Are the short ones just as effective as the long versions?

Yes but I suspect they are less powerful, although it wouldn't really matter when you're doing high reps like 111 or 216

If they were, then there would be no point in ever using the long ones. They both work, but the longer ones are more powerful and express the energies in more detail. Use the short ones when you want to do a square but lack the time to do it with the long ones.

This is how squares work. It’s using timing and the metaphysical laws of numerology to amplify everything. Otherwise you’d get no use out of vibrating a mantra 2 times in one day for instance and then 1 time the next.

The longer mantras are more effective. If you do 3 rtrs on an unfavorable day and could get the same power doing it once on a more favorable day, yes that means you could only do it once and it would be just as good. But it would be even more awesome if you did it 3 times on the favorable day for even more power than normal. Same with the short and long mantras. They’re all boosted by the laws of numerology and by the astro timing they must be started by. But the longer mantras are even better if you can do them.

The short and long mantras get that boost you wouldn’t otherwise have, but a good analogy would be like adding NOS to a simple sedan and then adding NOS to a sports car. Both get the boost. One is still gonna go a lot faster.

The short ones work fine they are more helpful in more beginning people who might not be able to handle stronger energies or people who might for some reason not be able to do the full long ones on some day with the working or think they might not due to time or circumstances.

The Short ones They work perfectly fine but are not quite as powerful as the longer ones.

Also to add, effective means it works and will do what you want. If u do the square properly, regardless of using the short version or the longer version of the mantra, the working is doing its job just the same. Power adds to how quickly and easily the working will manifest. The squares themselves are very powerful so even if one's a beginner or not as adept as others the square itself is designed in a way to still manifest regardless. On the downside, the squares are very specific in how they must be done which means if you mess up once then the square is ruined.

If you think you are going to do the entire square without any issues then the long mantra should be used. If you are still new or a beginner in magick or believe that at some point during the square there will be a day in which you know you will be short on time then use the short mantra.
