Results Never Quite What You Expect?, Bad luck? Options

I have heard a few stories about the Necronomicon causing bad luck. Does anybody have any stories like this? Mabey it is because the spirits in the book are not liked by other spirits, like the spirits of the goetia? I noticed that on Amazon they can be as cheap as $2...

I do realize that you get out what you put in to the work as with any action we all undertake. I know that for any magical system belief is the KEY to its power. I asked the question because when I went to Ashnooks website(Its great by the way Ashnook) I could have sworn that there was a reference to," Bedazzled" the Movie in regards to how peoples results came about.( If you missed the movie the man never quite gets exactly what he asked for) I was simply interested in some of Ya'll's results.

Example:
My result was not as I expected, though, I feel I'm better off now than I was before. I meditated on Gil who as you all know is one of the 50 names of Marduk. He's specialty was in creativity, making things grow, and in helping women to give birth(this last was the reason I wanted use Gil) My girlfriend and I have been having problems lately so I figured that He could help.) She and I never really discussed her possibly having a child with me until after the ritual was done. But remarkably even though I would like to be a father I realized the other day that it wouldn't help our relationship get any better in fact it would complicate it further. So After that discussion I found the courage to break it off with her. I feel bad for doing it yet relieved at the same time.

Conclusion:
I didn't get the result I was looking for but I did get a result for me it was bizarre. I never thought I'd break up with her or that it would be as easy.

Ladies and Gentlemen. That is what I meant when I asked the question. Simply state your results if they're strange.

What was your origenal intent? Was it to make your relationship smoother? Do you concider this a failure to your origenal intent or a success?

This sounds like a greater success to me than if she had had a virgin birth.

Each of the fifty names - like any other spirit - have a lesson to teach you aside from their 'powers.' That lesson reflects their function, as it is the wisdom that they are animated with, the principles of the "mechanical" astral. Gil teaches communcation - how to access your own inspiration and communicate it, how to communcate to others. It sounds to me like you got the oppurtunity to learn Gil's lesson - did you pay attention?

The spiritual knowledge gained by working with the fifty names - or any other spirit - is the most valuable jewel of magickal practice.

I dunno. I would have interpretted it as a failure, because we conjure spirits not to lean a lesson but to produce results we desire. It seems to me he got a different result than what he initially intended, but as long as this person is happy then I guess it doesn't really matter. But this is just my opinion. I don't have any experience with the Nec spirits, only Goetic demons and I would have been less forgiving. Another thing of interest would be to find out when he did this working to know how the planets were aligned or positioned, the day, and if possible the hour of the work with said being. The sumers/babylonians were very much ito astronomy hince the origen of the word Magi(meaning astrologer) and thus magic and magician.
