I'm wondering whether you have any opinion about the sigil technique beloved of chaos magicians, namely to write down your intent such as "It is my will to find a new job in a month", then cross out any repeating letters (some say to cross out vowels also), then rearrange the remaining letters into a sigil. You then "launch" the sigil through orgasm, intense meditation, exercise, etc. while staring at it (some even use methods such as mailing a copy of the sigil to random strangers).
Gordon White recommends a technique called "shoaling" where you launch a bunch of sigils at once, but you have one of them be a sigil for something you absolutely know will come true, such as "It is my will to see a McDonald's" when you know you drive by one each day. The idea is it primes the others to come true as well.
Originally this is supposed to be (loosely) based on a technique by A.O. Spare. Do you think this has any validity/effectiveness?
