What I’ve Learned About Sigils
What Are They?: Sigils are a type of magick or spell. Put simply, they’re symbols. The purpose of the sigil is embedded into them when they are created. Why Use Them?: They’re versatile, easy to make even on the spot. They’re also very beginner friendly. How Can I Make Them?: There’s many, many methods which I will link below. For now we’re going to go over how I make them! - 1. Find a way to associate every letter in the alphabet with a number. I just write out a grid of squares, then wrote 1 to 9 on the top line and the alphabet in order below. So A is 1, B is 2, i is 9, N is 5, ect. All that matters is you have a way to make letters into numbers. 2. Draw out a wheel and write all the numbers you will be using on it, order isn’t important to me personally. It could be random. I used 1 to 9 so you could do that. 3. Write out your intent. Try to be specific, and keep negatives out of the sentence. For example, don’t say “I am not sad” instead say “I am happy.” 4. Take the first letter of every word in your sentence of intent, and put them together. Sometimes I take out the common words like “the” but it’s up to you. As an example, “I am happy” would be IAH. 5. Using your method of transferring letters to numbers, turn the letters you got into numbers. IAH is now 918. 6. Draw out the shape of the sigil on the number wheel, go from 9 to 1 to 8. You have a basic shape now. 7. Customize it to your liking. You’re done! I might experiment with other methods or change mine up in the future. - Other Methods To Check Out: - 1 - 2 - 3 Can I Make My Own Method?: Absolutely! As long as you’re happy with it and it creates results, you can do whatever you want. Activation: Sigils must be activated to be effective. You can burn them. Or you can crumple them up and throw them away. No matter what method you use, you need to forget about them after you activate them. A Few Tips: - Sigil magick can take a while, it’s a simple method so if you are working at something complex it may take weeks or months. Be patient. - Do not burn printer paper it will smell like a living hell, any other type of paper will do. - If you have trouble forgetting about the sigil, don’t worry about it. It may not work, this stuff takes practice. What About Permanent Sigils? I’ve gotten this question on several occasions, it goes something like “What about when they say to put a protective sigil in your grimoire? Do you need to charge it? Do you forget about it too? How does that work?” I think this is up to the practitioner and their methods. I often charge sigils I plan to use over and over or keep with me under the full moon. As far as my grimoire goes, I drew the sigil in it and forgot it was there for weeks since I was onto the other pages so much, it’s really about the person and the situation in which magick is taking place. What Is Charging?: Charging is empowering an object, or tool. Anything you use for witchcraft really. The way this applies to sigils is that if you have a sigil you want to continue to maintain power or a certain effect, you can choose to charge it. How Do I Charge?: I typically charge things with moonlight. It works well for sigils. You could also bury things, or use visualization. It’s up to you! The Review Of Everything: So, if you want to do sigil magick. Let’s go over the steps you need to take. - Figure out the intent of the sigil - Pick a method - Draw it - Activate it - Charge it (If it’s a permanent sigil) You’re done! Conclusion: There we go! Hopefully you know more about sigils, what they are and how to make them. I hope this helps someone! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
