Not everyone has self-efficacy even if they live on their own and do a lot of stuff, somehow they lack this feeling of being capable of living on their own and take control over their lives. Cooking a meal you like, building your own furniture, doing a spell, make a magical amulet, all these things are signs of self-efficacy. And in case of the magical things, they won't work if you lack this feeling. You can make yourself a table and still believe you can't do nothing, but if you believe that you can't change things anyway, change will not happen.
A good way of heighten your self-efficacy is the experience of getting things done and have a positive influence on your life, of doing things on your own. Many witches in the craft do a lot of those craft-things like making their own candles, runes, bath-salt, jam and so on. I do this, too but I always wondered why we do this and others don't. And for me it's the feeling of being able to do those things. Not just go into a shop and buy stuff, but being able to do things with the stuff I have a home or I find outside or I know how to gather easily. So it's me doing it and not just me buying it. This gives me the feeling of self-efficacy. Doing a spell needs this feeling to work but will also enhance this if it works. So actually the more you cast successfully, the more you'll get the feeling of self-efficacy. This feeling is not only important in magical work, but it's also related to your feeling of self-worth. So even if you don't want to cast, it's still nice to push it up a bit
