Sigil thread

[Bu🤠ns]

You're not thinking like a business.  The ACTUAL and FINAL intent is making money, yes...but selling a product is too finalized.  You need to promote customer loyalty so you can keep going.  You obviously wouldn't be in business if you weren't interested in making money.  So the 'problem' is not how to make money (that's a given..people buy your shit),  but how to stay IN business.

That's where all the commercials and logos and shit come in to play.

It's about developing a relationship through familiarity and repetition.

I should note that the distinctions in magic terminology are different from the ones in marketing terminology, and that this will fundamentally change behavior. People often tend to break stuff down the lines of the things that they consider different.

But, we are arguing how best to phrase the goal of a commercial in magic terms, which is something that I, at least, would rather leave to the AoM crew. My point was mainly that a sigil can still work without the "forget what it's about" factor.

[Bu🤠ns]

That's fine, what i'm saying is that a commercial is not an example of that.  The Sigil itself isn't forgotten, but meaning (like Fear in the insurance ads) is what's hidden.

Sigils have intent.

Sigils have stupid squiggly lines that don't mean anything.

Sort of like when I try to write using cursive.

Some sigils are musick.  Or film.  Or comics (blame Cram, as I just looked into The Invisibles).

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Right, "forget" for the purpose of the ritual the meaning of the Symbol but remember the Symbol (already associated). So a commercial can have boobs and butts and beer and actually be about sunscreen... which you only connect to with the flash of the sigil in the end.

Or... there are lots of ways to play with third circuit semantics and they aren't all using the exact same methods

Advertising is SIGULS!

No wonder I'm always fapping to the superbowl beer adverts then.

Whenever I want to really freak out some mundanes I use my arcane powers and cast my seagulls at them.

[LMNO]

I don't like mundanes,

TELL ME WHY!

I don't like mundanes...

Well, I like seagulls.

[rygD]

They remind me of Utvær.

HEY GUYS I HEARD OF THIS AWESOME CHAOS MAGIC THING CALLED "THE SECRET" WHERE YOU JUST "THINK" REALLY FUCKING HARD ABOUT SHIT AND THEN YOU GET IT, NO SIGILS NEEDED IT'S LIKE THE FAST TRACK VERSION.

I can "cast" them at high velocity at the back of peoples heads, they generally don't like it.

Back in college, I met this guy "used to be" into chaos magic. He was a pretty heavy dude. --in the sense that he was always talking about fate and death and the mysteries of the universe and what have you.  Walked around with a staff which he had "sigilized the fuck out of". I asked him if he still did ritual things, and he said no, he was into "Eastern stuff" now.

Like what? I asked

like Taoist chaos magic

What's that mean?

It's effortless, he said sagely. You don't do anything.
