When you make sigils yourself for yourself to use, it becomes your own personal kind of magick. I see people sharing and using other practitioners’ sigils online but for this reason, it simply does not work. The important thing to remember about sigil crafting is you need to create your own design in order for it to work and it will only work for you. Chaos magick is different from folk magick in that everything is specifically your own ideas and beliefs, there are no traditions passed down or common knowledge or references shared. The way we use sigils today comes from the chaos magick practice. Thinking of it in this way, a sigil is like a magickal signature or seal that shows your authority in crafting your spells. Sigil comes from the Latin word for “seal,” which is also the root of the word signature.
A kitchen witch may draw sigils for health in their soups while stirring or breads before baking. A green witch may use them to bury in the soil near their plants to encourage them to grow. There is something in sigil crafting for everyone. If you have never used sigils in your practice and you are a creative and artistic witch, you will love getting to know all about sigils and how to make them.
