A Sigil For My Friend

Any eccentric artist will agree that inspiration comes and goes, gotta strike while it's hot, and ride that creativity wave whenever she appears. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece—using my intricate doodle style painting to create a one of a kind intention-based piece for a friend who gave me the idea to work with sigils.

In this custom piece, my friend asked to call in abundance. To figure out which letters to incorporate, I wrote the intention as a simple sentence: (Friend's Name) Desires Abundance. Next, I crossed out all vowels in the sentence, followed by all repeating letters. Once those were eliminated the remaining letters were H L R B. I sketched out a few thumbnails and chose my favorite. Because abundance is associated with the Root chakra, I covered this canvas in shades of red. In the middle of this painting you can trace the letters HLRB as they comprise the centerpiece symbol, the personal sigil for my friend. 

In keeping with a focus on the Root chakra, notice the sigil symbol itself appears nestled in the comfort of a strong root system. Cradled and grounded by the sinewy tendrils below, the intention-laden symbol rests in anticipation for the blessings of abundance to come. The fluid shapes that enclose the upper right area serve as the channels through which my friend can expect their incoming prosperity to travel. Perhaps my friend will display this unique piece in a special place in their home, maybe an altar or similar sacred space. It was an honor to produce this and I look forward to similar projects soon. What is an intention you have in mind? I'd love to create something special to help you call in your goals and dreams.
