Sigils are symbols created for a specific purpose, often used in magical practices or spiritual rituals. They can represent intentions, desires, or concepts, and are typically designed by combining letters, shapes, or images. The process of creating a sigil often involves focusing on a particular goal and then abstracting that goal into a unique symbol. In various cultures, sigils have been used for protection, manifestation, or communication with the divine. They can be found in alchemy, witchcraft, and occult traditions, serving as tools to channel energy or influence outcomes. Sigils can be drawn, carved, or visualized, depending on the practitioner's preference.
