Sigil construction?

Just wondering, if I construct a sigil out of the wish I WANT TO GO TO AFRICA (WNTGFRC), it would bw the same as I WANT TO GO TO FRANCE, no? Is this a problem?

Not if, as you make the sigil, you are thinking about going to Africa.

The sigil is just a way to communicate the information to your subconscious, and if you keep that in mind as you make it, then when you charge it, that intent will be communicated in the way it needs to be. I worried about this when a lot of my sigils started looking the same, so I actually would get a picture in my head while making the sigil and trying to arrange the letters in a way that fit the picture.

This is a good question. Perhaps, this is where your intent comes in?

Maybe, you could be more specific with the region of Africa? It is a big place and if you were to specify a city it would not look like FRance...well, except if you wanted to go to South Africa. Then I would use a city name for sure.

If the sigil was etched on something from Africa it may be more exact. Whatever methods are imployed in magick, I believe the intent is the key to it's materialization.

Helpful?

Yes, "burying" the sigil in your subconscious promotes its effective operation, and yes, this can be kind of tricky to accomplish, especially at first.

I've found that the greater the intensity with which I can manage to imprint the sigil, the more likely I am to pretty much drive it out of my conscious mind. This seems kinda paradoxical, but that's been my experience.

Yous inconscious mind is not like some genie who tries to misinterprete each wish you do (at least on most people, it's not), so, nomrally, qhat you want is what you get. Anyway, having the redaction of the "wish" to be more especific might make it work better
