Symbols & Sigils – Wielder of Symbols
I enjoy making sigils, using the worksheets provided by Amy at Magical Crafting.
There are a few different ways that they can be done, but I find the easiest for me to use the witch’s grid.
First of all, you write out your intention. Then you remove all the vowels and any letters that are repeated. These are the letters you work with for your sigil.
Depending on which way you are creating it, you might note all the different lines and shapes of the letters, and combine them in a way which appeals to you to come up with a personalized sigil. I’m not very good at doing it that way.
The way I usually do it is to take my final letters and refer to a grid which designates each letter as a number. Then, using the witch’s grid, I place a dot in the area associated with the first letter/number, followed by the second etc. Then I draw a line between the dots - it can be straight, curved, whatever you want. I keep doing that until I have added all the letters, but usually draw it a few times before I am happy with the end result.
Not sure that I described it very well, but hopefully you get the idea.
