I like your stuff, Dancing Coyote. So hang in there. This site is slow but its my preferred board these days.
As a female practitioner with an interest in Chaos magick and Zos Kia , I've tried the sigiilization and oneristic charging practices without much result although I have had results when I sort of channel the sexual energy of a nale friend. The two last times I worked with the friend, 1) my computer monitor which had been messed up for a month spontaneously fixed itself and 2) a guy who people in my "lodge" felt magically assailed by fell off a 16 foot ladder. (--
not that I wanted that to happen to him. I had been thinking about their and my own angst and invoking Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz where she says "Rubbish! YOu have no power here. Begone! Before someone drops a house on you." But when I do banishing and averting magick, the results tend to be unintentionally severe. (IMG:

Early on, I had also experimented with adaptations of the death posture. As they say in astrology about certain transits, "weak, transient effect."
I also work best when I combine use of sigils with natural magic and shamanic technique. I don't follow recipes or instructions; I just adapt templates and act magically. I usually don't get too specific anymore when I define my intentions. Workings tend to then shift overall moods or circumstances. I often go into the woods and do some kind of meditation and imagine a sigil filling space and then feed beings in a kind of Buddhistic attitude and the effects can carry me through for days or weeks--or months.
About 2 weeks or so ago, I focused on money and work and used a sigil during a trance dance/shamanic drumming process I participate in with a group of women. I recevied enough money gifts for a milestone birthday to cover this month's mortgage as well as a refund check from my mortgage company and a paycheck that I had been waiting to receive since November. I also heard from several job leads. But magick or no magick. it's a long haul and life is rather precarious.One can connect the dots between intention and events or circumstance but it is all a matter of the placement of perception in a field of myriad potential happenings.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round . . . .
