start with a phrase or short sentence, stating your will or desire, or your end goal in present tense. “I am confident.” “I can afford rent this month.”
avoid negative language; for example, use “I will pass this test” instead of “I will not fail this test”
traditionally, take out vowels and repeated letters, and shape the remaining letters in an artistic way to create a symbol
you can also turn the letters into their most basic shapes
you can use cursive versions of letters, other alphabets such as the runic alphabet
you can use a sigil wheel, a letter grid, or other alphabets such as runes
you can add flourishes, little circles, extra lines and shapes
you can make a pictorial sigil if you want, manipulating symbols or other imagery (but I’d recommend skewing them to the point where you don’t actively recognize them on sight, so it can be banished easier)
you can place a boundary around your sigil (a circle, square, or triangle, for example) if you feel it will help secure the intent
activating and charging a sigil
burn it (and place in chalice or cauldron) - you can use these ashes creatively as well!
carve it into a candle and let it all melt away
draw it on a firework and set it off
bury it and let it decompose (make sure it is biodegradable!!!)
draw it in dirt somewhere it will be worn away
craft it with twigs, leaves, stems, etc, and burn it
carve it into bark or draw it on a stone (be nice to earth, I’d recommend doing this to loose bark, trees/stones you “own” like potted plants or trees in your yard, or dead trees… use good sense!)
draw it somewhere with salt
write on body in eyeliner or other makeup before bathing
carve it into a soap bar and bathe with it
draw it on something that will dissolve and dissolve it
draw on a tea bag (with something edible like honey or edible ink), steep it, and drink the tea
draw it on a balloon, blow it up, and pop it
draw it on a kite and fly it
use it while cooking - oil on a pan, stirring a spoon in a pot, adding sauce, pouring honey into tea, etc.
write it with something (a colored ink, essential oil, food dye, etc.) on an eggshell and crush it into eggshell powder (great for sigils and spells to do with rebirth/rejuvenation/fertility/the new moon, or others that include eggshells)
write it on a bay leaf or other leaf that corresponds with your intent - and then maybe wrap it up into a spell jar, keep it in your wallet, crush it into a powder for a spell, etc.
write it on a piece of paper with invisible ink or a white crayon
write it on a piece of paper and seal it with wax
paint it with glow in the dark paint
paint it on an empty canvas before painting something else on top
place it in a music box, wind it, and let the music charge it
place it under your pillow at night (great for sigils to do with dreams/sleep, or studying/recalling knowledge)
paint on nails before painting them with nail polish
place in sun or moonlight
use it as a background on phone/computer and leave it up while charging the device
focus on it while orgasming
focus on it while experience pain or another extreme emotion
add a drop of blood to the sigil
okay, so what happens next?
once you activate and charge your sigil, laying it deep down into your unconscious mind, banish it. destroy it. forget about it entirely so it can work its magic.
go do something entirely unrelated shortly afterwards, like watching a movie or cooking dinner. forget about it entirely so it can work its magic.
you may elect to display it in a place you’ll see it often, but passively - such as the side of your bathroom mirror or on your fridge. the idea is to let it trigger your unconscious mind, instead of focusing on it consciously. if you find yourself thinking about it every time you see it, consider removing it.
