Been hunkering down, going through a magickal woodshedding session, trying to figure out how to make my magick more efficient, practical & effective.

IIH Immersion: I’ve kinda taken a pause on progressing through IIH and really just take my time polishing the techs I feel most beneficial for me; like more understanding of the elements, or being able to connect to other beings. Recently, my clairvoyance skills has really gone up a level; in that half sleep state, I’m able to hear the thoughts of others that pertains to me – quite interesting experiences, I haven’t been able to replicate it at any event however.

Clients: One more client to go. The last one I was working with kinda ended abruptly and while I have mix feelings as to the desire, I did my best w/ the working I prepared for him. I even sacrificed a magickal tool of mine that I’ve been saving for years, for a special event, and used it for the clients ritual. While I am on the edge regarding the result, the scientist/magus in me wants to see results.

Misc: Been re-reading some old ChM texts, trying to re-inspire the “mad” scientist/mage inside of me. Somewhat working. The problem is time and energy. Work has been going at me and the mental fatigue it causes me tires me considerably, I don’t want to quit and probably wont but I have to find a solution to this.

TOHO Happiness Sigil Project

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. – 1 Corinthians 13:4

I wrote about how the collective I work with planned on doing a magickal charity of sorts by giving back to the community and the people in general by spreading some happiness around via sigil magick – how we implement it is up to each person.

I decided on 2 ideas which centers around the old neo-chaote idea of magickal glitterbombing, except in a much wider sort of area effect type spellcasting. I got the idea of the area effect spell from a Penzcak book but instead of using it for protection, I modified it for happiness.

The idea is to cast a wide effect happiness spell that covers 2 major blocks of where I live, I’m pretty much smack in the middle of this area. I pretty much printed the picture about, charged it, and released it to the aether. That covers the macro aspect of this spellwork. I didn’t devote too much time charging since the each practitioner taking part on this project is charging already and this sigil shares and manages the energy it receives from all of us.

For micro enchantment, I decided to go old school and spread physical links all over the neighborhood.

Burnt ashes from charged sigils being released in the air, drawing the sigil on my hand and making sure to physically shake or touch as much people as possible,

and my favorite inspired pieces which I just decided out of the blue and was drawn to doing it spontaneously.

Did this in the bus shelters on the middle of the winter storm. If there was a day that needed some happiness being spread around, this was the day.

I really enjoyed this project, I felt this was somewhat a much better way of doing charity. I don’t mind giving money to charity but sometimes, it doesn’t feel as heavy as when you actually get your hands dirty.
