GV, Brujeria, PGM, Neville.
But I really feel like I should talk about my TOTAL and abject FAILURE to make Chaos Magic sigils work FOR YEARS. I was a world-class loser.
This was age 18 to 23. I swear I really gave it the college try. Took it seriously. I read all the books - Carroll, Hine, Jan Fries’
Visual Magic - doing the gnosis trances and the automatic writing for sigils… and for what? Fucking nothing. Nada. Zip. Bupkis. Jack and shit. And these were well within normal probability. No huge asks.
And I love Chaos Magic. But the who knows what said, "Not for you, fucker." It wasn't until the journey I went on with the GV, HGA, Folk Catholicism, and then Neville (especially Mitch talking about Neville) did the CM sigils click.
Why? Dunno. Goetia was instance success right out of the Hell Gate. Terrifying but successful. I was a spooky kid. Didn't mean to be, just was.
But I still have no idea what stars I needed to be born under be to make CM sigils work back then. Looking back on many events in my life, it seems in retrospect, the GV daimons had plans for me from age 8. Fuckers gatekeeping my own magical path! Dicks! But fuck if I know for sure. The spirits are messy like that.
