Sigil thread

[Cramulus]

I hope that people are actually getting off to this sigil.



What have you got to lose?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Thats nothing. I can kill you DED in your sleep from the other side of the planet....





blindfolded.

In my imagination just now, your avatar's eyes glowed yellow and shot laz0rs.

You DID NOT just use the word "mundane".

um,  I'm the one who brought the word sigilmancy into the thread.  I totally said mundane.

You might as well start calling people muggles now, get it over with.

What are they supposed to do? 

Generally a sigil is a graphic representation of a goal. So your goal might be "I am going to be self-employed within the year", you create a sigil (using whatever technique works for you) to represent or encode that goal. Then you put it away for awhile with all your other sigils. Since you made it, the theory claims... the image and the goal are tied together in your head... they are linked.

So later, when you 'charge' the sigil you are trying to embed the 'goal' deep into your subconscious where you hope it affects your BIP/Paths/Choices/Programming.

Charging the sigil basically involves focusing on the image (the goal) and then doing something that distracts your conscious thinking away from the goal.

Or at least that's the theory as held by most Chaos Magicians.

We do something like this in our trainings with the teenagers.  Except we just use words, and not sigils.  They write something to themselves, put it in a self-addressed envelope, and I mail it back to them 5 or 6 months from now.  So maybe instead of "Letters to Myself", I should start calling it "Sigils to Myself".  Should be good for a hoot or two.

This is quite possibly the saddest thread on the post-coup PD.com, and I say that as someone who advocated the creation of a Mahadgickal Ghetto.

why did i just read this 

also the mahaehdfidjdgdusigjiakl sub forumm was awesome because most of the threads were jokes

I was gonna write a response to this, but I think it would be better off in a new thread in TFY,S.


However, the main problem I have with sigils is that it appears you only charge it once.  As far as I remember, the most important rule in Madgjyeeksz is to "invoke often."

From what I've read above, what some of y'all are describing is about as effective as lighting a green candle so you can get some money to pay the rent.

Arguably, twice -- I'd count when you made it as once.

Does not change the argument.

Hear that grinding noise, LMNO?

[LMNO]

Yeah... what the hell is that, anyway?

[hooplala]

I make sigils because I enjoy making little arcane looking things, theb leaving them around to spook people.  

Do I need other reasons?

[Cain]

I photocopy little pictures of the Key of Solomon for the same purpose.
