The workshop vocabulary: a short definition and a practical note for each term.
A definition
Forgetting
The deliberate dropping of a sigil's wording after it is charged, so the conscious mind stops editing the result.
What it is
The deliberate dropping of a sigil's wording after it is charged, so the conscious mind stops editing the result.
In practice
Hide the sigil, destroy the draft, and put the intention out of mind. Keep the record external — a note in a ledger, not a rehearsal in your head.
