Good morning one and all/
It is I your dear friend and conspirator Morris. You may call me Morry if it makes you feel more comfortable. For today's chat may become just a tiny bit uncomfortable, for us both.

Discomfort is good though, fear is good, change is fucking brilliant.

So, today I will speak with you about doubt, sigils, and the infinite joy of this life we love in a state of chaos.

Well, lets start off with sigils and magic.
A sigil is a physical representation of a want or desire that you would like to see manifest in your life. Something real and tangible, some sort of ...well, something.
The people's of the world have been using this sort of psychic technology for as long as we have been able to paint on cave walls as primitives or take crayon in hand and attack the walls of our homes as children.
A sigil requires just that kind of primitive childlike honesty to truly be effective. Drop the "I am a powerful magician, I know the psychological images that hold power for me", it's all shit.
No, what is truly required is the dropping of all pretense. You mus approach the work as an innocent. Use only what truly comes to mind when you think of your desire, your want. Use the images that have the power for that moment.
You may do several and find that they have nothing in common, no similar technique, no rhyme or reason to them at all.
If this happens you are on the right path. You are being honest with yourself. You may proceed brave pychonaut with your work.
Never let yourself fall into patterns because you want the works to look the same.
When you view the works of Spare you will notice that there is very little similar with any of the pieces. He was a master of this

The next bit will be more disquieting, because we aare going to take a brief look at our enemy.

"Our enemy? you ask,"are there sinister forces out there trying to keep us down? Are there rival magic workers employed by the NSA keeping us in check?"
Well, in a word, no.
Admittedly I have no knowledge of the NSA's current endeavors, but they are not the enemy.
No, our enemy is ourselves.
The enemy is within.
When you start such a work you will feel empowered. You will feel as though you have finally taken control of your life and where it's going. I know that this is how I felt. Powerful.
Then he speaks to you, the enemy, the voice inside that tells you that things can't change, that you are deluding yourself.
Yes, the enemy is us, our own doubt and fear of failure or change.
It is a powerful foe, and one that we can never truly defeat.
We do not, however, have to give in. Fear is good, change is better, and we can use one to move the other forward.
If you dear something will not come to pass, move forward, keep the work going. You WILL see little things along the way. Somethings do not come easily or quickly, but that does not mean that they will not be.
Have faith in yourself and your true power. Come from that place of want, be true to yourself and you can make it happen.
Trust the story you are writing, your life, just be true to it.

So, what of this joyous life of chaos. It is what it is. Live it, guide it, write it.

Or it will live you.

It is time for us all to wrest control from the images and doubts that plague us and to create our own beautiful ones to live.

More later
Morry
