Enchanting your way to Malta
I received a wonderful field report this weekend that I just have to share. This is from a student who was living in Italy with a parent, and wanted to not only move out, but move to Malta.
Following the Strategic Sorcery pattern of Macro-Enchantment followed by Micro-Enchantments aimed at enhancing every mundane step of a process he was able to do just that. His work also shows a great grasp of the interplay between Big Spirits like Gods and local spirits that can effect fast and powerful change within the land they are tied to. Here is is report:
GOAL: successfully relocating to Malta despite low(ish) funds and stagnating traffic/sales from the then only source of income.
MACROENCHANTMENT:
Asking to expedite and support the relocation to Hekate and Helios in the global new year’s rite. Asking for help and protection in this during my two daily general offerings to the four classes of guest.
MICROENCHANTMENTS:
– repeatedly giving energy offerings to the local spirits while I was in Malta in December, promising that they would share and participate to my prosperity magic if they helped me settle here
– Ganesha Sadhana, 1000 mantras with a maltese stone in my hand as a link and lots of different material offerings, just before leaving for Malta last Sunday. I used the mantra circulating tech you teach in the Strategic Self Course, adapting it to the situation. I saw the mantras stream into every crevice of the area I wanted to live in and seeking out my best opportunities, clearing the obstacles.
OBSTACLES:
Since I started thinking about relocating, rents have skyrocketed in Malta. Whereas real estate agents were chasing the potential lettees only a year ago, the situation has abruptly reversed now as making a decent living in Italy is apparently nearing the level of impossibility. The shores of Malta are swarmed DAILY by Italian “refugees”.
So contrary to what I initially hoped, finding a satisfying home looked very difficult indeed. The market is RIDICULOUSLY competitive: as soon as an apartment comes on the market, it is rented, with lots of people left out. Plus, if you do find a place, it’s going to cost you about 150% of what it would have cost a year ago (yeah, I had based my calculations on that..).
In the words of my agent, what we have here is a “see it, like it, grab it” situation.
I had four days, and of the three agents I had contacted, only one had really answered me. I left my current home bitterly asking myself why on earth I always manage to hit the worst possible time in such things.
What happened really pumped my faith in my allies and magical abilities.
RESULTS:
I met the agent the day after I landed here. She showed me a flat that had come on the market not earlier than the day before. I was the first and only one to see it. It had everything I needed, and the cost was inexplicably low for that area, 520 euros instead of the usual 650 +. I saw two more that were both more expensive and a lot less appealing. I payed the deposit the day after that, and I sign the contract today.
Of course the apartment has flaws. And it is clearly a transitional solution. Still, given the context, the probability to get such an opportunity essentially handed on a silver platter must have been about one in a thousand, probably less.
What impressed me even more was that every single person involved, from the agent, to the owner, to the internet guys, was extremely forthcoming, helpful and efficient, getting out of their way to assist me. They actually gave me the keys before I signed so that I could have the internet installed and have it ready when I come back.
That’s not all.
While I was staying at my friend’s house, he told me that he and his partner are in dire need to find someone that takes care of their customer service which is taking them all the time and energy they need to create new products. Except they have never had an employee and don’t know where to start to find the right person.
It was clear from the start to both of us that that person could never be me, not permanently. I am more ambitious than that. However, I can certainly help them out during my first few months here, giving them time to figure out how to find the right person. That means I don’t have to stress out about where the money for the rent will be coming in the months I need to properly vitalize my business. Plus, this will be yet another great learning opportunity.
Furthermore, we are on the verge of an agreement that would save me a TON of time and money that I would have to spend on bureaucracy and taxes without them.
IN SUMMARY:
Starting from what seemed to be a very unfavorable situation, I got the house the very first day in less than three hours. I also (probably) got all the money I need to support and expand my business here without having a nervous breakdown. All that in a few days time, in unforeseeable ways, at exactly the right moment.
A ton of thanks to you Jason, who give us such incredible instruments of achievement, and of course to all the spirits involved, especially Ganesha, Hanuman, Hekate, and Helios. I thank you from the core and always look forward to deepen our relationship.
Not to brag, but this is the kind of thing that Strategic Sorcerers report back on all the time. Every time I wake up and feel un-jazzed for work, all I have to do is look at the reports from students and I get awed by the work they are doing.
If you would like to join the Strategic Sorcery Course, the new cycle starts on May 1st and kicks off with a big Global Rite to Juno, the wife of Jupiter.
