Prosperity Workshop

At a recent Pagan Center workshop on Prosperity, I learned a new mad skill from Ya-Ya Hex: Sigils!


A sigil is a symbol created for a specific magical purpose. A sigil is usually made up of a complex combination of several specific symbols or geometric figures, each with a specific meaning or intent.

The term sigil derives from the Latin sigillum, meaning "seal", though it may also be related to the Hebrew סגולה (segulah meaning "word, action, or item of spiritual effect"). A sigil may have an abstract, pictorial or semi-abstract form. The current use of the term is derived from Renaissance magic, which was in turn inspired by the magical traditions of antiquity.

In modern uses, the concept was mostly popularized by Austin Osman Spare, who published a method by which the words of a statement of intent are reduced into an abstract design; the sigil is then charged with the will of the creator. ~ Wiki



As taught to me by Hex.....

Statement:
Enter With Love

Remove the vowles:
NTRWTHLV

Remove duplicate letters:
NTRWHLV

Write the first letter and then build the remaining letters off of the first letter.......
