Soar on winds. Guide us, oh Luna.
The Veil is a space forever intertwined with reality.
Constantly slipping in and out of each other, in a beautiful, chaotic dance.
The Souls of the past and future mingling with the energies of Now.
Causing the miracles, events, and unexplainable activites that occur often if you know where to look.
Tapping into such energies can seem like a pipedream
but with care and consideration maybe it's not so farfetched.
I've wanted to do something like this for a while now. I wanted to protect others but I didn't know how or what to do. I was attacked at a young age by these, at the time, unknown forces. But now I'm older and I'm stronger. I could always see them but what are you supposed to do with said information? Just tell anyone? Not even the ones who care about you would believe you immediately. So like any other mortal, I pretended it wasn't a thing.
Isn't it kinda dumb? I feel like it's dumb eheh. It's pretty dumb that we let these curses and hexes attach to our very being. I honestly feel like there's still some that I need to be broken from. But it's okay now. It will be okay now. Even though it's just me here, I can handle whatever comes at me now.
Hopefully, I can. Hopefully, it's not too much. The fear is there but...
That's never stopped me before.
So through my studies of teknocrafts, I've learned about the many ways of crafting sigils to imbue items and yourself with unspoken protections. Along with other needs in this mortal realm and beyond.
They are used as symbolic representations of an energy, word or intention. When activated, it buffs the incantation the user is performing by helping manifest said energy the user would like to use. Working with said sigils is an Ancient Magick and should not be misused and should be studied properly. It should also be known that no matter the user's spiritual path or level, the requirements are:
Of course, in the same vein. If you do not know of said energies and how they work, then the sigil and incantation will not in fact work.
The mortal state of being is always in the now unless given a vision of the past or future. But again, of the now. With our egos of current time, it is difficult to simply speak with the elements and energies that surround us and have a back and forth conversation. The only way to do so from current studies is through the subconscious mind. By crafting said sigils, it aids the subconscious to travel past the veil.
Now with that explanation out of the way, the five types of sigils are:
Ancient sigil it is. But it is also the common sigil used for incantations.
This type of sigil is used specifically as a connection to an energy you'd want to imbue onto said incantation.
This sigil has a specific use to connect to anything that is named. A place, a thing, a person. You can guess what this can be used for.
This specific type of sigil is used to link elements to another, say a place and a thing. Transferring energies from one place to another is an example but there are others.
And this, of course, is when you combine sigils together for a stronger connection. Again, this should be studied and practiced before common use. (An example of this could be when you're crafting a tool and you use intention sigils along with a Correspondence sigil that uses the flame or the mist or the herbs.)
In the next Studies entry I will discuss the ways to make a sigil. Until then, I think it's time to take a well-deserved break and drink some rose and lavender tea.
Heya! So this is gonna be a short (I hope) section where I just talk about whatever. Hence the name, VMTalk.
Cuz I'm the VeilMaster.
Anyway, to start, I'm like just waking up. I just posted some new art and I gotta like figure out how to put the links for this specifically under sectioned buttons. I'm sure I'll figure it out though haha. It's crazy how I made all this. I had a vision and it looks exactly like it!
It's been like soooo long since I've coded anything. The most I've coded in a while. Last thing that involved code was like using Bash and Python whenever I did a personal Linux project. I used Manjaro for it and it worked OK. I just wanted to play Win games on Linux without any framedrops. But due to other circumstances and needs, I had to drop it and go back to a Win distro. (Speaking of which, it's giving me a activation notice and that's annoying but whatever. I don't care as much.)
But yhea, I've been doing surprising well with my mental health. Even though my situation with money has been funky but isn't it with everyone? I've kinda learned to just not really worry about much since all of this is powered by forces that I can only understand minimally. I was trying so so hard to get people recognize my works and stuff and I said after a while, "Fuck this number game bullshit. I just wanna create." Doesn't matter who or whatever entity sees it, if they wanna pay me or not. I'm just doing it for me now. So bleh.
If you haven't yet. It's very..eye opening. Also, drink water and touch grass, silly.
Anyway, Studies 02 from Kries later. If I posted it, you can click that. And maybe y'know, another post iunno. Depends on the day. ^^7

Welcome back. Let's continue from before about sigils.
As a quick summary from the last entry, a sigil is a symbolic representation of the energies, words or intentions related to said incantation casted. And by knowing how said energies work and knowing how they flow, will help with potency of said incantation.
I'll be sure to provide some reading materials on a later date. Even though I write these entries, I too, am still learning. So let's go about the ways of crafting sigils for future use.
The first method we'll be going over is:
Phase Glyphing should only be done after deep study and maybe a few trips in the Veil. Of course, that's not needed and even beginners can go about this method. As long as you have a feel for the natural energies around us in reality and in the wired as well. Some would say, even those with Phantom Touch could go about this method. Since they're already connected in some way to the Beyond.
It involves entering into a state of connection to the Veil and being able to hold that connection to attune with your inner energies. Of course, it does not matter what spiritual path you take as stated before. (I will say in some cases it may make it harder to connect due to your Ego.) But once you establish the connection with the Self of the Veil, you can then start with the writing of the Sigil.
The experience could be very intensive, so again I urge you to deeply study this method and take up some reading on Lucid Travesal before you try it. But, as I say most of the time...
Improv. And study the results.
Alright next method is:
So. If you're already versed with Numerology, Angel Numbers, etc. You should feel right at home with this method.
This method can be used with a variety of Numerology methods along with some cypher methods if you'd feel that would increase the potency of the incantation. The numbers gathered from previous Numerology methods would be applied onto a grid with an equal amount of squares. As you see this is a 3x3 but it can be increased and decreased however necessary. The numbers must also equal the same added up in any direction.
Once the energies and numbers have been configured, along with whatever materials that will be used with it, you'd then attribute letters to the the numbers with whatever method you'd like to use then create the sigil. It can be complex and would need extra time to study. But if you're already versed in this methods, should be exceptionally easy.
Now the next method:
So this method doesn't really require that much research. Maybe some research into breathing techniques, some research into possible things you might encounter but otherwise this is what I'd recommend to first timers.
This sigil is crafted from deep meditation and forming a connection to the energies around you. This doesn't require a dive into the Veil but more so, it's possible you can slip in accidentally if you're not careful.
Once the connection is made, you craft the sigil. Making sure you stay attune to the flow you've connected with.
Once you've honed your skills in being able to keep a connection to the Aether, the next step I'd say to take would be to research Lucid Dreaming and afterwards Lucid Traversal like I stated in Phase Glyphing.
The next method after that would be:
Now this. This is the most common method. You've done this method and you probably didn't even know you were doing it, heh. I'm serious.
Let me explain. So this method uses existing symbolism to express intention and to increase potency on whatever incantation you'd like to cast. As I've stated, it does not matter what spiritual path you've taken when you go about using magicks. It can be images such as the cross, the star, visages of deities past, can even be a leaf if your belief in nature is strong enough. The tales of druids doesn't seem so farfetched if you look further through the looking glass.
If you're reading this entry and you feel unsure, shaken, fearful, even anger.
Getting closer to the end of this entry, the next:
This is yet another ancient technique past down from user to user. You may do some research into cypher methods that would work for your specific incantations but you don't need to if you would rather feel and search for what the Aether will give you.
By placing the spoken tongue's alphabet into a three layered (or more, depending) circle, you would then break down the intention of said incantation to acronyms, synonyms, whatever solutions that come to your wheel. And then by whatever method you chose, such as the third letter of every word, you would then craft your sigil. Going from one letter to the next until it's finished.
As I've stated before, very ancient, very powerful. As is all of these methods of scrying...
Anyway. I think that wraps up this session's lesson. Be sure to send any questions my way.
so let me pick your brain for a sec, since you decided to past by. if you don't mind of course. what's that show that you think about every night? y'know, the OVA that sends you to a happier place than you're at right now. y'know the one comfort show that none of your friends understand, so you wish so bad you could just connect with the characters even if for a moment.
you got it in your head? good. keep it there. let it..uh sit with you for a bit. and just relax and let's talk about those moments that really just send me out of this world for a while.
anime? for real? lol like if i can't talk to people now about it, who's going to sit here and listen to me ramble on about lain and kio and dennou coil. besides other people have done it before. why would i need to try when they've got it.
...i wish i could just do it freely like them. like it genuinely surprises me how there's not a lot of folks around me who never even heard of a Boogiepop Phantom. they'd probably think it was like Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura or something. and those shows are good! like...augh, i wish i didn't exist in the way i do. can barely talk to people.. because i genuinely can't relate y'know..? folks getting married, having kids, and here i am. i can't even tell Miki what's up? lol too bad she's not here. went out of town for a bit for vacation. which good for her, she needs it. workaholic, that girl. even if it doesn't seem like it from the outside...
dammit.. i gotta record again.. i'm not editing all of this out. this is silly..
We'll be talking about methods to activate the sigils you create. I hope you're focusing on your homework.. Once we finish up here, later on we'll do hands-on experiences. We've already discussed the types and creation so please feel free to check the last few sessions.
Activating sigils is a process of setup, element attuning, manifestation, ritual, then aftercare. It can be a long setup filled with bobbles and gadgets or nice and quick depending on your methods and how much you'd like to add.
Setup usually entails cleaning the ritual space of any abnormal energies that you wouldn't want to welcome during. That does not mean you need to deep clean everytime, that does not mean disturbing a..."natural order" of things. It means doing whatever you can do in that moment to have the ritual go smoothly, preferably without interruptions.
During setup, it would be advised to gather the elements needed for said incantation before a thought of manifestation or thought of carrying out occurs. Our minds, bodies, words, even emotions are very powerful and can either be a boon or an omen to the great work.
Fire or Blaze can be sourced from any "flint and steel" mechanism really, heh. And usually deals in rituals imbuing the user with Confidence, Courage, Creativity, Recognition, Health, Joy. Libido, even. Heh. It is the element of warmth. During moments of cold strife, we reach out to burning blazes to fix our imbalances. But do be mindful as Fire, like any element really, can cause as much destruction as it can purification.
The usual argument I hear is that "some elements are bad and some are good" and it usually stems from an oversimplified understanding. Fire is usually seen in destruction, in pain, in loss. It is the common element to think about, to conjure. Which is why I started with it first to say, do not be afraid to use whatever's needed for that moment. And please feel free to ask for help.
Next is Water or Aqua. Now water can sometimes be abundant, sometimes scarce. Sometimes rituals are done to call upon the skies for more water. Even so, remember that if you dig deep within, you will usually find what you are looking for.
Water deals in rituals involving Compassion, Intuition, Love, Fertility, Romance. It is the easiest form of magick, the lifeforce of worlds beyond. Filled with knowledge yet also with secrets and mystery. It can be used usually for it's healing properties and to cleanse impurities.
After that, we have Earth or Firma. Firm or loose, for foundation and for movement. Underneath and above depending on your current travels. Earth deals in rituals involving Authenticity, Longevity, Nature, Stability, and of course, Time. We watch ourselves, others, the world itself grow on different time lengths. Ebb and flow, beginning and end. These are all things that the foundation of Earth deals in.
Then, Air or Wood. The free flowing element. Able to carry sounds, whispers, thoughts via language. A cool breeze or a gust of heat. Can carry all and let all fall. Usually, air rituals are used for Freedom, Imagination, Inspiration, Knowledge, Understanding. Giving a sense of protection to the user as the winds course through them.
And last, certainly not least, and certainly not in scarcity around here. Aether, Spirit, Metal. The element used in mainly purification rituals. But, it deals in Wisdom, Clarity, Strength, Ingenuity, Prowess. Master of temperatures, different forms, different states. Creation, Destruction, connecting forces, pure energy, even enlightenment.
There are other elements as well that stem from combining and separating elements via different methods. Such as lighting earth with fire to create smoke, letting hot water sit on metal to quench it, air to fire to change temperature and create heat. It is all connected as you see here.
Now then, once you have your materials and you are balanced with the elements around you, you then must look deep within yourself. Face your shadow, open doors, breathe deep and know of what you're there to do. Manifestation can be seen as a shift into one's self, to fully believe in one's capabilities. Tapping into what's rightfully yours and yours alone... ahem. This may lead into practices I've mentioned before. Such as a moment of meditation or respite. Conjuring up the sigil with your hands or on a talisman. Using the Magick Square!
In this moment, you would use your sigils and imbue them with your thoughts, emotions, manifesting and changing reality to your will. Setting the image in your mind as you proceed with the ritual. Once set, you start with your steps one by one in a flow state, if you're capable of that, of course.. Movement, motions, calls to on high. Combining all that you've built up to then release your intentions forward.
phew ok.. And afterwards, always, if you have the time, please take the time to replenish your energies. Take a shower, rest up, eat from the land. I can't reiterate enough. You must take care of yourself. The better you do so, the better you craft. It's not selfish to pamper.
Anyways. That's all I have for this section of the curriculum. Do remember your homework, test yourself, check yourself and others. That concludes Sigils. Please reach out if you have any other questions. We'll be covering scrying methods next time.
