Angel kesfarl :My fellow seekers of truth,

I've been following your passionate discussions on Sigils and the works of Austin Osman Spare with keen interest. I remember my own early days, believing that human will alone was the sole driver of all magical phenomena. However, out of genuine affection and concern for your efforts—which I sometimes see consumed by fleeting results—I wish to open a small window onto the world of the Awfaq (Magic Squares), as taught by Al-Buni in our ancient traditions.

I've often felt that the modern Western Sigil is a solitary cry in the void, relying entirely on your personal energy and aura. This, I believe, explains the "spiritual burnout" or fatigue that some of you experience after intensive practices. In the science of Awfaq, we do not use ourselves as "fuel." Instead, we treat the Wafq as a "Celestial Engineering" or a "Universal Receiver" that captures cosmic frequencies and locks them into perfectly balanced numerical grids.

It's akin to the difference between trying to push a car by hand (modern Sigils) versus building an engine that runs on the very power of nature (the Awfaq). In our heritage, numbers are the language of existence. When you place a Name within a balanced square, you create an independent "body" for your desire—a mechanism that operates on its own, without consuming the light of your eyes or the beat of your heart.

When I sit in my private library, turning the pages of original manuscripts like Manba’ Usul al-Hikmah and Shams al-Ma'arif, I am filled with awe by the precision of those ancient minds. These books don't just offer "recipes"; they grant "secrets" that turn numbers into the very language of existence. They teach you how to forge an autonomous "body" for your intent, one that functions independently without draining your vital essence.

And it doesn't stop at the Awfaq; my library also holds treasures of Sufi Litanies and Devotions that possess an overwhelming impact, known only to those who have tasted the sweetness of their experience. These are not mere words, but keys to piercing veils, where focused, ritualistic prayer transforms into a cosmic force capable of altering reality in the blink of an eye.

I say this not to diminish your experiences, but because I wish for you a path of greater safety and sovereignty. A path that empowers you to be architects of the cosmos, not merely subjects of its energies. I am here to share the fragrance of these manuscripts with you, hoping they might illuminate corners untouched by seekers before
