You see, this is one of the reasons why I think the chaos magic sigil method, contrary to popular opinion, is actually a bit shit as a gateway drug to magic. The emphasis on statement of intent and exact wording tends to create these absurd situations where people tie themselves up in knots over stupid stuff like this, placing you in a headspace that's a fair distance from where you ought to be if you want this stuff to sink in fully and start working for you. Results magic is a primal business. Black candle on the enemies photo smeared with blood. Witch bottle filled with iron nails and urine. Handfuls of dirt and meat and bone. Get your conscious self and what you want out of the picture and operate with the primal animal bits of you, the lizard brain, the root of your being.
The more you piss about with the exact wording, the more you fret over the minutia of procedure, the further away you get from being "in the zone" to make strong conjure. I mean, if you followed your current line of enquiry to its logical conclusion you would be employing a team of lawyers to look over the wording of your statement of intent before you do anything, to make sure there's nothing there that "the universe" might misinterpret. It's absurd. Magic just doesn't work like that. It doesn't read the small print, and the more small print and clauses you try to put into it, the more you muddy the issue of what your doing and the less likely it is that your intent will get through at all. It's a blunter, more brutal instrument than you seem to think it is. Yes, there are ways and means of applying tighter precision, but for what you seem to be doing, you don't really need to worry about that too much. You want it blunt. You want it primal. You want it to work.
Your conscious, everyday, waking self is trying to run the show, and that part of you is not the magician. So you need to get that guy/girl out of the way for a bit if you want this to work. Why not keep words out of it altogether. You want prosperity magic? Walk out of your house right now. If you live in a City, go to the financial district. Walk around and look for 7 items that represent wealth drawing to you. It may take you more than one adventure to get them all. Be open to possibilities. It could be a coin found on the street. It could be dirt from the grounds of a bank. It could be a photo of a successful business. A bit of overheard conversation to use as an incantation. Whatever. Let it happen. Let it emerge.
When you feel you have all of your items. Bind them together in a green cloth bag. Feed it with liquor. Burn three or seven green candles around the bag over three or seven nights. Sit with the bag. Whisper to it. Tell it what you want. These are just guidelines. Get creative. Make it yours. Discover your own personal unique way of making magic work. Discover it by doing it, experimenting, letting it emerge naturally out of the work. Stop worrying. Trust yourself and the magician inside you to take care of business.
Now go to it. |
