There is an interesting theory that floats around, although the name of it has slipped my mind. Essentially, it involved just imagining yourself with your goal. Like money, for example, you’re suppose to see yourself getting the money, the surprise it worked, the fact of you carrying it, the happiness and joy you feel of having it.
One thing Grant Morrison doesn’t explain is the occult secret that all entities are made of the five (not four) magical elements: earth, air, water, fire and spirit (I’m not going into the Chinese versions). The elements have certain properties to them, like cool and dry (earth) or warm and moist (air). It’s also known that these elements exist in the astral, before the physical. Therefore, you’d manifest those qualities by combining certain properties of those elements into some shape or form.
Another thing Mr. Morrison doesn’t mention is the other secret of vibrational theory, where if a string on a piano is played in close proximity to a violin, then the same note will play on the violin. It’s called harmonic resonance. Developing a subconscious link to the element enhances your control over it. Likewise, there’s greater characteristics and qualities to each element. Fire would not only be warm and dry, but also be associated with passion and energy.
When Mr. Morrison had similar experiences with his characters that he created, he stumbled on that harmonic resonance. Unbeknownst to him, he just mirrored some, or perhaps all since I didn’t read the article yet, the characteristics of that character. In a sense, he also just discovered bi-locationality- which is just developing astral senses in regards to an object rather than creating a doppleganger to float around.
One thing that sigils and incantations do is develop a greater link to the entity and the invocant. After a period of time, training and such, you gain a greater harmony between you and the entity. Doing relaxation techniques helps to discover the “hidden” messages to the sigils and seals.

Yes, actually. I went through this phase of opening up my subconsciousness and linking it to various Daedric Lords from the Elder Scrolls series. I had a personal link to Hircine (Lord of the Hunt) and Molag Bal (The Lord of Monsters). Over a period of time, I just let my subconscious pick up their essences and eventually, I mirrored some of them.
Bad part was I incurred the presence of the Watchers. If you don’t know who they are, those are the Grigori-the fallen angels that do Sammael’s work. They basically became adversaries to me and my wants, as most people seem to forget or neglect to mention that Sammael is a Holy Archangel.
I ended up having night terrors, night sweats and a general sense of fear, dread and terror along with impotency after wanting and nearly doing the things I wanted to do while manifesting the powers of the King of Rape (Molag Bal). Clearly, I wasn’t a God but a wayward mortal as I was stricken by fear from those “shadow men.”
I’m glad I know I can do that but at that time, I hadn’t studied the occult like I had done years before. Clearly, those rule s were still enforced and I had forgotten the Law. So that’s my story. Be careful and have fun.
