👏👏👏👏 Love this!!!! So glad you found success with these techniques!

you are not exaggerating at all! i've had total twilight-zone freaky success -and experiences- using these techniques, especially when combined with servitors.

That makes me so happy. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much!! (And so sorry for the delayed response. I try my best to keep up with comments but sometimes it's difficult.) I appreciate your kindness! 🙏

Agreed

Are they from animes by chance? Since discovering sigils I'll see random people and be like nice tattoo what's it mean, hoping it's magickal but it's usually from an anime 😂

Ahh, thank you so much!!! That really means a lot to me! 🤗🙏

Ahh, thank you so much Amy!! 🤗❤️

Thank you so much!! 🤗🙏

No problem at all! Happy to share knowledge 🤗🖤 I'm glad they resonated with you!!!

I was wondering about this too.

Me too. I was hoping there was an answer 😕

The first method is so easy and fun! I'm glad you were able to find one that resonated with you. 🤗

Absolutely!! ☺️🙏

Thank you. That means a lot to me! 🙏

It's amazing Ivy has only been doing this for a year.

Planetary cameas like these go back a good ways in history, but we only discovered Neptune in 1846 and Pluto in 1930. **edit: Sorry you said Uranus, not Neptune. Uranus was discovered in 1781, so still fairly modern.**

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you so much!! 🤗🖤

Thank you so much, Suzanne! I actually had no idea the Witch's Wheel was from Golden Dawn 😆 but it definitely makes sense! I've seen it everywhere and I can't remember where I first learned it. I love that you mentioned channeling the sigil from the celestial realm. That's powerful stuff!

@@IvyTheOccultist @The Occultist I can't remember where I first came across the Golden Dawn's sigil creator. I just remembered that they took the rose from the rose cross and divided the rose in a similar fashion as the sigil wheel. I believe they used the Hebrew alfabet or the Enochian alfabet on the rose. It's been a while since I looked up the information.

@@suzannetol well it sounds right to me! 😂😂 It's been a long time since I studied the Golden Dawn... I'd have to refresh my memory!

@@IvyTheOccultist the golden dawn took the rosicrucian rose & cross, modified it a bit. there are a few variations on it's sigil layout.

@@feralfoods ahh, thank you!! That definitely makes sense!

Thank you!! 🤗

Haha yes! Exactly!! 👏❤️

I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Thank you! 😊❤️

Thank you!!! 🥰🖤

Did you ever get an answer for this? I was wondering too.

So the "sounding consonants" are said to be the most important part of the word because it's what gives the word it's sound. If you take a word and cancel out the vowels, it still kind of sounds like the original word. The vowels are just fillers. And really all you're doing here is trying to shorten the word to have less letters to work with. When you're using grids, you really want the least amount of letters possible so the sigil comes out clean. It really doesn't matter what letters you cancel out, it just needs to be short and sweet when using grids 😊

Thank you so much!! 🤗

You can set it up to charge however you want! There's a video I did titled "7 Energy Sources" for spellwork and towards the end, I talked about how to tether your spellwork to external energy sources if you wanted to watch that for more detail. But for protection specifically, I like to use the earth element. I use the tendril technique to tether my home protection wards to the earth so that there is a constant supply of steady energy. (I think I talked about tethering to the earth in that video too if you need further clarification.) But yeah, you could also write it into your intention statement! "This sigil is powered by... (Insert energy source.) This is a great example of why I love creating mega sigils which are basically multiple small sigils rolled into one big one. You can have one sigil dedicated to your purpose (home protection) and one Sigil dedicated to how this will maintain power ("this sigil is powered by...") And then you combine those two sigils together to create a mega Sigil. Hope that helps!

@@IvyTheOccultist thank you so much your instrumental in my progression at the minute, I've come a long way just this year since finding your videos and you don't have to reply yet you do, thank you so much 🤗🤗

Oh thank you, that is so kind! I got some of the images from Etsy. If you type in "sigil grimoire page" there's quite a few that come up. The planetary squares I just got from Google images for free!

Great! Thank you so much! 😊

Same! 🙌 And thank you!!

☺️🙏

You would always use the individual numbers, so you would use "4" instead of "48" in this case! Since our English alphabet only goes up to 26, the higher numbers will never be used. 🖤

Oh okay!

Present tense for sure! "Justice is being served." Many practitioners say that if you use past tense, the universe automatically assumes the job has been completed already and no additional action will be taken.

@@IvyTheOccultist thank you so much! You're the best 😘

@@rachelle1 no problem at all! ❤️❤️

open eyed meditation! you 'scry' into the sigil. so keep your eyes open, maybe be in a dimly lit room, and keep gaze at it until sleepy/in trance. hope this helps!

This is definitely going to depend on the practitioner because the answer will change depending on who you talk to! Personally, I LOVE using my intense emotions to fuel a spell. However, it's much harder to get the spell to turn out the way you want when your emotions are all over the place. If you're willing to take the risk, go for it! Allow those feelings to charge up your intention. But if you're anxious and worried it might not work, then I'd advise you to wait. You don't want anxiety creeping into the spell. ❤️

@@IvyTheOccultist Thank you so so much dear Ivy❤️

Found the answer in other answers. You're getting rid of the non-sounding letters, so presumably I would still be included, as it's what makes sound for that word.

🤗🙏

Thank you, I'm so glad this video resonated with you!! So, as far as my understanding goes, "micro-sigils" refer to sigils that are created for anything within the microcosm: our day to day tasks, and things on a smaller scale that you would like to achieve. Macro-sigils are sigils that are created for anything in the macrocosm: large-scale things, invoking magical or celestial entities, big life changes, etc. I hope that makes sense! I'm sure the definition varies from culture to culture but that's the only context I've ever heard of micro-sigils versus macro-sigils. I'm curious though, if you find any other information on this, do let me know!!

@@IvyTheOccultist Ugh, I love that explanation so much!!! Finally makes sense to me. Thank you for this. 😁🙏 I look forward to watching more of your content! ✨

@@carnivorousgoddess5414 yay, glad I could help somehow! Thank you! 🥰🙏

Yes, you can! I like to make the sigil out of the servitor's name, then proceed to charge/activate as normal.

I love Benebell Wen!! I have not read that book but now I'll have to add it to my list! Sounds fascinating 🖤

Oh! Let me see if I can get you a link! I have made my own Witch's Wheel before, but this one specifically for the video I got from Etsy! Here's the link to the seller's grimoire pages: www.etsy.com/listing/925361457/sigils-guide-pack-sigils-worksheets?ref=yr_purchases As far as the planetary grids go, mine is a print out from a book. However, you can literally just Google "planetary magick squares" and they will come right up! I've printed them off from Google images when I need them in a pinch. Hope that helps!

@@IvyTheOccultist that's amazing thank you!

Yes

I love questions!! 😆 So, you don't always have to remove the vowels if you don't want to. But removing the vowels is a way of shortening the word so that the sigil looks better and isn't so long. The vowels aren't really necessary because it's the "sounding consonants" that make a word what it is. For example, if you take a word and remove the vowels, you can see that the word still kind of sounds like the original word it was. The "sounding" consonants are what's most important, so we can get rid of the vowels to shorten the word. Sigils look much cleaner when they are shorter! As far as vowels still being present in the chart that converts letters to numbers, you still want to represent the entire alphabet. Some people don't cross out vowels, and some people do! But regardless, it's good to have all the letters of the alphabet represented on the conversion chart. I hope that makes sense! You definitely don't have to cross anything out if you don't want to! ☺️🖤

Perfect. Thank you!

So there are some very controversial points here and I'm sure many magicians could argue over what is proper sigil etiquette and what is not. Short answer: the sigil must be lodged into your subconscious mind in order for it to theoretically work. So each person that wears the sigil would need to go through a charging/activation process in order for the sigil to work for them. Sigils work because you subconsciously manifest them throughout your day when you aren't consciously thinking about it. So if you have not lodged that sigil into your subconscious mind (as in, someone else made it for you) then it most likely won't work. If you're looking to protect your loved ones without them having to do anything, I suggest looking into poppet magick instead. (I also have a video on that.) With sigils, people can use the same sigils if they want to, as long as they are still charging/activating the sigils themselves. Also, you do not need to possess the physical item, as long as you are going through the proper charging/activating techniques with the symbol itself. Hope that helps!

@@IvyTheOccultistso a sigil is just a piece of art unless that person goes through the process of activating it…and sigils can’t be used to protect others.

@@agentjay4494 correct! The only way that it could be used to protect others is if you are the one that is subconsciously protecting them. Otherwise, the sigil won't do much for a person who hasn't charged/activated it

Lol!!! I am definitely guilty of this as well 😂 Sometimes you just want a really aesthetically pleasing sigil. You do you!! 🖤

My wife was like: you have to draw that every time you want to use it? *skeptical look* I laughed and told her no, I built a more simple sigil using the same number code that I call my minor sigil. When I draw that it represents the Major Sigil at My altar. I'm not a machinists!

Haha sounds like you have an awesome system though if you're using number codes and minor/major sigils! I am always a proponent of "do what works!" 😆

Thanks, only been at it a few months, but Sigil work has really called to me.

Neptune, Uranus and Pluto all do not have planetary grids. These planetary grids are suuuuper old. They were created before Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were discovered. Typically, traditional planetary magick is only practiced with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. ☺️🖤

@@IvyTheOccultist oh wow!! That is old!!

@@KelliePixieAshton right?? It's an ancient practice, for sure! ❤️

I have no idea 😂 that would be a question for the polymaths that constructed these! There might be something in the Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Agrippa but one would have to dig to find the answer 😆

@@IvyTheOccultist so I Google images and found a place for the 4 😂

LOL interesting!! I'll have to look at my charts again and see if there's a 4 😂
