Working with Spirits: Sigils
Had a deep conversation over on Tiktok with a fellow practitioner concerning Sigils, their creation and the theories on how and why they work. We focused less on the creation and more on the theories behind their effectiveness and so I wanted to share my own experience from my own paradigm: as a spirit-worker.
So, sigils are graphic representations that reach our Lower Self (according to the psychological model). The Lower Self is also called the Child Self as it is our subconscious mind. It is called the Child Self because it speaks in images and symbols (usually through dreams), and our Middle Self, or Consciousness interprets the symbols for practical understanding.
When most people make sigils, they take a positive affirmation, phrase or name, and make a graphic representation of it. These then become a focal point for our altered state of consciousness. Sigils, according to the idea of working with Spirits are Signatures of those Spirits. And our Grimoires are full of them. Whether Goetic, Angelic or otherwise, Sigils have been a mainstream of Occult wisdom.
And most important, THEY WORK. No matter your paradigm. To me, when we create a Sigil we are creating a connection to an ALREADY EXISTING ENTITY. Its like discovering the phone number of a person that could potentially help in manifesting said goal. Some people feel these are ARTIFICIAL constructions, elementals or egregious only here to serve the bidding of theor creator. But, I find this to continue idea that mankind is somehow superior to all other animals and Spirits.
When we create a Sigil, we take a phrase...for instance:
I AM PROSPEROUS.
Then we get rid of repeating letters:
I A M P R O S E U
Then the full part, we rearrange the letters to form a NAME or a Mantra.
PAIMROSEU.
Then we would take either a relevant Planetary Square and translate the letters into numbers to create our sigil, or we could take the letters into any alphabet to create a design that is aesthetically pleasing.
This we would then have sitting on our altar as focal point. This is our "phone number". The name would be PAIMROSEU for the Spirit.
But, did I CREATE said entity? Or did I make a connection with an existing spirit?
