		<description>yeah, it's like chaos magick for dummies.  

during the late sixties and seventies there were a lot of cheesy books published like 'occult secrets of wealth and power!' and 'increase your sex life through the wisdom of the ancient masters!'  they were basically watered down 'creative visualization' books, pop-occultism.  i had a few that i kept along for larfs.  reminds me of those.

here's an example:

		<description>This just looks like sigil working to me. 

Anybody could make this work, but... *shrug* I've seen more interesting methods that work on the same fundamental premise.</description>

		<description>I think you're being a bit harsh here. The site is a bit naive and superficial but the site's creator is offering all this service for free, for example:

&lt;i&gt;In case any body feel that he/she is a victim of Black Magic/ Witch craft, we will cure the person, by our healing method, a service to the human kind free of cost.&lt;/i&gt;

He just might be a natural intuitive or psychic and people like that are often not very subtle or cultivated in their intellectual style.

The psychosymbology technique closely resembles the use of a mantram for psychospiritual development. People with more visual-spatial sensibilities might prefer it to the chanting or repetition of a word-sound. Either way, the person is honouring a specific psychic energy, a deity or spirit (depending on the language one prefers).

Yes, it shares much with magical thinking but we all have a magical thinker within, do we not? Pleasing that part of us might have some merit.
