Creating Servitors Options

So I've scoured this forum and two others for six hours at this point and there are several posts on how to make a thoughtform servitor without actually explaining how it's done. I've seen a lot of book recommendation, but that's not accessible to me. I have absolutely zero idea how to do this and I need it for a ritual I'm planning (the ritual's in July, so no sweat on timing, but practice makes perfect). I've been told to sigilize, but I'm really bad at that because the process confuses me. I want to endow my servitor with certain properties and abilities fed by elemental energies, but I don't know how to do that. Help?

Siglization may just take practice as well, what about the process is confusing though?

One possibility is to create sigils of each of the individual properties, and then condense the individual charged sigils into a single sigil representing the thoughtform itself.

If you are more interested in talismanic magic as an approach, vs sigilization, then you might create talismans for each property, and then again create a thoughtform attached to an associated base, i.e. a fetisch, but this also relies on ensuring that you can maintain an altar space for the fetisch and associated talismans.

Yet another method would be to establish fetisches for each of the elements, and then to create the thoughtform in a ritual setting in which the elemental fetisches are present to be attached to the physical base of the thoughtform - whether that is a sigil or another fetisch object.

A fetisch can be any appropriate object. Fire might be a zippo lighter, earth might be any rock or crystal, air could be a fan or some such, water could be a traditional cup, or an actual bottle of water - preferably a glass bottle of some interesting look. In any case they should all be interesting an appropriately non-ordinary. The fetisch for the thoughtform should again be something appropriate to its central purpose.

A thoughform or servitor should always have a central directing purpose or initiative, its 'spirit' if you will. That is what is meant when you read that a servitor should 'serve a single purpose or task'. Whatever other attachments you create after that are the tools it must use to accomplish that task. Really, it's better if you don't try to give it elemental tools, etc., to use - this will limit how it can go about doing what it needs to do, but then I don't know what it is you want it to accomplish either.

Finally, you could create individual thoughtforms intended to direct their elemental energies to the use of the 'governing' thoughtform.

It's difficult to explain exactly what needs to be done without knowing exactly what you don't know. Do you have some kind of understanding of what a thoughtform actually is and what it can accomplish? Like the name implies, thoughtforms operate on the mental plane - giving it access to elemental power will possibly direct it's actions towards their presence on that plane, but not on the physical plane, and not in the astral or spiritual plane. Thoughtforms can affect decisions and choices, and will bring about what you want by manipulating currents on the mental plane. Empowering a thoughtform with elemental fire, for instance, will give it a propensity to affect the will of individuals who will play a role in bringing about that central goal; water may affect emotions; air may affect intellectual affairs and intentions; earth may affect stability and cohesion.

Figure out in all this what you aren't sure about and I can elaborate on a particular method if you need.
