Sigils Part One – For Transformation and Conjuring. Symbols tell stories; they shape our world and can refocus our intent in these challenging times. In this class, you will learn about symbols, glyphs, and sigils, which are some of the oldest ways that you can use as a guide to focus the power of your unconscious mind. Sigils offer a way to anchor the changes you wish to make and the magic you seek to create. We will create sigils to represent a specific goal, a shift in direction, or to generate guidance needed to alter your perspective for transforming your life. Material fee $3-$5.

Sigils Part Two – Integration into Your Magical Practices and Beyond. Once you understand the fundamentals of sigils & symbols, you can strengthen your magical practices by exploring how these tools can connect and overlap with ones you are currently using. In this second class, we will explore what can be achieved by adding runes, using mental sigils, & exploring the connection between sigils & the zodiac. Additionally, we will experiment with taking phrases & turning them into symbols or connecting the stones you work with symbols to deepen your sigils power. I will provide pens, paper, markers, & paint to explore adding dimensions & depth. Material fee $3-$5. Teen Friendly (12-17). Sirius Rising: 5:00-6:30 p.m. THU, July 24, Studio
