Destroy your sigils?, Do you or don't you? Options

This has been a hot topic among some of the area sigilizers in my town.
Do people here destroy their sigils after their "mission" has been completed?
I have always felt that when the goal has been acheived that I should destroy the sigil that i created. If it is one i am especially proud of I might take a picture or a scan before disposing of it. If their is not a clear end to it purpose(as in perhaps ("this sigil is to encourage my creative nature") I will keep it. IF it has an end to it's use (this sigil is to aid in the acquirement of "specific object or idea") i will burn it when this goal is acheived. Afterwards I feel that the sigil and it's energy is then cleared for my mind. In some ways it works as both a physical and mental banishment, leaving my mind clear for new projects. Ultimately I think anyone can do whatever they want with their sigils but I am wondering what members here do?

So you use sigils to charge egregores then.

(Not to be a cock again but you know there is a difference between egregores and servitors? Servitors are simply spirits, etc that the magician uses himself; Egregore are servitors that exist for many people at the same time. For instance, the entity that can be summond by magicians that is responsible for attracting people to McDonnalds is an Egregore, as it is affecting/influencing many people. When a group make a servitor that they can all use, it becomes an Egregore. There is a subtal difference, I'd just like to clear that up.)

I have never had more than one servitor running at the same time, but Carrolls recomendation of four max does seem very logical.

Interesting, I dont think I've heard of anyone else ever using 'true names' for their servitors. I have used this as I have been influence by fiction, and I found it very stimulating and it worked well. Basically, if the magician knows the True Name of an entity then he has ultimate control over it. It can be used as a password etc when using the entity, and ultimatley be used to destroy it when you are finished with it.

I dont think I'd ever torture my servitors, thats just cruel, why the hell would they work for you if all you did was harm them?! I prefer to reward them and treat them when they complete a task, positive reinforcement is much better than negative.
