So I’m house hunting at the moment.

This started on Friday when on the way out to see the most lovely Persephone we stopped and grabbed a list of rentals in her area. We, being Frater Victatio and I, were laden down with tasty things and heading over to Persephone’s for fun and talking.We do this most Friday’s and it is much much MUCH fun.

Sitting with he and Persephone looking through the list enthused me more than anything has and I finally started actually being less vague and more serious about it all. So I picked two places to check out this morning. Created a Sigil for the one of the two I really liked and went off to dance the night away…

Well sigil got dance magic, sex magic (oh dear lords that was FUN) and a whole lot of intent magic thrown into it. Today, when inspecting the place, I sigil bombed it as I A) have no ethical qulams about doing so and B) loved it. By sigil bombing I mean that I dropped sigils by tracing them onto surfaces in every room as well as the front and back door. And yet at the far end of it I don’t think it’ll work.

The place is too expensive for me on my own as much as I love it (And oh my gods I DO love it, it’s gorgeous) and I think that knowledge is going to be my undoing. I’ve lined up a few other places out that way I want to look at. I like the area a lot, it feels nice. These other places are all within affordable range without a housemate and super affordable with one (Under $100 a week each).

Sooooo plans… I’m going to create a new sigil with a slighlty different intent that is basically bring me what I need (2 bedroom house, laundry facilities, with garden or balcony, sunlight and cat safe in the Reservoir area) sigil and do some major work towards this.

I’m enthused so I’m feeding that momentum while I have it.

As Mentioned in the post over here I am working on a set of sigils as tattoo’s. The original post was very non-specific and just a statement of intent. Since then I have reworked it a bit and gotten creative.

A note on sigil workings. Sigils are generally create, fire and forget, but because I am tattooing these rather permanently on my skin I have decided that I will not follow the traditional approach.

Sigil 1: I am fit, healthy and happy with my body.

I didn’t like the idea of having a sigil aimed specifically at my weight so it’s now incorporated into this one for all intents and purposes. Being both physically fit and healthy does wonders for my sense of self worth and how much a value myself.

Sigil 1 - I am fit, healthy and happy with my body

Sigil 2: I am motivated and focussed

I ahve found myself very much lacking in both these areas. Motivation comes rarely and I am very easily distracted so this is the sigil to help me work on these areas in conjunction with real world efforts such as better time management and planning sessions.

Sigil 2 - I am motivated and focussed

Sigil 3: As yet undetermined.

Positioning: These will be tattooed one after the other starting at the botoom of my rib cage under my left breast and finishing at the top of the same hip. I have a long bosy so they’ll fit quite nicely and my head has firmly informed me that the positioning will be as stated, no questions asked.

Size: Not sure just yet. I’m thinking about 5 centimetres (roughly 2 inches) tall each, and width in proportion to that for each design.

I have very possibly reached the height of boredom, pathetic and geekdom all at once. I am at Unicon, a gaming convention that I’ve ended up volunteering at because… I stood still long enough…

And I’m writing this post from my mobile phone for lack of anything more interesting to do.

So I’m working the little food table and am bored brainless and need something to do. I have designed the second of the three sigils for my tattoos and developed a massive headache *Stupid Sleep Dep* I tried to alleviate it using pressure point manipulation which failed dismally and then using a cooling method. I learnt that it is fucking impossible to focus through a splitting headache.

The method I use, a basic meditation style exercise, is quite simple and when you can focus it also works quite well. Take a mouthful of cold liquid, preferably water for a headache as it also assists in relieving the headache of it’s own accord, and swallow. You want to catch that nice, soothing cool feeling in the back of your throat and spread it up along your skull, then let it sink into your brain soothing the pain. I often turn the cool feeling into a coloured liquid as I find this assists my ability to make it move as I want it to and to penetrate my brain.

So now that I’ve shared my technique I’m going to go in search of panadol before I cry…

This post will have follow ups, it’s mostly a statement of intent.

I have been thinking on, discussing and not doing anything about some sigils for some time. 3 of the to be precise

1. Health – Statement: “I am healthy”  Task: To make me and keep me physically healthy
2. Esteem – Statement: “I am worth it”  Task: To assist my self esteem because it sucks
3. Weight – Statement: none as yet  Task: This one, which is the work in progress at this point, it to assist me to lose weight and then maintain the healthy weight I will be at once I have done so.

Three sigils (?) each with a very specific and long term goal. My biggest debate at the moment is whether I’m making these solely sigils or going the step further and creating servitors. Either way the symbols that represent my will will be tattooed under one of my breasts running down my torso. Kind of like traditional kanji but not actually kanji. To maintain they will be tended to as part of my daily bath and body routine.

The very pain of having them done will be part of the charging, probably followed by large amounts of dance floor charging just to give it oomph.
