ok, i’ll post.
last week sunday (november 23rd) i had a call with nate where we went over my problems doing evocations. i let him read my notes from here and he showed me how to do sigil magick properly. i actually wanted to learn to do full evocation, but i guess my notes led him to believe that sigil magick was enough, and in fact he said when you do sigil magick properly, it is very powerful.
i took careful notes when he was talking. i still have my notes. a lot of what he said was actually very familiar to me, much of sigil magick comes down to autosuggestion forms in hypnotism, which i have been saying for months on here. he does a few small steps differently than autohypnosis would be done, but they’re very telling.
the next day i went back over the autohypnosis methods i learned from the rogue hypnotist, igor ledochowski, and mark desade. you don’t find that many people teaching strict autohypnosis - those are the three autohypnosis methods i know of besides autogenic training, which i take as the root of my own self-hypnosis work.
i wrote my own notes down as the following for autohypnotic sigilization:
i. hypnotic interview
i.i define the problem and solution
ask yourself trh questionnaire with metamodels for detail. find your problem matrix
define smart goals. write prehypnotic suggestions (hypnotic + posthypnotic with trigger/cues)
i.ii give yourself role permission
the only creator is you and your spirit team. create a focus sigil
i.iii give yourself process permission
set up on a tabletop. get into position
ii. hypnotic process
count to 33. reread suggestions and posthypnotic suggestions from a cue card 33x. count down from 33 to 0
photofocus the sigil. open your peripheral vision and breathe
tgs flash/spin: call the spirit, wait for a sign
repeat erik’s first chant until blank out. call the spirit, wait for a sign
say erik’s second chant until you blank out. call the spirit, wait for a sign
sigil becomes a doorway/hole.
say erik’s third chant until you blank out. call the spirit and wait for a shadow around/behind you
welcome the spirit. give your hypnotic suggestion and posthypnotic suggestion with trigger cue
visualize it as a movie scene around you, or as a hologram
push the scene/hologram from your mind into the sigil
give your hypnotic and posthypnotic suggestions with trigger cue again
return when you are ready and disengage
iii. lesser magick/outer game
put the sigil away
forget about the whole thing and let it happen on its own
i then spent my spare time on monday to wednesday going back over the rogue hypnotist’s 6 books to pull notes and double-check everything i learned from autosuggestion, autogenic training, and from nate. it turns out that everything i learned works together, i just needed to pull a few things together a bit more, namely the hypnotic interview section is something i had not taken the time to really do properly, i like most magicians just grab a sigil and jump right into it. however, planning is important.
i also threw damon brand’s cashbook in the garbage. it may work, it amy not work. i don’t know. but it wasn’t working FOR ME. i wasn’t getting the result i wanted and i’m not interested in asking why it didn’t happen. i want things to happen. so that thing is now trash.
and i deleted all of my mastering evocation videos from my ipod and threw out most of my grimoires. no more spiritual security blankets to do ‘research’ on. no excuses to procrastinate. i’m either doing magick or i’m putting it away. no more halfway shit. it’s do or done with time.
thursday night i did my first sigilization ritual using this info. i used a firma for bechard (exu dos ventos) from frisvold’s book exu and did the method outlined above. i fell asleep while doing it. friday was a lot lighter for some reason and again for some reason i didn’t eat anything all day friday, i was just drinking water.
friday night i decided to do ANOTHER sigil evocation. this time i called paliay, kuliay, and toliay from the inugan prophecy and did the rite of pinu, 3rd level. i used the full candle layout of having 12 red and 12 white candles in a hexagram around me, and i used my radionic machine as the altar with my request written out on top of it. i kidnapped a friend’s key and did the rite in a store. i live on the street and it was the first ritual i have been able to do INSIDE in years, almost every other ritual i have had to do i was forced to do outside, which isn’t easy because i live in canada and it gets fucking cold here in the winter. i was up until almost 4am friday night doing that ritual and it felt pretty powerful. just like erik said, i felt the spirits coming to me from BEHIND me, not materializing in front of me. also, they came quickly, while i was still calling them. that is usual with me. i am going to have to learn to not go through with the formalities when the spirits come because i find they end up coming before i am finished calling them. the whole time they were there my head was buzzing so i know they heard me. however, we will see how it all plays out in real life. just because it felt powerful doesn’t mean a thing. all i care about is RESULTS.
the same things i have dealt with before happened on friday night. one, i changed what i was asking for halfway through the ritual. two, when i went to photocopy two pages from the grimoire, i ended up accidentally printing a perfect copy of the entire thing. so i am guessing the spirits in the grimoire still like me and want me to work with them. i now have a perfect working copy of the grimoire, my first copy in over 3 years and my 5th overall copy of the thing. at first i was like what in the actual fuck? then i was like, no, this is serendipity, it’s not just a mistake or a snafu, it was meant to happen. three, my eyes went blurry during the ritual, so all the gazing that erik said to do was not going to fucking happen. i actually did most of the ritual looking at burning paper instead of looking at the candles. i didn’t structure a thing in the smoke even though it was THICK. as a matter of fact, i would like to try it again using my copal incense which i didn’t have on me, and this time i’d like to really try to evoke properly and structure IN the smoke. i was extremely tired all saturday because i didn’t get a chance to sleep and was groggy the entire weekend. we will see if the ritual pans out or if it was just a bullshit exercise.
saturday night i did ANOTHER ritual to bechard using my radionic machine as an altar, but i was just too fuckign tired to concentrate on anything. again i fell asleep before i got full contact. had a bunch of dreams but nothing memorable.
sunday i did another ritual again, repeating the one i tried to do on saturday. this time i added another sigil from the greater key of solomon to the firma for bechard. this time i DELIBERATELY went to sleep when i felt myself drifting.
i will tell you that the part of counting to 33, repeating a request 33 times, and then counting back down to 0 is VERY powerful for focusing your mind. it is the autosuggested way of doing hypnotic and posthypnotic commands before you go into trance. when you actually go into trance, you are supposed to just kind of drift to where you want to go. having said that, i am still looking to structure and see visions and hear words while in trance. i paid a lot for mastering evocation and i want it all, PLUS the results.
this BALG thing is NOT an emotional massage parlor. i am here to get full real-world results. i am not willing to settle for confirmation bias or imagined delusions. i want results i can measure and know hey, I DID THAT. that is why i am not posting anymore. it’s PUT UP OR SHUT UP TIME. i do not want to hear about maybe, almost, or if only. i want results or i want out.
next time i post up here will be AFTER i get results i can count on. not before. not during. AFTER. if i don’t get results like i want, there’s no reason for me to be here. and i’m not giving myself the shortcut of hanging around here waiting for something to happen. i will only post up here AFTER i get what i want.
i am going to use my sigilization method this week and we will see what happens.
as far as i’m concerned, this is my last post here. i will be back IF i get serious results from doing my magick. if not, it was nice knowing you all.
