Draw a Sigil

What It Is

A simple symbol you design from a written intention, condensed into a unique mark that represents your goal.

Why It Helps

Sigils bypass your conscious mind’s resistance. By distilling a desire into an abstract symbol, you create a visual shorthand that your subconscious recognizes. It’s like a logo for your intention.

What You Need

Paper, pen, and a clear intention. Optional: something to draw the final sigil on (stone, card, piece of wood).

How to Do It

Write your intention as a sentence: “I am at peace.” Cross out vowels and repeated letters: M T P C. Combine those letters into one abstract design—overlap, rotate, merge them until you have a symbol only you recognize. Draw it somewhere you’ll see it daily, or carry it with you.

This Is Not Worship

It’s applied psychology and visual anchoring. Graphic designers and artists use symbolic reduction all the time—this just happens to be personal.

Variations

Burn the sigil to “activate” it, carve it into a candle, draw it on your body with washable marker, or hide it in a journal to “charge” over time.
