Hyper Haunt Sigils (Excerpt)
∴ ‘The Haunted Evolution of The HyperSigil’
“…according to Grant Morrison, a hypersigil is “the concept beyond the static image and incorporates elements such as characterization, drama and plot…a sigil extended through the fourth dimension.”
ROSZ ALGOL is intended as a mutli-media hypersigil that is a culmination of these past couple years’ efforts in experimenting and creating artworks within my Hauntomancy praxis, Divergent Magicks, and their respective Dim Sessions and conjurations. It would be easy to term this major work as a hypersigil, right?
According to Grant Morrison, a hypersigil is “the concept beyond the static image and incorporates elements such as characterization, drama and plot…a sigil extended through the fourth dimension.” I’ve long referred to a variation of this Klintron Finley quote to describe a hypersigl, “The hypersigil is a dynamic miniature model of the magician’s universe, a hologram, microcosm, or ‘voodoo doll’ which can be manipulated in real time to produce changes in the macrocosmic environment of ‘real’ life“. Even though the schema, processes, intentions and specific communion with and through heteronyms like Revel Rosz or Dakota Slim differ, the overall definition remains true of my use.
Past artistick hypersigils such as, and especially, audiomantic sigils such as both Dakota Slim’s “Cactus Crown” and “BARDOS” is perfectly encapsulated within the widely accepted definition of a hypersigil. Quickly, Cactus Crown was a perfect snapshot of my post-2017 eclipse working, and a charmed first-cast of my then magickal evolution and love-lorn wooing of my current partner (another 7 year eclipse bounty). 2022’s BARDOS was a meditation on the astral & small deaths resolute to the pandemic, personal dark innards & outers, hexorcisms and doom-laden portends that foreshadow the forthcoming death & rebirth of my longheld moniker Dakota Slim (see: ZOZOBRA). A liminal dirge that has caused Dakota Slim to largely slumber in wait until the audio & literary hypersigil, ZOZOBRA, is ready to incur his complete transmutation from death to rebirth.
I never wrote much or released heavy details concerning the aforementioned Dakota Slim sigils, as I chose to reserve the magickal engineering of such magnanimous pieces only for those deeply interested. It was easy to hide behind that seeming-looky-loo “just an album” veneer, but occultniks would pick up on the thematic symbology throughout. It wasn’t until the continual documentarian, and little-death-parade-praxis of HAUNT MANUAL that it has occurred to me that those stories are worth telling, thusly, the continue to haunt on. Revealing my divergent magickal praxis, as hip-shot ramshackle and dirty birthed as it maybe, within the Hauntomancy Self-Spectre Workings and the magickal creation lore of many an artistick sigil, has now proposed that perhaps a Hauntomancy-specific hypersigil deviation is in order moving forward.
Hauntomancy has been my praxis to commune with hitherto lost, unheard or unrealized aspects-of-the-self through hauntologically totemic magickal rites that largely mix audiomancy (sound or musick sorcery) and other artistic means to e/invoke these ghosts of past-selves (referred to as self-spectres). This communion with memory and the e/invokation of prior phases of life have unearthed retired aspects of self, their forgotten projects and the many synapses of creativity therein.Ultimately, I’ve found a communion with a sort-of supra-self, a self outside-of-time, and dalliances with The Other and Holy Guardian Spectres alike. All this to say, a Hauntomancy hypersigil is quite specific.
Perhaps, then, if Chaos Magick is the phylum, the Hypersigil—the genus, and the Hauntomancy Hypersigil (or HauntSigil ?) would be it’s specific species. What, then, constitutes this (admittedly lazy named; I’ll keep cooking) HauntSigil? The simple equation would be something akin to a hypersigil that utilizes the praxis of Hauntomancy to create “a dynamic, miniature model of a magickian’s world created through the communion of many self-spectres into an artistic narrative that documents, discovers and discharges evolution of said magickian through intended and revelatory transfiguration.”
What, too wordy?
