Is this a hypersigil?

Hullo, I'm entirely new to this community. As in, I started looking into it just yesterday, and I'm very curious about hypersigils and its relation to something I have. Sorry if this post is a bit long, messy, and all over the place, I'm very sleep deprived and confused about the topic. Admittedly, I have not done a lot of research into the topic as much as I should before I go about making posts, so please forgive me if I get the idea of hypersigils wrong, and do feel free to correct me on my mistake.

So, for context, I write as a hobby, and I've been working on this story for the past six or seven-ish years. I don't plan on ever publishing it, and it's deeply personal to me. I don't know how to word this correctly, but I have noticed that over time many aspects of the story has become "true".

To my friends that I have spoken to this about, they’ve made jokes that I’ve just been self-inserting this whole time, despite a lot of the content within this story were written years prior to when they started to mirror my actual life. Since creating it, I’ve met people which whom I’ve developed dynamics and relationships that mimic the actual characters (even to weirdly intimate details that I find... disturbing), and I’ve lived through specific scenarios that I have previously written.

Anyway, one of the most notable things that have happened relating to this story is that I met someone who had the same name of one of my characters, as well as very, very similar personalities. This friend ended up passing away recently in the exact same way my character did, down to the specific details. I haven’t told anyone about this, because I believe it may come off as insensitive to relate their passing to a literal fictional character I've made up in my head when I was younger, but I can't help but feel that it must be related in some way.

Again, I haven’t done much research into it, but on one source I’ve read, it stated that hypersigils have to be created with intention from the beginning (this is correct, yes...?). I did not know what a hypersigil was when I created this story, nor did I create it with intent of manifesting anything.

Are these just grand sets of coincidences that I’m looking way too into and being paranoid about, or is this actually an unintentional hypersigil? I have no idea what to think as of current. Thank you for bearing with me.

I always say that synchonicity is random magic. It uses the same mechanism as magic, but the 'intention' is whatever is floating around in your subconscious at any time before the synchronicity occurs. Magic does not need to act in the way we normally think of as cause and effect.

So to answer your question, you have created a kind of hypersigil by writing the book and allowing it to manifest. If you want to stop any more of these things, you would need to banish, and destroy the book.
