Sigils are quickly becoming one of my top five most used spiritual tools. Here’s what I have observed from my own experience and others who have experimented with sigils: • • • • • • • • • • • • You feel empowered You feel more responsible for your life, choices, and actions You become more aware of the interconnected nature of reality You get to express your creative side You become more decisive and intentional You feel more motivated You learn the difference between lust and desire (more on this in the “shadow side of sigils” section below) You recognize yourself as a conscious co-creator of your life You feel connected with Life/Divine more deeply You develop more hope knowing that most situations can change if you will them to And of course … Your life can change dramatically and drastically in accordance with your intent! Please know that spirituality isn’t meant to be solely about passivity, surrender, and the destruction of ego – it can also be about creation. As always, I prefer to follow the path of the middle and have balance in my own spiritual practice. How Do Sigils Work? Sigils are essentially like little seeds that are planted within the unconscious mind. Many things enter the depths of our minds, but not all of them are placed there intentionally or take root. What gives sigils their power is the energy and intention behind them – and that is what helps them to sprout and blossom into manifestation. The symbolic nature of the sigil also helps bypass the rational (skeptical) mind and enter the unconscious where possibilities are endless. As the language of the deep mind is symbolic, sigils basically ‘speak’ to your unconscious. How cool is that? The Dark Side of Sigil Creation One of the biggest issues I first had with sigils is that it goes against the well- known spiritual philosophy of, “desire equals suffering.”
