Degrees of Sigilization

Every act of spell-casting involving sigils involves four forms or degrees of magickal potency, also. These are (1) the sigil itself as a mere spell, (2) a servitor, (3) an egregore and (4) a godform. Each is a different stage in the evolution, potency and capability of the sigil in question.

Sigil: In the first type, a mere sigil is a basic spell. It has no mind or will of its own and is powerful only insofar as it is a direct manifestation of your own will. To cast a spell via a sigil, and leave it at this level, is equivalent to mere action at a distance. It is as if you were not able to grab an apple off a tree, so you made the apple fall. A sigil, at this level, can be quite powerful on some circumstances, but it moves directly and unintelligently. If something frustrates its path, it will not know how to go around it and, though it might be powerful, it can often fail if the conditions are not correct.

This form requires the least amount of effort and can be done easily by almost anyone.

Servitor: Here, the power that one unleashes from oneself now becomes a rudimentary form of consciousness. The servitor has no will of its own, but it does have a mind of its own, at this point, and it can carry out its tasks with a degree of planning of problem solving. The effect of the spell, then, is longer lasting and potentially more potent than a mere sigil spell.

To make a servitor requires a great deal of planning and care, and I will describe it in more detail in another book. For now, the basic idea in creating a servitor is that a name, personality, characteristics and an image of the servitor are to be made in addition to its central sigil. It is to be treated like a being on its own, and this act begins to allow it to possess these characteristics. It also requires a more thorough and indepth period of charging the sigil. And, being bound entirely to its creator, a servitor is easily killed when necessary.

Egregore: At this point, the servitor not only has a mind of its own, but also a will. It has become a conscious being in all respects, though it is tied to the life of its creator. Or perhaps I should say creators in that an egregore is very difficult to create by one person, and ideally should be created by two or three people in unison. The reason this is so is because when a servitor is created, its creator imbues it with a fragmentary but self-perpetuating energy that stems from the creator's mind. And every aspect of our mind is theoretically autonomous and potentially in conflict with other aspects—however, this is not true of our desire. Our basic, fundamental desire as a human being is fairly unified. Therefore, though a servitor has the power to have a mind independent of its creator, it cannot have an independent will.
