Look at the lives of these famous occultists, and then decide if it works:
Henry Cornielius Agrippa von Nettesheim: One of the most famous occultists of the middle ages. His work has gone on to inspire hundreds of "magical" books and writings. Despite all his occult knowledge, he died in poverty at age 41 in 1532.
Cagliostro, a famous French-Egyptian "magician", did the most embarrassing things, like putting a teacup on his erect penis and telling women "This is the only Bishop you will bow to!" He died in the Bastille in 1795.
John Dee discovered Enochian Magick and tried unsuccessfully to get the spirits to bring him money. He spent the final years of his life stripped of his honors and income and was forced to live incommunicado. He died in extreme poverty at 81.
Paracelsus: Thought himself a great physician, but he was really just an alchemist who had bizarre theories about human anatomy and prescribed dangerous remedies for his patients. This man was said to be arrogant and conceited, and was shunned by the other medical experts of his day.
He died broke at the age of 48.
Edward Kelly: An assistant of Dee, after failing to strike it rich with Enochian Magick, he was killed trying to escape prison. He had been imprisoned for his old hobby, counterfeiting.
Aleister Crowley had a nervous breakdown in spent 4 months in an insane asylum after trying to conjure a demon in a Paris hotel. In 1947 he died impoverished in a flophouse, forgotten by his family, a drug addict and alcoholic, despite strating out in life as a rich heir to Crowley Ale. He squandered it all on drugs and whores. "Success is your proof " - -Liber Al Vel Legis 3:46, Aleister Crowley
Gurdijef was a Russian con man who got involved in many money making scams. Once he dyed sparrows in peroxide and sold them as canaries! Even his biographers admit he had a "streak of charaltainism" about him. He created a system of bunk psychotherapy which is convoluted and even people who practice it can't clearly explain what is. In other words, it was the forerunner of Scientology.
Christian Rosenkrutz never actually existed. The whole Rosicrucian thing was started as a joke to make fun of occultists by a Lutheran minister named Valentin Andrea.
The Fox Sisters started the whole spiritist/seance’ movement in 1840. Years later they confessed the whole thing had been a hoax, but no one wanted to listen.
Samuel "Macgregor" Mathers: Eventually all the members of te Golden Dawn figured out Mathers lied about the secret chiefs, which led to him being kicked out, & the Golden Dawn being disbanded. He died in poverty from Pnumonia in 1918.
Jack Parsons blew himself up in his basement, making nitroglycerin, which he sold on the black market to supplement his income (apparently his money spells didn't work, either!).
Pamela Coleman Smith painted the illustrations for Authur Edward Waite's tarot deck, one of the most popular decks being used today. She died penniless and alone in a London flat.
Paschal Beverly Randolph inspired people like Aleister Crowley, the members of the O.:T.:O.:., and Henri Gamache. His books are still in print. He committed suicide at age 44, leaving his wife and son to live in poverty.
They couldn't make the occult work, neither can anyone else.
Here's a quote from Wiccan Tradition Head Silver Ravenwolf:
"For years I couldn't afford to go to a hair stylist (still can't, it's shop and chop for me). I got pretty good at stying my own hair from looking at magazine pictures" [SOURCE: Teen Witch, Llewellyn Publications, 2003 edition, page 145]
She also wrote a book about Prosperity spells. Does she sound like she can make it work? She can't even afford a hairdresser! My wife just spent $100 at the beauty parlor and we're far from rich.
Here's another quote from that same book:
"A lot of people tell me how bad their lives have gotten after casting a spell and tell me they won't do Witchcraft anymore. I tell them their lives would have been much worse for not having cast the spell."
If you want to really have a good life, ditch the occult.

Magick is the inexplicable. Some magick becomes science. Some Magick is called Miracles. Some Magick will never be understood.
Example: (On a grand scale) There is no answer as to why galaxy whirl like carousels. Some say it takes place because of gravity, but no one has ever explained gravity. They only say it is a natural force or a natural attraction.
Example of Magick becoming science: Healers and midwives of many years ago would dip cloth into a cauldron of boiling water with various herbs before wiping a cut or wound to cleanse it. Physicians and clergy called this witchcraft. Now, it's called sanitary, not Magick .
I've been practicing one form of Magick or another for better than 60 years. Practice has yet to make perfect. I'm sorry, but I doubt you would find a true mentor, being you are in such a hurry.

Magic - this is a term used to depict the acts of an illusionist or show magicianry.
Magick - what you are asking about!
It is something inherent in everything, it is the force that allows you to have breath within your lungs, the power of language and lingual abilities, the power of mathematics(numerology), chemistry(alchemy), Linguistics(spellwork), Astromony(astrology) and many many more sciences. That is what magick is, a Science and an Art at the same time -
It has the preciseness of science - and the creative god force of the arts.
You must become a seeker to truely find magick, you must allow yourself to be opened and inspired by magick. You must choose a system that is agreeing within you and work with it until you feel comfortable to advance in it.
You cannot simply use magick - Unless it is natural or born to you, you must learn it from the start. It can be and has been done by some of the most powerful occultists and magicians througout history. Not all have the luxury of being born faye - of magickal!
Good Luck On your Journey!

Sweety, most of us were born into the craft and its not something you can teach here. Study if you really want to learn-start slow, build up your energy and you'll be able to mix, brew, and conjure after a time. It's not easy-but its not so hard that the average individual can't pick up a few books and learn!!!
