So I am a little worried that the woman that I dreampt about is going to find me…

[The Ray]

…and that would make my life infinitely more complicated than it is now.

Quick explanation: I kind of empowered my sigil to find the woman that was in my dream, who I don't know and am sure doesn't exists and who is not my partner, and now I'm terrified that she is real, does exists, and I will run into her and feel very weirded out by the whole thing.

I am an odd person.

I have no idea what any of that means, but I could really go for a cookie right now.

Ice Cream for me.

[Cam63]

I'll have a beer ice cream with a cookie stuck in it.

that's not a cookie dude....sorry

[Cam63]

Don't mock my cookie making attempts.

Here's something that you might enjoy. A recepe on how to make beer cookies:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1-1/4 cups room temperature beer
1/2 cup walnut halves

Cream together the butter or margarine and the brown sugar. Cut in flour, baking soda and spice. Blend in beer slowly to form a soft dough.
Drop by teaspoonfuls and top with a walnut piece. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350º until lightly brown
Cool one minute on cookie sheet and remove to wire rack.

According to the reviews they taste terrible. :biggrin:

[Cam63]

I'll just have to make do drinking the most important ingredient.

[Alan Lynch]

I tried making beer ice lollies once. I wouldn't recommend it.

[Michael P]

I empowered my sigil, too. Now I have to go wash my sheets.

[Ben Morgan]

Why not just pour beer in the cooking batter?

[RachelEvil]

You "kind of" empowered it?

Well that's what you get for playing with Chaos magic. It never quite works the way you think it is going to.

You better hope she's not dead or you just pulled a "monkey's paw".

Haha.I kid. Maybe. For all you know, you may just wind up with a novel in which she's a character.

What was the exact focus behind your sigil? To find her? To meet her? To hook up with her? To run into her on the bus?

I would suggest that wording matters if wording was used at any point (ie. generating the sigil, chanting, as a mental mantra).

I would suggest that... IF chaos magick was real. And I'm not saying it's not. And I'm not saying it is.

I think there's something to be said for certain kinds of meditative thinking and that words and symbols are powerful. However, buy into it fully and you risk becoming a subcultural stereotype. I would prefer to think of it as actualization and affirmation rather than sorcery.

My experience in these matters suggests that what perceptual mode you assign yourself to affects these things.

Being afraid of a bunch of hocus pocus can taint the experience.

And in my world, these things play out a bit legalistically. Be precise in what you want. If I had a guardian djinn, it would definitely be one of those genies who tries to screw you on wishes by using the exact wording. Not so bad as to make your wishes fatal but to give you "no more and no less" than what you say you want.

I empowered my sigil, too. Now I have to go wash my sheets.

I'm not sure that what you wrote here is as much of a double entendre as you think.

Washing the sheets is to Chaos Magick what doing a hail mary is to Catholicism.

When somebody talks about charging a sigil, I'd assume we're talking tantric autoerotica. Not that it has to be but it's a popular way for a lot of people to clear their heads and it doesn't require much athletic effort, assistance or props.

One reason I'd probably avoid using the phrase "charging my sigil" altogether in public.

Well that's what you get for playing with Chaos magic. It never quite works the way you think it is going to.

C'mon, I don't think the kid needs a lecture in responsibility.

PLAYING with anything is fine. It's USING things that'll bite you on the butt.

And, y'know, I will say that this thread, at best, will become a joke thread.

No offense to The Ray. The crowd here is mostly agnostic and atheist with liberal smatterings of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

You're more likely to get a thread about a literal seven day creation taken seriously.

And I don't think you'll get even close to the level of respect or tolerence from the atheists, agnostics and skeptics as a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Zeus-worshipper, Discordian, Scientologist, Nature Worshipper or Jim Jones cultist would. Even if you subscribe to one of these beliefs in addition to your magicks.

Heck, you're lucky not to take a verbal beating for using the "K" to distinguish yourself from stage illusions and Disney princesses and level 70 warlocks.

Hence the name, I guess.

Maybe not the way you do it.

[PatrickG]

Yeah. Well. You can play Gameboy games on a Super NES if you have a Super Gameboy adapter.

But the big advantage of Gameboy is that it's portable. ;)
