I hope I can ask some (hopefully intelligent!) questions of the people on here. Yes, I am a beginner to the phenomena described on this site and having lurked for a good while, feel I am reasonably well informed (to a point).

For those of you who [b]may[/b] have the extra time (who does in fairness?!) pretty much the extent of my involvement in the occult is in the following (admittedly verbose) post on another forum site: http://jump.cur.lv/astralproj

Anyhow, I have developed some interest in Sigil Magick. I'm here to ask for some advice but honestly don't presume to know ANYTHING already and unlike some newbie posters I have seen here I do promise to take on board the advice I'm given, and to not be like "I WANT YOU ALL TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TO ACHIEVE X,Y AND Z BECAUSE YOU SURELY CAN'T BE DOING ANYTHING ELSE WITH YOUR TIME OTHER THAN TO GIVE ME INFORMATION I SHOULD REALLY BE RESEARCHING MYSELF."

Essentially what I would like to do here is to list down as concisely as I can what I intend to do, and before I dream of doing it, some of you can give me some pointers, caveats, warnings as you see fit. Experience is a great teacher and I'm hoping that some of you can impart your own experiences or knowledge of what experiences I can expect without managing to cause harm to myself or, more importantly, to anyone else. I've collected the information to attempt the following as outlined. Main questions are: a) Honestly how safe is this? b) On a ten point scale between "you're wasting your time 'cos nothing is going to happen whatsoever" through "be prepared for results which are sure to follow to blow your mind with how well they're going to work" and "I hope your affairs are in order 'cos you're gonna die" what's the prognosis? c) Should I honestly just leave this to the professionals?

So as briefly as I can (this is where I imagine most of you are going to go "here we go, another sledgehammer versus ant merchant" and scoff at me) I have three plans of action to effect the following:

THE ISSUE:
The girlfriend has decided the spark is gone, the romance is dead, she still loves me and always will, does not want me to not be a part of her life but as a couple we're done as far as she's concerned. Personally I'm none too chuffed about this turn of events and plan on pushing the event turning to complete a 360 and carry on as normal. I'm wavering between either Plan A, or a combination of Plans B/C below:

PLAN A:
Forget the idea of using magick, children who play with fire invariably get burned, be a man, romance her as best you can and IFF you get her back, be more vigilant in future.

PLAN B:
Write a specific sentence unambiguously stating what I want to achieve, remove the vowels and repeating letters, construct a sigil on paper, charge it with meditation over the next, say, five nights while keeping it somewhere about my person during the day and finally burn it while visualising the shape of the constructed sigil in my mind.

PLAN C:
Copy in pencil and then trace over in black pen or thick marker/sharpie the Sigil of Duke Zepar. Sit and meditate over the sigil following the instructions listed in this link from 1 - 7: http://jump.cur.lv/becomealivinggod
Add some details such as burning a small lock of my hair as an offering to Zepar since it's clearly not the done thing to ask for a favour and not give him something in return and I read somewhere else that he was happy with a lock of hair someone offered him. Be very respectful to him throughout. Thank him for coming, ask him to kindly leave and do as I've (carefully and specifically asked) and please not cause harm to me or anyone else, add his sigil to the flame that burned the hair and since his element is Air and Venus his planet scatter the ashes of the whole to the winds in the early morning when the morning star (Venus) is up in the sky.
