			'''Sigil magic''' is a form of ceremonial or non ceremonial magic that uses [[Symbols\|symbols]] as means of manifesting a desired outcome. A sigil is a symbol that is created to represent a specific magical concept, affirmation, intent or desire. The practice involves designing, charging, and then using or "casting" the sigil to bring about a change in reality. Unlike other forms of magic that might rely on elaborate rituals, sigil magic is often noted for its direct and streamlined approach and flexibility.

			==Historical Roots and Modern Practice==
			The use of symbols in magic and spirituality is ancient, but the term "sigil" as a magical practice gained prominence in the early 20th century.

			'''Early History:''' Historically, sigils were often referred to as a type of magical symbol or character used in medieval [[grimoire]]s. These were typically complex symbols believed to represent angels, demons, or other spirits and were used to invoke or command them. The word ''sigil'' derives from the Latin ''sigillum'', meaning "seal".

			'''Modern Development:''' The modern, streamlined method of sigil magic was developed by the English artist and occultist [[Austin Osman Spare]] (1886–1956). He simplified the process of creating sigils, freeing the practice from its more complex, historical associations. Spare's method, which is the basis for most contemporary sigil magic, emphasizes the subconscious mind as the key to manifesting magical intent.

			==Creating a Sigil==
			The process of creating a sigil can be highly personal and can vary, but the most common method follows a clear sequence of steps.

			===Formulating the Intent===
			The first step is to state your magical intent as a clear, concise, and positive affirmation. The intent should be a single, focused phrase.

			Example: Instead of "I wish I had more money," a better intent would be "I attract wealth easily" or "My business flourishes" but we suggest using affirmations representative to intentions or desires because of the power and signature energy they generate.

			===Condensing the Phrase===
			The letters of the intent phrase are then condensed into a unique symbol. A popular method is to remove all repeated letters from the phrase and then arrange the remaining letters into an artistic glyph.

			'''Example:'''<br>
			For the phrase <code>I AM WELL</code>, you remove repeated letters to get <code>I A M W E L</code>.
			These letters are then combined to form a single symbol.

			===Aesthetic Variation===
			Another method, popularized by artist [[Grant Morrison]], involves drawing a symbol from a list of words that are related to the intent, and then transforming the drawing into a symbol.

			==Charging and Releasing the Sigil==
			Once a sigil is created, it is considered a dormant symbol until it is "charged" with magical energy. The goal of charging is to impress the sigil's intent upon the subconscious mind, bypassing the rational, conscious mind, which is seen as a barrier to magical work. The most common charging methods include:

			* '''Gnosis''' - This involves entering a state of altered consciousness, often through meditation, chanting, or focused excitement, and intensely focusing on the sigil. This state allows the sigil to be imprinted directly onto the subconscious.
			* '''Ritual and Trance''' - Some practitioners use more elaborate rituals, such as dancing, drumming, or fasting, to achieve a trance-like state during which the sigil is activated.
			* '''Stress and Pain''' - In some cases, methods that induce physical or emotional stress are used to trigger a state of gnosis.

			Once the sigil is charged, the final and most crucial step is to "release" it. This involves a deliberate act of forgetting the sigil and its original intent. The sigil is often destroyed (burned, buried, or washed away) to symbolize its release from the conscious mind. The intent is then believed to be active in the subconscious, working to manifest in reality.

			==Sigils in Pop Culture==
			Sigil magic has been a major influence in modern fantasy and occult fiction. The concept of creating and using personal symbols for magical purposes has become a common trope in role-playing games, literature, and films.
