I recently tried a few new things in my rituals. One of which was drawing sigils onto myself before the ritual.
The sigils I drew were designed to help pull more power from the current I was was working with and also one of the spirit I was evoking.
It seemed to work pretty well for me, definitely felt as though I was pulling in more power and channelling with less effort.
Anyway, just thought I’d share that with you. Not sure if this is a common practice or not? Either way, it’s well worth a try.
I read recently about an ritual, before which you should draw with blood or blood mixed paint the sigil of Lilith on the palm of your left hand, and Samael’s sigil on the palm of your right hand.
~I guess that if you work with entities which represent aspects/faces of one,
its probably not that uncommon.
like:
if you work with lilith and samael
if you work with lilith (red serpent) and hecate (black serpent)
if you work with the serpents of zohak
if you work with khavah(as the pure which brings the corruption) and naamah
i would NOT recommend this unless you have COMPLETE and TOTAL control over said spirits.
Echo has a point, marking your body with the signature of an entity usually proclaims you as “theirs”. So unless you want to open yourself to the risk of being claimed, either don’t draw anything you can’t erase, or use sigils for energies instead of spirits.
All great points, erasable marker pen for a spirit you’re working with under a contract that leaves no doubt, this WILL boost your power, I’ve done it myself, but it’s not something to do as a first approach in most situations, with most spirits.
I used to draw a tattoo like abstract design or just use removable tattoos somewhere on exposed area. I would charge that with the intention whatever was. like"when x looks at the draw feels x,y,z" depends on situation and what I wanted. It was pretty fun. I don’t have much energy lately to do shit like this anymore, slowly the warfare I am in is consuming me down…I draw Algiz rune fore protection on me. But I never tried a sigil…I think is a wonderful idea to experiment. Although I don’t know people’s reactions around though when they see it…even so I am looked at as…unusual and different …
You could hide it within a design so it’s not obvious, but you’d need the tattoo artist to know what they were doing so they got the sigil correct and the art to detract from it being too obvious.
Although Azazel’s sigil, and Bael’s, would fit right in with some sciencey kinds of tattoos.
