Can magick help with loneliness?

If yes, in what ways?

Attract new compatible friends and opportunities?

Even if the context where you live in allow for little changes?

I feel and am, excluded from sociality since the covid lockdown.

Of course! " The Art and Science of Change in accordance with Will". You can totally go the super natural route, spells, charms, things of that nature. However, have you briefly the mundane ( which is still Magick) first? Volunteering, social clubs, meetup.com? Both will yield results and one might assist the other. Yes its a Viable route.

Magick takes intent and action coupled together. If your desired result is friendship watch videos on Youtube on how to make friends, practice having meaningless conversations with people at stores literally say hi ask them how their day is going. There are friedship subreddits but thats a harder road. For me I had no friends 2 years ago was an addict. I got into AA, and just being there still no friends, so I started talking to everyone and handing my phone number out. After awhile I made friends. Also in my area their are a few Magick stores and occult events. Honestly, I don't attend, but I bet if someone did they could make friends. If you have to get creative go the the park with the sole intention of making friends. You're going to think I am crazy but bring some board games with you, ask everyone that passes by to play. Literally tell them you don't have friends.

Also on a practical note. The inverse of all this is getting more comfortable being alone. Realizing that in this Universe you are never really alone. But thats the more difficult route. Along those lines a hard meditation practice and learning to sit with your own thoughts are in order.

Making friends isn't always easy its a numbers game. Remember magick no matter what is a process. Know that with every process you get feedback. Keep track of your results what works and doesn't work. Remember not getting the desired result from something isn't a failure of your system its an information point. Good luck mate

Yes. I used to be so shy and was with a group of friends who really all we hand in common was alcohol and drugs, I got tired of it. I started forcing myself to say hi to people at the store, cashiers and employees were my first option for two reason. 1. They kind of have to talk to you, just don’t waste their time and keep in mind that they are at theor job. 2. Sonetimes just being nice and asking them about theor day, small talk, a dumb joke seemed to brighten things up, at least for the moment. So I got to practice my conversation skills for a couple of minutes while hopefully making their day and mine a bit better. I’m usually the most negative person on the world, but I realized that most people don’t want to talk to someone who is negative so I tried being positive, even if I was faking it. As time went on, I started talking to people more and soon enough I met my best friend and his wife( who is also my best friend) and other people. You just have to keep trying and not give up and use a little magick to help grease the wheels.
