if you agree with it's principles and tenets and believe it, you know it's for you.

Since one of the main things you need for any magick to be effective is belief..... I would say, it depends on how much you believe it is your calling.
