New Logo
I have created a new logo for hyperRitual, for my new business cards. It is a sign for Uranus (Ouranos), who has featured largely in my magical work, and will have a significant role in the robomancy stuff I am developing.
Astrologically modern interpretations associate Uranus with the principles of genius, individuality, new and unconventional ideas, discoveries, electricity, inventions, and the beginnings of the industrial revolution [cf. cybernetics]. Uranus governs societies, clubs, and any group dedicated to humanitarian or progressive ideals [cf. transhumanism]. Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In society, it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. // Wikipedia: Planets in Astrology: Uranus
The symbol may be variously interpreted, but I prefer to see it as suggesting transition over, above, or beyond the ordinary or traditional magic circle, which is what hyper-ritual has always been about.
Bardon’s The Practice of Magical Evocation
The next method for impregnation is the so-called charge with magic volts, using, for this purpose, the electromagnetic fluid. The volt is charged, after its creation, with an electromagnetic fluid. The qualities of the intelligence in question are concentrated into the centre of the volt by help of imagination, imperturbable confidence and sure power, and are so condensed by repeated action that the metal of the talisman absorbs the volt. When the process of charging by volts is repeated, the magician has to concentrate on the wish that the intelligence in question is connected to that particular volt and that it will bring about by it the desired causes in the Akasha-world, and with them the desired effects.
I picked up an excellent copy of Franz Bardon’s The Practice of Magical Evocation, at Half Price Books, today. Electronic copies are easily found, but the sigils look outstanding in print. Here are some photos:
Doctor Who PCB Medals
These are like the PCB sigils I wrote about, last year, and the PCB talismans being created for the Electronomicon, but are cut to be worn around the neck or carried in a pocket.

Urban Magickal Experiment
“An open-source, location-based hypersigilization experiment” involving QR codes placed about Athens, that link to a video sigil intended to “make people more aware of themselves, their surroundings and their planet.” Check it out: Urban Magickal Experiment (UrbMagE).
