I’m getting asked how I make my seals frequently so here is a step by step guide for the forum.
How to make attractive seals for spirits 101
Step one gather your materials.
Paper of appropriate color ( entirely your discretion)
Pens and markers ( I prefer liquid chalk pens)
A standard size CD
A standard size coffee mug ( mine actually has coffee in it now )
Scissors
Step four
Using a picture of your original seal (on your phone or computer) add the border letters of your spirits name. To do this easier start at top of of the circle and rotate the seal clockwise as you inscribe the letters to make sure they line up properly and don’t look cattywampus.
Step five
The seals most prominent feature. Use the lettering around the circle for reference points and inscribe the most dominant central feature of the seal. This will provide you another set of reference points to finish the seal.
Hahahaha no I’m staying on balg. I’m not that awesome bro lol. I’m not an occult influencer or great messiah of any kind. I’m sharing some techniques I use in my practice with our community in the hopes that others find it useful or find inspiration to develop thier own better methods as it were.
This is a tutorial because you said so.
The Unofficial Tutorial Directory doesn’t have special functionality - it’s just a thread to which we collectively post links to tutorials we like.
This thread was originally a post on another thread. @anon25000386 was asking Lady Eva to move to its own thread I believe, but that is also helpful, @anon25000386 you should post the links to your two tutorials in that thread.
Cool man. I’ve actually got blue sharpie marks around half my dishware from making Loa veves and pentacles.
I like to use my big plates for an outer circle, and my smaller ones for the inner circle with pentacles, and the big one alone for the veves. The size is perfect for 12”x12” poster board, which I have a stack of.
I actually made these seals this size because I made a triangle of art that fits them perfectly.
This whole method wasn’t my creation either. @Dragon_Empress20 taught me how to do it right. Before my seals were sloppy and looked like amateur garbage.
Also of note it helped me connect with the spirit taking such care in preparation of the seal.
Using good paper and inks hav given me 72 fine seals that I can work with for years to come also.
