Sigimists

Sigimists are individuals who engage in sigimism, a practice characterized by the collection and study of sigils. Sigils are symbolic representations, often created through personal ritual or intention, believed to hold specific power or significance for the creator. The practice of sigimism draws upon various esoteric and magical traditions, with practitioners developing their own unique methods for sigil creation and activation.

The origins of sigimism are debated, with roots potentially found in ancient shamanic practices, medieval European grimoires, and modern chaos magic movements. While some sigimists adhere to established systems of sigil creation, others emphasize personal intuition and experimentation. The purpose of sigil creation can vary widely, ranging from personal development and goal manifestation to spiritual exploration and artistic expression.

Sigimists typically create sigils by abstracting intent into a visual form, often through methods like sentence reduction and geometrical combination. Once created, the sigil is often charged with energy and then "forgotten" or banished from conscious thought to allow its influence to operate on a subconscious level. The effectiveness or reality of sigil magic is a matter of belief and personal experience among its practitioners. There is no scientific evidence to support the efficacy of sigilism.
