On Sigils, Desire,
and calling in the life we want
Hello Friends,
If you follow me on social media, or read my post scripts here, you know I launched a Kickstarter for an expanded, updated version of my book Sigil Magic for Writers, Artists, & Other Creatives this week.
I wanted to expand the book because I see so many friends—writers, artists, crafters, musicians—struggle to make time for their creativity. Those who do make time, often still struggle with what success means for them.
Desire is not just a want or a need. Desire is the place those two things meet inside us. Desire then requires will and intention to bring it forth or to call it in. We can evoke or invoke the things that we desire. Using sigils helps me do that. Sigils—symbolic signatures—are little magical operations that help focus both my desire and my intentions.
My daily magical and spiritual practice is one reason I have so much success. And remember, for me, success means I’ve followed through on my desires. I’ve paid attention and figured out how to support showing up for what I both want and need. Consistent practice makes it easier to get my butt in the chair and write, to run my business, and all the other things life and creativity require.
On Twitter, writer Julia F. Green wrote:
“Yesterday I told another creative that though I have plenty of writing struggles, the daily practice, the slow chipping away, has become much easier over the years. ‘Consistency is sexy,’ she said & now I want this cross stitched on throw pillows I can give to every writer I know.”
I agree. Consistency is sexy. Consistency helps us root into all of our relationships, be they with humans, animals, trees, work, community, or creativity. Consistency helps us harness life energy and apply it with a purpose. Consistency bolsters will, and will is putting our intentions into action.
What are your struggles with consistency? What supports you?
What offers you a feeling of success?
Wishing you the best.
