Assuming you have a unique character or symbol that you associate with.
How do you incorporate it in your Magick? Do you base rituals on it etc?
I have a symbol that (to me) represents connection to my Magickal persona, and I use it in almost all rituals. As a sign of authority, blessing and even recognition. I had a couple of hoodies and a beanie embroidered with it. Dope yo.
I also engraved it into a piece of slate that functions as a small altar to my Magickal self.
I only shared it with one person. Was a big deal to me. She didn't give a fck
How do you use yours?
I've always had a kind of "characteristic" in terms of my energies which I often get manifested on me and around me, however in my practices, these things had less "role" to play, but had proper value in terms of empowering myself, recharge.
In spite of this, I've decided to use own sigils, crystals, incenses and different elements to support people who asked for help from me. I've noticed that approaching a Soul like you'd do to other entities, can help some people to be able to focus easier on me, my energy and feel it, so I've created personalised sigils and suggested different tools for this purpose. Many magickians are "feel the need" to hold onto tools like this, which is not a problem, however with this attitude you set up your own limits, and effectiveness of your magic. Since you are the magic, you are the carrier of the power and energy, you are the source, not the tools you actually use - these can help, but by themselves, they won't do the trick.
In my works, psychology was always a great part, a very important one when it comes to other people - but same true in my case, I prefer to always keep an eye on myself and the current situation as a third person, leaving behind my emotions and observing myself with sheer rationality -, because it is a very core of magick itself, and lot of people have barriers. A lot of barriers. So when I used my tools, personalized my items and sigils for a cause while working with someone (cleansing, banishing, "taking out entities", protection, training/teaching etc.) I always try to pay attention to they traits, mindset, nature and working on them too. We can even say that working with me might involve a kind of psychological "therapy" for a greater cause, to reach your own self and manifest your energy, powrers and knowledge. Some people need tools to getting helped out, and so I provide them, based on the details.
This may also indicate why I don't use self-created tools.
