I enjoy creating sigils for two main reasons:
1. They’re inexpensive! If you’re low on funds and can’t afford more witchy ingredients, you only need a writing tool and paper. You can also write your sigils on cheap items like bay leaves or candles.
2. They feel like a fun art project! As an artsy person, I love doing my sigils very free-form; with a bit of structure and a lot of intuition & imagination.
Here’s images from my grimoire (well one of them lol) showing off my favorite method. You can also use your leftover letters and connect them using a sigil forge, like the one you see below:
I’ve also seen some people make a sigil forge using just the letters they have leftover, so if that feels right for you, go for it!
Travel from one letter to the next in whatever order feels right to you! Feel free to redraw until it just feels right for you. (BTW sorry if my drawings suck, doing this on my phone and apparently this is where my art skills end lmao)
Add random designs to season your sigil with some flair! You can get funky and silly - whatever resonates with you is typically what works best!
You can also assign each letter to a number and do the following:
I’ve never seen anyone use a heart-shaped grid like I did here, it’s usually a circle or square. However, I had the fun idea of making a heart grid specifically for a sigil to visit my spirit guide, Miss Anita, in the ~dream world~. I haven’t completed tat one yet, but just wanted to show how flexible sigil creation can be.
Happy sigil making!
