How to create a Sigil


1. Find your goal

Why are you making your sigil? What’s your intent? What it’s purpose? The first step to making a sigil is being sure why you’re creating it. Example: “I want a sigil that makes me confident and charismatic”
2. Write it down
When you’re sure of the intent of the sigil, write it down into a sentence. Try to be precise and direct, and avoid unnecessary words. Make sure that you write it in presence tense. Don’t write “I want to be confident and charismatic”, because then then sigil will help you want to be confident. Write “I am confident and charismatic”
3. Remove letters
Start removing all the vowels:
I AM CONFIDENT AND CHARISMATIC”
“MCNFDTNDCHRSMTC”
Then remove repeated letters:
“MCNFDTNDCHRSMTC
“MCNFDTHRS”
4. Optional: Translate letters into another alphabet
This is not necessary at all, but if you want to, you can translate the letters into, for example, runes. I used the runes alphabet in my sigil.
5. Combine your letters into a symbol
This is the fun part! Rearrange your letters until they form a symbol that you like. I personally think the sigils work better if you conceal the letters in each other as much as possible, so it’s hard to see them. This is how mine turned out:

How you decide to draw your sigil is up to you, the important thing is that you see power in it, and that you like it.
6. Charge it
There are many ways to charge a sigil. I prefer to burn it, but you can see a list of ways to do it here. The important part is to focus your on your intent when you charge it. Channel it into the sigil.
So that’s how you make a sigil! There are different ways to do it, so I always suggest reading up on several ways to do it.
