With me it depends on the purpose of the sigil.
Some sigils i keep with me, in my pocket, all the time after i energized them.
I often touch them, and think about them during the day.
I do not see how thinking about a sigil after it has been energized harms it workings, unless you highly doubt your own skill and start doubting about the success of the sigil.
I don't think that nothing is true and everything is permitted.
There are universal truths, but this sigil forgetting is just a technique, not a truth nor a belief. Many people when thinking about their sigils start doubting their effectiveness, and by doubting they are in fact working magick against the sigil. Their doubt becomes a magical act countering the sigils magick.
For those people burning and forgetting the sigil works wonders, i for one don't need such techniques, i just don't doubt myself.
It is always helpful to realize and know why certain techniques are used, if you understand the techniques, only then you can change them to your liking successfully.
You can't improve your car's engine when you don't understand how the engine works.
That is an important observation that many chaotes overlook.
Also, i believe there are many truths in magick.
The nature of magick.
The creative forces in the universe.
The nature of the human soul.
The nature of the astral plane.
The nature of the after life.
Face it, on these things and many others there can only be 1 single truth.
You can believe the earth is flat, many people did that once, but in the end the world was still as round as we know it is today.
I like chaos magick, but sometimes the chaos paradigm is wrongly being used as an excuse for ignorance. By dabblers with no real knowledge on anything, This is not directed at you folks! (IMG:
