FOREWORD

A book on Sigil Magick does an injustice to its

reader if it doesn’t at the very least touch upon the
work and contribution of Austin Osman Spare (AOS),
the father of Sigil Magick.

Unfortunately his books have at times fallen into a

pit of obscurity until rescued by modern occultists.
This is often due to the style of prose he used which
often resembled a stream of consciousness writing
method.

This might have been a function of his beloved

automatic drawing techniques, but even so some of his
work is almost impenetrable without deep meditation
and a good mind map to link together his ideas.
But enough of the criticism. AOS worked at a time
when great powers in psychotechnology converged. The
concept of the unconscious and the theories of Freud
had taken root, the New Thought movement had opened
up an entire market and Crowley stalked the streets
rising up the grades of the Golden Dawn (and finally
destroying it) in his inimitable way.

AOS discarded the systems and secret societies

popular at the time with their rigid grade structure
and dramatic rituals. Instead he developed a system
that required a pen and some paper, not a robe and a
dagger. A perfect system for an artist.

In short, his theory was that a Sigil needed to be

unfiltered by the conscious mind and implant itself
deeply into the unconscious where it would take root.
As the unconscious is connected to the Universal Mind
the desire would become manifest.

This is a very simplified version of his theory and I

feel that I am doing a disservice to AOS in my
explanation. But I want this book to be concise and
practical. For a more robust explanation of the
connection between the different forms of mind I
highly recommend The Apophenion by Peter J. Carroll.

I intend to explore the philosophy and magickal

system of AOS more thoroughly in a future
publication, but the Sigil Magick Codex is not the
place as above all else I want this to be a book of
results. His theory on Angels and Demons is
especially interesting and he outlines a method of
contact with these beings.

It is no surprise that other books on Sigil Magick

have been diluted considering the complexity of the
primary sources. That is not to say that the methods
in those books do not work. Rather that powerful
magick requires more than a quick ejaculation whilst
looking at a Sigil. I’m certain that many people have
had results with this method but I suspect that it is
in situations when the probabilities of success just
needed a gentle magickal push in the right direction.

Real Sigil Magick requires some effort and

dedication. Not at the level of complex rituals, but
the ability and will to carry out a powerful charging
operation and then the employment of some proven
psychotechnology to prevent the Sigil and desire from
pulling on the conscious mind until the result you
intended occurs.

It is simple but not always easy and there are few

steps to complete successfully. Decide on what you
truly want, very carefully craft a statement of
intent, create a Sigil, charge the Sigil and then
forget about it. That last step can cause problems
but I’ll show you how to deal with it using several
methods.
Magick is the technology of putting the odds in our
favour. The methods in this book are simple but
require effort. That is a very low price for bending
reality to our will!

Introduction

Symbols have a long history in Magick. From the

Lesser Key of Solomon to the Grimoire of Abramelin
the Mage, symbols have been imbued with Magickal
Power. Their purpose might be for summoning a demon
or forging an amulet for protection, whatever the
purpose they have always been ‘charged’ through
ritual and design.
AOS takes modern Sigil Magick further, devising a
personal symbology that is intimately connected with
the intention and the practitioner. The Sigils are
not taken from a book but forged by the unconscious
mind to represent a desire or intent.
This was because AOS understood the power of the
unconscious mind and the connection of the
unconscious with a Universal Conscious, what Jung
might term the collective unconscious.
It is through this connection that the magician is
able to manifest his desires and bend reality to his
will. The most potent sigils are those that ask for
change within oneself and it soon becomes clear that
change within oneself can directly cause the external
change that is desired.

For example, it would be foolish to create a Sigil

with the intention of attracting a specific female
and enter a relationship with her. Though that is a
popular use!
The reason that this is a poor intention is that so
many variables have to come into place to cause the
relationship to happen. Even worse, we might find
that the relationship that we find ourselves in is
not at all what we imagined and soon we find
ourselves wanting the relationship to end.
So how should it be done? As an example, you should
set an intention that you become more charismatic and
extremely attractive to females that you feel
attracted to. This way you will have choice, probably
more fun and are not setting overly specific limits
on the outcome.

You’re allowing the Magick to manifest through the

path of least resistance and therefore increasing
your chances of success a hundred times over.

This self-development through Sigil Magick is easiest

and most powerful path, but please don’t let this put
you off. You can set intentions for material changes
or indeed whatever reality that you wish to
experience.

Just have a well-formed and specific statement of

intent that clearly states the outcome and has a
disclaimer about your gain not coming from harm.

Let us bend the world to our will!

Preparations

I recommend a number of items before you get started

in your Sigil Magick work.

A Page a Day diary, a good notebook and a high

quality sketch pad with luxurious paper. It is
important that the latter is of the best quality that
you can afford because it indicates to your
unconscious that what you are drawing is important to
you. It is a small matter but one that I do
recommend.

You’ll be writing your statement of intent in your

diary on the day you carried out your magickal
operation. This is so you can objectively measure
your success and notice any variables that influenced
the positive outcome e.g. structure of the statement
of intent, nature of the desire, time of day. You
could even record the phase of the mood should you
feel it helpful.
This is very personal magick so what works for you
might not work for another. The Magickal Diary
enables you to identify small changes that you need
to make or even adapting the methods for charging a
sigil. I will give you several steps for the process
of Sigil charging and you will find a combination
that works.

Your Magickal Diary is for your eyes only. Never show

it to anyone else. This is not so much for occult
reasons but the possible negative reactions that you
could get from other people. Don’t give them the
opportunity to discuss it with you unless you have
complete trust with that person. A laugh of derision
is a powerful magickal operation in itself.

Although Sigil Magick requires no elaborate rituals,

I do recommend some small forms of psychodrama for no
reason other than to get your unconscious to pay more
attention.
You could designate or purchase a small table that
you will only use for Sigil Magick. Use candles if it
feels right for you. Anything that it outside of your
current reality paradigm will grab the attention of
your unconscious.

If you use the same location to carry out your

operation then that becomes a signal to your
unconscious to connect that environment with opening
communication with the conscious.

You could even do the LBRP before your work if you

feel that it would have an impact.
If the changes that I’ve mentioned just do not feel
right for you then you are under no obligation to do
them. The Sigil Magick will work. BUT I do highly
recommend some changes in your environment when you
carry out your work.
It takes you from a mundane reality paradigm to a
place of possibility.
Statement of Intent

This is the first step in Sigil magick. It should be

the easy part, but often it isn’t. There are very few
people who know exactly what they want. There are
more people who know what they want but wouldn’t want
it if they had it.

Unfortunately this part is up to you. What do you

want? I suggest that you start with something small
that you would like to have but have no overwhelming
desire for. This way as the results come your belief
in Sigil Magick will increase dramatically.
There are some rules or guidelines. Make sure that
your statement is in the positive; instead of ‘It is
my will that I am no longer sick’ turn it to the
positive i.e. ‘It is my will that I am healthy and
full of energy’. I’m sure that this rule is obvious
to many of you but I include it for completeness.

You can start of the statement of intent with ‘it is

my will that’ or ‘I have’, ‘I am’. Test them out to
see which works best for you.

I also recommend that you put an insurance statement

at the end of your statement of intent. End the
statement ‘without causing harm to others’ or
something similar.

You might create a Sigil for more money but you don’t
want it to come from the will of someone you loved
dearly that just happened to die.
I have mentioned it before but I do caution you
against creating a Sigil for another person to fall
in love with you. Not only are there a lot of
problems and variables to be influenced, but you
might end up in a relationship that you don’t want to
be in at all.

I’ll use attracting love as an example statement of

intent:

It is my will that I am extremely sexually attractive

to women that I am sexually attracted to, without
harm to others.

It is my will to be in a joyful loving relationship

with a woman who is extremely attracted to me and I
to her, without harm to others.

I hope that those two examples give you a good idea

how to form a statement of intent. They need to be
carefully worded. Look at the inclusion of ‘joyful’
and ‘extremely attracted to me and I to her’

With just a bit of practice you’ll easily be able to

come up with perfect statements of intent.

It tends to be that changes to oneself that would

bring about changes in reality are more easily
manifested.
Creating the Sigil

There are three steps to creating a Sigil from a

statement of intent: Remove the vowels, remove the
duplicate letters, creating a Sigil from the
remaining letters.

The simplest way to explain is though an example:

Now remove the vowels

Now remove the duplicate letters

This leaves us with the letters: TSMYFNDJWHR

It is out of these letters that we’ll create our

Sigil.
First we’ll use what I call a Primal Symbol; it takes
a lot of the work and complexity out of Sigil
Creation and also makes it simple enough to enter the
unconscious easily:

TSMYFNDJWHR

This part of the sigil can often

represent many letters, which means that our Sigil
does not turn into an unmemorable scrawl. If you look
carefully you’ll be able to see the T,M,Y,S,J,D and F
– with possibly more. So we need to add the NWHR.
And here we have our signal. Some letters may be hard
to see, but I know that they’re there (even if
they’re stylized). You just have to know that they’re
there with your own work. It would have been easier
with pen and paper!
The simpler the better. It does not have to be a work
of art, just memorable with basic shapes.
Charging Your Sigil

Charging isn’t quite the correct word to use for the

operation, but it has become such a common word in
Chaos Magick that I’ll keep using it here for the
sake of clarity. We’re not charging the Sigil in and
of itself with power; we are bypassing the conscious
mind to build a deep rooted Sigil within the
Unconscious.

The most popular method is to gaze at the Sigil when

one reaches orgasm, and then forget about the Sigil
and the desire. I’m certain that people have had some
results from this method as orgasm does induce a mild
state of Gnosis. However, I recommend that to bend
reality to your will that you go several steps
further and give it more investment.

To charge the Sigil we need to create a more powerful

Gnostic state than that created by a brief orgasm
alone. To do this we will use the Karezza and the
Hakalau.
Karezza is masturbation until just before the point
of orgasm. This is performed a number of times. It is
OK to use pornographic images or visualizations
whilst performing Karezza. This simple but not easy
technique is to reach just before the point of orgasm
but to not orgasm. This is repeated 5 times or more.
This induces a powerful state of excitatory Gnosis
which is perfect for our Sigil work.
Hakalau is an ancient technique from Hawaiian Huna
that lets us enter an inhibitory Gnostic state at
will.
After a period of Karezza return to your Sigil. Stare
directly at the Sigil and then let your mental
attention switch to your peripheral vision. There
should be no movement of the eyes, just a change in
attention towards the periphery of your vision.

Do this for 5 minutes.

Now close your eyes and visualize the Sigil which

should be quite clear in your mind. Keep visualizing
the Sigil while you masturbate until orgasm.
After you have orgasmed lay back in what is called
the ‘corpse pose’ in yoga and allow yourself to swim
in the good post-orgasmic feelings. The sigil is now
charged.

You might want to mark the Sigil with some of your

fluid and then burn it.
In tantric practices the retention of semen is
important as it charges the astral body with extra
power. This technique is also use in AOS’s method to
summon a succubus or ‘shadow-woman’ in the dream
state.

For AOS the corpse pose represented the temporary end

of Zos, which we might equate with mundane
consciousness.
In other books you will find a description of the
death posture as a method to create Gnosis. I have
deliberately omitted it from this work because I
believe that the combination of the two methods above
have greater power.

However, if there is demand for it then I will

include the Death Posture in the second edition of
the book.
Remembering to Forget

Now that you have crafted and charged the Sigil we

come to what many consider the most difficult part of
Sigil Magick – keeping the desire and Sigil out of
the conscious mind.

Consciously repressing it is not effective, like

don’t think of a white elephant. But we can keep the
Sigil out of our conscious mind using a few
techniques.

The first is indirect substitution and is

scientifically validated to make subjects consciously
forget whatever they need to forget.
When the desire comes to mind immediately replace it
with another thought. Imagine the Sigil (if that is
what has come into your conscious mind) quickly
fading into the background and turning dark. After
enough repetitions of this your brain will do it
automatically as it has been conditioned to do so.

If the desire or statement of intent appears in your

consciousness there are a couple of options. One is
to use the substitute method again, this time
speeding up the statement of intent until it is
running so fast it is illegible. I find this to be
very effective.

The third option is to ‘feel’ that the outcome has

already happened when anything about the Sigil pops
into consciousness.

You need to try out all these methods to see which

(or which combination) works for you.
There is a method that is a long term solution and
completely eliminates the conscious mind problem.
That is a meditation technique called Vipassana.

In this approach it is not the thoughts becoming

conscious that is an issue, it is attachment to the
thoughts themselves.

It is also a meditation that helps in every area of

magickal and psychological development.

The basic technique is to watch your thoughts like a

flowing river, allowing them to pass through your
conscious mind. Instead of becoming attached to a
single thought we observe all thoughts arise and pass
and therefore we have no attachment to them – without
that attachment the thoughts are given no energy and
seep back down into the unconscious.

Out of all possible techniques the latter is the one

that I recommend most highly. Not only does it solve
the problem of ‘forgetting’ the sigil and desire (by
giving them no conscious energy) it leads to mental
and spiritual growth and will be so useful if you go
further in your magickal path.
Afterword

This book is currently in its first edition.

Inevitably there will be some mistakes and omissions.
You will be sent a free digital copy of the second
edition which will be expanded with more philosophy
and magickal methods of AOS.

You are welcome to come along to the forum to ask

questions or share your success stories. The forum
isn’t as pretty as I would like it to be but for now
it serves its function!

I hope that your Sigil Magick goes well, though this

is a relatively short book it contains all you need
to know for your successful magickal operations. I
have deliberately removed any padding so that you can
get straight into creating your own reality.

I have not seen the specific methods in here in any

other book. Please respect that and do not share with
others.

This is powerful magick and needs to be in the right

hands.
