It may be tempting to drop what you're doing and run towards the sunlight you've been searching for when you see it in the distance, but the clouds are still moving. You'll miss the clouds parting where you currently are if you don't stay in place and keep tending to your work there. If you chase that perceived light, the sun will have moved or the clouds will have moved and blocked it out again. You'll wish you had just finished what you were doing to completion to catch the sun at it's brightest above you instead of chasing what you thought was an easy way out. The sun wasn't as bright over there, anyway. Stay the course and know that victory and sunlight await you. Trust that the clouds will part exactly where you're at doing exactly what you need to be doing.

Blessed Be Seekers of the Arcane

So, this month is all about Sigil Magic on my Patreon Coven of Venus and so I've decided to share three of my favorite sigils, that I use pretty regularly in my magical practices.

Now most of these sigils are drawn from hand and uploaded to my computer so I can post them here for you to see so please be gentle. I'm not a word class artist, yet.

Feel free to use these sigils, however you would like but I do ask that if you are going to re-produce them that you give me credit for creation of the Super Solider Jupiterian Bind Rune, anywhere that you post it and that you do not re-produce it for anything other than your own private personal usage.

Let's get started with the first sigil - one the first I ever created in my practice. An oldie but a goodie!

This a pretty simple a attraction sigil, that I made as a baby witch, that is designed to draw, bring, lure and magnetically pull energy towards you. I can't really take credit for a spiral for some errors, so go wild with this one! I typically use it for candle magic or to enchant beauty items, depending on the ritual. The cool thing about this sigil though is that it's pretty multi-purpose because you can add additional elements to it depending on your needs like in the example below.

With this example of the attraction sigil, I've edited it's design to pull in and attract communication between two people using the elemental sigils of air (for quick communication) in the center and fire (to promote motivation, drive, forward speed and movement). Adding an additional petition in the spiral using the target's name etc for a hypothetical situation, where two or one person is not communicating with the other. As I mentioned before this sigil is multipurpose and you can dream up a multitude of different uses for it, depending on the situation.

The next sigil is probably one of my favorite creations because it is a combination of several sigils into one, the Seal of Jupiter and several Celtic runes including Inguz, Raidho, Sowilo, Wunjo, Fehu and Pertho creating a kind of Super Soldier BindRune/Jupiterian Sigil Stave to take you on a harmonious ride, that seeds the expansion of your good luck, fortune, success, victory, financial prosperity and chance in risks or gambling - especially when working with super dangerous situations. It's also really helpful at keeping the peace when working with testy or pesky people at work. This seal came about because I used to have really high paying job, that involved me working around extremely dangerous machinery and maneuvering in and out of tight spaces daily, where one wrong move could get me or someone killed. It brought me a lot of luck, success, peace of mind and even a promotion at this job. It also could be used to bring you extreme luck or fortune in money magic rituals or maybe even at the slots, since it elevates your luck taking risks to the extreme, I haven't tested it out yet there - so if one of you decides to test it out in the casino, give me a report!

Again please be kind - this was scrawled in pen and uploaded to my computer, so it's not super perfect.

Last but certainly not the least, is a simple Come to Me sigil that goes a long way. If you notice it also contains some Jupiterian Elements, the seal of jupiter is mighty helpful! I can't take credit for this sigil - I've had it for a while in my phone and believe I screenshotted it from Blood Moon Bruja. But don't quote me on that, if you happen to know who the author of the sigil is - please let me know, I'm happy to credit them here in this post for their work. I just simply thought it was ingenious. Use this one at your own risk, it's pretty decent in lust and love spells.

Anyway I hope y'all have enjoyed this post!

I certainly enjoyed typing it up for you this morning and I hope those of you in our Coven have enjoyed this month's content from our series on Sigil Magic here on Tumblr and on Patreon.

If you've made it this far and you're really into the occult or the arcane,

Blessings of Sowilo and the Six of Cups

Beneath the milk-blue vault of memory, where the soul drinks from forgotten wells, Sowilo descends— a golden serpent of solar fire coiling through the chambers of the blood.

And the Six of Cups, keeper of ancestral waters, lifts a chalice of moon-fed remembrance from gardens that existed before language.

There the child-self waits beneath the world-tree’s breathing roots, offering white flowers to the invisible dead and honey to the wandering spirits of dawn.

When Sun marries Memory, the hidden gate within the heart unseals. Old grief becomes amber light. Lost innocence becomes sacred wisdom. The past ceases to be a grave and becomes instead a lantern.

Walk then between river and flame— between the bright antler of heaven and the silver cup of return. For the blessing of their union is this:

to remember yourself not as broken ash, but as a radiant being briefly dreaming in mortal clay while the eternal sun sings your true name through the bones of the world.

Got back into my Harry Potter grind (read the books and started on the movies tonight), was looking at his scar and thought; "Huh... that looks familiar- I know it's supposed to be a lightning bolt but it looks like something I know."

Continued watching the movies as normal when I remembered "OH ITS A NORSE RUNE!" Don't ask how I know that it's a longer story. After a biiit of research I (re-)found out that it was the Sig-Rune, or Siegrune, or Sowilo. The meaning is "Sun", but in german it (Sig) means "Victory".

Along with this meaning, it has ties to the Nazi regime. Guido von List- who was not a Nazi, but heavily influenced the Nazi ideology by developing esoteric and racialist thought- renamed the rune to Sig in his list of "Armanen runes." The Siegrune became a prominent symbol during the Nazi era, specifically in the form of the Schutzstaffel- which was two Sig runes together translating to "Victory! Victory!"

So, not only was the symbol scarred on Harry's forehead a sign of HIS victory, but also a way to remind the people around him who did it. The Death Eaters are widely considered to be an allegory for the Nazis. This was Voldemorts way of saying "We will win, we will prevail, we will have victory."

In the books Voldemort is killed by his own rebounded Killing Curse hits him. It shows that the symbol of fear (Harry's scar) was exactly what killed him. He imprinted that rune onto Harry's head- he literally gave him a rune that would indicate his victory.

From the moment when Voldemort dies the symbol turned from one of fear, to one of triumph. It is a sign of the sun rising on the new era of wizardry. And a taunt, Voldemort was never going to win. A symbol of fear that scar would no longer be. It would be a reminder of their Victory.
