I’ve been dabbling with sigil magick for a long time.
Trying so hard not to sound cliché or anything, for me, there is no wrong or right way to go about it.
The idea is to create a symbol that resonates with you and speaks your desire. That’s why there are many methods out there. You can use the simplest or the most complicated method and still get results, so long as you feel that the sigil you’ve made is an accurate representation of what you wish to put out to the universe and what you wish to attract.
In terms of making the sigil design , I’d say that the easiest and recommended method is the witch’s wheel ,used in chaos magick sigil generating. The practitioner literally puts little to no effort in making the sigil.
Then, you can go with the “traditional” method of starting from scratch , which I personally wouldn’t recommend for beginners in sigil magick, solely because it involves visualization and imagination in combining lines and curves into a symbol. I know my first attempts in sigil magick using this method were somewhat … embarassing.
So, concluding, in terms of results and charging, all methods grant the same. Thus, you go with the one that you feel confidence in.
Some tips for you would be:
- After you’ve made a sigil concentrate and meditate on it for a little while. Do you feel its purpose? If not, no matter how much you like the design , discard it. I’ve found that sigils must radiate a strong energy of purpose in order to work (no matter if they’re charged or not).
- Always state your desires in present tense. All methods I’m currently aware of , use a sentence and create a sigil out of it. This sentence must be in present tense. For example, don’t say " I want to be rich", or else you’ll spend a lifetime wanting to be rich and not actually getting more money.
- Be very specific with what you ask. Don’t say “I am successful” in general. Instead, ask yourself. Successful in what?
- After you’re done charging your sigil store it somewhere or burn it , but forget about its existence and your magick. Eliminate all lust for results.
- I wouldn’t recommend a re-do of the ritual. For me, it messed with the first instead of strengthening the magick. Yet, again I’m speaking from my experience.
