I'm wondering if NXIVM could be some type of sigil magic

1. Create a statement of intent

First, write down your desire very clearly, like this:

IT IS MY WILL TO BE OFFERED RED FRUIT

Scan the letters and cross out any repeating ones, as follows:

IT xS MY Wxxx xO BE xFxxRxD xxx xxUxx

Which leaves us with the following letters remaining:

ITSMYWOBEFRDU

There. Now you’ve done the first stage – creating your statement of intent, and simplifying it.
