I know this thread is quite old, but I'm bumping it up because I have a very odd problem with sigils, and I'm hoping those of you with far more insight and experience can tell me what's going on, or at least give some advice. (if there was an emoticon for desperation, I'd use it.)

Here's the story. Three times in the last year, I've tried to use sigils. The whole idea seemed very sensible as far as magic(k) is concerned. I'm an artist, I understand the power of creating something and imbuing it with a sort of power, whether intentionally or not. So I made up a batch, per the instructions, It went well. I could feel something there. I went about all the rest of it. and on the night that I charged the first batch, I could feel it, somehow, that it was doing [/i]something[i].
Can't explain it well, but sort of like an electrical charge in the air.
Then, things started to go wrong. Within a day, our Internet service went down, our plumbing went bust and our car stopped dead. just like that.

A few months later, I tried again. Within a day, due to some electronic error that no one could figure out, our electric was cut off and stayed off for two weeks. And when we kept telling the company to fix it, they said they had no record of us ever using their service. So that was a miserable mess!

The third time I tried, almost immediately our Internet service went down again for several days, the plumbing went bust again (requiring expensive repairs) and our car battery actually blew up. (I didn't even know it could do that!)
IIRC we had problems with our television acting up at that time too.
Oh, I know it could be coincidence, but I just felt like the happenings had certain characteristics that marked them out as unique.
Kind of a combination of explosions and things coming to a dead stop at the same time.

What I'd like to know, really...coming at it from an esoteric perspective, is what could have been happening here, and is there any thing to be done about it. Anyone who has experience with these things, I would be very grateful for your imput. Thanks Smile

Sorry, I know this is an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one.

If you make a sigil, how do you manage to forget about it if it requires you doing something to help get it. For example, if I make a sigil to win some money on the lottery, then obviously I have to action it by buying a ticket etc. How is this compatible with sending it off into the universe and forgetting about it?

Doesn't sound like it is, to be honest. Maybe lottery numbers aren't covered in your sigil guarantee?

Can't you buy lotto tickets in advance or on a standing order maybe? Get them for a year on direct debit and forget about it that way.
