A joke on another thread got me thinking -- wearing flair on suspenders uinder a suitcoat, but all sigils for sigil magic and talismans dedicated to particular goals?
Would it work? I have no idea how to do either, but im willing to give it a shot.
Would the flair clash with each other? Zodiacally speaking?
What about Spare sigils, do they work?

Dion Fortune goes off on flair somewhere, saying that the real adept doesn't need a big finger ring, pentagram on his lapel, etc. I've seen an online photo of Alastair Crowley that fits her description to a tee, so I guess she was p.o.'ed at him at the time of her outburst. Personally, I've always thought Michael Aquino was trying a bit too hard with those theatrical eyebrows. (I'm surprised the military didn't bust his b**** for non-regulation grooming. But being a semi-spook in Intell and a PhD probably got him a pass.)

Also, what would count as "virtue sigiling"?

I guess finding out will be half the battle of understanding.
Draw representations of decan visions, pray over them and wear the flair.

I guess I learn this as well.

This is strictly for catch-all talisman flair, to see angel only taismata flair, see this post:

Speaking of flair clash, how much flair do you need? I imagine if you kept pieces separated they'd not clash. Either that of have different days for different flair.

Heck, I'm headed for the vendor section of the forum. An "anti-talisman clash" talisman. A hand-crafted styrene quartz crystal that harmonizes your sigils and prevents rune ruin.

Not a bad idea...Im still reading The Golden Dawn on Talismans, trying to pick out the nuances from the straight-forward bits.

There is the book "Talismans and Evocations of the Golden Dawn" by Pat Zalewski (Thoth Press 2003). The review at heremetic. com says it's the first single-volume publication that includes all GD teaching on the topic. I imagine you can find a PDF somewhere online.

I will have to find and check it out. I used to have a very large Golden Dawn library when I was ballin. Turns out I should have saved all my money for what was to come. I will just have to use the "primary textboook" supplemented by Kraig and Christopher. Come to think of it, Kraig touches on sigil magick a few times.
