Step-by-step procedures: what you need, when to do them, and what can go wrong.
A procedure
Forge a sigil
The full sigil procedure: sentence, reduction, glyph, aspect, charge, hide, forget.
What it is
To make one charged sigil with a record and a close.
At a glance
- When
- The day and hour of the chosen planet where practical; otherwise the day only, noted on the card.
How to do it
- Write the intent as a present-tense sentence.
- Remove vowels and repeated letters; keep the consonant string.
- Draw the glyph, or use the Sigil Forge with a seed and an aspect.
- Write the charge card: intent, aspect, seed, date and close.
- Enter gnosis and charge the glyph.
- Hide or destroy the glyph; keep the card in the ledger.
- Forget the sentence. Do not rehearse the wish.
- At the close, record the result and destroy the card or mark it closed.
What you need
- Paper and pen, or the Sigil Forge
- A Grimoire aspect
- A hiding place
- A ledger
A worked example
Intent: 'I finish the archive before the new moon.' Saturn / Earth, drawn at the Saturn hour, hidden in a drawer, closed at the new moon.
What can go wrong
- The sigil is redrawn or recharged because the result has not arrived.
- The sentence is a wish with no action behind it.
- The glyph is left visible and the wording is rehearsed.
Background
Keeping a record
The charge card plus a ledger line: date, intent, aspect, seed, close date.
