SIGILS:

1. Safe places for sigils - in your wallet, shoes, on a bottle of water, on a key ring.

CREATING A SIGIL:

• Create a short phrase or wording to invoke the intention you want. For example: “TRIPLE GODDESS” if you want to have the intention of connecting with the triple goddesses.
• Remove any extra letters to condense down the word. So TRIPLE GODDESS would become TRIPLE GODS.
• Then you can take out the vowels if you want to. Or go ahead and assign the numbers from the Sator Square. Sator Square is a 3x3 square filled with the numbers 1-9 in this alignment:

4 9 2

3 5 7

8 1 6

• The corresponding letters to the Sator Square are as follows:
• 1 - AJS. 2 - BKT. 3 - CLU. 4 - DMV. 5 - ENW. 6 - FOX. 7 - GPY. 8 - HQZ. 9 - IR
• So TRPLGDS would create the numbers 2973741.
• Take out the extra numbers if so desired. in this case I changed it to 297341.
• Then in your 3x3 graph, draw out the numbers from start to finish.

THE EYE OF HORUS AND THE HAMSA:

1. The Hamsa and the importance of eyes and drawing them or wearing eye amulets: The Hamsa wards off potential negative forces or ill intentions and deflects it straight back to the sender. The symbol is an open palm with an eye on it and refers to the Eye of Horus. It is said that the sun and the moon are the Eyes of Horus. The right side of your body is sun energy. The left side of your body is moon energy. Drawing an eye on both palms of your hands gives you the Eyes of Horus. This protects you, brings you into harmony with your own success, and attracts goodness into your life.
2. The Eye of Horus - The Eye of Horus was used as a sign of healing, prosperity, and protection (esp against diseases), derived from the myth of Isis and Osiris. Osiris was the oldest son of the God of the Earth, Geb, and the Goddess of the Sky, Nut, and was known as the God of the Underworld but, more appropriately, as the God of Transition, Resurrection, and Regeneration. Osiris had three siblings: Isis, Set, and Nephthys. Osiris married his sister, Isis, as was the timely Royal custom, and had a son named Horus. The myth started when Set, Osiris’ brother, murdered Osiris to claim the throne, which caused disorder and chaos in ancient Egypt. Set’s brutality did not stop at killing Osiris, and he proceeded to cut Osiris' body into 14 parts that were distributed across ancient Egypt. Isis traveled with Horus in search of Osiris’s body parts. Isis also recruited the help of her sister, Nephthys, and Nephthys’ son, Anubis. Anubis was the son of Nephthys and Osiris, and it is said that Nephthys wickedly assumed the shape of Isis to seduce Osiris and conceive Anubis. Isis, Nephthys, Anubis, and Horus were able to find 13 parts of Osiris. The spirit of Osiris was then able to pass to Amenti, the underworld, and rule the dead. When Horus killed Set in the large battle near Edfu, he proclaimed his kingdom, restoring the order to Egypt. The ancient Egyptians used this legendary fight as a metaphor of the battle between good and evil, order and chaos. Afterward, Horus was idolized by the ancient Egyptians in the form of the Eye of Horus.
