Once you have your sigil all charged up, and filled with your intent all there is left to do is to cast it into the universe to gain what you want, and desire. This casting into the universe can be done in two ways actively, or passively. Both of these ways have their own benefits, and setbacks, but it is important to determine which way you should activate certain types of sigils, because it changes the way the energy is released into the universe, and allowed to manifest. So we will be taking a look at both these activation styles, and when they would be most effective to use over the other one.
Active Sigil Activation:
In active sigil activation the energy is usually released all at once, or in a very immediate fashion. This is usually done through the means of destroying the sigil to allow all its energy to manifest at once. This type of activation is good for sigils that only have to be used once, or in a single situation. Sigils I would use in this activation method would be sigils for banishing, exorcising, purifying, cleansing, manifesting, summoning spirits, removing negative energy, removing spiritual blockages, removing emotional blockages, and one off curses, among many others.
Ways to activate active sigils:
Putting the sigil on a piece of paper, and burning it in fire
Putting the sigil on a piece of paper, and submerging it in water until it dissolves.
Putting the sigil on a piece of paper, and ripping the paper in half.
Drawing the sigil in to the sand at the beach, and letting the sea wash it away.
Drawing the sigil in the air with your energy, and pushing through it in order to destroy it.
Making the sigil out of dust, or powder, and then blowing it away to destroy it.
Making the sigil in your mind, and then imagining it being destroyed to activate it.
Putting the sigil on food then eating it.
Drawing the sigil on a firework, and then set it off.
Drawing the sigil on a balloon, and then pop it.
Drawing the sigil on your body, and then wash it away.
Singing the sigil out loud for all to hear.
playing a music, or an audio sigil out loud for all to hear.
and much more…
Passive Sigil Activation:
In passive sigil activation the energy is usually released overtime through a very moderate, and controlled fashion. This is done through the means of charging a sigil, and keeping the sigil around with you, or in the area where the energy is needed for it to continuously produce its energy. This type of activation is good for sigils that are needed to continuously affect the world around them. Sigils I would use in this activation method would be sigils for protection, luck, empowerment, healing, psychic abilities, transformation, attracting energy, retaining energy, changing, and continuous curses, among many others.
Ways to activate Passive Sigils:
Putting the sigil on a piece of paper.
Drawing the sigil on your body.
Carving sigils into a candle, and lighting the candle.
Carving sigils into soap, and washing your body with the soap.
Making a sigil amulet.
Writing the sigils upon stone.
Placing the sigil as your computer, or phone background.
Four Pentacles of the Moon – “Clavicula Salomonis”, (The Key of Solomon), 14th century.
First Pentacle of the Moon “This serveth against all perils and dangers by water, and if it should chance that the Spirits of the Moon should excite and cause great rain and exceeding tempests about the Circle, in order to astonish and terrify thee; on showing unto them this Pentacle, it will all speedily cease.”
Second Pentacle of the Moon “This being duly borne with thee when upon a journey…serveth against all attacks by night and against every kind of danger and peril by Water.”
Third Pentacle of the Moon “This defendeth thee from all evil sources, and from all injury unto soul or body. Its Angel, Sophiel, giveth the knowledge of the virtue of all herbs and stones; and unto whomsoever shall name him, he will procure the knowledge of all.”
Fourth Pentacle of the Moon “It serveth to have answers in sleep. Its Angel Iachadiel serveth unto destruction and loss, as well as unto the destruction of enemies. Thou mayest also call upon him by Abdon and Dalé again.“
Samuel Liddel MacGregor Mathers – The Magical Circle of King Solomon, “The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King”, 1904.
THE MAGICAL CIRCLE This is the form of the Magical Circle of King Solomon, the which he made that he might preserve himself therein from the malice of the Evil Spirits. This Magical circle is to be made 9 feet across, and the Divine Names are to be written round it, beginning at Ehyeh, and ending at Levanah, Luna.
THE MAGICAL TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON This is the Form of the Magical Triangle, into which Solomon did command the Evil Spirits. It is to be made at 2 feet distance from the Magical Circle and it is 3 feet across. Note that this triangle is to be placed toward that quarter where unto the Spirit belongeth. And the base of the triangle is to be nearest unto the Circle, the apex pointing in the direction of the quarter of the Spirit. Observe thou also the Moon in thy working. Anaphaxeton is sometimes written Anepheneton.
The coiled serpent is only shown in one private codex, the Hebrew names being in most cases simply written round in a somewhat spiral arrangement within the double circle. It is to be remembered that Hebrew is always written from right to left, instead of from left to right like ordinary European languages. The small Maltese crosses are placed to mark the conclusion of each separate set of Hebrew names. These names are those of the Deity Angels and Archangels allotted by the Qabalists to each of the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations.
In English letters they run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent: ✠ Ehyeh Kether Metatron Chaioth ha-Qadesh Rashith Ha-Galgalim S.M.M. (for “Sphere of the Primum Mobile”) ✠ Iah Chockmah Ratziel Auphanium Masloth S.S.F. (for “Sphere of the Fixed Stars,” or S.Z. for “Sphere of the Zodiac”) ✠ Iehovah Elohim Binah Tzaphquiel Aralim Shabbathai S. (for “Sphere”) of Saturn ✠ El Chesed Tzadquiel Chaschmalim Tzedeq S. of Jupiter ✠ Elohim Gibor Geburah Kamael Seraphim Madim S. of Mars ✠ Iehovah Eloah Va-Daäth Tiphereth Raphaël Malakim Shemesh S. of the Sun ✠ Iehovah Tzabaoth Netzach Haniel Elohim Nogah S. of Venus. ✠ Elohim Tzabaoth Hod Michaël Beni Elohim Kokav S. of Mercury ✠ Shaddaï El Chai Iesod Gabriel Cherubim Leanah S. of the Moon ✠.

Sigils are symbols that are given a certain magical property. Sigils can help with many different types of magical practices by being a part of spells, or by being used as a talisman. The act of making sigils has been around forever, but are primarily used in Chaos magic. You can make sigils for practically anything. Making a Sigil is a fun, and creative process. I would say it is one of the more creative things you will do on your path. Now I will type a step by step on how to make a sigil…
Choose what you would like your Sigil to do. This could be things such as a sigil to protect you, to find love, to gain luck, to call on a spirit, to bind, and much more. You can create one for about anything you want, the only thing that could limit you is your imagination.
Now you must write down your intentions in a sentence. Many chaos magicians write this sentence differently. Some choose to write present tense like “I will find love” and others choose to write past tense “I am loved by another”. All you really need to do is get your intentions into a single sentence. I have found many ways to do this but they all work the same.(refer to Figure 1)
Once you have your sentence it is time to get rid of all vowels, and any consonants that repeat. Go through the sentencing cross out any letters that fit this description.(refer to Figure 2)
Now here is the most fun and creative part of this entire process. Once you end up with the letters that are left you must rearrange the letters into a symbol. The letters can look any way you want them to. they just have to be incorporated into the symbol. You can take the letters and put them into different alphabets. You can write them upside down, sideways or even in a mirrored version of the letter. Once you have incorporated all the letters into the symbol. make sure the symbol feels good to you and don’t be afraid to restart if it does not. once you are 100% okay with the symbol you made draw a circle around it. (refer to Figure 3) Some chaos magicians believe after you make a sigil you should hide it a way, and forget about it, but in my experience, and the experiences of my peers. This is not entirely necessary for the sigil to work.
Now you have to charge the Sigil. Charging the Sigil is what gives the symbol its power. There are thousands of ways to charge it and it seems every time I turn around there’s a new way to do it. You can charge a sigil through pushing energy into it through your hands, meditating on the sigil, dancing around the sigil, chanting over the sigil, or masturbating to it. Once you do one of these things you can put your hand over the sigil to see if you can feel the energy in it. If you feel the energy it is charged.
Now find a place where you can keep the sigil. I recommend a place where you can always see it. By seeing it, and acknowledging its presence you will charge the sigil more.
That’s all there is to it. The Sigil Will then begin to perform your desired outcome. As long as it has the energy to do so.
Sigil magick is a powerful, and practical occult art form that can be used to manifest your desires. By understanding the practices, and theory behind sigil magick you will be able to learn this practice for yourself, and bring it into your life, and working. This will be written from my understanding of sigil magick, and will be based not only in chaos magick, but from the perspective of other practitioners, and paradigms that I have gained understanding from, because of this it will be very eclectic, and syncretic in nature, and will hopefully provide a very good overview of sigil magick as a whole. This is a practice that can be very fun, creative, and practical and we’ll be able to help you in many aspects of your life, if you are willing to go through the process of learning it.
What are sigils:
The concept of a sigil can be a pretty hard thing to define, but for the best understanding of it I believe we should start with the word itself. The word sigil comes from the Latin word “Sigillum” which was defined as a seal, or signet. It also may have been connected to the Hebrew word סגולה (segula) meaning charm, or tailsman. The way that I would define a sigil in a magickal sense of the word is a symbol that represents an intent, construct, or entity. These symbols can be used in order to manifest desires, summon forth entities, and represent constructs, and ideas. They are powerful tools that can be used in magick, and can take the shape of anything that can be used as a representation for something else. These sigils are not only limited to shapes, and ligatures but can be things such as, items, videos, literature, sounds, and even music, along with many other things. These sigils are very versatile, and we’ll be able to be used in all sorts of situations. They can be a pretty complicated idea to get your head around in the very beginning, but once you get it you will be able to understand all the ins-and-outs of these magickal constructs.
Primary theories of sigil magick:
Sigil magick is primarily understood from 3 different theories of understanding, these theories being the way of understanding how sigils are able to manifest. Practitioners will usually work with one of these theories, and will understand sigil magick from that point of view. From what I understand all of these theories are legitimate, and should not be looked at separately, but much rather together in order to have a higher understanding of the ins-and-outs of sigil manifestation. These theories I like to refer to as energy theory, consciousness theory, and psychological theory.
Goat pentagram —— “La Clef de la Magie Noire” by Stanislas de Guaita, 1897. Later to become associated with Baphomet, and the Sabbatic Goat. Samael —— and then Lilith, a demon in mythology. The Hebrew letters in the circle spell out Leviathan. This symbol was later accepted by the Church of Satan, 1969 and officially named it —— Sigil of Baphomet
Every witch creates sigils in different ways, often more than one way work for them but no matter what, if you focus on your intent sigils all work just as well. In this post I’m going to explain the way I make most of my sigils.
How to.
First I write out my intent for the sigil I need and remove all the double letters.
Next I draw a circle and evenly spread vowels around the inner circumference and the rest of the alphabet on the outer circumference.
Now the actual sigil making starts. I join up the letters in the order of the intent we wrote out above.
Finally I translate the sigil off the letter frame and make any additions I feel like is needed, these additions usually consist of making a line thicker or adding a dot or a circle.
And you’re done! Most of my sigils charge through your presence (auras and energy) or light but you can focus them to charge however you want of course!
As always, I’m here if you have any questions or just want to chat, I love talking to new people.
How to make sigils
a sigil is a symbol that you make that acts as like a spell and helps you achieve a goal.
You have to make a sentence of your desire in capital letters.
You get rid of every repeating letter.
Then you simplify the letters into basic shapes.
Then you design the sigil into a pattern that you like.
(You should encase your sigil into a shape to keep its energies on track)
The sigil is internalized/ activated.
Some quick ways to activate your sigils
-sleep with it
-masturbate and during climax concentrate on the sigil image.
-visualize the sigil working
The sigil is banished so you forget what it means. Or you can destroy the sigil.
Quick way to banish the sigil
-roaring laughter (then think of something completely different)
-you can also burn it and scatter the ashes
<<<<((The faster you forget the sigil, the more effective the operation))
After activation and internalization of a sigil you should not think of the symbol itself nor if it’s meaning. If the sigils image or meaning pop back into your head you must recharge and banish it again.
Some ways to use sigils
-carved into rings
-amulet
-sewn into cloths or on pouches
-written on cigarettes
-draw it on a piece of paper and carry it with you
– draw it on cement with chalk
-draw it on a flower pot
-draw it into dough (cookie, bread, crust)
-draw it in your soup or cake dough or coffee/tea
<<<<<The time it takes for a sigil to work is somewhat unpredictable. Sometimes success will be instant ; sometimes it may take months.
<<<<there are many different types of sigil making methods (the pictorial method, the mantrical spell method, the alphabet of desire ,constructing sigils with planetary cameas (magical squares), working with atavistic nostalgia ), this is just my favorite type.
