Glyphs Use

Sacred Meadow Circle Virtual Gathering Discussion Summary:

Thank you to those who were able to attend the Sacred Meadow Circle Virtual Gathering with the suggested topic of discussion about working with Glyphs.

the group discussed the topic of glyphs, runes, and sigils, explaining their differences and uses in witchcraft. Bryan defined glyphs as symbols with magickal meaning, such as moon phases or elements, etc. which can be charged with intention and some examples where shown. Bryan then discusses runes, focusing on Viking and Anglo-Saxon runes, explaining their specific meanings and how they can be combined to form bind-runes. Finally, he introduces sigils as personalized symbols created for specific intentions, mentioning that there are various methods for constructing them.  With the use of a whiteboard,

Bryan demonstrated how to create sigils, as symbols used in magical practices. He explains that sigils can be made from words or phrases by removing vowels and combining the remaining letters into a unique symbol as one form of creating them. Bryan uses "peace and quiet in my life" as an example, showing how to create a sigil using both standard and Theban alphabets. He also discussed alternative methods for creating sigils, such as using numerology, grids or circular templates. Bryan emphasized that sigils are personal and can be incorporated into spellwork, books or grimoires to empower the practitioner's magical work.   We looked at various approaches to creating and using sigils, and it was explained that sigils can be charged with intention and used in different ways, such as keeping them out of sight or consistently recharging them. A participant shared her method of brainstorming words related to the intention, creating symbols for each word, and combining them into a sigil. She shows examples of her sigils and emphasizes that they can be simple or elaborate.

The group agrees that sigils are personal and their effectiveness depends on the practitioner's associations and personal desires. They also discussed how sigils are used in everyday life, such as in tattoos and doodles, etc. Bryan stresses that there is no single correct way to practice magick, and that different perspectives can still lead to similar results.
