Brand New :) [Sigils]

Hey there Shandra!

First I'd like to say that I'm glad to hear that you're interested in sigils! I recently became very interested as well and I have some things I can share with you about them...

I'll break it down into a few explanations that'll be short and to the point!

1. Decide what the sigil is supposed to be used for. This can be pretty specific If you wish it to be.

For instance, the sigil can be used for something in the category of Love. You could create sigils based on the word "Romance" or "Togetherness". Both have to do with Love in different aspects but invoke different intentions on your part. Listen to your gut and choose a word that feels right in your context.

2. If you pin down the meaning of your sigil, write a little paragraph that precisely puts this intention into words. For example, "I have more romance in my life." If you want to add a little clause for safety, that's totally possible too! Such as, "This sigil can neither hurt me or anyone else."

3. Drawing the sigil. This is where you get to be creative and choose symbols or images that represent the feeling of the sigil. You could doodle something that's completely random like squiggles, circles and lines or pick images that commonly represent love like hearts, two intersecting rings, the silhouette of two people hugging, anything goes! You can't make mistakes here, everything that captures your intention is allowed.

4. Now you have your sigil and you'd like to activate it. Some people draw the sigil on a piece of paper and set it on fire to activate the effects. Some people submerge their sigil-paper in water until it dissolves, some simply draw it in the air where they want to activate it. I personally use the latter. I blow on the imaginary sigil I just drew three times and set the intention to activate it. I'm a Libra and the element of air resonates with me the best.

You can draw it with your finger over or on food before eating it, you can draw/carve it into a rock and throw it into a lake. There's boundless possibilities!

If you'd like to let the sigil work over time or in a controlled manner, it's possible to carve the sigil into a candle and light it every time you need it or simply leaving the sigil somewhere tucked in a room, car, sow it into a piece of clothing and that way its effects stick around the area it is in. If you feel the energy has gone stale, repeat the process with a brand new piece of paper or touch the old one and speak the intention to imbue it with more of your energy.

Lastly, should you share your sigils openly... That's something only you can decide. Generally speaking, people will add their own meaning to sigils, even subconsciously and it may skew/dilute or even weaken the intention you set upon it. Sigils can be something very personal or very open. If you feel like this is a good idea, try it with a sigil you create specifically for the space it's going to be displayed in. See how it feels. Connect with the energy you left in the sigil and feel into the fiber of its being. If at any point you are unhappy, do what feels right in the moment to fix what feels out of place!

Remember, your intentions are key.

Everything else will fall into place!

I hope this was helpful <3

First and foremost.... LOVE the name 😂 seems familiar.

Secondly I am also brand new so I cant offer much advice but I made a sigil for being healthy and I activated it by drawing it on a piece of paper and setting it on fire.

And I'm in shock still by how well it's been working for me. I am a 24/7 soda drinker. Water who? Never met her. I do love tea but its much easier to crack open a can of soda. But since I made that sigil and keep one with me I've been drinking more tea and actual just... water!?! So I strongly recommend activating the sigil in that way, if that way calls to you.
