Interesting, cue5c. I never considered that a good memory could impede Sigilwork.
Either you can make a lot of Sigils at a time in hope of forgetting one or two and then affirm that you won’t remember, or maybe you could make mantras out of your Sigils instead. I’ll have to think about this one.
This technique really doesn’t seem to have any magical aspects about it… It is just modified autosuggestion but i do believe that it could work hell i’ll give it a shot.
So… when you say “destroy” the sigil do you mean completely disavow any knowledge of it ever existing? I burned it and then promptly paper shredded it and cannot remember a single thing about what I wrote.
Perfect, Hurricane. Burning, slicing, and otherwise mutilating the Sigil will suffice. If you can’t remember what it looked like or what it was for, great! Your work is done.
Is there any scientific reasoning behind this? Although I didn’t get an LD last night, I have a very vivid ND and was close to lucidity. /me always demands scientific reasoning.
It works because it raises confidence, uses both Visual/Mantra-based Subconscious Messaging that make it better than MILD IMO, and the Placebo Effect. Usually one of these three factors cause spontaneous LDs, and once you have your first, and your belief that you can actually Lucid Dream is there, you will experience a higher frequency. Forgetting it also prevents people from trying too hard and spoiling their results.
Yep, that seems reasonable. Actually, after I “charged” my sigil and burned it, I’ve been having vivid life-like dreams every night in which I have full control. I used to always hear stories of ,“WHOAH this method really works!” But I’ve actually had the best success with this. It’s as if I tricked my body into believing I WILL have vivid lucid dreams every night.
Fantastic that my method ended up helping you with your Lucid Dreams!
I’m currently experimenting with a variation I call WBTS. Wake up early in the morning, make a Sigil, charge it, and go back to bed. Because you created it in the Hypnopompic State when your SC is active, it would work immediately. When you wake up you will have already forgotten it.
I’m wondering, how well do people think it would work if I tried this in conjuction with WBTB?
If I make the sigil during the day and then when I wake up (I’ll be pretty much in gnosis anyway) I’ll charge it and then annihilate it and then go straight back to sleep.
mayhap I’ll try this at the weekend.
(sorry if someone mentioned this earlier, long post + bad real life memory!)
I used food colouring and painted it on to rice paper, this is gonna be the tastiest Magik ever.
Looks good too, it almost seems a shame that I’m going to have to eat it and then forget it ever existed.
Maybe it needs more sugar? and some of those little silver balls?
