Fotamecus



Fotamecus was originally a sigil created in spring of 1996 when I was showing the Mad Prophet some sigilization techniques. The Mad Prophet kept the paper used for the demonstration and began using it when he was driving, the sigil's intent being to "Force Time Into Compression." Ruben, a friend of both me and the the Mad Prophet, was brought in on this, and two people began directing energy at it. Fotamecus crossed the Sigil/Servitor line after both Ruben and the Mad Prophet attended a Metallica concert in Sacramento at which Quinn is said to have smiled evilly when looking at the crowd and muttered "Free gnosis..." before opening himself to channel and becoming a one-man-mosh. On the drive back, both Ruben and the Mad Prophet dumped the excess energy into Fotamecus and made it home in half the time it should have taken.

I was informed and intrigued, and on the Death Valley Pilgrimage (three days in a van with seven chaos mages) Fotamecus was put to the test: The group directed a great amount of energy at him to help shorten the time to drive from Santa Rosa (north of San Francisco) to Death Valley.
On the first leg of the trip everyone looked at the clock before entering Vallejo. Fifteen minutes later we had travelled almost fifty miles, through the MacArthur Maze (the most dizzying interchange of highways known to man), in the Thanksgiving traffic. The second car with us, which we lost immediately preceding this, had continued to drive undaunted behind us. They never stopped. We wasted 45 minutes in Livermore before getting back on the road and coincidentally running into them again.
There was only one side effect.
The last three exits on I-5 before Bakersfield, which should have taken us 15 minutes to pass, took closer to an hour. For time compressed, time was expanded. For us, expanded on perhaps one of the most boring stretches of highway in California.
At this point, several of my friends and I sat down and did some work on Fotamecus, making him a viral servitor: He could spawn copies of himself. We wired these together into a network so that if one compresses time but doesn't want to expand it, it passes off the duty for expansion to another Fotamecus servitor in the network. They all work together, and the more copies out there, the better it works.

I've had a lot of times where fotamecus has helped me out. Mostly trying to have class fly by, ha!
I didn't pay much attention to the procedure given, or the name of the servitor, or even his sigil!
But, it worked all the same. GREAT results, the kind that make me say "well shit, that was cool".

When i first started asking help of him, i drew what i thought to be his sigil and stuck it in my shoe. While in class i would imagine myself tearing the clock face off of the wall and smashing it to bits while focusing on the sigil in my shoe. The results varied, sometimes time would just fly by and other times i would be let out of class early. Let out early by as much as an hour, which is really unheard of for the teacher, and this happened on multiple occasions.

If you have time to burn, you should ask fotamecus for help.

AOS Sigilization Method


The three steps to sigilizing with the AOS method. 

1.The formulation of a statement of intent, capital letters are generally used because they appear more willful. 

MY WILL IS TO BE PROTECTED FROM HARM 

2. Cross out any repeated letters 

MY WIL* *S TO BE PR***C**D F*** HA** 

Resulting in: 

MYWILSTOBEPRCDFHA 

3. Now to combine these letters into a symbol. The letters can be flipped, superimposed, linked, or anything else really. 

For example, a "W" can be "M" upside down and "E" sideways. The top (or bottom) curve of "S" can be a "D." 
"F" can be a part of "E" and so on. After many revisions you end up with a glyph of your desire. 




The means used and the way it happens are simple, the inverse of scientific. I use a formula, created by instinctive guess and *arbitrarily* formed, not evolved by hypothesis and experiment. The law of sorcery is its own law, using sympathetic symbols. 
- Austin Osman Spare 

Sigils are monograms of thought, for the government of energy ... a mathematical means of symbolising desire and giving it form that has the virtue of preventing any thought and association on that particular desire (at the magical time), escaping the detection of the Ego, so that it does not restrain or attach such desire to its own transitory images, memories and worries, but allows it free passage to the sub-consciousness. 

--A.O.Spare, "The Book Of Pleasure"

I recommend this site for an example of a sigil made this way as well as a more detailed description.
If i am still being a bit too vague try looking at the link.

Sigilization

This my numerical system of sigilization. First off, a sigil is a symbol of intent. Sigils are commonly drawn symbols but can be names, pictures, sounds, etc. Grant Morrison's comic book "the invisibles" is a form of a sigil. 


First off this is my key. Basic numerical chart. 


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
----------------- 
a b c d e f g h i 
j k l m n o p q r 
s t u v w x y z 


Now... i write my statement of intent and translate the letters into numbers. 


My intent is to protect myself from negative energies 
47 952552 91 26 7962532 471536 6964 55712945 55597951 


Next, i add the numbers of each individual word together. 
I usually do the adding in my head and not on paper to add extra energy =) 


Ex: My 4+7=11 --- 1+1=2 
when all are added together we end up with 


My intent is to protect myself from negative energies 
2 1 1 8 7 8 7 2 1 


So altogether we end up with 


211878721 


Now, i translate these numbers back into possible letters. 


2 1 1 8 7 8 7 2 1 
b a a h g h g b a 
k j j q p q p k j 
t s s z y z y t s 


From here, i create a name using a letter from each number. 
I usually choose the one that i find first, gut instinct and all. And, im not afraid to simplify! with this particular one i would 
take out a few letters just because it is so long. Generally for sigils i use every letter, but when using this for creating servitors i simplify and make the name sound neat. 


Kajhyk is what i came up with. 
From here i combine the letters of the name into a sigil. 
Yes, this does seem quite elaborate and unnecessary but it all adds energy!
