The process of deciding what to include in an illustration and then creating that piece with focus and intention makes the creation of art the perfect vehicle for creating super sigils.
Sigils are a popular and accessible way to create an intentionally charged symbol that can be used to facilitate change in your life. If you would like to find out more about them I recommend checking out this page on Erin Alise’s shop, she has a beautiful sigil oracle deck, and in the description she talks more about what sigils are and how they are used.
Now, a super sigil is very similar but rather than creating a symbol, more time and focus is spent in elevating it into a piece of art. My favourite method for this requires researching plants, animals, objects and symbols that match my intention, and then arranging these elements in a way that works aesthetically and to match the end goal of the super sigil.
This illustration is an example of a super sigil created with the intention of protecting the home so it utilises symbols of protection and home.
The snail shell is an easily recognised symbol of home, and here it is combined with the protective symbols of an antler, Betony, and the ogham called Fearn.
This is a very brief look into the practice of creating super sigils, but as it is something I enjoy doing and intend to create more, I thought it would be beneficial to create a space here that touches upon some basics to give these illustrations context. I hope you found it interesting and I’m excited to show you more work like this!
