Hey Dexter,
First of all I'm sorry to hear you're going through such a rough time. Kudos to you for realising that magic can be a productive tool for dealing with painful and difficult life situations.
But I'm not at all sure that a simple sigil working is going to be much help in this instance. Based on my experience workings like this seem to be great for certain snappy, easily-articulated needs, like "I will get a job" (as long as you're not too fussed what job) and so on.
When the situation is a sophisticated emotional process, though, I don't see sigils as being necessarily the best way forward.
So you've just been through this really painful breakup. You're feeling a ton of different emotions--you're sad, you're hurt, and you're evidently very angry with your ex. I don't think making her life worse is a very good use of your energy--for one thing, you don't have the greatest perspective right now, and a what seems like a wholly-justified curse might come to look petty and unfair later on when you're more yourself again. Best to leave her out of it and focus on what would help you get better.
Next: the "new romance" spell doesn't seem so wise either. In your current distressed state you're apt to be less than cautious about getting into a new relationship with someone; you could be setting yourself, and your new flame, up for further heartache down the line.
Maybe you need a different approach. Firstly, some people find some kind of grave-dressing activity useful, so maybe a ritual to mourn the end of your romance and lay it to rest would help? Take or create some image or item that symbolises the relationship for you, and have a "funeral" for it.
Secondly, it's easier to recover from situations like this if you have something positive going on in your life. Committing yourself to something too demanding when you're still fragile is not a good idea, but maybe taking up some simple and undemanding practice, with a veiw to maintaining it for a finite period of time at first, might help you? If you like drawing, you could aim to create one small image every day. If you like to write, you could craft a couple dozen words of prose or a few lines of poetry every day. If you're more physical, you could aim to walk for half-an-hour, perhaps exploring bits of your town you don't normally go to. Any of these could easily become a magical act, even the nucleus for a long-term part of your practice.
Anyhow, I hope this has been of some help and that you're on the mend soon. |
