The Continuous Creation Method: A Different Techinique for Charging Sigils

Okay. Sigils.

You know, there's a million better places to find out about the bastard things. Liber Null, for example. And Fireclown has written a wonderful guide to sigilisation that you can find on the Tools Of Chaos web site.

Oh well, whatever, nevermind. Here goes.

Sigils are one of the most used (some would say over used) aspects of Chaos Magic(k). The theory seems to go that they will go straight to your subconscious, where they will take effect, without your conscious, realistic brain tapping you on the shoulder and telling you that what you are attempting is impossible.

Many magicians also have personal sigils, which they continuously charge and use as a signature of sorts.

Example of Creating a Sigil

Statement of Intent: I WANT TO ACQUIRE A COPY OF HELLRAISER FOUR

Now, more forcefully and correctly, this should be: I WILL ACQUIRE A COPY OF HELLRAISER FOUR

Get rid of repeating letters: I WL ACQURE OPY F HS

Or rather: IWLACQUREOPYFHS

Dump the vowels: WLCQRPYFHS

NOTE: You can get rid of repeating letters or get rid of the vowels, or both.

Now turn it into a pictogram, using the shapes of the letters, but in no particular order. The sigil should not be particularly obvious as a representation of your desire. E.g.

Methods of Implementing a Sigil

Okay, forget for the moment, how much you want Hellraiser 4.

Just concentrate on the sigil. It is preferable that you visualise the sigil, but I suppose in a pinch you could stick it on the wall and concentrate on it REALLY hard. But DO NOT think about your desire.

1. Visualise your sigil, while masturbating or fucking. As you come, pour all your energy into the sigil This method is particularly good for achieving sexual desires, but don't over categorise. Any method is suitable for any desire.
2. Achieve a state of gnosis, and visualise the sigil..
3. Have yourself caused great pain, and pour all that pain into the sigil. This is especially useful for curses, but again, generalisation is a nasty word.
4. Visualise yourself killing someone you hate, possibly the victim of the working, if that is suitable. Then visualise your sigil and pour all the joy, and hate, and anger into it.
5. Visualise making someone you love very happy, and pour that love into the sigil.
6. Here's one for all you programmer types out there. Embed a sigil in one of those fractal acid programs, take some acid, and masturbate to orgasm while obsessing on the image on your screen.
7. Combine 'em any way you like. This is *chaos* magick after all. :-)

Getting Rid of the Sigil

Try to forget about and destroy the sigil. Good luck. It might be worth being off your face when you do all this to make forgetting the whole business easier. Don't now stop looking for Hellraiser 4, just forget or ignore the fact that you did a working to help you find it.

The Continuous Creation Method: A Different Technique for Charging Sigils

Posted to the z-list by Furie 333 (hello)! on 5/7/97

Last night I realized a 'new' style for charging sigils, and wanted to post it so people could help me check its validity. The idea stems from what I was saying a few weeks ago about sigils seeming to function

without being 'charged' (i.e. without a gnosis rite expressly for that intent, be it sexual, chemical, whatever). It is based on the intimation that the most potent method of sigil 'charging' is the act of creation itself. I call it:

THE CONTINUOUS CREATION METHOD.

The idea is that the act of Creation is what actually empowers the Sigil.

1. When you create the Sigilimage, try to think only of the Sigil and/or the Creation Process.
2. Once you have a Sigilimage, copy it at any opportune times and on all available surfaces. Think only of the Sigil and/or the drawing Process.

Notes:

1. Try drawing your Sigil in places where doing so is actually dangerous (i.e. on overpasses, the wall of a police station, the side of a bus at a bus stop). This adds an element of Fear Gnosis to the Act.
2. The use of a stencil would make it easier to make hundreds of copies of your Sigil all over the place.
3. Try both with, and without 'forgetting' the intent of the Sigil, just to see if this affects results.

Any help testing and/or refining this method is greatly welcomed. Please feel free to use this method in any way you wish, just so long as you credit it. Thanx.
