Sigil Magic: Complete Guide to Creating & Charging Magical Symbols
By Nicole, Founder of Mystic Ryst
Sigil magic is the practice of creating personalized magical symbols that encode your intentions and desires. A sigil is a symbol you design yourself that represents a specific goal or intention—when charged with energy and activated, it works in your subconscious to manifest your desire. Sigil magic is one of the most accessible and powerful forms of magic because it requires no special tools, just your intention and creativity.
The beauty of sigil magic is its simplicity and effectiveness. You create a unique symbol for your specific intention, charge it with energy, then release it to work in the background of your consciousness. Sigils bypass your conscious mind's doubts and work directly with your subconscious and the universe to manifest your desires.
This is your complete guide to sigil magic—what it is, how to create sigils, charging methods, and manifesting with symbols.
