Long Overdue Updates from the Metaquest...

Here I am posing with some Pacific-Northwest style totemic signposts that are located at my current homebase, Thunder Bluff.

HAIL GUILD MEMBERS AND SCHOLARLY ENTHUSIASTS!

I humbly apologize for the epic delay with blogging. These quests have been so time and health (mana) consuming, I have rarely had any chance to reflect upon these sublime situations!

The last time I reported for you, I had barely made the Armory at Level 10...

Since then, I have accomplished some major milestones related to my Metaquest:

I - I have reached Level 22 as of 3 hours ago.

II - I have already successfully performed two arcane rituals with the Guild. The First one was a Fyre Scrying ritual that enabled the Guild to begin visualizing the multifaceted visages of Owzl Owwan Oaaz.

You can view this moving reflection by click on this link!

I will discuss this initiation ritual in more detail at a later date.

I have also conducted the first elemental totem ritual. I should have documentation of this Earth Totem ritual that took place at The Great Lift in a few weeks but for now, I will need you to have faith that this legendary event had in fact transpired...

III - I have acquired three of the required four elemental totems and only have 8 more levels to aspire towards until my magickal-mana-cal power source has been properly established. I now have Earth, Fire and Water totems.

Please scroll down this blog to view more images...

Here I am at level 21 posing near the Sepulcher.

Here I am posing with all three of my required elemental totems... From left to right:
Water Totem (brand new),
Earth Totem, and my Fire Totem .

My goal is to complete level 30 and acquire the final Air Totem and then charge the remaining elemental rituals for Owwzl to be fully alive on the Astral Plane.

For now, I wish to thank many of my fellow Guild members who are still helping me with both my Totem Questing, Level Grinding and the Rituals themselves:

LONG LIVE THE ARS VIRTUA GUILD!
FOR THE HORDE! FOR OWZL!

Sigilbringer's Metaquest in the World of Warcraft... A Top-Secret Totemic Evocation

Greetings!

My name is Sigilbringer. I am a troll shaman who works within the Ars Virtua Artists Guild.

I have decided to embark on a self-generated quest that goes beyond the regular gameplay and roleplay in the World of Warcraft.

On the surface, it will appear that I am going ahead with the usual magickal totem quests and tasks that is typical of a troll shaman who works for The Horde.

However, I am probably one of a few elite shamans in this World of Willcraft (as I like to call it) that also has access to occult realms that exist in another dimension that runs parallel to all Warcraft and non-gameplay realms....this realm is known to some as the "astral" realm.

To perpetuate the urban myth that playing "games" such as World of Warcraft leads to genuine occult-driven practices, I plan to work with my comrades in the Ars Virtua Guild with the endgame of charging what is known as a "hyper-sigil" within the context of Sigil Magick... My previous supernatural experience within the performance-art realm involves the art of scrying and group Tulpa creation.

My aesthetic goal is to harness/harvest the collective (and perhaps occasionally obsessive) Will of the Ars Virtua Guild members (and affiliates) towards the charging and eventual creation of an entity known either as a Tulpa or an Egregore in another world that exists parallel to the World or Warcraft and what we consider to be our "Real Life" (RL).

This entity already has its own custom sigil drawn by the author outside of WoW. This entity will henceforth have the name "Owzl Owwan Oaaz". The members of the Guild as well as selected special guests (such as Netwurker Mez a.k.a. Bowwtoxx The Bouncer) will have knowledge of my custom sigil in their unconscious mind via post-game emailed transmissions of the image.

The players will be encouraged to play their raids and quests as they usually do while having this sigil embedded into their collective subconscious.

Although this entity has been created and nurtured entirely within the confines of the WoW interface and community, Owzl will actually be inhabiting the legendary astral realm as a tribute deity to one of the 72 formerly imprisoned "demons" of the Grimoire known as The Goetia (Lemegeton Clavicula Salamonis or "The Lesser Key of Solomon").

In order to keep the spell-crafting "pure", the name of the attributed demon will not be revealed outside the inner mind-realm of the conjuring sorcerer/shaman (me).

As a troll shaman, I will weave the collective will of the guild towards this endgame by using the conventional and restrictive narrative and game-play of WoW in order to escape the interface altogether and to activate entities in realms that are beyond the World of Warcraft. The nature of this particular Will-crafted entity will possess all the characteristics that would run contrary to the medieval aesthetic to be found exclusively "in-game". As a result, Owzl will never be a conventional medieval Grimoire demon but instead would be created with the purpose of functioning as a 21st-century style quantum-entity.

In other words, the medieval role-play energy of WoW will be converted into a meta-medieval parallel dimension.

I am fully aware that performing such a ritual over an extended period of time may cause a substantial amount of personal metaphysical and psychological risk in my post-game life since there are many warnings about dabbling in such "Black" Arts as Sorcery and "Demon" Evocation.

In my case, I see this type of risk as embodying one of the necessary endurance trials that are viewed as a pre-requisite to fulfilling my place in the performance art-historical canon (i.e. "no pain, no gain").

Metaquest Goals: As a troll shaman initiate, I plan to work intimately with AV to recruit other troll shamans on the Demon Soul server in order to help me place charged totems into the configuration/pattern of the sigil.

If there are a shortage of shamans, I might ask some AV guild members to create some troll shaman ALTs to get at least to level 10 in order to complete their totem quest. Ideally, I would work towards level 30 since that would enable me to fulfill my totemic ambitions and acquire totems from each of the 4 elements.

It appears in the short-term that I will also need to aspire to the bare minimum of level 10 in order to appear publicly as a Guild Member.

As a member of the Ars Virtua Guild, I plan to appear during their "office hours" on Sundays to gradually import the hypersigil pattern into WoW as an alternate way to charge the Entity's lifeforce.
