I've not experienced any "bad" luck since getting involved in magick, but I do specific kinds and I follow a few rules.
I have however experienced an increasing amount of synchronicities, initially at which I was highly skeptical of until now it's simply a part of my daily existence. I don't deny it anymore, it's too coincidental, and many of these synchronicities are quite helpful, albeit in small ways that some people might overlook.
1. Don't go negative, don't wish ill upon others, project intent to solve problems and never ask for things you can do yourself
2. Don't try to intentionally summon entities, an egregore is not the same, but don't fuck around with ouija shit or explicitly by name or invitation ask something to possess you or enter your living space.
3. Gratefully accept what you ask for, I have asked for things and gotten them and the universe has a funny way of putting a spin on things for you or simply giving you what it can based on what's "out there".
In this case it may not actually be what you want or you may be presented with a "real world" dilemma that you weren't expecting, you may have wanted everything to "work out" as if magick just smooths over reality, it doesn't.
It is VERY important to be mindful and acknowledge when you've gotten what you've asked for and to graciously accept what you've been given as that was what you've asked for.
Sometimes it is 100% what you want, a lot of times it isn't, but being an ungrateful twat and asking for things that in hindsight you simply cannot manage or don't truly want is not a good practice, be very deliberate and very mindful when asking for something, accept it when you receive it. To curse the universe is to curse yourself.
