A sigil of creativity! It is also inscribed on my sketchbook, so I will never lack for artistic inspiration!
Sigils are little symbols that can channel intent to do spells or help in rituals. I find sigils are very low energy, and good for witches in the broom closet- or however you categorize being a secret witch. Stick these bad boys on the bottom of your shoe, as a doodle in a notebook, on a random sheet of paper, and no one will ever know!
There are several methods for making sigils. I’ll make a post covering each. Today, we’re covering the 1-9 Method! (If there’s an actual name for that pls tell me)
The 1-9 Method is a method where you assign each letter of the alphabet a number between 1 and 9 to make a sigil.
The first step is to take the alphabet and put it into a chart, with 9 columns, each labeled 1-9, so it’s organized something like this:
Once you get that all finished, pick a word or a phrase; I’m going to use “protection”.
This is where things get a little dicey. Some people say you have to drop all repeat letters. Some say repeats and vowels. I personally view that as garbage; doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid way to make a sigil. I just think that we organized the whole damn alphabet into 9 columns, so we should use the whole damn alphabet! I drop my repeats, so “protection” looks a like this:
Protection = Protecin
After that, we match every letter with its number on the table.
Protecin = 79625395
Now draw a circle. Divide it into 9 pieces, and start with your first number; in my case 7. Find point 7, and move to point 9, then 6, so on and so forth. Here’s how my circle started out versus how it ended:
I tried to include arrows, but it looks a bit confusing……. *sigh*
ALL Witches welcome. 🖤
I also recommend this book! Honestly, Holly Black is just good at writing the fae in general! Read all her faerie books!! I love the Tithe series and her Folk of the Air series, too.
If you guys are looking for a good novel about the fae pls read “The Darkest Part of the Forest” by Holly Black it’s one of my favourite books. The world building and characters are just amazing!!!!
The last of my cards in the major arcana! Yay!
I’m writing my grimoire like an instructional book, because if I pretend I’m teaching someone, I tend to explain the concept better, and it flows better.
To work with this, I am going to either post pictures of the book or copy sections to my blog. It begins tomorrow, so let’s hope it goes well!
I‘m a witch!
Are there any witches/Pagans out here in Tumblr Land? No one I know in real life is, and I'm feeling pretty alone in it.
I was dropping my sister off at Girl Scouts at the nearby elementary school, and as I’m leaving, I’m looking at all these cute little locker stickers with the kids’ names on them, you know, names like “Kyle”, “Mary”, and “Trevor”. Then I passed a locker and backtracked.
The locker said Eowyn, and I thought, “This girl is either going places or doing something stupid and reckless.”
what is the Worst fandom-reference baby name you’ve ever seen in the wild
Hi! I want a free reading please! My question is: How can I have more patience with myself? I am always impulsive with my energy because I feel like I am wasting so much time without doing something and then I can't do anything right. I almost failed all my college classes because of this so that's a big problem for me rn. Sorry if my english is bad, I am still learning :')
Hello there! My Silmarilion deck wished to be used- so here we go!
Where you are now/ Where you want to be/ How to get there
Where you are now: Irmo, reversed
You feel this is unachievable for you. Stuck, in a spot you do not feel comfortable in, and that you wish you could get out of, but that feels out of reach.
Where you want to be: Mairon
Patience is likely only half the issue. There is something more going on here that I cannot see right now. In any case, make sure that you figure out the other part of the problem.
How to get there: Yavanna, reversed
Form new habits- it only takes a month to start a new habit. Find something to fidget with, like a worry stone or a piece of jewelry. You will likely not see the results of this for some time. But as long as you take care of what you have started, you should be fine.
I hope this helped you!
I am a baby witch, who specializes in sigilcraft and herbs. I would be happy to make sigils for anyone who needs one! This is to help me explore my craft, and if you would help me, I would greatly appreciate it! I ask for no money, unless you want to give me knowledge. Which is also greatly appreciated, by the way.
• Mai • They/them • 18 • A safe space for witches who are in the same boat I was, not super long ago. Divination, plants, and faeries are my specialties!
