Gonna try to make this a thing.

Since you guys say you're interested.

So of late I've done quite a lot of sigil work. I've been casting sigils repeatedly for increase in wealth and finding money when I needed it. I cast a sigil to help a friend find her cat. I've also helped deter a malevolent creature from harming a friend. (All names in this blog will be changed to protect identities. As a shaman, much of what is shared with me is confidential.)



Sigil magick is really fun. I enjoy the work even tho it can be quite strenuous. It is an interesting and challenging exercise in willpower, mental focus, and randomness. My methods are a combination of the methods I've read from noted Chaots. My typical sigil work goes like this:

1. Identify my purpose. (Harder than it sounds. Knowing what one truly desires is sometimes the hardest part of the magic. This is not as simple as wording a wish do that an evil DM can't turn it on you. It's more actually asserting to yourself what you really want. We can often work against our own wills because humans often fear getting what they truly want. "Will it be what I hoped?" "What if I don't get it?" "What if it's not what I really want?" ... all of this undermines our will and falsifies our purpose.)
2. Write my statement of intent (ex. I will find twenty dollars in town today.) 
3. Create incantation from statement of intent. (Remove every repeating letter, scramble the words unrecognizably and make it pronounceable) (ex. Iwlfndteyoars ---> ardsyintowelf  --> ardis ento wylf)
4. Now sigilization. I use a modified alphabet box most of the time. (Tho there's so many ways to sigilize... this is just my current favorite.) Basically we take that incantation and map out the sigil. (I'd draw a line from letter to letter. I can either make it one continuous line or I can break it into parts, separating the words that make up the incantation version and making thus, a series of small sigils.)
5. Now I have a sigil or a series of sigils. I inscribe these carefully onto a talisman paper. (I have a few packs of blank bookmarks from the craft store that I use. They look awesome. Looking awesome helps you feel awesome, and feeling awesome is great for magick.)
6. Now the actual ritual work begins. I go to my quiet, solitary space, cast a circle (There are so many methods. I use the one described in Nine Doors to Midgard most of the time.) And begin.
7. In order to charge the sigil, I must either focus all of my thoughts to a void point (absolute vacuity) or I must excite and exhilarate myself to an extreme of emotion, near-exhaustion or the edge of insanity. There's lots of methods. Hyperventilation, dancing, drumming, yelling/singing/chanting, orgasm... to name only a few. I do one of these until the energy is built to a crescendo, and then...
8. Fire the sigil. This means setting the paper on fire and tossing it into a glodker (a fire pot. Safe burning zone.) Or in other methodology, firing it off then storing it, hiding it and making sure no one, even you will see it. (Folding it up and keeping it on your person, or straight hiding it completely.)
9. Open the circle.
10. FORGET EVERYTHING. Magick works when you completely forget about it. My mentor, Master Waldo Thompson wrote in the front of my copy of Paradox Games: "Magic is learning to forget opperantly." And I have seen this personally to be true. So this part of my method is usually to go distract myself hardcore. Video games, roleplaying, reading... whatever keeps my mind completely off of the magick. If my mate and I can head out and do some stuff in town or get into a good game, that's best. Anything that makes me forget I was casting at all... That makes the magick happen.

Finally, I record my results and take credit for what change I effected in the universe. This helps build personal will and belief. This helps break down barriers and keep my mind from rebelling against its own power. 

So that said, I will add that in the past month I have had these positive results to sigils I've cast:

• Found $20 on the ground at Walmart
• Got a $13 meal for free then saved $7 off my bill elsewhere for random reasons (on the casting of another $20 sigil)
• A friend's cat was found safely by the deadline I set in my sigil and was more easily retrieved than expected.
• Drove off a harmful spirit from a friend and gave him the means to protect himself from it further. (No further reports of harassment by said spirit have come in over two weeks now.)
• And I'm sure, a few others I don't even remember casting as they haven't come to fruition yet.
