The Art of Sigils — Turning Intention into Energy

Somewhere between creativity and magic lies the quiet world of sigils — symbols that carry a personal intention, encoded in shapes, strokes, and emotion. Sigils have been used for centuries, from ancient runes to medieval seals, and today, they have evolved into a tool for personal manifestation and energy work.

The Self-Remembering Sigil resting by candlelight — where intention begins quietly, within.

But the real power of a sigil doesn’t come from the symbol itself. It comes from you — your focus, your belief, your inner fire.

What Is a Sigil?

A sigil is a symbol created from a specific intention.

Not “I want money.”

Not “I want love.”

The Self-Remembering Sigil begins in the quiet space where intention becomes form.

But:

“I welcome financial flow that aligns with my growth.” 

“I attract relationships that honor my soul.” 

The more personal the intention, the more alive the sigil becomes.

Why Sigils Work

Sigils operate on a simple but powerful principle:

The subconscious mind speaks in symbols — not words.

The Self-Remembering Sigil expanding into the universe — the inner self returning to its original awareness.

When we compress an intention into a symbol, we bypass our logical mind (which doubts, worries, overthinks). The sigil becomes a seed, planted directly into the subconscious, where intention becomes direction — and direction becomes action.

“As Above, So Below” — The Bridge Between Inner and Outer Reality

There’s an old Hermetic saying:

As above, so below. As within, so without.

It means that your inner world and outer world are reflections of each other. The way you think, feel, and believe on the inside inevitably shapes what unfolds on the outside.

• “Above” represents the unseen — intention, imagination, spirit, consciousness.

• “Below” represents the physical — your actions, habits, environment, and life situations.

So, when you create a sigil, you are doing something subtle but powerful:

You take an internal intention and anchor it into physical form.

The sigil becomes the bridge between the invisible and the visible —between the self you feel and the life you create.

Once the sigil is activated, the intention sinks into the subconscious, and from there, your thoughts, decisions, timing, and energy shift — often quietly.

And that is how change begins. Not from forcing the world, but from realigning the self.

When the inside changes, the outside follows.

As above, so below.

As within, so without.

How to Create a Sigil (Simple Step-by-Step)

1. Write Your Intention Clearly

   Example: “I attract consistent financial abundance.”

2. Remove all repeating letters & vowels

   Example: I A T T R A C T C O N S I S T E N T F I N A N C I A L A B U N D A N C E

   
   

   → Remove vowels

   → Remove duplicates

   
   

   Remaining letters might look like: T R C N S F B D

3. Turn these letters into a Symbol

   • Overlap shapes

   • Curve or stylize lines

   • Let intuition guide the form

4. Refine it until it feels like the intention is inside it.

5. Activate the Sigil

   The activation is personal — choose the one that resonates:

   • Breathwork — inhale energy, exhale into the sigil

   • Meditation — gaze softly, allow the meaning to dissolve into feeling

   • Fire — burn the paper to release the intention to the universe.

The Self-Remembering Sigil releasing into the cosmos — the inner self returning to its original awareness.

Where to Place Your Sigil

• Journal pages

• Wallet

• Phone wallpaper

• Under pillow

• On your water bottle

• In your meditation space

Wherever it lives, your sigil acts as a quiet reminder of your chosen direction.

A Gentle Warning

A sigil is not a shortcut — it amplifies what is already true in you. If your intention is weak, scattered, or shallow, the energy will be the same.

Take time. Feel. Mean it.

Final Thought

A sigil is a conversation between your conscious intention and your subconscious wisdom.

Once the sigil is activated, release it. You do not chase what is already coming.
