How to Charge Sigils

*Firstly, there’s two different schools. Destroying the*
sigil to charge and release it, and keeping the sigil intact. I’m going to note
which school each method falls into.

*Destruction: Fire Writing a sigil on anything that’s safe*
to burn, and throwing it into fire to charge it, as it’s destroyed. This
charges the sigil with the energy from the flame, and is a good method for
adding passionate, strong, intense energy. (Or any other things you associate
with fire)

*Preservation: Fire writing a sigil, carving, or engraving*
it somewhere, and placing it close to a flame where it can absorb the heat and
energy from the fire without burning up. Has the same benefits as the above
method.

*Destruction: Water Writing a sigil in something soluble,*
and then soaking it in a body of water. This charges the sigil, and more
specifically the body of water that the sigil is charged and released into.
It’s a good way to incorporate traits from the element of water, such as
creativity, strengthened psychic abilities, and the like.

*Preservation: Water Writing or carving a sigil in/on*
something that doesn’t dissolve in water, such as carving a sigil into a chunk
of wood. The sigil absorbs energy from the water while it is soaking. Again,
has the same added properties as mentioned for the destructive method with
water.

*Destruction: Earth writing your sigil on something*
natural and biodegradable, then burying it. Such as writing a sigil on an acorn
or leaf. It then absorbs energy from the earth as it slowly decomposes. A sigil
charged this way may take on the additional energy and properties associated
with the earth, such as strength, patience, and nurturing.

*Preservation: Earth Charge a sigil with a crystal grid,*
or similar set up, and keep the sigil intact afterwards. It has the same added
properties as the above mentioned method for earth.

*Preservation: Light Charge your sigil in light, be it*
daylight or moonlight. The sigil is charged by the light.

*Destruction: Light I refer to this as destruction and*
light, because it deals with visibility and invisibility. Basically, write your
sigil in something that will become invisible afterwards. Such as the fog on a
bathroom mirror, lemon juice on paper, ect… This is my favorite way for
creating/charging sigils dealing with spirits, communication, or “unseen”
traits. In this method the sigil charges every time the surface it was written
on is exposed to light.

*Preservation: Energy Work/Meditation You focus on your*
sigil, and charge it with energy. You are relying on your own energy for this,
not energy from another source to charge the sigil.

*Destruction: Energy Work/Meditation Same charging method*
as mentioned above, but you destroy the sigil in your preferred manner when
you’re done, in order to release the spell to work.

*More “touchy” methods below the break. TW for a lot of*
different reasons. Each of these methods can be preservative or destructive,
just depending on if you keep the sigil in tact afterwards.

*Blood add a few drops of blood to the sigil, and the*
blood itself charges the sigil.

*Pain Meditate on the sigil, and break your meditation,*
while looking at the sigil, by inflecting some sort of pain. Usually this can
be something like stabbing your finger with a needle, biting your lip, ect…

*Sex Focus on the sigil while engaging in either sex or*
masturbation, and the energy from the orgasm will charge the sigil.

*Intense Emotion Charge your sigil while experiencing*
intense emotion such as anger, sorrow, love, happiness, ect… If you’re an empath you can
even channel another persons emotions to do this.

*Mirror Boxes Set your sigil inside a mirror box, where*
the energy inside will continue to move, adding to the charge every time it
passes over the sigil.

*Death Charge sigils on/by graves, with grave dirt, or*
something symbolic of death.

*Birth Charge sigils with the intense pain and emotion*
related to birth, or with anything from/related to birth
