With the occasion of my US naturalization exam and interview (I’m becoming a US citizen! ), I was in the need for a good luck sigil, so I became inspired by the seal of the federal agency sending me all the paperwork.
The letters I received all feature a seal with a bald eagles, so I did some research.
The Bald Eagle is a symbol of strength, courage, freedom and immortality. Source
I started with a circle because all the seals of the government have a circle, but also as a symbol of protection and as a safe space.
I used the rune Fehu as a starting point and because it symbolizes luck, but also strength, freedom, the qualities of the bald eagle.
I added the detail of a small ankh ☥ because of its connection to immortality, eternal life.
For the consecration part, this month I’ve been traveling, so my spells and manifestations are mostly in pen and paper. So my journal is not only a book of shadows but also a sort of travel altar.
I drew an altar and put my sigil in the center.
I used the smaller version of the lucky sigil to carry with me during the interview, and it went well!! I was approved earlier this week and I’m on my way to becoming a citizen soon!!
Do you have any experience with making runic sigils (or bind runes)?
