If you use this sigil for any purpose other than personal activity, please credit me!

: "I am protected from negative and hostile energies"

» ․ 🧙‍♀️ !! ˎˊ˗ Intent

So, this one is more complicated than the last one. It was actually kind of a pain to make--trying to make the sigil without overlapping the lines to much that I can't see where the lines meet.

The intent statement for this sigil is "I am protected from negative and hostile energies". I like protective magick as a whole and other people are constantly saying that protection magick is one of the most important things, and I agree!

This one is mostly supposed to be on your person, which is why it's an 'I' statement. Again, you can use it however you want.

» ․ 🌈 !! ˎˊ˗ Color association

Now, this one might seen more dull than the other one, but again, I like playing with color magick and I have been obsessed with symbolism ever since I learned what it is, so here's what the colors mean.

Black for banishing negative energies, so that you're safe from hostile beings or feelings, and white for cleansing, to cleanse you of negative and hostile energy.

Discernment is a crucial skill for any magic worker. It’s how we separate the magic from the mundane, reality from our imagination, and reduce the risk of being deluded or manipulated. Everbody already naturally does this a little bit, but actively strengthening the skill can be difficult for a beginner. Here are some tips, tricks, and techniques that have helped me. 

Write everything down. When doing a spell or working with a spirit, keep a written record of what you feel, say, witness, etc. This will help give you something objective to look back on later, which is a huge help for doing any post-research. You never know what details may give you a lead.

Pick a rule for “signs” and stick with it. What do you believe about coincidences? When do you believe something is a message from the Universe or your gods? Create a litmus test/threshhold for what you consider a sign; it doesn’t really matter what it is, so long as it’s consistently applied. That way, you’re saving your energy for the more important stuff instead of worrying/wondering about the small fry. On that note...

The “Rule of Three” (NOT to be confused with the Wiccan Rede.) This is a common discernment method for the concept above. One time seeing something is an instance, two is a coincidence, and three is a message.

When you ask for signs, be specific. Ask for something unique/specific enough that you wouldn’t reasonably expect it to happen anyway, but not so rare that it has no chance of manifesting. Color + Object (ex: let me see a purple feather) is a good method. That way you know exactly what your sign will be. 

The Gut Test. Sometimes when I’m communicating a spirit and I feel like something’s off, I’ll take a moment in my head and think, “this isn’t real. I’m making this conversation up.” Listen to how your gut responds. Does it agree right away? Does saying that feel incorrect, like it’s truly legitimate? Was the conversation legitimate up to a certain point? Listen to your gut and act accordingly. 

The Mimic Test. When working with spirits and “hearing” a voice in your head, try to recreate it with your own inner mind voice. Can you get it to be the same voice? Same volume? If you can, then you’re probably safe writing it off as your imagination.

PRACTICE. Practice. Practice. Practice feeling the energy of your plants. Practice feeling your own energy. Describe it in detail. Practice feeling the energy of any ritual objects. Practice communicating with a spirit you trust, like a guide or Ancestors. Just like a muscle, discernment becomes stronger with repeated use and withers when ignored. Practice on little things to keep you sharp for the big stuff.

A Magic of Advertising

It’s been said by many occult authors who are much better at this sort of thing than I am, that modern advertising is a form of magic — and rather nasty magic at that. Advertisers cast a sort of enchantment over people, or at least attempt to do so, in such a way that people connect their survival, their sexual identity or desires, or their cultural or social well-being, to a specific product or…

It was brought to my attention that I should go ahead and update my triangle of manifestation from paper to something more substantial. As such I've been instructed to do so following a specific guideline.
