Sigils – Personal, Magiqal, and Symbolic!
SO!
Like I said in the discord, I’m going to begin making sigils. These will be personal ones, ones for magiqal effects (like shielding), or just for the fun of it!
I’ll be using a few different methods of making them, so who knows what will come about.
Will also post some instructions on how to create your own sigils and symbols.
cause who wouldnt want to painstakingly get better at drawing by drawing odd abstract shapes for a while!?
More to come!

I would be interested in developing my own personal magiqal sigil. Looking forward for more to come.
-
Okay!
it would depend on what you’re looking for out of the sigil.
could be quite a few permutations of it.
the art is a bit fo a living process.

I’m really curious to make a “Common Drum” sigil, and what it will look like!
-
I’ll be posting a couple images of sigils i’ve built/drawn in teh past, and we can go from there
-
-
-
and these were done with a variety of different styles. which i’ll expound upon should someone ask.
-
These are brilliant @grimangel53!

Omg they look awesome!! I really like the sigils on the third image!
-
The Aqua one is speaking to me, personally. The combo of anchor and fountain pen, really inspired.
-
That one is for one of my Personality/Character/Thought Fragments.
In my mind, she’s a writer, but is also intrinsically tied with the element of water and the sea.

I’m really intrigued by the one under “pixie dust” in the last photo. Is it runic symbols of some kind, or something else?
-
the pixie dust one itself is an interpretation of pixie dust, (and given that i work on a boat for disney) i chose to use the Disney D as the center piece.
the ones underneath it are the names of the 4 ships, with the first letter of the ship’s name in theban as the centerpiece. so they are an interesting type of rune/sigil
-
I’m partial to the “Dawn” sigil, it’s really lovely.
-
she’s a traveler, so i went with the idea of a compass rose for her.
i enjoy making them. im still short like… 2, i think, out of my fragments

These are all lovely, the trust one makes me think of Trusted Confidant
-
feel free to use it as you will!
they’re meant to be used with good intent
(and the three are great in sequence! FAITH TRUST and PIXIE DUST!)
is a giant dork
-
btw, the bottom ones in the faith and trust boxes are the finished product.
-
-
The top right one inside a box looks really cool to me
-
second or forth picture?
-
-
Dang, Grim! I am in awe of your logo design skills. I am absolutely in love with those anchors
-
the one that says arcan is more supposed to be a bow. but eh. i’ll take an anchor.
-
-
Pixie dust is my favorite!
-
So @grimangel53, do you have a process for these? And do the ones you posted have any particular magiqal effects?
-
i do. but it depends on the style. the four that look like shapes made of lines? specific process.
the more intricate drawn ones? different process.
faith trust and pixie dust? another one entirely.
the four underneath those? different too.
and there is also the ones that apparently didint get uploaded which is another process.
(some of these are self made processes, some are ones i found on places like tumblr,)
I’d say the ones on page two and four are more apt for magic, while the ones on pages 1 and 3 are more for personal use and are made with specific intent. I’d use them to really put myself into that character’s state of mind. like give them the ability to drive for a while.
the ones on pages 2 and 4, those are more general purpose ones.
and i have ways of building those out.
give me a word. or a phrase, or a concept.
and we’ll start there.
-
Cool! Okay, so, here’s a word/concept for you to try: fireproof. (One I could use for a number of reasons.)
-
okay. lets start.
okay. i have 3 options. one via the way i did the disney trio, one via the way i did the ship quartet, or one via another way.
Edit: once you pick, im going to type out the steps and probably draw somehting as well.
-
I’m really interested in the way you did the ship quartet, so let’s go with that one?
-
okay then we start with the Theban Letter F. as the base.
and we take the word Fireproof and break it down
use all consonants once. F R P .
and then we arrange them to look like a pattern we’d like.
-
I might have to post the picture tomorrow, as i dont ahve a good cable here for the thing im using for pictures.
but i have at least a prelim sketch.
-
Super excited to see it whenever you get a chance to post.

I just found these, and may I say, these are beautiful. I’ve always liked the idea of words and symbols having magiq. If you think about it they already have some, words and symbols bring forth ideas into your mind and can even mesmerize you and be associated with mindsets and ideologies. In my opinion its quite beautiful.
-
Cheers! I like making sigils as easier ways to put magiq into the world. They give form to the symbols and abstract in your mind. And they can be easily applied.
Plus, they make for easy small spells.
