Attention is your most precious resource.
We only have a limited supply of attention
Most of our attention is eaten up by egotistical concerns, leaving little to nothing available for magical work.
You have to work with what you have, and mine the ego for more, not to make yourself a better person, but because that's the only place to free up more attention.

Attention flows naturally along associations we form between concepts.
These associations converge into nexus points (arcehtypes)
These associations are not absolute, and can be changed and engineered (with repetition, emotional reinforcement, and novelty)

All components of magic are there only to help focus your attention, inference points.

aaaaaaaaannnnnd Time!

Got most of it out.

Some red sparkles on the dot really makes these bad boys pop.

99 sigils of Ellis in my pocket
99 sigils of Ellis
I take one out, I toss it somewhere
and I've got 98 sigils of Ellis in my pocket

98 sigils of Ellis in my pocket...

two days ago i woke up and was laying in bed for a few more minutes. all of a sudden my heart started to race and the inside of my body got extremely hot. it felt like my heart and insides were bring to break out of my body and were bouncing around. I was also shaking uncontrollably and couldn't move my body.

Sounds like you experienced "The Vibrations".  A very common, somewhat notorious experienced had by the OBE and Astral crowd.  Usually happens right before.

and i heard a woman's voice say she could "make my hands feel washed if she wanted me to" and i asked who she was and she claimed to be my great grandmother, to which i said i knew she wasn't. Then i think this is where the dream starts, if her voice wasn't in the dream anyway.

You were falling asleep, in the hypnogogic stage, where it it not uncommon to experience auditory hallucinations.  Most often they are visual, and very rarely tactile.  These hallucinations act as seeds that the dream builds it's self around.  That's clearly the case with the dream filling in around that voice.

As for what it was you saw, that's never an easy call to make.  All I know is if you can manage to stay aware as you fall asleep, you start to experience a LOT of freaky shit.

Hi Nomad.  Was wondering when you'd show up in the occult forums.

Did you have any knowledge of Ellis before hand?

Nomad!  Welcome.  It's kind of dead around here, most members only use the facebook site.  I tried, but I hate the layout and functionality of facebook. 

I was looking at that sigil I drew, and it was WAY off!  I had a mental fart on the hand placement, and there was absolutely nothing about that sigil that indicated the time I intended.  Yet it was my intention for that time that trumped the actuality of the sigil.

You might want to look into Inkscape
http://www.inkscape.org/en/

It's free, simple, and pretty much the "go to" tool most people use for vector graphics, which is what give you nice clean lines and curves.

Ellis just looks great as the hands to a time piece. 

I was trying to influence a job interview today, and drew Ellis in a circle with standard clock marks, the dot at the time I wanted the interview to be.  Instead, that was the time they called me to arrange the interview.  Close enough. 

Has anyone made an Ellis large enough to show up on Google Earth?  People love finding those sorts of things.

Images on google earth can take up to 3 years to update, so I'd have to make something a bit more permanent that a crop circle.
Clearing paths in fields or in the bush could work.  Spreading stones, gravel or sand maybe.   Really, I guess it will ultimately depend on what I have available in the area.  I want to do some prospecting this summer anyways, so I'm sure I'll come across a suitable area for a space Ellis.

There we go, my bad on the form. 

Discussing magic on facebook?  You're not supposed to shit where you eat, lol.

Might want to check the registration forms.  I did not intend to use my real name here.  I generally go by The Cusp.  Putting a "The" in front of your name is a Time Lord thing.

After receiving my copy of Liber Sigillum and learning what the currents are, I realized I've been part of the 156/663 current all along!  I've always been a Merry Prankster, just born a generation too late to ride that bus.

I don't generally do much sigil work, but I do have an affinity for Ellis.  The other egregores don't really speak to me.
