It's basically a sigil that covers multiple levels. Art, words, time. You can write a series of books that are a hypersigil, or a series of comics, or paintings or whatever.conxtion wrote:Thanks a million, guys, some more research required by me, ... hypersigil .. umm ...
It paints a certain image, over multiple dimensions in multiple ways, of your intent.

Well that is interesting... I have come across hypersigils before but was never interested enough to do any research. So many possibilities...Aprophis wrote:It's basically a sigil that covers multiple levels. Art, words, time.

From what I've been told by spirits, creating your own sigil from scratch is the better way instead of using online generators. It gets the intent out there better.

I guess it depends on your definition of spell. The way we use them in chaos magick at least I have always thought of them as roughly equivalent to a spell.
A sigil doesn't have to be an image it can be a sound (mantra, music, etc) or a series of movements (yoga, kuji kuri, etc), but most commonly it is a picture (pictoral/freehand, kamea/tracing over a magic square, witch's wheel, word method/combining letters, or rose cross).
The main thing that defines it as a sigil is the fact that it replaces a statement of desire/intent with a representation of that desire/intent which is totally abstract and therefore has non of the psychological baggage of just focusing on the intent itself, and also helps to bypass the psychic censor and insert said desire/intent directly into the subconsious to be worked by your will without any conscious effort (if consciously wanting something made it happen life would be easy).
This is done by focusing on the sigil intensely during gnosis (an altered state of single pointed concentration attainable via extreme meditation or excitement) and then forgetting it entirely afterwards. For this reason many hours are spent practicing meditation, visualization, and willpower.
But anyway that's just the chaos magick way, and we draw from various magical traditions that may use these tools in a different way. Feel free to do whatever you want with them, god knows we will.

Sigilscribe uses the Austin Spare method only. a plain 3x3 grid labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and then you trace the letters across the correct numbers according to the cipher
(a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4,e=5,f=6,g=7,h=8,i=9,j=1,k=2,l=3,m=4,n=5,o=6,p=7,q=8,r=9,s=1,t=2,u=3,v=4,w=5,x=6,y=7,z=8,).
Generally vowels and/or repeating letters are removed.
ChaosTarot uses this, plus planetary kameas, and a whole bunch of other methods.
Planetary Kameas use more complex "Magic Squares" and a cipher more closely related to the Hebrew numerology
(a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4,e=5,f=6,g=7,h=8,i=9,j=10,k=20,l=30,m=40,n=50,o=60,p=70,q=80,r=90,s=100,t=200,u=300,v=400,w=500,x=600,y=700,z=800 - Reduce when necessary to fit in the square, 800 = 80 = 8 )
which is the original language these were done in (In hebrew each letter of the alphabet is also a number for math, ie lends itself to numerology, no cipher required).
There are magic squares, called kameas, representing each of the astrological planets, ranging from 3x3 grids to 9x9. You choose the one that is most related to your intent (ie venus = love). There is

Sigil Magick
Sigilisation is one of the simplest and most effective forms of
results magick used by contemporary magicians. Once you
have grasped the basic principles of sigilisation and
experimented with some of the most popular methods of
casting sigils, you can go on to experimenting with forms of
sigil magick which are unique to you.
The core Sigilisation process can be divided into six stages,
which I will explain using the acronym S.P.L.I.F.F.
S - Specify Intent
P - Pathways available?
L - Link intent to symbolic carrier
I - Intense Gnosis/Indifferent Vacuity
F - Fire
F - Forget
1.Specify Intent
The first stage of the process is that you should get your magical
intent clear - as precise as possible without, at the same time,
being too overcomplicated. Vague intentions usually give rise
to vague results, and the clearer the initial statement of intent
is, the more likely you are to get accordant results. An
aquaintance of mine once did a sigil to manifest a lover, and
gave very precise details on how this paragon should look,
what kind of car he should drive, etc. Needless to say, her desire manifested exactly as she had specified, and she
discovered too late that she had forgotten to specify
intelligence in her sigil, and was lumbered with a bore!
2.Pathways Available
Generally, sigils are excellent for bringing about precise, short-
term results, which makes them excellent for works of Results
Magick - healing, habit manipulation, inspiration,
dreamcontrol, and the like. It is generally considered useful if
you open a path for the intent to manifest along. There is a
standard magical example about working for money that goes
along the lines of: Frater Bater does a spell for money and
waits for the multiverse to provide him with the readies. In the
following months he gains financially after the sudden deaths
of relatives, receiving industrial compensation after falling into
a combine harvester, and so on. Had he made sure that there
was a possible pathway or route for the result to come in on,
like writing a book (ha ha), writing off for a new job, or entering
a lottery, he might have had a better time of it. This is the way
magick often works, and shows that the multiverse, if nothing
else, has a slappy sense of humour.
3.Link Intent
Once you have decided upon your intent, it can then be turned
into a symbolic analogue or code - a signal on which you can
focus varying degrees of attention on, without recalling your
initial desire. The most common approaches to this are:
(a) Monogram - write out your intent, knock out all repeating
letters, and from the rest, design a glyph.
(b) Mantra - write out intent, scramble into meaningless phrase
or word, which can then be chanted.
In addition to the above, you can also use other media such as
smell, taste, colours, body language, and hand gestures.
4.Intense Gnosis/Indifferent Vacuity
Sigils can be projected into the mutliverse via an act of Gnosis
- usually, but not necessarily, within some kind of ritual/magical
context. Popular routes to Gnosis include: spinning, chanting,
dancing, visualisation, sensory overload or sensory deprivation,
and sexual arousal. The other altered state is that of Indifferent
Vacuity - a sort of not-particularlybothered state. An example
of sigilisation by this route is to doodle sigils whilst listening
to a talk which is boring, but you have to take notes on.
5.Fire
This is simply the projection of the sigil into the void or
multiverse at the peak of Gnosis/Vacuity. Examples of this
include orgasm, reaching the point of blackout from
hyperventilation or being asked a question about the boring
talk that you were supposed to have been listening to.
6.Forget
Once your sigil has been fired, youre supposed to forget the
original intent and let the Butterfly Effect or whatever take its
course. Forgetting what you just did can often be the hardest
part of the process. Its not so bad if the intent is something
you dont really care about (hence beginning with sigils for
things you arent really too fussed about is a good way to begin
experiments), but is more difficult if its something you really
want to happen. As long as you dont dwell on the thoughts
when they pop up, it shouldnt matter too much. Time for
another analogy.
The ever-changing tangle of desires, wishes, fears, fantasies
etc jostling around in our minds can be likened to a garden,
albeit a somewhat unruly and overgrown one; flowers, weeds,
creepers, and the occassional buried gardening rake. Going
through the sigilisation process can be likened to becoming
suddenly enthusiastic about tidying the garden up. You isolate
one plant (i.e. your intent), seperate it from the others, feed it,
water it and prune it til it stands out from the rest and is clearly
visible on the landscape, and then suddenly get bored with the
whole job and go indoors to watch television. The trick is,
next time you look at the garden, not to notice the plant you
so recently lavished attention on.
If the intent gets tangled up with all the other stuff in your
head, you tend to start projecting various fantasy outcomes -
what youll do with the money when it comes, how will it be
with the boy/girl/anteater of your dreams, etc and the desire
will get run into all the others, thus decreasing the probability
of it manifesting in the way you want it to.
A useful attitude to have when casting sigils is that once youve
posted one off to the multiverse (which, like Santa, always
gets the message), then youre sure that its going to work, so
that you dont need to expend any more effort on that particular
one. Such confidence tends to arise out of having had some
success with sigils previously. The result often comes about
when the intent has become latent - that is to say, youve
completeley forgotten about it and given up on it coming about.
The experience is similar to trying to hitch a lift on deserted
road in the dead of night. Youve been there for hours, its
pouring down with rain and you know with an air of dread
certainty that no ones going to stop for you now, but you stick
your thumb out anyway. What the hell, eh? Five minutes later,
you get a lift from the boy/girl/anteater of two sigils back,
driving a porsche and asking you how far you want to go.
Maddening isnt it? But sigilisation often seems to work like
that.

Hypersigils have been on my mind recently and I'm really interested in making one. But on every site I read about them people keep mentioning that I have to publish and post it publicly after I'm done. Is this really necessary? I mean sigils are usually handled privately, so why not hypersigils as well? Has anyone done a hypersigil before? And if so, what did you do with it after you were done?
