CREATE A SIGIL

A sigil is a sign or symbol that has been created to represent a particular intention. The use of sigils has a long history in the occult and even in a religious context, have been used by many ancient civilizations stretching back millennia. The word ‘sigil’ comes from the Latin word ‘sigillum’, meaning seal and is way of sealing your influence into a letter of manifestation.

Historically, sigils were used in ceremonial magic, where symbols were used to summon and control a specific entity, like an angel or demon, but today in modern day magic, sigils are used for personal matters such as attracting wealth, protection, healing, setting stronger boundaries and empowering ourselves and our community. It’s a good example of Chaos Magic, where an affirmation, statement, word, or name is converted to symbolic form which is charged with a specific intention and is an incredibly powerful form of manifestation.

To create a sigil, first you need to get specific about your intention. Your intentions are the heart and soul of your sigil and they are what give this kind of magic it’s power. Sit somewhere quiet and think with positive emotion what your intention means and how your life would look with this change.

Next, write down a word or sentence that reflects your intention. After this, draw up a sigil wheel either following the spiral method below or by assigning the letters of the alphabet to a number and creating a number wheel, whichever feels better for you. Then mark a line from letter to letter of your sentence to create a shape. Feel free to eliminate any repeating letters to make fewer lines and play around with the shapes to form your very own sigil.

Finally, you’ll need to charge your sigil. Spend some time sitting with this symbol in meditation by simply staring into it and letting the image imprint on your mind. Light a candle and burn it to activate your sigil and send it into the collective consciousness.
