Repeatable practices: what they do, what goes in, what comes out, and a worked example.
A practice
Sigilisation
Condense a sentence of intent into a glyph, charge it, then hide it and forget the wording.
What it is
To make one clear intention into a small, repeatable object that can be carried, hidden or destroyed.
At a glance
- Inputs
- One sentence; a pen or the Sigil Forge; a Grimoire aspect; a state of gnosis; a place to hide the sigil.
- Outputs
- A glyph, a charge card with the date and the aspect, a record line, and a close.
How to do it
Write the intent as a present-tense sentence. Remove vowels and repeated letters. Draw the remaining letters as one glyph. Choose an aspect to mark the card. Charge the glyph in a state of gnosis, then hide or destroy it. Forget the sentence on purpose; keep the charge card in a ledger instead of rehearsing the wish.
A worked example
Intent: 'I finish the archive before the new moon.' Saturn / Earth. The glyph is drawn at the Saturn hour, hidden in a drawer, and the card records the close: burn it at the new moon.
Variations
- Use the Sigil Forge and keep the SVG with the card.
- Draw the glyph by hand and photograph it; the photograph is the working copy.
- Make a series of seven, one per day, and charge only the last.
