I think some people need to remember the origin of sigil magick, and that is chaos magick. And the maxim of chaos magick is still "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
Sorry, but this isnt true. Spare revitalised Sigil magic at the turn of the 20th century, and even then it wasnt totally his idea and had been taught to him by his teacher. Spare 'sexed' up the process by adding in a contempory approach to it based on Freuds work and other such psychological theories. Sigil magic is very ancient. The Kaos paradigm started in the mid 70's and Carroll again made Sigils popular as he was very interested in 'Results Magic', which was the original name for Chaos Magic, and Sigils were very effective for results.
And Carroll was playing a trick on the reader of his books by using the maxim, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted", as Chaos should hold to NO maxims at all! Even this statement is dogma that can hinder the mage. Other tricks by Carroll include Monasticism, which is totally rediculus if you understand CMT.
