I discovered this type of technique for creating sigils while working on a kabbalistic talisman in 2009. Later on as I had tested it, I started to apply it in other designs as well as you can see in the ‘Seals’ section on the personalised planetary seal for Saturn.
The basic idea was to generate sigils that follow the repetitive pattern of a circle – rather than a single line format. Moreover, the talisman I had been working on was very much related to the Tree of Life (Etz Chiim); therefore it seemed counterintuitive to use a non-kabbalistic method to come up with the sigil. – Here is the result and a brief description on how to apply it yourself.
The method of Etz Chiim sigilization is an alternative way to the traditional approach of generating sigils from magical Kameas or the Golden Dawn Rose Cross. The main difference is that this method uses the 22 paths of the Etz Chiim, the kabbalistic Tree of Life, to create the sigils of a name. This is of advantage if the work carried out is of kabbalistic nature, as in this case the continuous application of the Etz Chiim reinforces the subjective synthesis in the magus. In addition, this method of sigilization works with the repetition of the sigils in accordance with the numerical value of the planet or sephiroth in question. The rhythmic repetition of the sigil brings a dynamic component that is often missing in the static, simple image of a sigil.
Excerpt from “Dreaming” in Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll
The dream state provides a convenient egress into the fields of divination, entities, and exteriorization or “out of the body” experience. All humans dream each night of their lives, but few can regularly recount their experiences even a few minutes after waking. Dream experiences are so incongruous that the brain learns to prevent them interfering with waking consciousness. The magician aims to gain full access to the dream plane and to assume control of it. The attempt to do this invariably involves the magician in a deadly and bizzare battle with his own psychic censor, which will use almost any tactics to deny him these experiences. The only method of gaining full access to the dream plane is to keep a book and writing instrument next to the place of sleeping at all times. In this, record the details of all dreams as soon as possible after waking. To assume conscious control over the dream state, it is necessary to select a topic for dreaming. The magician should start with simple experiences, such as the desire to see a particular object (real or imaginary) and master this before attempting divination or exteriorization. The dream is set up by strongly visualizing the desired topic in an otherwise silenced mind, immediately before sleep. For more complex experiences the method of sigils may be employed. A record of dreams is best kept separate from the magical record as it tends to become voluminous. However any significant success should be transferred into the magical diary.

The Chaos star is a spoked device with eight equidistant arrows radiating from a central point. It was originally devised by the fantasy author Michael Moorcock as a symbol of chaos (infinite possibility), and has been adopted as a symbol of Chaos Magick. Its current rounded shape was devised by occult author and chaos magician Peter Carroll.
“The Chaosphere is the prime radiant or magic lamp of the adept – a psychic singularity which emitteth the brilliant darkness.It is a purposely created crack in the fabric of reality through which the stuff of chaos enters our dimension. Alternatively, it may be considered as a demonstration of the axiom that belief has the power to structure reality.” – Liber Null & Psychonaut
