A Sacred Glyph

A Sigil is a one-of-a-kind emblem charged with your unique and personal desire for transformation. Sigil magic is a potent and ancient method of turning your personal intentions into magical symbols. These symbols act as energetic “containers” that carry your desires directly to your subconscious—and out into the universe. Unlike spoken affirmations, sigils work through visual language, bypassing mental resistance and embedding your intention into the energetic field.

Why Sigil Magic Works

Sigil magic operates by bridging intention, creativity, and subconscious activation. When you create and charge a sigil, you:

–Clarify your desire into a single, focused intention

–Encode that intention visually in a way the subconscious understands

–Empower the symbol with energy and emotion

–Let go, allowing the universe to do the work

1. Write Your Intention Clearly

Use a positive, present-tense phrase. Example: “I am confident and grounded in my truth.” Avoid using negatives like “don’t” or “won’t.”

2. Remove Repeating Letters

From your phrase, eliminate all repeating letters so each one appears only once. Example phrase: “I am confident and grounded in my truth”, becomes: IAMCONFDEGURTH.

Examples: 

Intention: “I am safe.”

Unique Letters: IAMSEF

________

Intention: “I attract love.”

Unique Letters: IATRCLV

_________

Intention: “I choose peace.”

Unique Letters: ICHOSP

_________

3. Create a Symbol from the Letters

Use the remaining letters as inspiration to construct a unique symbol. Get creative: layer, twist, stretch, or mirror the letters into abstract shapes. Your final sigil should look like a symbolic image, not legible text. Go down the rabbit-hole of Sigil Magic and see examples of sigil images. 

4. Charge Your Sigil Infuse it with energy using one (or more) of the following methods:

—Meditation: Hold the sigil in your mind’s eye while visualizing your intention. 

—Grid: Create a grid with a platonic set and incorporate your sigil into the grid during an activating meditation. 

—Breath: Blow on the sigil or whisper your desire over it.

—Candle Flame: Pass the sigil over a candle flame (safely) to activate it.

—Clary Sage Essential Oil: Dress your candle with an activating manifesting essential oil like Clary Sage before lighting it. 

—Movement: Dance, chant, or drum while focusing on the sigil.

Use Your Sigil in Many Different Ways as a Reminder of an Intention

—Draw it in your journal, on your mirror, or on your altar. Placing sigils in a visible location can reinforce your focus. 

—Drawing sigils on bookmarks can be a subtle way to keep your intentions in mind.

—Wear it as body art. Some people choose to get sigil tattoos as a permanent reminder of their intentions. (Temporary tattoos can work too). 

—Wear it as jewelry. Sigils can be incorporated into jewelry, such as pendants or bracelets. 

—Carry it with you. Keeping sigils with you as a constant reminder of your intentions can be a very powerful subconscious strategy.

—Place it under your pillow or in your wallet. 

—Add it to candles, spell jars, or vision boards. Carving sigils into candles can be used to channel intention during candle magic.

Pro Tip: Combine Sigils with Affirmations

Write an affirmation to match your sigil and say it during charging: “I am grounded. I am confident. My truth is my power.”

Sigil magic is subtle, sacred, and deeply personal. It's not about how perfect the symbol looks—it’s about the energy you infuse into it. The moment you create and charge your sigil, the transformation begins.

Symbols speak where words fall short. Create yours, charge it with purpose, and let the magic unfold.

Engaging in these practices can lead to profound personal growth, helping to dismantle limiting beliefs and cultivate a mindset aligned with your true potential.
