This can be done a number of of subject or jump in thoughts, ent (sudden jumping up, running the floor), or by using the method ' magic, namely banishing laughter.
Banishing laughter may seem a bit unnatural to the beginner, since a person is generally not accustomed to bursting into laughter on command. But that doesn't make it any less effective, and even if it seems a bit fake at first, it still activates the same motor functions in a person as if the laughter were more real, thus fulfilling its purpose.
But why laughter? Its use is based on the observa tion that a person is generally unable to follow any con scious train of thought while laughing sincerely from the bottom of the heart. Such pointless, hearty laughter not only switches off the conscious mind temporarily, it also forms a protective barrier to the unconscious mind by preventing undesired thoughts from penetrating it. With this, it fulfills all the qualifications of a magical banishing. In fact, over the past thirty years in the his tory ofWestern magic, laughter has indeed proven to be a superb modern form of banishing.
Ultimately, it's up to you which form of activa tion you choose, or if you prefer to try an entirely new method. Here are a few notes on the charging (activa tion) of sigils through sex magic. As with laughter, it's generally not common practice to specifically control and functionalize sexual ecstasy. But in fact, the magi cal use of sexual powers and states of consciousness is one of the oldest magical practices. It is known in many cultures where it can be seen throughout the ages. Whether we observe the teachings of the so-called left
hand Tantrism of India and T ibet, the inner alchemy
of China, the sex-magical healing methods of Siberian shamanism, or the less known but well-documented offshoots of Jewish and Christian mysticism-erotic and sexual frames of mind and powers have always been considered particularly effective, although knowl edge of such practices often remains restricted to small insider circles within those cultures.
Nonetheless, there are numerous contempo rary sigil magicians who generally prefer to activate or charge their sigils through sex magic since they've learned through experience that this is the fastest, most efficient and effective method. Of course, this isn't nec essarily the case for everyone, which is why it is not advisable to turn it into a new dogma. But for the sake of completeness, I felt it should be mentioned here.
Concerning the specific forgetting of the sigil operation, simple distraction immediately after activa tion is generally not enough. If you've set a time limit of one week for your operation, for example, but you constantly keep wondering if it will really work or if the sigil was charged enough, or if you've already spent the money in your head, this is a far cry from truly forgetting the operation. The only thing that can help here is strong self-discipline, or better yet, the nimble evasion of any reflections about the operation, whereby all tension should be avoided. When in doubt, feel free to try various methods to see what works for you and develop your own magical style. With increased prac tice, it should become easier and easier to forget your

The actual drawing of the sigil can be thrown away immediately after successful activation. It's no longer of any use since recharging or re-activating it is out of the question. If you notice later on that the operation didn't bring about the desired effect, then perform another one to fulfill your objective, but don't just repeat the previous one. Reword your statement of intent and feel free to improve it or give it a slightly different focus than the last time. Maybe your objective was formu lated in too much detail? Or maybe it was too vague? Too general? In any case, take the time to design an entirely new sigil and maybe use a different method to activate it. It might take a while before you master this field, but that's true of most human activities.
An experienced sigil magician will generally only need a few minutes for an entire operation, from the wording of the statement of intent to the making of the sigil and its activation. As already mentioned, the only tools necessary are a pen and paper. This is one reason sigil magic is enjoying growing popularity in our fast-paced, modern society. My first effective experi ences with goal-oriented, practical magic were made with the use of sigils as well, which gave me the final impulse to dedicate my life to the magical path and to research this fascinating art in all its facets.
Now that we've finished this chapter in which we've learned both the classical, ceremonial magic
approach to money magic as well as the non-ritual approach (which may seem to be a bit more archaic due to its simplicity), we will now turn to more con ventional methods that also derive from the magical tradition, though today they are often disguised with terms such as psychology or other non-magical con cepts. We will take a look at these techniques and apply them from a magician's point of view in order to give them more effectiveness.
