Sigil It, Just a Little Bit

For Kel – and anyone else who’s interested :) I am faaaaaar from anything near approaching “experienced” in using sigil magic, but I have an undeniable attraction to it. Ironically enough, I was sigilising before I consciously knew what I was doing, but that stopped when my art stopped. One day we will be reunited. Until then, happy reading!

SIGIL ALL THE THINGS:

  • Start with Gordon @ Rune Soup’s Sigil Reboot and then move on to everything else he has written about sigils. His approach makes the most sense to me, especially with regards to not having to forget the sigil once you’ve created it.
  • [1] Go to Phil Hine’s website. [2] Lose the next 3 months of your life. [3] Profit!
  • Must read: Pop Magic! by Grant Morrison
  • Background reading – the father of modern ChM, Austin Osman Spare
  • Oh, if I must – TRADITION!
  • A folk magic approach and, in the interest of fairness, a rant
  • Here. Have fun.
  • A tutorial for creating easy sigil mandalas
  • Using magic squares
  • Gettin’ Ceremonial up in hea-yah with the Rose Cross Sigil Creator
  • Alternatively, use a witch’s wheel
  • Hazel’s elegant sigils
  • 3-D crafted sigils by the Man in Mink
  • An example of sigilising, from Frater U.D.’s Practical Sigil Magic
  • It’s a magic binky! Sigil scarf – great for empaths/introverts/anxiety balls to wear in public
  • Sigil poetry
  • 5th Aeon’s Neo-Terraphim Alphabet of Influences, based on A.O.S.’s Alphabet of Desire
  • Oh, the possibilities! CircleArt
  • Don’t forget teh lulz
  • You’re going to see these words a helluva lot: servitors and egregores
  • Leveling up – using sigils to create servitors
  •  
    Suggested supplemental reading:

  • Basic Geometry (it’s totally Mathematical!)
  • Sacred Geometry (it’s totally Art!)
  • Robert Anton Wilson (I feel there is a strong link between quantum dynamics and ChM)
  • Alan Moore’s thoughts on magic (just… tie a rope around your waist before you go in)
  • Bindrunes (proceed with caution: runes have their own inherent magic)
  •

    1. Sigil Magick takes practice, patience, and a willingness to let go. My first casting was the most successful, but also changed my entire life so drastically, I became hesitant to try again. Thanks for including my work in this post, I’ve been writing on how I use it for a book I’ve been writing. It’s spread pretty far since then.
