Starting Spiritual Practice
Did I tell early clients when I had never performed a ritual before?

Yes. An early prosperity inquiry prompted an idea, and I directly said I had not performed that rite. I could try helping and ask for later feedback.
As a first attempt, I set no fixed fee and invited voluntary contribution. The client later reported more projects after a week. I was pleasantly surprised and learned from the experience. That feedback does not promise identical results on the same timetable for everyone.
I understand early requests as divine opportunities for practice and experience. Perceived help builds confidence, while untried areas still need honest disclosure. This concerns early history. Voluntary payment was that occasion's arrangement, not every current service.
