How I magick’ed a 250,000/yr photography career
I pretty much manifested my photography career. Or used magick (or magik, but not “magic”) to get things moving.
It wasn’t about buying gear, although I did work on that. It was focused on clients and recruiting suitable models for these clients. Followed by such an increase in clients, after two years I was damn near burned out. I kept trying to roll back the number of photo shoots I did per month, but I became in such demand, major magazines were calling, not just emailing, but phoning me wanting me to do shoots for them.
So, I doubled my day rate I was charging clients. The idea was to reduce my workload, and pull in only higher end clients.
That backfired. Even MORE clients were calling or emailing. I had one client in Canada who took it upon himself to wire me my usual fee for a double shoot. I came home to find a lot more money in my bank account than when I left, and his email: “I took the liberty of paying for a double-shoot, and I have wired $xxxxxx to you.”
Okay. Wow.
How did I accomplish this with magick/magik?
The process I used is mirrored in all my classes on money and wealth. I would run a ritual to a goddess, and then the next step was a ritual to a daemon, often Bune. First step, more clients, then more available models, followed by rituals to make sure clients paid the invoices in a timely manner.
At that time, I was also working minor candle magik, complete details in my candle magik book. It’s on Amazon and several other outlets: Candle Magik for Everyone
YOu should start with High Magik 101, then into one of several classes on money. My latest course is Wealth Magik, three lectures and plenty of supporting material to assist you in creating an ongoing flow of money.
