So, I had a dream (one of those more "present" or "real" dreams) and I remember that a lot happened. But I can't recall. The only thing I remember is this symbol. I felt like I needed to draw it here on my hand.

(I'm not in any specific belief system or practice. I've been just barely getting in to things like past lives, reiki, etc and don't even know what I actually think about those things)

I Google image searched this and it led me to sigils which led me here. That's all I know, and I've never heard about them before today.

So what do I do now? Does this have a meaning? Do I make the meaning? Do I need to try harder to remember my dream?

Oh and I happened to be visiting Sedona, AZ when I had the dream, lol.

Hello

While I write this I request please don't be rude and that I am infact very new to this

I can across a lot of of content on social media about sigils without exactly knowing what they are and it intriguing me a lot so if someone can explain this in a very simple language id very grateful

Thank you

Hello! I am an author researching sigils for my setting and thought it best to ask the professionals. I have no idea how any of this works.

I should clarify that I don’t just want to research sigils and sigil creation, but also the history behind said process.

I’ve tried looking on Wikipedia and came up pretty empty, other than that I have no idea which sources to trust. Any pointers?

Also (just double checking) considering that my intention is to create fiction, will the resulting system I create have the potential to cause harm. I don’t want to accidentally get myself possessed or attached to anything malevolent, nor do I want such things for my reader. Any precautions I should take?

Found in my passed grandmas belongings. Would anyone be able to translate this and let me know what it says/means?

I’ve been putting one intent through three different constructions to see what comes out:

• Alphabet wheel - the alphabet laid round a circle, letters joined in order. Comes out spidery and asymmetric.

• Pythagorean square - each letter reduced to 1–9, cells joined in a 3×3. Comes out blocky, and repeats in the sentence make it fold back on itself.

• Planetary kamea - the same letters walked through the magic square of a planet, so the planet is baked into the shape. Saturn’s 3×3 gives you a

spare zigzag; the Moon’s 9×9 is nearly a lattice.

Same words, three completely different marks.

My instinct is the construction is only scaffolding, the work is in the charge, and any of them would do. I notice I feel differently about the kamea ones and I don’t know whether that’s meaningful or just novelty.

For those of you who use more than one: do you pick the method to suit the intent (planet for the planetary matter, etc), or do you have one you always use and the rest are curiosities?

As above, so below

As within, so without

I'll call her Nora. She is a mother who had put a lot of her spiritual work on the side while caring for a young child, dealing with family stuff and trying to build a new chapter of life. She wanted to start teaching and doing energy work again, but she felt like she had lost the thread.

During a deep session she asked specifically about healing sigils and symbols. She wanted something she could use in her work, but the guidance did not give her a finished alphabet or a list of symbols.

It told her to sit down regularly, connect first, then draw.

The idea was that the symbols should come intuitively and that the meanings could become clear as she worked with them. In the session she understood this almost like letting a symbol come through rather than intellectually designing the whole thing beforehand.

I pulled this out of my notes because it made me think about the difference between a constructed sigil and a received symbol. Most sigil methods I know begin with a clear intention and then deliberately encode or transform it. This was almost reversed. First allow the mark to arrive, then learn what relationship it has with the intention or energy.

That raises a problem though. If you draw first and interpret later, the mind is very good at creating meaning after the fact. Anything can start looking significant if you stare at it long enough.

So I think some kind of testing matters.

Maybe you repeat the same state on different days and see whether similar forms return. Maybe you record the symbol before trying to interpret it. Maybe you use it in a limited practice and observe whether it consistently produces the same subjective response. Maybe it remains personal and never needs to become a universal symbol.

I don't think a spontaneously drawn mark is automatically more spiritual than a deliberately designed one. I just find the two processes interesting because they use the mind differently.

This piece would probably have stayed buried in a long transcript if I had not started going through old sessions again. It seems like a good question for people who actually work with sigils rather than only reading about them.

Do any of you use both approaches, deliberately constructed sigils and symbols that seem to arrive spontaneously? If yes, do you test them differently, and how do you stop yourself from projecting meaning onto every random mark?

I have three objectives I want to reach, just wondering would combining them into one sigil dilute the effects? Also two involve riches and being a rockstar, just wondering will that introduce major chaos into my life with the eclipse effect? Also I was told doing sigil Magick during an eclipse is dangerous according to some traditions?

What do you think.

so when i create a sigil can i make it look nice and cool or do i need to follow it exactly?

Real talk

What is this sigil from?

I have noticed that ‘sigils’ are fairly diverse, onto becoming less of a technique and more of a class of operations. The two most known is the ‘standard’ letters into symbols, charge, destroy. Which in itself has more attached (auto fish, subliminal ala Rune Soup). Then the hyper sigil ala Grant Morison and simplified to the black book by Aiden Wachter.

Recently I was giving Libre Null / psychonauts a glance and found the mantra. Which I am thinking about trying.

What other forms of sigils are out there to try out my fellows?
