Important Notice: I no longer maintain the native apps for Sigilizer. The only active version is the web-based application, available at https://caostar.com/sigilizer/.

I’ve just released a new magickal tool: the Sigilizer. Below is the explanation presented within the app:

Sigilization is a magickal technique that involves redesigning a desire, either mantric or pictorial, and charging it in a state of Gnosis so that the created symbol can access the almighty “Subconscious,” ultimately helping make that wish come true.

There are several ways to create a sigil, but the method used by the Sigilizer to create mantric sigils was popularized by Austin Osman Spare and consists of three simple steps:

1 – Declare an intent:

Ex: It is our will to create sigils.

Note: It is said that starting with “It is my/our will” is more effective.

2 – Eliminate all repeated letters, accents, and points:

It is our will to create sigils

This leaves us with:

I T S O U R W L C E A G

3 – Arrange the letters to form a pronounceable mantra:

Ex: OGITAL ERCUWS or TESAGO CURILW

This technique has proven effective and is popular among Chaos Magicians. However, the process can feel bureaucratic and tedious, while the most important part is the state of Gnosis and charging the sigil.

At this point, the Sigilizer comes in. The app automates the process of creating mantric sigils based on the intent you input. And not just one sigil, but several variations. The script always seeks to create the most pronounceable mantras by moving vowels to separate consonants.

Additionally, the Sigilizer is a collective project aimed at understanding what magicians are desiring. Each input intent is saved anonymously in a database (Only the web app saves inputs; the versions in the App Store and Google Play do not store any data.). The idea is to eventually compile a “Desiring Panel,” which will be showcased in art installations and related events.

Besides generating sigils, the app offers a simple meditation to help charge them. Input your desire, sigilize it, and click on “Can we offer a meditation to charge it?” to take a brief journey (Available only in the desktop version.). Below is the explanation about the meditation:

This meditation uses the Sigilizer to generate multiple sigils based on your desire. Each sigil is “spoken” by the app, while the letters forming the sigil are drawn in motion in the background. The idea is for you to sit in a meditative posture and empty your mind to “receive” impressions from the visualization. The full meditation lasts about 15 minutes, but you can watch the screen for as long as you need. Experience suggests that using strong doses of hashish can significantly enhance this meditation.

And a Tool for Guerrilla Magick – A Mobile Sigilizer

Since the primary goal of the Sigilizer is to eliminate the tedium and bureaucracy often found in magick, a mobile version was needed to allow sigil use in “runtime” situations. Simply open the Sigilizer on your phone, and bam! The mobile version of the tool will present itself, optimized for the device. You can generate sigils for anything at any time. “It is my will to receive my pizza, eventually,” anyone?

Even better, after opening it for the first time, your phone will save the app, so you can use it offline—even in the jungle!

The Sigilizer is now available on both the App Store and Google Play, much easier to use with full-screen mode support.

PS: The core engine of the app is hosted on GitHub (https://github.com/caostar/sigilizer) under the Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License (WTFPL).
