How to: Sigils

What is a Sigil?

A sigil is a symbol with a mystical or magical meaning. The term sigil deriving from the Latin sigillum, meaning "seal".

Historically speaking the term sigil referred to a type of pictorial signature of an angel, daemon, or spirits, for example, The Lesser Key of Solomon that contains the sigils for the princes in the hierarchy of hell. These sigils were believed to be a representation of the true name of the spirit and thus granted the magical practitioner some control over the being.

A chaos magic sigil is different from these historic sigils because we’re not calling upon any particular spirit, instead using a personal intention or goal to formulate and charge a custom symbol, the intention setting being crucial. Crafting a sigil begins by coming up with a sentence or phrase which best encapsulates what we’d like to achieve.

FIRST: the way you can activate said sigils is by

Burning

Burying

Flushing down the toilet

Dissolving in water

Simply drawing on it, and concentrating on your intention

Meditate with the sigil in hand

If you decide to burn it you could keep the ashes for black salt or curses/hexes/jinxes(depending on what the sigil was for)

SECOND: there are many ways to create a sigil, from simply free-hand draw the sigil with the intention clear in your head, or using tabels .

THE WORD METHOD VER.1

This method relies on words. It requires you to express clearly what you want and it must be said as you already have said thing and not as a whish for the future.

ex: Am curaj/Am curajul de care am nevoie (I am brave) -> the correct way, present tense

Vreau sa am curaj (I want to be brave)-> the wrong way, future tense

So for example, let's say I want courage/bravery, I would start with something like:

AM CURAJ

And from there, I will get rid of any duplicate letters. Resulting in: AM CURJ

In this method, we won't be getting rid of the vowels since this method can also be used as a mantra as well by rearranging( or not) the remaining letters to form something that can roll off the tongue.

ex: AM CURJ, MA JURC, JARUMC etc.

After all these steps have been done, the visual aspect of the sigil can be done.

This will be done by:

A. Overlapping the letters

B. Placing them however you like

C. Breaking the letters into simple lines and shapes

Both designs can be decorated once decided upon.

For example:

At this point it is quite apparent that letters can be rotated, turned upside down, manipulated in any way really. This gives a lot of creative freedom and uniques to your sigil.

VER.2

The second version of this method is the same as above, but we also take out the vowels.

THE PICTORIAL METHOD

In this method we create a visual representation of the sigil we want. Continuing with the "courage" sigil, in the pictorial method should be an image which for the practitioner, in this example, represents courage.

Most people associate courage with warriors, lions, etc, so for this the basic for of the pictorial sigil of courage would be:

A brave warrior whose core is their heart, equipped with a mighty sword for their bravery and a shield for courage, for being resilient and not giving up.

Now, you can stop here, OR we can take it a step further. Using the basic lines from the stick figure we can create another sigil.

AGAIN, you can manipulate the shapes and decorate the sigil however you want to.

THE SIGIL WHEEL

Using a sigil wheel like this:

We can create with these methods:

a) the word method, but we connect the letters with straight or curved lines.

b) for every word the phrase has we create a separate sigil and then combine them

METHOD A:

METHOD B:

THE TABLE METHOD

The table method is very much the same as the wheel but square shaped and instead of letters we will use numbers assigned to letters.

This first chart is the correspondence from letter to number.

This following chart will be the one we will draw after.

Using the example of " CURAJ " the sigil will look like:

So we can see that some letters are in the sane spot, in drawing we can fix that like this:

Any of these designs can represent a repetition, you can also just ignore the repetition if it's one after the other but I'd suggest at least using curved lines if it’s a number you came back to after a while.

And from here on, you can decorate it as you please.

Try it out for yourself, you might find peace and happynes in sigils :)

DISCERNMENT

discernment , noun

the ability to judge well. "an astonishing lack of discernment"

Source: languages.oup.com

Discernment is the ability to judge well and, in religious contexts, understand spiritual progress.

Discernment is vital to any thriving, stable religious community, practice and individual for without it, we can lose ourselves. We can mistake our own voice for the voices of the gods.

Not everything is a sign, a spirit, a god, an ancestor or magic.

I think all of us know when, and when not, to yell " AHA, MAGIC!", however for my peace of mind please go thru' this with me:

Before saying "Oh a spirit is here/talking to me" :

Have you taken your meds?

Are you 110% sure you don't have ANY underlying medical condition that may cause you to hallucinate in any way, shape or form?

You smell something weird? Go get your house inspected for mold, a gas leak or a dead animal hiding somewhere in your home.

Cold Spots? Again. Get your home checked out.

Creaking when no one is home? Your house/building is probably shifting/setting in, it happens to both old and new builds. Get it inspected just to be safe.

Sibling or child saying weird ass shit they shouldn't have any idea about? They probably have an imaginary friend, having fun by saying things they have seen/heard on the net, TV or from other friends. If it still freaks you out, seek a mental health professional to rule out anything that could be causing them to say creepy-ass things. Better safe than sorry.

Hearing thumps in the dark of night? Check to see if any trees or bushes are hitting your house, make sure an animal you aren’t aware of isn’t making the noises, hell, yell at your neighbors if you share a wall/ ceiling . If you can’t find a cause, get it checked out by a professional.

Scratching in or on the walls? Could be a rodent or your own pets. Get it checked out.

Is there any physical explanation outside of yourself for the sign you have received, maybe a friend or family member you didn't know was home? Is the radio or TV on in the other room? Is your neighbor watching a movie, listening to music very loudly? Is this animal that you are suddenly seeing a lot of and interpreting as a sign actually just more active this time of year and very local to your area? Did someone just walk by wearing way too much perfume?

If things happen when you think of them it’s possible you might be placebo-ing yourself into believing a spirit is causing this. For example, you see a roll of paper very close to the edge, you think "It's gonna fall" and it does. It was close to the edge, of course it'll fall at one point or another.

Have you eaten enough? Have you had enough water to drink? Have you had enough sleep?

If you have checked all mundane reasons for what is being experienced by you or someone you know, then go onto spiritual reasons. You can always cleanse or pray before you get things checked out, but to assume it’s always a spirit is dangerous. You could put people at risk especially if it’s just rodents, a creaking house, or a gas leak.

Those problems can easily be taken care of if dealt soon enough with, however ignoring them can lead to a lot worse, especially if thinking it's a spirit without second thought. Mass hysteria is real people.

Spirituality should not replace mundane reasons.

"But what if I am 99.99% sure it IS a sign/spirit?" you say... Well

How often does x, y and/or z occur in your life?

If xyz occurs so much, to the point where you usually don’t even notice it anymore, it is probably not a sign.

Do you normally see xyz this time of year or during this time of the day?

If xyz is normally seen during that time of year, it is probably not a sign, when I'd visit my grandparents in the country side I'd always see toads during the night. Animals and birds can be local to the area, as can plants

Is xyz a common thing that science explains?

If science can quickly explain something away, static electricity, your device shutting down due to overheating, or something else really mundane, it, probably, is not a sign.

"I keep seeing x animal, THAT must be a sign!"

Is the animal often seen? IS THE ANIMAL LOCAL TO THE AREA?

Did seeing the animal create a specific feeling or change an existing one? Did the animal give a specific mental imagery?

Was the animal doing anything out of the ordinary?

Have similar displays been seen recently but not commonly?

"I received message through a dream" ok, but:

Do you usually remember dreams?

If you don't usually remember dreams, this could indicate a potential message the dream might give a specific and literal message, or interpretation may be required, however I'd still be skeptic, the human mind is a crazy place.

The dream keeps on repeating?

If the same dream keeps occurring, many people try to see if there is a meaning behind it, for example, if the same thing keeps happening over and over in one dream, it could show importance in said repeated thing.

"I keep seeing the shape of xyz in abc" (such as clouds, smoke, liquids, plants et cetera):

Are you prone to seeing shapes? Were you looking for shapes with someone already in mind? Are those shapes really what I think they are or just there because I am thinking of xyz?

Are you seeing other random shapes?

Is it really a shape or are you grasping at straws?

Some people see shapes or faces in everything( see: face pareidolia) while others do not, which category are you ?

SPIRITUALITY SHOULD NOT REPLACE MUNDANE REASONS. SPIRITUALITY SHOULD BE AN ACCESORY TO SCIENTIFIC WAYS.
