What is the Entry Plug?
The Entry Plug is a technique rooted in invoking the self into a constructed or symbolic vessel, akin to the fictional 'Entry Plug' from anime lore. In practical magic, it is a device that aligns the pilot's soul with the Eva, a process that can be seen as a form of invocation or spiritual integration. In Pop Culture Magick, the Entry Plug is also called a throne of the Soul, emphasizing its role as a sacred seat for spiritual union. #
How the Entry Plug Works
The core function of the Entry Plug is to is a synchronizing device that allows you to invoke their consciousness into a specific energetic or symbolic vessel. This is achieved through focused intent, visualization, and ritual work. You may visualize themselves entering the entry plug, imagining the process as a sacred invocation that aligns their spiritual energy with the intended purpose. This employs sigil magick, visualization, and resonant symbolism to facilitate this union. For example, charging a sigil with the image of the Eva or the pilot can enhance the invocation. The process often involves meditative states, where you mentally 'enters' the plug, establishing a direct link between their consciousness and the desired energetic form. #
