That Time I Dabbled In The Magickal Arts and It Actually Worked!

in #life7 years ago

Read on to discover how I changed my life with a simple spell called a sigil.

So this was at a time of a lot of problems in my life. My wife was very ill with some difficult to diagnose auto-immune disorder. My daughter, who has aspergers, was getting bullied at school and the headmaster had refused to do anything about it. On top of that, our next door neighbours were constantly arguing, swearing and playing loud music at all hours.

We had struggled with all these issues for quite a while. We had tried to resolve through all the normal methods but to no avail. Everything we tried just made things worse. Then I remembered a video I had watched years earlier where the famous comic artist Grant Morrison did a talk at the disinfo conference and he had talked about a method of spell casting that was easy to do, fun and most importantly effective.

At this point I was desperate I was willing to give anything a try. I put my doubts and fears aside and went for it and made a spell called a sigil.

What is a sigil?

A sigil is a way to transfer your written desire into a symbol which can then be used to hack reality so that your desire manifests and becomes real. Sounds crazy right? So crazy that you would more than likely consider it a bunch of old hokum. That is unless you have tried all other options.

How do I make a sigil?

The process is easy and goes like this.

  • Write out your desire as if it’s already true. Don’t use any negatives in your statement – that wont work.
    Once happy with your written statement of desire, cross out all the vowels and then cross out all the repeating consonants.
    All the letters you are left are what you will use to create your sigil.

  • Use the letters to make a symbol by joining them together into one image. Use your intuition and any artistic skills you have to make the symbol. If required, you can alter letter shapes by stretching, reversing or adding flourishes etc. The aim is to make the symbol look magickal. Whatever that means to you. Anything goes as long as you use all the letters and the sigil looks magickal.

  • The next step is to trigger the sigil. You can do this by various means and there is a very naughty method which I will leave you to discover. The method I recommend though is to focus all your attention onto the symbol – meditate on the symbol until it becomes your entire focus. Do this for 5 minutes or more and the symbol should start to change shape or appear different. The symbol may also disappear completely. At some point it will feel like the sigil becomes inert and this means that it is charged.

  • Discard the sigil in a way that feels right for you. I recommend watching it burn away (always be safe when playing with fire!) or some people prefer to bury them or flush them down the loo. Again, whatever feels right for you.

  • The last stage of this process is to forget you did any of this. Forget about the sigil completely and do not think about it at all. If you find yourself thinking about your desire or the sigil put it out of your mind as quickly as you can. Tougher said than done. Just forget about it and carry on with your life.

I cast a number of sigils over a few days and then got on with stuff. I didn’t think about it because I was sure it wasn’t going to work.

Almost a month later I was driving home from work and a thought occurred to me. Things had gotten a lot better recently.

My wife had gotten a diagnosis and was on a prescription for medication with truly spectacular results. This in turn had allowed us to take the decision to move our daughter out of school and home educate her. This was working out extremely well for us and our daughter.

As well as all of that, the problem neighbours had moved out in a whirlwind of shouting and cursing and we were left in silent bliss.

I was stunned. Everything I had cast for had worked. And so my journey into magick and the occult had begun.
This little known magickal technique can truly work wonders and has opened up a whole new world of possibility for me.

If you do decide to try this, be aware that there are pitfalls to dabbling in the hidden arts and it would be wise to do your research first.

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm so glad that you were able to create good solutions for your family using sigils. They certainly have helped me out on more than one occasion. I do well with several types of "low magick", and I have come to believe it has a lot to do with simply having a physical translation and container for the manifestation of the energy/thoughts/wishes. I'm a big fan of both Gordon & Styx too... all good things. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for your response. I had some good inspiration from the book advanced magick for beginners as well as intuition based magick... just doing something that feels like it should work and it usually does. I am about to embark on some ceremonial magick soon starting with the LBRP that everyone waffles on about. Feels like I could do with a good banishing!
