Over the past few weeks I’ve used a few sigils for various long term purposes (protection, strengthening of friendships) and I’m not sure how much is too much.
I concentrated my will on self made sigils, and burned them after the ritual so it may serve its long term purpose. This makes me wonder what people exactly mean when they say you shouldn’t have more than 3 sigils open at a time.
I certainly don’t feel as if there are any conflicting energies around me, but just for the sake of clarity; Am I missing something?
I rarely burn my spirit sigils. I do burn my chaos magick sigils after I charge them and send them out. As far as I’m concerned I want the spirits to stay in my life or I wouldn’t have called them.
Edit: Didn’t answer your original question sorry. A burned sigil would be considered closed if you intended the act of burning to be the end of its use.
If they’re not for ongoing projects, you may want to burn them or otherwise dispose of 'em. I’ve seen quite a few testimonials to feeling more clear-headed and like a psychic weight was lifted after getting rid of open sigils that were laying around. Energy needs to be directed and unfocused energy can be detrimental if you let it build up.
