Sigil Witchery: A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magick Symbols (Sigil Witchery, 1)

I’ll admit I was initially skeptical if we needed yet another book on sigil magic, but this book offers an innovative perspective on sigils, going outside of the chaos magic approach and making sigil magic a lot more accessible, while also still respecting the source material. The author does a great job of presenting her approaches to sigil magic and provides some helpful examples for anyone reading the book.

The media could not be loaded. "Sigil Witchery: A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magick Symbols" is a very well written and informative book. Well-suited towards beginning witches and experienced practitioners alike, it presents a great deal of information regarding sigils and their creation. A section including a small library of symbols Zakroff uses in her sigils - as well as a chart to fill in symbols with your own associations - makes the book quite interesting and relatively useful for beginners! Experienced sigil workers can also learn a lot from the "Sigil Witchery" as well, as it offers new perspectives on the matter. At the very least, it acts as a wonderful reference text and a very enjoyable read.I've included a video review I posted on my YouTube channel, "JR Macabre - Paganism & More," about the book. It's much more detailed than I could explain in text. Overall, the book was enjoyable, informative, and straight to the point - all you could ask and more in a book about sigil magick!

I took the authors sigil workshop on zoom and adore everything about her teaching style. This book is a great companion to what I learned there and I will continue to learn from her work and use sigils in my work.

Zarkoff's approach to sigil crafting in particular and the spiritual practice of modern witchcraft very strongly resonates with my own approach. It was a real treat to see ideas and approaches I've developed on my own over years right there in print from someone else. Very validating and encouraging! At the same time, I'm confident that anyone can connect to her writing. Her style is so inclusive, accepting and encouraging that it will be a comfortable, appealing read for a wide range of backgrounds and traditions. As an art minor in college, I enjoyed her deep dive into the history of symbolism in the initial chapters, and her discussion of art supplies will no doubt be a bit of fun for any artist type. "Sigil Witchery" is a very helpful, inspiring read for anyone interested in the use of symbolism whether they are from a magical background or not.

The author is quite a good artist and she has leveraged her ability in making sigils. I called these "art sigils" since they use symbols from your imagination. However, not everyone is artistically inclined. I was hoping there would be information around creating other types of sigils, such as a witch's wheel, numeric square, and runes. I was able to find that information from other sources, but still feel this is a good addition to my library.

This book COMPLETELY changed how I do sigil work! I've tried many methods, the "make a phrase, take out vowels, scramble letters" method, that wheel letter method, it just didn't feel right, was too rigid for me. This book? It opened up a whole new world to sigils. It doesn't have to be some confusing letter mash-up that you burn and forget about. Sigils can be powerful works of art!It's seriously packed with information and a great book if you want to dive deeper into sigils in a less than tradition fashion. You'll find witchcraft history, symbol and number meanings, sigil method comparisons, some brief element and zodiac info, I can't even name it all, there's so much to absorb! There are even little spaces meant for you to write *your* interpretation of different symbols and what they mean to you, and I LOVE that. It makes it that much more personal and a wonderful reference book.In my experience, I didn't start having real, noticeable, success in sigil work until I dived into doing it this way! I have many different witchcraft and occult books, but Sigil Witchery is the book I go back to most for references, or just to reread and refresh my memory! I definitely recommend this book to any witch that's drawn to sigils but the most popular methods don't resonate. You won't regret buying this book!

This is a well written book where the author explains everything in a clear, concise, practical, and sometimes a delightfully humorous way. She uses modern language and examples that today's readers can easily relate to. I am an avid lover of ancient mystical tomes, rare magic books, and have read my fair share of New Age ones too, and I can say that this book does have real substance, which was a very pleasant surprise. The author shares her knowledge and personal experiences in a generously open and cohesive way.I would highly recommend this book to someone who want to embark on the journey of Sigil Magic.

Words cannot express how much I love this book. There are so many ideas and it’s written in a way that really helps you understand the “why” and develop a process that works for you.

Para los amantes de los sigilos es una gran herrienta.

The book explains everything simply and visually, and encourages you to experiment and create your own style. A refreshing new way for magical and non magical folk to make their own sigils. )0(

This book is great! Lots of information, and sections where you are guided through creating your own symbols and sigils.

I’ve had this book for only three hours and I’ve learned more about the power of using your own creativity to design a truly meaningful sigil, than I have in three years of looking at other texts.It’s well structured, clearly presented and accessible. It’s no shortcut book, but put in the legwork and the rewards are worth it.

I have to practice all the stuff so I can’t talk about results yet, but the information has a nice research behind and synthesizes concepts that can be a little dense if you’re new into the occult world.
