According to Laveyan Satanism?
Sometimes it seems to be personal psychological motivation to go out and act to bring about your desired change.
Sometimes, the supernatural is implied.

I am not sure if anyone really knows for sure. I think it is a way to get you motivated more to go after your goal and to remove the anxiety and negative thoughts that might come up. A Ritual should help make you confident and positive while working to get your desire. But also the emotional energy may send your thoughts and imagery out to the minds of anyone involved to help tip the odds in your favor. I don't know if this helps you or not but it is just some of my thoughts on the subject.

Yes I agree the more emotional energy you can generate the better. Anton LaVey stressed that so often and I agree. It takes real mental focus on desire with very intense emotions until you get to a peak point where as a friend of mine put it you feel like you are having an "out of body experience mentally" because you are so mentally and emotionaly focused.

Um, I should add that I'm asking about ritual magic in the Laveyan sense, not a theistic style.
Oh... I am a theist. I was about to touch on faith. I am very much into Demonolatry... You can think of it as a bit Catholic... As they prayed to Angels and whatnot... I have demons I pray to, my Patron being Belphegore. The Demons are particular energies you can tap into to fulfill will, so you can even develope particular pantheons... Or Demons you pray to or "work with" if you prefer, on a regular basis.

... If only I didn't feel this was more for your entertainment.
I'll share it with you after we build some more rapport.

I agree with it, to me the only possible effect of Greater Magic is self-persuasion, to put yourself in a good state in order to achieve your desires, without even noticing it you'll start acting in your life in the right way to get what you performed the ritual for. I don't really believe in mentalism, and rather think the only "supernatural" effects you could get are on yourself, like people loving the Christ enough to get stigmatas on their bodies.
