To cross the barriers of time and space, to bridge the realms, sigils are often used. As we take our next step into the world of magic, the satyrs have stepped forwards to play with us today!
Satyrs originate within human history, way back in Ancient Greece. Accompanying gods, such as Athena and most often Dionysus. These pesky beings are known for their mischievous and playful behavior.
Part man and part goat, the satyrs are creatures of the wild. Lovers of music, uninhibited freedom, and festivities they teach us to derive pleasure from life. To celebrate. To sing and dance.
As a result, they have been most commonly depicted with panpipe, flute, or harp in hand. Almost always at the side of Dionysus; a god all about wine, pleasure, and debauchery.
Their Message:
The satyrs are here to shake us out of our commonplace. Life is about pleasure, desire, and breaking past outdated social norms. One of these outdated messages pertains to hardship and seriousness.
We are taught by society that life is hard. In response, we are trained in school and even at home to adopt a seriousness to life. Pass or fail. Blame and retribution. All forms to hold the world together. Which in ancient times had reason. Humans were still hunter/gatherers who were seeking the ability to survive.
But what about now?
They satyrs have returned to us to re-insert joy into our daily lives. When was the last time you danced? How about the last time you felt you could manifest something smoothly, free of stress, fear, or constant worry? How about ecstatic liberation instead?
Sigils:
A sigil is a form of magic – sigil magic. Utilizing a symbol you create with intention in order to change your reality in accordance with your will.
In the past, sigils were used to symbolize and conjure spirits. But over time, they have been used as a way to symbolize a representation of what you are working to manifest.
The satyrs have come to get us to lighten-up, have fun, open up to pleasure, and walk away from social norms. But they also are acknowledging that there are things in life we want, need, and are responsible for.
If you look to the Ancient Greek history, you will discover that Dionysus and his harem (satyrs included) were almost always at play or in celebration. Their cavalier attitude can at times seem reckless and irresponsible, but you will also discover that Dionysus was still a capable god.
Why must we experience stress and worry as we manifest? If we are to be children of faith, utilizing manifestation knowledge and skills – why can’t we manifest with hard work and joy?
Our souls chose to come and incarnate as human beings. We are interconnected and therefore, we are supported and capable of manifesting. Sigil magic can help us to shift our vibrations internally to help begin an external change within our lives. Whether we wish to acquire a physical thing, a relationship, a skill/behavior, or are seeking healing, sigils can be utilized.
The Steps to Sigil Magic:
The satyrs invite you to try your hand at sigil magic. Not in grave seriousness, but in great joy. Have fun and play with this magical tool, to help you transform your energy and further manifest your dreams and desires. Consider even calling a friend’s night and doing these with a group of people!
Step One: Motivation & Intention
Sigil magic enables us to bypass our consciousness and talk directly to our subconscious. In doing so, we can introduce a specific vibration of energy into our system – thus becoming a magnet for similar items in the Universe to be drawn towards us or even repelled by us.
Think of sigil magic like affirmations that shift our inner world to help us manifest in the external world. Which is where we begin with sigils. We begin with a desire. Our intention needs to be: realistic, a positive affirmation, specific, but also open to Spirit’s magic and aid.
We are asking for help with something. So, think about what you are seeking to experience, have, accomplish, feel, or heal. Then create a statement reflecting this motivation.
For Example:
I have created a sigil to show you guys what is possible. I chose an intention that we can all share during our Christmas countdown – “to open up to my mythical family” Notice, this statement is clear and specific (one topic at a time), while still leaving room for the satyrs and other mythical beings to connect in their own unique way. The statement is also focused on what is wanted (the positive) rather than a fear or what isn’t wanted.
Step Two: cross out the vowels & the redundant consonants
A sigil is a symbol. To transform our intention into an abstract symbol which provides us the vibration that talks to our inner selves we must change our statement into a collection of symbols to combine. Because, letters are just symbols that we have given collective meaning to.
In this moment we can choose to craft our sigil in all seriousness or we can allow the satyrs to inspire us. To view this adventure as fun, playful, and even mischievous.
1 – remove the vowels
2 – cross out the extra consonants
3 – see what letters you’re left with
Step Three: be creative
Once we have the letters to craft our sigil, the fun truly begins. To take the symbols we have and overlay them into a brand new symbol. Consider turning letters upside down or on their sides or overlap parts that match. You can even take your completed image and turn it too.
Step Four: Activate your sigil!
A sigil holds a vibration that not only represents what you want to manifest, but introduces this vibration into your energy field. Then the Universe knows what to match in your life and your spirit guides can help you manifest. In this case, you are also helping the mythical creatures find you, like a blinking light upon a radar screen.
To help activate your sigil from a random symbol into a manifesting magical tool we must celebrate. Taking a page from the satyrs, consider how you would like to activate our collective sigil or maybe one you created yourself. A ritual is an acknowledgement of the sacred, magical, and special. But a ritual can look like anything… perhaps dancing, meditating, burning the sigil on a piece of paper, etc.
What sounds like fun to you?
Step Five: release & take action
After we have vocalized our desire, created an intention, formed a sigil, our final step is to release the consciousness of our manifestation. We don’t need to fixate, worry, or be gravely serious. Instead, sigil magic works best when we step back and allow the magic of Creation to flow in.
Our sigil brings us the gift of talking to our subconscious and notifying the world what we want. Then we can go forth choosing options, paths, and experiences that match what we want. For example, keep coming back to our Christmas countdown to meet new mythical creatures and even reconnect with familiar members of your family.
For the Satyrs:
I want to take this moment to express an quick thank you to the satyrs who brought sigils back into my life. I haven’t dealt with sigil magic for many years and their playful reminder was an unexpected message to come through in my channeling.
I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. I don’t know who will come forward or what they will have to share, so we’ll see what comes next in our magical holiday adventure!
