Like when you're drawing those pentagrams, when you're doing that ritual, I mean, think about what you're doing. Like when you're drawing, when you do the invoking ritual of the pentagram, and you know how when you invoke, you start at the top and you draw down here. So each of those 4 points of this pentagram represent one of the elements plus spirit above, right? So when you draw this pentagram, what you are symbolically doing is draw— and okay, so spirit is here, earth is down here. You are symbolically connecting heaven to earth. You are drawing heaven down into the physical level of reality. Every single time you do this, what you're doing is sending— you know, you're doing stuff energetically, but also you're talking to yourself. You are telling yourself, do this, bring more God through me, bring more light through me into the world. Like, you're pulling that down. It's, it's in a way, it's still sigil magic.
