I love the way it looks, and my sigils just feel more potent.

I use a gold marker for drawing sigils and black paper. But they don’t have to be! I’ve said it before, but the more effort you put into something, the better your results and that goes for sigils as well. Traditionally, sigils are drawn on regular paper using regular pens or pencils. Instead of hoping my sigils work, I know they do. What this did was clear my mind of any doubt for future sigils, and it made all the difference. It was without a doubt my most elaborate sigil to date and huge (I needed a fireplace to safely burn it). Before you make any more sigils, make one sigil with this line of intention: “my sigils are powerful and they always work.” I made this sigil a few months ago then built an entire ritual around its activation (which I discuss more below). I’m not sure why it took me so long to think of this, but once I did it seemed really obvious. Any way that helps bring this sigil to life is good, and seeing the sigil already working in your head, how it’s working, the benefits, etc, brings it to life. Instead of just repeating your line of intent, you see it. It transforms words on a page into a future reality. This is one of the best ways to master intention. Putting in this extra effort sharpens your intention like a blade. What happens if you get what you want? Who does it affect? Will it really change your life for the better? Is there perhaps another course you haven’t thought of yet that would be more productive? What serves you best in the long run? I know it seems like I’m taking some of the joy out of making sigils, but you want them to work. How many times have I made a furious, jagged sigil in the heat of the moment, or a quick, half-hearted sigil in desperate times… only to have none of them work? Knowing what you really want takes some time and thought.

This seems easy, but it’s one of the main reasons spells and sigils fail. A much more effective sentence is “By the end of the week I sell enough merch on Ebay to pay for my $300 vet bills.” Clear, simple paths to success.

Too much or too little information doesn’t help you, and gives you nothing concrete to focus on later during the creation and activation processes. “I win the lottery OR I get a promotion at work OR I find a drug dealer’s discarded bag of cash on the side of the road.” Not really, but you get the point. When that didn’t work, I’d try and jam a lot of intention into the sentence instead. I thought, well, the universe will decide the best way to make this happen. By making my intention a little nebulous, I thought I had a better chance of something happening at least, and that would be better than nothing. When I first started making sigils, I thought it would be best to be broader in the intention. Answer these questions before writing your sentence of intent to get as specific as possible. When do you win the lottery? How much do you win? Why do you need the money? Who, what, where, when, why, how. Get specific. “I win the lottery” may seem like a clear line of intention, but it’s actually missing a lot of information. The more clear your intention, the better your sigil.

So, before beginning any sigils, here’s a crash course on how to get really good at knowing what you want. For witches just starting out, this is a great way to practice intention - which is so important for other spells and aspects of witchcraft. Mastering intention: Sigils rely on a sentence of intention as the backbone of their magic.
