For the last few days, I've been thinking about how insane sigil magick actually is. It's basically the only system of Magick where you can begin with an empty book and a pen, and end up with a complete system of Magick tailored to you, including spirits, incantation, and even divination.

There is basically nothing else like it.

It cuts to the heart of the matter. In the words of John Constantine: "I'll tell you the ultimate secret of magic: any c**t can do it."

All magical systems were invented at some point, and they all have the same potential for effectiveness. Chaos magic (of which sigil magic is one expression) cuts away all the stuff that can disguise the magic, and throws into sharp relief that when it all comes down to it, the magical system is just about choosing the tool that best suits you. You are the magic, not your tools.

Technically, EVERY system started with a person, an empty book and a pen. Sigils are just a specific technology to accomplish what you're after.
