Engineer your very own 2002

14:40 / 17.12.01

Ok, towards the end of 2000 I created a batch of sigils with different intents but all aimed at shaping my 2001. I left them in a little box in my room. Then on the last week of 2000 (I had forgotten which sigil was for what) I charged one a day until the 31st.

Now, at the end of 2001 I have to say that it's almost fucken creepy how I've manipulated the year (on a personal level of course. I had nothing to do with this war!) It's like a New Year's Resolution only you create a sigil for each. And let's be honest who here doesn't forget their resolutions by mid January? It's perfect! Also since you're giving yourself a year to work with it gives the sigil much more time to sink into reality and manifest...or whatever. So I've since created another batch of sigils aimed at 2002 and I was wondering if any of you'd like to try it. Remember leave the big stuff to the peace mango this is personal and you have to be a bit selfish. What do you want your year to be like for YOU?

What do I want for 2002? Easy.

I want a brand new record in the charts. I want it played on Top of the Pops, "performed" by a fake DJ and a gaggle of incredibly attractive teenagers dancing thier cute li'l buns off.

I want twelve-year-old girls at bus stops singing it. I want dustmen to whistle it in the morning, I want MPs to misquote bits of it at press-conferences in a lame attempt to look cool.

And the question will be asked: Hang on. If the guy on the decks didn't do this song, and those sweeties dancing in front of the guy on the decks didn't do this song... who did it?

And they'll look around, and it'll be a bunch of assorted chaos magicians and a fat bald Goth chick.

Bwahahahaha.

It's a great way of working sigils...using the equivelent of a little magic box to throw your wishes in...and then pulling them out now and then and charging them not knowing what they are...

i used a similer technique a while ago when i was creating sigils on the computer a lot...create one every now and then and put it in a folder with a random 'jjhjshgdfh.jpg ' type title...then later print a random one out and charge it...works preety well...

Let's see now... I want a job that's right for me for starters...
and...

Thanks for the idea!

I took my standard Rider/Waite Tarot out; separated the Aces into one pile, the pips into a second, and the Major Arcana into a third. Drew one card from the pips. This gave me the number of Major Arcana to pull. I pulled x Major Arcana, and then cross-referenced their Hebrew letter equivalents. Combined the x Hebrew letters into a sigil. I just kinda wanted to randomise it a little more, and make it easier for myself to forget what my intent was.

That's a great, really great idea. I'll do this, and tell you about the results.

Thanks a lot, impulsive.

That's a great technique, actually... I like to do the odd sigil batch when I'm in the mood and then charge them some weeks later when I can't recall the meanings. (Word of caution: some ppl suggest that this technique fragments your energies. Or something.)

Can you elaborate on this, Mordant? I'm curious because I just made my first batch of sigils two days ago, and my mojo has been kinda funky today. Of course, it could just be seasonal depression, as I get that too.
