Sigils incorporated with other influences can add great direction and focus to spellwork. Sigils can be traced in air, carved on candles, drawn on paper and burned etc. Sigils can be drawn and formed using the magick squares that have been described above. We'll continue with the Saturn example started above. Saturn is the planet that rules institutions such as banks, real estate transactions, investments, educational institutions etc.
Lets say our intent was for successful investing.
We want a sigil to represent ourselves at being successful in our investment endeavors. So we pick the word investor which will be our sigil, the visualization of self as a smart investor, surrounded by favorable aspects and clear choices to make our money grow. Using the Western system of numerology, each letter has a numerical equivilant that is detailed in the chart below. We take our key word of investor and map it to the chart shown above. Then by starting with our first corresponding number and continuing through each in order, we draw out our sigil.
