Continuing my thoughts on Reiki for otherkin, the next stage after Awakening would seem to be Remembering.  The line between the two is, of course, subtle – many of my own Awakenings have involved the initial recovery of new memories.  I would say the distinction between these two stages is in the deep exploration of the memories uncovered and learning to work with them consciously.

This may involve dealing with traumas or attachments from previous lives, recognizing patterns, finding new information and perspectives, etc.  Alchemically, it corresponds to the process of dissolution.  In the existing tradition of otherkin Reiki, the symbol most often used for Remembering is the True Memory symbol channeled by Rialian.

To intentionally create a sigil for Remembering, we’d start with the magic square of Jupiter, pictured below:

Again going old-school, we’d use the hebrew word זכור, pronounced “zakor”, and meaning “remember” in the imperative sense as the basis for this sigil.  This word is composed (from right to left) by the letters Zayin (7), Kaph (20=2), Waw (6), and Resh (200=2).  Laid out on our magic square, the sigil would appear like this:

Which leaves us the following as our final sigil:

Again, a fairly simple sigil, and highly effective once properly charged and released.  This thoughtform has specifically been created with remembering and working with memories of non-human past lives in mind, rather than more mundane purposes or even remembering “what you need to know”.

Following up on my previous articles, Reiki from a Magical Perspective and Reiki Sigils, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the subject of what is termed “otherkin Reiki“.  This has largely referred to a school of Reiki as taught, used, mutated and mutilated by the members of the otherkin community.  My own practice sprang from this tradition.

But in addition to Reiki by otherkin, “otherkin Reiki” has also referred to Reiki for otherkin.  Reiki which deals with unique issues faced by otherkin.  For example, the True Form symbol, channeled by Eyovah, is commonly used by practitioners of otherkin Reiki to explore their nonhuman aspects and even to promote awakening.

As covered in my earlier articles, this is a sigil that links to a specific thoughtform which acts to reveal a person’s “true form”.  In some cases this revelation may help that person to awaken as otherkin.  Personally, while I do find uses for this symbol and include it in my own practice, I don’t connect well to the “true form” concept for otherkin as someone with multiple nonhuman past lives on different worlds and as different species.  So my first thought for truly otherkin Reiki is – what about a sigil to promote awakening?  Purely awakening, no reference to true forms much less a symbol suggestive of a particular (winged, if not draconic) form.

There are various methods I could use to construct such a sigil, but in this case I think I’ll stick with one of the more traditional methods.  A magic square.  Specifically, the magic square of Saturn since awakening is roughly equivalent to the alchemical operation of calcination associated with that planet.  Which looks like this:

Since I’m going old-school, I’ll also use the hebrew verb עוּר, pronounced “oor” and meaning “to rouse oneself, awake” as the basis for the sigil.  It is composed (from right to left) by the letters Ayin (70=7), Waw (6), and Resh (200=2).  We lay this out on our magic square as follows:

Which gives us, for our awakening sigil, this:

A simple and, once charged and released, very effective sigil to help promote awakening in otherkin.

There are probably a number of additional uses otherkin in particular could put Reiki-charged sigils to.  Several of which may represent additional stages of development corresponding to further alchemical processes.  I’ll be giving it some more thought, and writing additional articles in this series as I think of them and design appropriate sigils.  It is my hope to eventually compile a complete set of sigils and connected thoughtforms uniquely useful to otherkin and expanding beyond the set arrived at somewhat haphazardly through “channeling”.
