![]() My reduced shapes from the beginning letterforms of WKNTMįrom those lines, you begin your sketches. And lastly, the horizontal line of the T. The left and right angles from the M, W, V, K, and N. For this particular sigil we have the vertical line from the M, T, K, and N. Taking the remaining letters WKNTM, having eliminated duplications and vowels, I break them down into their most basic shapes from which to build the design. Reducing the phrase into its base components This left me with: WKNTM – which is my starting point for the next part of the process. Removing all vowels as they are magically unnecessary, and removing duplicate letters. The next step of the process is to take our, we take our word/phrase/etc and begin breaking it down. It is also generally advisable to avoid the word ‘will,’ as it moves the intention and timeline of your magic into the future rather than keeping it in the now.īe certain to have very clear intentions the phrase I’ve begun with here works well because it covers lots of basics and is very to the point. For example, “I will not miss the bus” becomes drastically different with the elimination of the word ‘not,’ changing the meaning of my symbol to very much the opposite of what I intended. The idea is that magically, such words are ignored. I would like to note that I have avoided using negatives in this sentence (Can’t, Won’t, Shouldn’t, and so on). Work with your hands, write it down, draw it out. I began with a very simple phrase: “I wake on time.” What’s important here is that you really think about your intent and work with it in a physical and tactile way. It came to be a message of growing even when attacked, which can be about so much more than physical health, and a message about magical or even mental immunity. In the end, my absolute favorite wound up being “Immune” – it was one of the ones where I really let loose and let spirit take the lead. That’s funny because my least favorite was distort and I was so surprised by how many commented on it, while transmute was one of my favorites. Why? It seems like it would be really hard to draw on a candle. Top five are definitely Distort, Home, Sovereign, Eliminate, Locate is definitely my top. So, now that this is all said and done, what were your top five sigils from this project, and which would you say was your least favorite – and why? I don’t know about that! I imagine I was the one in the box, and you opened the lid up a bit. I loved the fact that you made me think outside my personal box as far as working with sigils. That’s pretty interesting since for me I tend to work with a more process oriented structure such as the magic square or witches wheel methods. ![]() Focusing on the intent of the sigil, or in this case, the word, I begin to form an image in my mind and draw from that. That Kentucky Witch: For me it’s about spontaneity. ![]() Mortellus: So what would you say was the most enjoyable part of this project? ![]()
