My Avatar Sigil, Doesn't do anything nasty, just so you know! Options

Hey guys,
I've seen some different sigils/symbols used as people's avatars on here, and have wondered what some of them do.

The green sigil in my avatar is one of the sigils in the circle for my servitor; I'm experimenting with what I've been reading about putting sigils in different public places in order to draw more power for them...I'm assuming that this works in a similar way to what Darkmage said once about putting the Goetics' seals in airport restrooms, etc.

My servitor has at times wanted feeding quite a lot, and I'm hoping that this will create a distributed way of doing it which will still give her the energy she needs, but at the same time not draw too much from any one particular point/person. It will also hopefully mean that I don't have to quite so often feed her myself, since she will be getting energy from other sources as well.

My goodness gracious!
Some energy 101 is needed here. Though I understand the premis of attention saturation with symbols, it ends up being far more complicated in its simplicity. Let me explain...
By posting said symbol in many places (btw, public restrooms is NOT a good idea) you will, in fact, glean random energies from people gazing at it. BUT, unless you have a filter on it (actively working) then you will get ALL kinds of psychic energy from good power down to sludge. You don't want sludge. You'd have to wade through it to get to anything of note. Learn to cultivate your astral senses. You will elevate yourself and your purposes immeasureably. You will also note the incredible amount of astral crud is floating about. This ties in to your perceptions of your servitor. You can't have a servitor without giving it a form as well as purpose. Right now it is only an animated thoughtform, whereas a servitor has definitive purpose and form. Read Bardons Initiation into Hermetics about the formation of an elementarie. Chaos mages have been publishing much crap on this subject...too much actually. They fail you in any number of ways. Ever hear of the phrase, "Form follows Function"? Now if I were to create a servitor that I want to use as a Watcher, a simple ball shape will do. If using the sigil method I would formulate my intent into a phrase and then boil that down to a sigil which I would then empower and give shape to. I can then send my servitor (I really hate that name...but to each their own) off to perform their function. The more abilities that the servitor has, the more complex becomes his sigil and power needs. Bardon cautions us to keep it simple and not exceed three elements in its making. You never want to empower a servitor with free will. That is dangerous and this would be another thread entirely.
If you can't imagine the shape of your servitor you will only get mediochre effects if anything. Clarity of vision be it astral or mental is key to this process. Practice visualization exercises as often as possible. Servitors can be empowered by a. the personal life energy of the maker, b. the ambient energies around you, c. the charging with the energies of a specific source or d. the combination of the other three.
(I'm sure a member(s) will step in here to add and/or correct my feeble articulations) Making a servitor with a definitive lifespan is important...especially with the complex ones who will tend to try an become independent after awhile. When you create life it becomes harder to reabsorb the life and that is a reason for keeping servitors simple. Besides, why do you wish to litter up the astral with your half-baked constructs? Ick. (or Gakk, your choice! :-) )
The Swastika is a fine example of a symbol absorbing enough energy to glom on sludge. The Nazi's utilized the reverse fylfot but many people don't know this, hence ALL swastikas are representing some fairly horrendous things.
It is OK to create batteries or vortices of power to help energize your servitor...they needn't be spread far and wide. Though if you were to area saturate your sigil, how would you differentiate between the various kinds of energy or information it would receive? Think about this. Study more and Practice, practice, practice! I know you'll do fine! Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/egypt1.gif)
