Before you begin sigil work, it is important to understand what a sigil it.
Generally speaking, it is a symbol considered to have magical powers. They are often used in magical rituals to summon spirits or effect change. To create a sigil, first choose a word, phrase, or name to represent the desired outcome. Then reduce the chosen name or phrase to a single symbol. This symbol is then inscribed or painted onto a piece of paper or parchment. The sigil is then charged with energy, often through visualization or meditation.
Why are people so fascinated with sigils? According to Barbara G. Walker (The Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects):
“So readily and intensely do human beings respond to symbols that it is hardly a surprise to find symbols deified and divinized in every human culture. People seem prone to attach feelings of awe to their own works, especially when the works bear esthetic significances, such as an orderly symmetry.”
How to Create Your Sigil
A sigil is a simple, personal symbol that can be used to represent your goals, desires, or intentions. They can be created using any style of artwork, but they should be easy enough for you to draw and remember.
To create your own sigil:
Start by drawing a simple design that represents your goal or intention.
Add a word or phrase representing your goal or intention to the design.
Use your inner self to connect the symbol.
You can use your sigil to help you focus on your goal or intention, or you can carry it with you as a reminder of your goal. You can also use it as part of a spell or ritual.
If you have trouble creating your sigil, you can use a sigil generator. I recommend Trinary Web-App (aka Chaos Magick Sigil Generator).
