Magickal Arts: Working With Sigils

Here is a three part video series from Rob Cutter. He tells how to work with sigils. His technique is very simple and very easy to do. Of course the difficult part always lies in your subconscious thoughts.

This kind of sigil magick is something unique to chaos magick. It is introduced by Austin Osman Spare. When you look at the sigil magick entry in wikipedia, you can see this:

In modern uses, the concept was mostly popularized by Austin Osman Spare, who published a method by which the words of a statement of intent are reduced into an abstract design; the sigil is then charged with the will of the creator. Spare's technique, now known as sigilization, has become a core element of chaos magic. The inherently individualistic nature of chaos magic leads most chaos magicians to prepare and cast sigils in unique ways, as the process of sigilization has never been defined rigorously and the magician is expected to 'fill in the blank spots' by his or her self. Sigils are used for magical spells as well as for the creation of thoughtforms.


In some schools of magick, unlike Rob Cutter tells below, people also exclude vowels when making sigilization.







If you wish to use sigil magick for the purpose of relationships and love, don't forget to concentrate on the positive. Work with something like "Jane and I are very happy together" as an affirmation. Or to be more specific, you can also use an affirmation like "I am very happy with the Kevin's birthday present to me".

Happy studies.

Seeking the ultimate truth

Psychic reading is seeking the truth across time. A psychic reader is timeless. He is a journalist, a reporter who has the ability to travel in time and report what is happening in the future.

Fortune telling is a part of magick. This time, you do create across time. Time is not the ultimate truth for you. Instead, time becomes a garden in which you can be a wanderer.

There are tips and techniques on doing psychic reading. There many people doing this online too.

Now, if you want to hear something from the future and want to do it by yourself, all you have to do is concentrate on your subject and try to go out of your everyday mood.

This takes time and you have to educate yourself. Although there are a couple of online courses, the primary source is always you.

You have everything you need within you.

Crystal balls, tarot cards, candles, special clothing, and every other tool is just to put you in the mood and keep there.

I know that it sounds lame however magick is exactly that. You are the magician and you are a whole with the universe. Thus you can change the universe, read the future of it and use it consciously to take what you want or live the experience to want.

You can try free association to read the future. Take a piece of paper and concentrate on your question. Then try to feel like somebody else. That is as if some other you is in place of you and start writing. Write down everything in your mind however silly it seems.

You may find many different things and after training, you will be amazed by the results.
Here will be links to a set of articles that I find useful for magickal practice, tarot readings, psychic readings and alike.
