Seals & Sigils These are images that possess various magick powers and are used for various purposes. Many spirits possess a specific image (a seal or sigil) that transmits its essence and may be used to summon or theoretically control them. Sigils and seals are usually geometric but many will be representational. They are integral to medieval methods of commanding and compelling spirits. The word sigil derives directly from the Latin sigillum, meaning seal, (which is why sigil and seal are used synonymously). Many sigils incorporate hebrew letters and words ands may or may not derive from Kabbalistic traditions and ancient Jewish magicks. ( Medieval Christian demonologists also commonly incorporated Hebrew into sigils.) The word sigil may also relate to the hebrew word segulah, which has various, complex meanings. A segulah may be a talisman, treasure,virtue,remedy, or something possessing the power to heal or effect spiritual change.
