Let’s make a sigil!

Last week, I promised to show you how to create your own sigil (find last week’s post on sigils here).

What’s a sigil? It’s a magical symbol used for attraction, manifestation, or protection. It’s a way to bypass your logical brain and get to the mystical.

First, decide what you want to attract or manifest and write it down. Use positive verbs in the present tense. So, I am deeply loved rather than I don’t want to be alone. Avoid using want because you might create more wanting instead of the thing you want. Be as concise and specific as possible.

Now it’s time to decide how artistic you’re going to be. If you’re feeling creative, use some symbols to represent what you want: a heart for love, a diamond for wealth, an arrow for forward motion, a sun for happiness… you get the picture.

Above is an example of a sigil for good luck. Can you spot the symbols used and what they mean? If not, that’s ok. This is supposed to be highly personal.
If you’re not feeling artistic, look at the phrase or sentence you wrote for what you want. Cross out the vowels and any repeating letters. Now, arrange the letters into a unique pattern.

Here’s an example. What I’d like to manifest is health, so my sentence is

            I AM HEALTHY

Taking out the vowels and repeating letters, I’m left with

            H L T Y M

I arranged them like this

And then added some flair with dots, lines, crescents, and a star.

Keep your sigil where you can see it. Or draw it on your body with scented oil. Or carve it into a candle with a pin and let the candle burn out (safely, please). Or write it in the sand with a stick and let the waves take it to the Universe. Write it in chalk and let the rain carry it away. Do whatever feels right for getting your intention out where it can become reality.
