I was intending to use the linking sigil in my own workings to increase the potency of my own sigils, and also as an experiment since I read that when some guys blasted it many places weird things started to happen and reality glitched.
Now I read a reply on some reddit post warning against using it cause it’s polluted due to the amount of overuse that it has been linked to everything at this point.
What do you think about that guys? and what are your experiences with it ?

I’m not certain as what sigil you’re referring to, but it’s a common report that different sigils bring out different aspects of the same entity.
In general it’s wise not to open every single sigil you find out there, you don’t know the intentions connected with it (even if it’s creator claims otherwise) especially when you know nothing about said creator and if you still insist doing so, always use protection.

This is the sigil I’m referring to : the Linking Sigil of the DKMU
It’s a pretty well known in the chaos magick community “ This symbol is what it says, a sigil to link things together- specifically works of magick, places of power, haunted sites, sacred sites, ley lines, nodes- anything in that vein you can think of really, and all to mutual empowerment.
It tends to not only make the tagged place, or object, or spell More, it’s use also further empowers the web that has grown over the years, thus making it even more effective.
On it’s own it functions as a sort of crack in reality, through which raw magick seeps- first devised to be used for glamourbombing muggles, to weaken the concrete nature of consensual reality by driving a splinter of doubt into their minds, thus making reality more mutable and magick easier. ”

This forum is for all forms of magick and all global cultures - most of us here are not chaos mages, so using jargon from one specific current is unhelpful…
Can you tell us what the the “DKMU” is for those who do not know?
It doesn’t really matter. If you know how magick works, you will recall that the MOST important thing is your INTENTION. You can use the sigil of an totally different entity even, and still get the entity you intended. This is, if the sigil is not already opened with intention like a chaos bomb would be.
My advice is to hold your ground, stand in your power as a mage and command your space.
I don’t see why you even need a linking sigil, it’s sounds a bit try-hard (redundant) to me, but in chaos magick you can create your own sigils to suit, so you have two choices - make your own that you can feel sure about, or insist that this will do the job, and it will, because YOU, the operator, said so.
Either way you must do what it takes to remove all doubt from your mind - if you fear “pollution” even a small amount, you will create it yourself whether it was there or not.

When no one can even agree on what it’s for, it’s usage is going to be unpredictable. It’s not from the amount of use it’s gotten because that would strengthen it. It’s from too many trying to use it in ways it wasn’t meant to be used. That’s assuming that it is indeed polluted. I’m not going to open it to find out

I wouldn’t use sigils from anyone that isn’t me or someone I trust very well. Even here in BALG in the past we had people throwing sigils created with ill intentions for anyone who opened it. A past member specifically worked exclusively with parasites and liked to throw sigils all over the forum that brought forth parasites. We literally had a parasite infestation especially to the neophytes who couldn’t stop opening whatever sigil they found.
From their site “ The DKMU is a loosely knit, non-hierarchical collective of modern occultists, Chaos/Khaos magicians, reality deviants, artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, and others from various backgrounds and countries.”
I feel that’s there are blocks against my magick so I thought that I might need to add some spice to make it more potent since most of my sigils don’t work out well. I’m still developing my astral senses so I can’t really divine to see what’s wrong.
Valid point
Yeah I know about this I tossed out all the sigil magick books after knowing that some authors actually do that.
Oh the DKMU is a forum, more like here or reddit, not a system, or teaching order, and we don’t know what it stands for. Ok.
If you think you need it you already do - squiggles on paper don’t do anything and are not magickal until you or another human a) know they exist and b) decide you will use them, and so it is.
And that is why we now have the 90 day rule. Doesn’t completely mitigate the risk but those will bad intentions show up or don’t have the patience to wait it out, as they’re not joining as members. This guy then got into PMs to ask people for money to remove the parasites - it was a scam.
More common with new sigils and chaos authors. I wouldn’t throw out ALL sigil books - Goetic sigils from the 1500s for example are widely used without incident.
When you get good you can also just handle it - but then when you’re that good you don’t need other peope’s work at all.
That seal is also linked to a powerful spirit with it’s own behavior and personality, called Ellis. If you have the texts of the DKMU Org. (Especially the DKMU Eggregores) they list all the spirits that are known and work to that eggregore, some of them are kinda useful like Zalty, which is very similar to Agwe in Vodou… In fact most of the Spirits in that egreggore seems more like actual spirits/gods than servitors, which mean they used the Seal of Linking/Ellis to seep through and to have more magicians to work with. Ellis for example, is very similar to Pombagira spirits in my country, and they tend to be hot tampered and can both bless and curse.

This is very interesting, honestly I still feel like I want to work with the sigil despite all the warnings.

How nice to find the Linking Sigil in the BALG forum 
. I’m an old DKMU member and can add some more details if needed, but I feel that Kuru already explained well.
Can you tell us what the the “DKMU” is for those who do not know?
In my own words, the DKMU is a network of people who want the world to be a more magickal place . I’m not linking to our pages as that would be against the forum rules.
Originally – around 2005 – two brothers founded the Marauder Underground. “Marauder” is meant in the '“Mage: The Ascension” RPG sense https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Marauder – “Within the bubble of alternate reality that surrounds them, their hallucinations and bizarre rules are real; objects and creatures that come into contact with the bubble are transformed to fit in with its rules.”
Of course that is fiction. In non-fiction “We are the Marauder Underground. Our primary activity is attacking what is commonly known as consensual reality, the dominant paradigm, the mundane world, whatever you want to call it. We cast spells, scribe sigils, summon spirits, and open gateways. […] We use chalk to tag buildings & sidewalks with sigils and goetic summonings. We conjure up spirits and set them loose, leaving in our wake freshly haunted sites. We infect the population with the power of chaos and watch as random magick explodes into the lives of unsuspecting citizens. […]”
Later, two Marauders founded the Domus Kaotica as the “research arm” of the MU. These two organisations then naturally merged into the DKMU – somewhere around 2009 I feel. I only joined in 2010.
Oh the DKMU is a forum, more like here or reddit, not a system, or teaching order, and we don’t know what it stands for. Ok.
So to summarise, the DKMU stands for Domus Kaotica and Marauder Underground. We have a forum (with almost no activity 
) , I wouldn’t say that we “are” a forum. We also have other online places. But the DKMU is the people who do the magick, not the online places, I’d say 
. I can’t say that we have a “system”, but we do have the Godform Wheel that was mentioned, a group of egregores. We have shared texts showing some common approaches to magick. From there, everyone takes what they want, and adds what they want too.

Now to your actual question. The LS has been tagged to physical and astral places for almost two decades now. Beautiful places, horrible places, mundane toilet stalls… However, I’ve been using it for a decade with no negative effect on me that I could tell. It mainly empowers magick .
Traditionally, you use it with filtering. You add it to your own sigil or energy work, and intend a filter, that it should only empower your working, or only wake up this place, and that’s what it does then 
.
If you read old posts, folks will say that it used to cause mayhem. You will find rumours of car accidents on bridges it was tagged. Broken bones 
. You will find lots of claims. Maybe some are true. But this is because it was just unorganised chaotic energy in the first years, or so I’ve heard.
Later, an egregore, or rather a genius loci – a spirit of place – awoke within it. The Red Queen 
, “Ellis” following from “LS”, the Linking Sigil. She now rules the network and focuses the energy towards More Magick, not “random mayhem”. That part I can personally vouch for.
So has it been linked to everything? Yes (though not everything enough 
). Is it thereby polluted? No. I have multiple LS in my home, and my electronics are fine . So is my mood .
Edit: The gods famously don’t need gatekeepers. But what I will say is – treat the Queen with respect. Don’t approach her as a “servant” or anything like that. You probably wouldn’t approach a Goetia demon as a servant either. Know that she wants the world to be more magickal and so wants to support mages in general. But still, be respectful. I vaguely feel that quite a lot of the negative experiences some folks reported, came from approaching her like she “owed” them something 
.

How did you get on with making your town magickal??

With Glamourbombing of course – through activated LS tags.
For example, tagging books and placing them in public book booths.
Tagging stones and placing them in nature.
Sometimes with meaningful messages 
, sometimes just the Linking Sigil . In short, expanding the LS web in whatever ways we can come up with.
