Ceremonial Magick

“Magic's just science that we don't understand yet.”

short-ish response

You get more inspirations and ideas outside of your own thinking and able to have a "zoom out" to your own existence instead of being forced/shoehorned into the same few ideas or thoughts most people circle on about

You would notice that there's a significant change in character initially for yourself, it will subside in a big way but you will still have that lingering influence that your own personality is left colored by the whole work. I think the change overall is positive just not easily perceived.

There's a definite slight life path deviation, not in a major way that suddenly you lose your job or your house burn down and you get insurance money. It's not a negative effect but more of the influence of Ophiel and the Seal of Secrets. You can avoid it if you don't personally deal with Ophiel and Seal of Secrets but why would you if you're already balls deep into Arbatel you might aswell do it. I would describe it as a slight modification of one's natal chart "lights" through the lunar mansions prisms/mirror.

Simplicity and Pragmatism takes more precedence in your life, I think this is the extension of the influence of Arabatel's Aphorism 36 " Therefore simplicity is chiefly to be studied, and the knowledge of such simples is to be sought for from God; otherwise by no other means or experience they can be found out." So if you like high and complex theory then this might be seen somewhat as a negative haha.
