I could stay up all night tracking them from my window and taking pictures of them. But that would solve almost nothing, for there is a great chance that I won't get photos of all of them and their is also a great chance that I'd capture only the car body and no body part, of those riding in cars.<br /><br />I'm the rituals I did over the course of 1year, I used the image of my street taken from Google Street View and banished them from that area. This seamed to work only partially.<br /><br />I think I need to change my approach and create some artificial links, like sympathetic magick, to tackle this one.<br /><br />On the other hand, I used only a sigil to banish the president of my apartment building and replace him with a honest man, without any photo or DNA and with alot of resistance to the spell. Within 2months he was sacked :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-16039082163761505962016-04-09T11:52:15.944-05:002016-04-09T11:52:15.944-05:00It definitely is possible to create a link to a ta...It definitely is possible to create a link to a target using visualization alone. It is fairly easy to create a link like that, but in my experience it's a lot harder to create a strong one. What you did here, focusing all your attention on your visualization throughout the ritual, is basically how you have to do it to get good results.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you have something like the target's personal DNA, strong links are a lot easier to create and don't require anything like that level of concentration. It lets physics do a lot of the work you would otherwise have to do.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-88462219856863677252016-04-08T06:45:14.489-05:002016-04-08T06:45:14.489-05:00From what i've found out studying witchcraft, ...From what i've found out studying witchcraft, you can easily create links to a person even if you don't possess a strong one, such as their personal DNA.<br /><br />At one time last summer, i bound several people in one ritual, to stop them from harassing me and my family with gossip and false accusations. My advantage was that i've had direct contact with them over time, even briefly, but i didn't possess any direct link to them. I managed to get photos of some of them, but not all of them. For the rest of them, i wrote down their full name (maiden names for women, where i knew them) and their home address. I also added their nicknames, if they had one. I didn't add the following characteristics then, as i was simply furious of the situation i was brought in by their actions, that i used my anger in a direct frontal assault, so to say, but i think they would have added more to the link. I'm thinking about their personality and character traits and even physical traits. I then visualized that person's face on the piece of paper containing their data written in black ink and performed the ritual on that piece of paper like i would perform it on the person itself. Like when i rolled the paper and tied it with red string and placed it in a container full of salt, black pepper, nails and so on, in imagined the whole time that the person itself was going through all of this. And it worked, for i haven't had any disturbances from them ever since. <br /><br />When i was reading this article, I was thinking about Frater Barrabbas' articles about some GD members binding ISIS/ISIL using their flag as a link and how it would result in a backfire that would make people more fearful of that organisation. In one of those articles he was talking about love spells being cast upon celebs that would result in delusions in the caster's mind. i think he is right, but i also think those things could be avoided by using your containment triangle and circle and by strongly visualizing that celeb in the flesh as representing the link. <br /><br />In my world, nothing is impossible, as long as you find the right approach to it and this is backed up by the many Twilight Zone experiences that have gain hold of my life over the past 8 or so years.<br /><br />Great article!<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-25497376622785663662011-06-10T08:48:22.306-05:002011-06-10T08:48:22.306-05:00@Pallas: That method sounds completely functional ...@Pallas: That method sounds completely functional and I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. You would just want to build into the statement of intent something that would only allow the spell to activate when the object was touched by the right person so that you could handle it without triggering anything.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-49647296915473346792011-06-10T01:33:10.195-05:002011-06-10T01:33:10.195-05:00Although I haven't tried it yet, I've pond...Although I haven't tried it yet, I've pondered "double enchanting" objects to be gifted or returned to the target. For example, using worn clothing as a symbolic link for one enchantment, and imbuing it with Hoodoo-type products enchanted in their own way before returning them.<br /><br />Perhaps it's overkill, but at some point I'd like to play around with the idea.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009778570667265968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-36920905353101356832011-06-08T13:44:17.342-05:002011-06-08T13:44:17.342-05:00Hey Ananael, thanks for such a thorough answer.

I would classify my set of planetary tablets as items that create such a connection, for example. That's not exactly what I usually mean when I talk about magical links, but such symbolic representations can be a big help in tuning the working space to a particular power or vision.<br /><br />@John: I'm not sure what you mean by using a "failed spell" as a link. Do you mean that you re-use the magical link you set up to a specific target when you cast a spell and it fails? If so, I do that too. Links can be re-used over and over and over again. Also, you don't need to set up any sory of link to yourself. Just invoke the power or vision that you want to work with. You can do that with traditional spirits, or you can do it with something like a Spare sigil if that's what you prefer.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-20405603160888814852011-06-07T00:42:31.192-05:002011-06-07T00:42:31.192-05:00Though I'm not sure about it, I think I've...Though I'm not sure about it, I think I've used failed spells as magical links, Augoeides, using AOS sigils. It works nicely imo, though always trying to achieve a state of indifferent vacuity is annoying from time to time.<br /><br />As a chaos magic noob, I believe it's kinda interesting to use failures as a kind of link but maybe using oneself as a primary target. After all, the intent of spell is the "I". <br /><br />Just my theory though.<br /><br />Babbling to kingdom come,<br />JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473657042834231710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-44702775146874343612011-06-06T17:40:20.688-05:002011-06-06T17:40:20.688-05:00How would you classify a symbolic link?

Instead, they symbolically express the spiritual essence of the target. This would also involve words of power, symbolic images, photographic images, associated archetypes, seals, characters and even sigils.Frater.Barrabbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689013897789072360noreply@blogger.com
