There is a certain question this topic will answer, in regard to manifestation in workings. Zevists and especially beginners in the path, due to wrongful information or lack of experience, can have a situation taking place where their workings, upon being started, can for a while have the opposite effects.

This can result due to oppositional energies. For example in healing, one does healing and for a given time, the condition can seemingly remain the same or even worsen. Then, as one keeps up with the working, a reversal can happen and one starts healing. This is in most cases natural and when one uses proper magickal tools (as in those in the ToZ), this is in some cases to be expected.

Behind the above there are many reasons but to name the most prominent reason, it is because certain karmic obstacles exist in place. As one tries to take down a rock to reach a well, there is going to derbis at first falling down, then one has to clean and then one can finally draw water directly from the well. That is why purification of the soul is necessary before one starts embarking in more and more magick. When this process is finished, this condition will no longer take place.

Further, one would not initially have to suffer or have damages happen to them, if there was not a negative karmic buildup that has taken place in an area. Therefore, rectification of an issue already present, will in many cases have to go through this exact process described above. This can take a while depending on the nature of the working and the amount of negative build-up.

As the above is kept in mind, one has to keep going until all the clutter is cleared and one can finally proceed to develop through this process. Another way to know if something is truly working, is because this process will start happening. If one‘s magick is not working at all, there is not going to be any effect on anything at all (nor the above is going to happen - things will simply stay the same). If that happens, one must know to change their course in regard to the working itself and do another type of magickal work.

Since that is a very complex subject, the above is a general answer that should answer for most situations. In many cases and depending on each individual, the above can be affected and have more things that must be sorted out. One will find these as one goes.
