Luck is the devil's trap. Never pray or ask for luck or fortune. You're a lucky man? At whose cost, exactly? At whose cost do you think that is? Conjure agency instead, and meaning, and the will for the accomplishment of your goals through honest toiling. Before mammon (money/molech) was entrapped in the prison-spell of currency, he was instead called "favor", or fortune, or luck. The very first infant sacrifices were done at the altar of luck and in the name of fortune. Luck is simply the obfuscation of the fact of having gained wealth and favor at the cost of someone else's blessings. Just look and observe all the places people go to "get lucky". What's the first place that comes to mind? Exactly. If you know any career sailors, surgeons, fishermen, hunters, mountaineers, or deeply religious men - they'll tell you not to wish them good luck, that they don't have good experience with it. Instead, we'll say - "break a leg", right? Because luck always comes at a price, and most of it hidden until suddenly revealed. It's not in the name or intonation itself, it is in the intent - and when the intent is as simple-minded as "I want things to always go in my favor", very few and rare individuals will ever consider the true cost of that reality. And their role in its occurrence. The son of Adam should not need luck, he is given exactly what he needs, when he needs it - and those are his blessings. No such thing as a "goddess of luck". That would be the Lady Fortuna, goddess of FATE and FORTUNE. Fortune has two meanings - the lesser meaning (material treasure and luck) and its [[On True Names|True Name]] (prosperity and fatedness). ![[F492E191-D3E6-491B-AFBD-1118656C00F2.gif]]
