You can't get any easier than a sigil.
Make a statement of intent like, "I will get laid." Draw a little picture that represents your statement of intent. Then charge it by jerking off to the picture and 3-4 days later you should have gotten laid! (or a pack of cigarettes ::shrugs:

I already know it (I read GM).
But I don´t know...Is it dangerous?
What are the implications?
how far can you reach??

It's only dangerous if you aren't careful about how you word it. If you say, "I want to come into a large sum of money," but don't specify how you get rich, then you might be upset about how it happens. You might find yourself in a car accident, and win a huge lawsuit but spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. But, according to the theory, that isn't the likely result. It just happens to be one way the sigil would work if you don't specify that you don't want anyone to be seriously hurt in the process.

It's really not dangerous at all, as far as I can tell.

I don't know. Tell us how your experiments go. Do some that have really amazing goals mixed in with some more mundane ones. Maybe the tasks you might think of as far-reaching are actually easier. Maybe not. I'd say it has more to do with you than the sigil itself.

Sigel casting charges energy to work for you towards a given intent. It is a force that pushes on reality, to try to make something happen. It is however, only a force. It influences, it does not guarantee. Though in theory with sufficient energy, anything is possible...

If you are really worried about safety, go general or abstract. For instance, wish for luck, good health, or fortune. Don't specify how it arrives. This may affect your life in some small positive way.

Though given, trying to make it rain a week from thursday is a lot more fun

Make your first sigil, "I don't want to ever go blind."

Then wank like you've never wanked before!

"Jerking Off"

Gender inspecific: Reach right down between your legs- you know where I'm talking about.....
Grab it or touch it- both. It's the very holy Grail you can't avoid. Work that S.O.B. however it seems best. When it feels good, you know you're on the right track. When it feels 'dirty,' well, even better.
Stroke it 'till you scream. Let your roomies see you nekkid, let 'em first wonder what's gotten into your head, then let 'em wonder what you're packin' down below. If they come too close- show 'em!
If it ain't weird, you're not doing it right.

I've just been looking over the notes of the one's I've done recently, and it's quite interesting to note things that have come about. Quite a few haven't, and it's impossible to say whether or not these were just outwith the realms of possibility entirely - where even sigils can be of little help.For instance, I sigiled to find some notes I made ages ago, which could well have been destroyed by now. I also did it in the hope of a tv appearance for the obscure magazine I work on - no sign of it yet.
I recently did one that I would meet up again with a girl I knew briefly about 4 years ago, who was doing work experience at my work, and who I got on really well with - another meeting being an unlikely scenario for various reasons. Then, last night, I met her dad, who I probably bump into once or twice a year - who I've always felt doesn't like me - and he said she had mentioned me recently and wanted to get in touch - could he pass on my phone number and stuff - weird.

Oh well, still interested enough to carry on experimenting.
You're probably best to try out with something that's not so mundance that you won't even notice if it's happened -like buying cheese at the supermarket or something - but not so dramatic that you'll dwell on it and stymie the process, like winning the lottery.

O.K. I can hold my own when it comes to the jerkings off, and I will be giving the expt. mentioned at the top of this thread a try quite soon. Can anybody recommend any reading resources for this sort of thing?

There's a whole slew of stuff here. I've been researching it myself recently. While I was checkin stuff out, a weird thought crossed my mind- how about making a sigil for any anomalous stuff thats happen to me recently- sort of priming the pump... I know it really makes no sense but any thoughts?

How big should the sigil be? I have never thought about this question. The magic takes place within your own mind, so it doesn't technically matter how big it is. But I can't say there wouldn't be different results from painting the side of a building with a sigil and simply using a small scrap of paper. Or draw it on your body.

"If I want to fuck...?" I'm not sure what you mean to ask here. Having sex is another way to charge a sigil. Masturbation is only one. So is dance, meditation, etc. If you want to use a sigil for the purpose of having sex, give it a try. That shouldn't be different than using it for anything else.

The statement does not need to be in a loud voice or a voice at all. You need to get yourself in a different frame of mind. A loud voice might help you do this. But quiet meditation may be more effective for you. Perhaps quiet meditation followed by a startling, loud voice will help charge the sigil.

Out of curiosity, how many of you destroy sigils after charging, and does evyerone forget the intent before charging?
 
 
Warewullf
11:48 / 26.09.01
Yes and yes.
But then, I haven't had a sigil work for a while, so i would'nt go by what I say!
I did away with the more ritualistic aspects of it and they stopped working for me.

So next time, it's a quiet room, magic circle and banishing for me!

Sometimes I keep them in a notebook if its one I want to reuse. Otherwise, they get pitched. Always, I banish the image and intent from my mind, to let the magick do its work. The scrap of paper left behind isn't so important, nor its method of disposal, as long as I don't look at it anymore after I'm done with it.
