Interesting ... Curious, what happens if you delete the photo? Does that delete your intent and any results?

Depending on your leanings to chaos magick, deleting it after charging it might in fact be just the thing required, because it makes your conscious mind (which gets in the way) forget about it.

good point. thanks for shifting my pardigm :-)

Short answer: "What he said."

Expanded answer: Think of traditional Osman Spare usage of sigil magic, and the idea of "properly" disposing of any lingering physical (or visual, I suppose) remnants of the sigil once it has been charged and launched.

That's an amazing idea.
I don't really have handy photo tools, but I may very well aquire some now.

something similar that may or may not work (I havn't tried) is to crank up the sensitivity of your mouse, turn it over, and place your finger on the track ball. Allow your touch to sofen until it is clear that the track ball is registering the vibration of your minor movements and heart rate, and then make some marks in a paint program. Actually this sounds pretty far fetched... maybe if you were on a lot of speed it would work.

I'm into finding ways to record the minor movements of the body... like automatic writing, etc.

This may work better (or worse) with optical mice.

Also: automatic writing? PC keyboard as "ouija" contraption.

hey david. long time no interface. you should show this to the sigils LJ community. it's a cool method. i'm all about arbitrary but meaningful image generation.

reminds me of a picture i took a long time ago

Ted my friend. It has been long. I've really enjoyed your arbitrary image generation, although I've never found the right words to post reply. I catch up with Amanda from time to time... I hope all is well with you. I enjoy your picture.
