On Sigils

I haven't done one in a while, not since I gave up most forms of magic last January. But I think people are getting really creative with them, and it's pretty neat. That being said, some of them are terribly difficult to copy and frequently reuse (no matter how beautiful they are).

So! I thought I'd share something I cooked up a while ago; I call it Pentagram Shorthand. There's a more advanced version called Enneagram Shorthand, but that's another post.

Go ahead and plot five points on a sheet of paper like points of a pentagram. Number them clockwise, starting from the top at 1.

Great! You're a third of the way there. Next is to grab your intention. You can make it as long as you need to, but ideally the more concise the better. Go ahead and do the standard things (remove the vowels, repeated instances of letters).

Here's where it gets a little different. Instead of comparing your phrase to the standard 1-9 alphabet map, use this one:

1: B H N T 2: C J P V 3: D K Q W 4: F L R X 5: G M S Z

Convert your letter sequence to numbers, then remove repeated instances of numbers. What you should be left with is a simple sequence of unique numbers.

Plotting them on those dots you made earlier will create a "shorthand sigil" that you can keep in pocket notebooks, use as somatic components of spells, or even combine to make supersigils.

Let's look at a photo example. Here, I've created two Shorthand Sigils: Courage of Heart and Strength of Mind. I've overlaid them together at the bottom to show an example of a supersigil, too:

Maybe soon I'll make a second post detailing the Enneagram; it's the same basic format only with nine points. Those are primarily for written sigils or more traditional magick, while Pentagram Shorthand is primarily for carved sigils or "on the go" magick.

If you give the shorthand a try, please let me know how you like it! Blessed be~

Grant Morrison is a chaos magician, I read his Invisibles series, mostly because he described it as a supersigil.

I’m not sure I understood, but I was entertained regardless.

It was also very nineties and full of queer characters. And near the end, briefly, there featured a nonbinary bald-headed character.

Starting a HyperSigil

In the style of Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles, I’m starting a hypersigil. As he created his King Mob character, I’m creating Amethyst. She will be my proxy inside this hypersigil. 

Grant Morrison on what a hypersigil is: “The "hypersigil" or "supersigil" develops the sigil concept beyond the static image and incorporates elements such as characterization, drama and plot. The hypersigil is a sigil extended through the fourth dimension. ... The hypersigil is an immensely powerful and sometimes dangerous method for actually altering reality in accordance with intent. Results can be remarkable and shocking.“

So, I’ve begun this endeavor using a sketchbook I’d originally intended to use while traveling in Scotland. It’s this inexpensive one that’s a very portable size. 

Here’s the cover. As the centerpiece, I used an old sketch that I really love from a previous project. I layered it over a scrap of watercolor paper I had laying around. Being an artist has its perks sometimes. I created a sigil for Amethyst that you can see below the “title.” I intend to treat this like a journal/scrapbook mashup (I wanted to be able to include artwork & ephemera). 

Before I had this book, I tried writing out a scenario as an experiment. It worked immediately, thus I’m beginning this journey.

The “hypersigil” or “supersigil” develops the sigil concept beyond the static image and incorporates elements such as characterization, drama, and plot. The hypersigil is a sigil extended through the fourth dimension. My own comic book series The Invisibles was a six-year long sigil in the form of an occult adventure story which consumed and recreated my life during the period of its composition and execution. The hypersigil is an immensely powerful and sometimes dangerous method for actually altering reality in accordance with intent. Results can be remarkable and shocking.    Experiment:    After becoming familiar with the traditional sigil method, see if you can create your own hypersigil. The hypersigil can take the form of a poem, a story, a song, a dance, or any other extended artistic activity you wish to try. This is a newly developed technology so the parameters remain to be explored. It is important to become utterly absorbed in the hypersigil as it unfolds; this requires a high degree of absorption and concentration (which can lead to obsession but so what? You can always banish at the end) like most works of art. The hypersigil is a dynamic miniature model of the magician’s universe, a hologram, microcosm, or “voodoo doll” which can be manipulated in real time to produce changes in the macrocosmic environment of “real” life.

HOW TO WRITE A HYPERSIGIL AKA SUPERSIGIL In this video I talk about the HyperSigil and how you too can begin to use the same principles to begin manipulating your own reality. Since Grant Morrison spoke about the concept of the Hypersigil at DisinfoCon 2000 in New York in a talk that it said to have launched a thousand sigils, more and more people have been curious as to they too create their own Hypersigil to begin manipulating reality to create the life they desire. The HyperSigil is a dynamic miniature model of the magician's universe, a hologram, microcosm or "voodoo doll" which can be manipulated in real time to produce changes in the macrocosmic environment of "real" life.
