#anon sigil request

I've been having trouble sleeping recently (die to nightmares) and I was wondering if I could request a sigil for blessed sleep?

Pleasant dreams.

Sigil for Blessed Sleep

I didn't expect you to respond to my request so quickly, but thank you. Do you have any tips for what to use for putting a sigil on your body?

Of course, anon. I'm always happy to be of service and I'm a bit of a night owl on Tumblr. I actually use this sigil myself, and I do not mind sharing it.

As for putting a sigil on your body, you have a few options. A ballpoint pen will work in a pinch if it's all you have, but I would recommend using either henna or body paint.

If you want a sigil that is long lasting, I would go with Henna. Henna takes longer to dry, but it will also last much longer then body paint especially when confronted with water (remember to take the henna off by hand and not to wash it off - to help the tattoo last- and don't get the area wet for at least a day if you can avoid it).

But if that's a little too long term and/or you don't have easy access to Henna, body paint is a good choice. I use water-based body paint (the same stuff cosplayers use) because it won't smear when dry, but it is also easy to wash off. If you want it to last a little longer/be water-resistant, you can use alcohol instead of water when you mix the paint. If you do use alcohol, then the color will only come off with an alcohol-based makeup remover.

Don't forget to charge the sigil, even (especially) one that is on your body.

Hope this helps!
