![]() Once the sigil has been quickened in this way, anybody can use it. There comes a point where a created sigil seems to take on a life of its own. ![]() And when more people used the sigils regularly, they took on a new level of power. After I’d used them for long enough, other people found they could use my sigils and get results. Then I wondered whether they would be as effective for others as they were for me. When developing my own sigils I contacted angels and others spirits for guidance, and worked with those beings to hone and perfect the magick. Could I make something that worked effectively? If others had done it centuries ago, why couldn’t I? ![]() Remembering this, I decided to see if I could make up my own angelic sigils and get them to work. I made them up by instinct, and they worked. But after many years of occult development I recalled that my first few magickal acts were invented. I’ve spent a long time tracking down extremely rare documents, to get to something that appears to be more authentic something that has not been corrupted by centuries of small changes from document to document. But where did these sigils originate? Did the angels hand them down as gifts? Or did somebody just make them up in the hope that they would eventually work? We’ll never know, but we do know that the older sources often yield stronger results, whether they were made up by people or not.ĭue to this inherent power in older magick, I was one of those occultists who became obsessed with finding the most original source for a particular talisman, sigil or word of power. There are many versions of these sigils, and it’s safe to assume that when you get your hands on an older document, you’re getting something that’s more likely to work. The angelic seals found at the center of the sigils in The 72 Angels of Magick, for example, were drawn by people. If that’s the case, is there any reason we can’t write our own rituals and have them become valid? It’s possible, and even probable, that the authors of those ancient documents made up the magick from scratch. This may be true to an extent, but it ignores the fact that magick is always created by humans. It’s often assumed that if you get a really old document, it’s probably more authentic because there’s been less corruption. You will often see magickal workers trying to find the most original and authentic sigils, words of power and spirit names. When you blend history with creative invention, occult workings become immensely effective. ![]() ![]() Emerging from chaos, we combined invention with tradition. As chaos magick began to lose its sparkle, many occultists realized that there is power in magick that has gone before. Can you make up your own rituals, or does magick have to be authentic, using ancient words and images? During the chaos magick movement, it became obvious that you can invent your own rituals and get them to work. ![]()
