Symbols and Sigilshttps://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-symbols-sigils/19614
I read through the entries for this challenge and some of the articles that were linked.
I started by drawing my own symbol for a phoenix.
As suggested in a post for the original challenge, I went online to the sigil generator and I got this sigil. It represents the affirmation I had put into the sigil generator. Seemed a bit too much for me to recreate regularly.
Then I saw a post about using names converted to numbers. The numbers are put into a circle and then you draw the sigil. The post had a circle with numbers already assigned to a spot. But it states to put the numbers in the circle. So I created my own circle and put the numbers where I felt they should go. I used both circles to see what the difference would be. These are the symbols for phoenix that I generated. The one one the right is the one using my own placed numbers.
As some of you may know, I am getting a phoenix tattoo, hopefully on September 20. Personally, the phoenix represents a rebirth and renewal for me at this point in my life.
So, I started to think of what the phoenix represents for me even more. So I created a phrase, converted it to numbers and used the circle I numbered myself. Here is the sigil of empowerment for me and I love it! If it looks like other sigils that is coincidental. It also looks similar to doodles I have done in the past, not exactly, but there is a familiarity to it for me.
So happy we have opportunities to go back to previous challenges!
