Everything presented here is simply magic that I have tested and practiced for myself. Though many in-depth books have been written on these topics, I’ve studied none of them-other than to make a study of my favored symbol systems, mostly the runic alphabet. But I’ve had personal success with these methods and hope you will too. The rest I’ve figured out through trial and error, the way all creative things must be explored.Īm I a reigning expert on this topic? Not by a long shot. Magicians and rune masters have passed on some of their methods to me, for which I am grateful. To be clear: I’ve studied symbol and sigil magic for many years on my own. I use several methods myself and will pass along what I’ve practiced to you. We’re going to talk about several ways to design these symbolic signatures. One mark carries your magical intention into the cosmos. To design a sigil is to design a representation of one part of yourself that will be your ambassador in the world. What does that mean? The mark is a representation, telling us that the object is backed up with the authority and approval of the owner of the seal. What is a signature, but a representation of a being or a thing? A person is not her signature, but her signature represents who she is.Ī seal offers a mark of authenticity. I like to think of sigils as symbolic signatures. SYMBOLIC SIGNATURESĪsigil is a sign, or a seal. REGARDING SIGILS Three rays ending in a crown, topped by a quill pen. Most importantly: there are also instructions on designing and implementing your own sigils. This book includes discussion on navigating the creative process, action items to help us on our way, and sigils to help with many of the steps. It voices words that must be spoken.īut too many of us feel locked out of that flow. Creativity also shines a light on things that must be seen. It provides beauty, comfort, understanding, and sometimes, escape. The creative impulse gives us hope, and keeps us going. In times of upheaval and strife, creativity becomes even more important. The world itself is forever in the cycles of creation and destruction, composting, renewal, and creativity again. There are many books on the topic, but I'm most interested in using sigils to help fuel the magic of creativity. Sigil magic is the art of crafting and harnessing these symbols. Letters are coded marks that form sounds, words, concepts, and ideas. Now think of using these symbols and signatures to ask for what you want, need, or desire.Įvery alphabet tells a story using symbols. Think of a maker's mark on the bottom of a silver dish, or clay pot. Sigils represent something outside the symbol itself, and stand in as representatives for that thing. They evoke, calling forth that which we wish to manifest. The power of magic flows through all acts of creation.
